Some entertainment sites are reporting receiving gifts from ‘Flynn Lives’. The gift includes a hand written note with the words ‘/zerohour’.  When you put them together you get Flynnlives/zerohour. This features a countdown of some description.

The guys over at /Film have figured out it is a binary countdown, calculated to end February 24th at 8:00am Pacific Time (4pm GMT).

The feeling is this will lead to a new trailer.

Kevin Flynn is the character played by Jeff Bridges in the original 1982 movie, in which his character was sucked into a cyber world where he had to help a program that he had created, called Tron, to defeat a master control program.  Flynn escaped his cyber prison at the end of the movie, but in the interim years has gone missing and in the sequel, Tron Legacy, his son Sam (played by Garrett Hedlund) is trying to solve the mystery of his disappearance.

Michael is reputed to play a nightclub host in the cyber world.

Sadly, the film Unthinkable does not look as if it is going to get a theatrical release in the UK.  Amazon.co.uk have started accepting pre-orders on the DVD prior to a June 14th release date.

IMDB are still listing a theatrical release date of 8 April for the Netherlands, and have recently added 19th May for the US.

This psycological thriller is about Younger, an American Muslim man who claims to have nuclear bombs planted in three U.S. cities. With only two days before they are deployed, a black-ops interrogator and an FBI agent have to decide how far they will go in trying to get the captive terrorist to divulge the whereabouts of the bombs. The film also stars Samuel Jackson, Carrie-Anne Moss and Brandon Routh.

Dark Horizons.com have been doing a feature highlighting films to look out for in 2010.  ‘The Special Relationship’ was featured the other day, and in the most recent episode they have both Tron Legacy and Unthinkable.

Sadly, they reveal nothing new about Michael’s role in Tron Legacy.

“Michael Sheen will serve as the film’s villain, a night club owner inside the Tron world rather than a new version of the MCP [Master Control Program] as previously rumoured.”

For Unthinkable they touch on the topic of its delayed release.

“Originally slated to be released through the now defunct Senator Distribution, the project went on the block at the AFM in November. Several international territories are set, but the film has yet to be picked up for US distribution inspite of the involvement of the likes of Sheen and Jackson.”

Screencaps of the ‘You’re The Boss’ DVD have been added to the Gallery.

In ‘You’re The Boss’ Michael Sheen presents a hilarious look at the world of Football Managers. There are hints of Frost, Kenneth Williams, and of course Cloughie in Michael’s presentation as he takes the viewer on a tour of some managerial highlights: the rants, the feuds, the scandals and much more as we get inside the minds of the men who have enthralled us from the era of Shankly and Clough right up to the modern age of Wenger, Mourinho and Ferguson.

Please click on the thumbnails below.

This is a great gift for the football fan in your life, and also for the Michael Sheen fan as most aspects are covered with humour and wit. You can get this from Amazon and help our NSPCC appeal at the same time.  Please click on the thumbnail below to take you through to Amazon.

For those that have not had an opportunity to watch this previously, you can now get it on DVD.

In this brilliant BBC drama about a well loved British actor, Michael Sheen plays Kenneth Williams.  Famous for his roles in the Carry On movies, Kenneth Williams played the fool in public, but in private was a deeply unhappy man.  The story is derived greatly from Kenneth Williams’ own diaries, and Michael Sheen gives a brilliant and complex performance of a brilliant complex man.

There are already screen caps available in our Gallery.

The DVD is available now on pre-order from our partners Amazon. Please click the thumbnail below.

There has been rumours for a while that Michael may not be appearing in Submarine since he said on Twitter a few months ago when asked if it was true he would be working with Paddy Considine, he replied below.

There has still been no official word that he is no longer involved with the project, but a video interview on Digital Spy with Paddy sort of confirms this. While talking about Submarine, he claims Michael Sheen “bailed out”.
