Maggie Gyllenhaal Joins Michael Fassbender In Music Comedy Frank published: 2012-12-30 19:19:47 Author: Sean O'Connell (CINEMA BLEND)

Neither Maggie Gyllenhaal nor Michael Fassbender are names that come to mind when casting for a comedy. So we’re already curious about the smaller-budgeted Frank before a sing;e frame of footage is shot.

The Film Stage posts the news – confirmed by the Albuquerque Business Journal – that Gyllenhaal has joined the still-developing ensemble for the musical comedy, which also stars Domhnall Gleeson (currently burning up the screen in Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina) and Scoot McNairy (currently burning up the screen in both Ben Affleck’s Argo and Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly).

And on vocals and Fender Telecaster... it's Fassbender! (INDEPENDENT)

They sounded like any band in a Dublin rehearsal room. But there was something quite extraordinary about the five-piece outfit heard running through their set in a city centre rehearsal space this week.

Their lead singer is Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender – star of movie Shame – and his backing band included rising Irish movie talent Domhnall Gleeson and Carla Azar, Jack's White percussionist, on drums.

However, this band were not rehearsing for a gig in Whelan's, but a starring role in director Lenny Abrahamson's new Irish movie Frank.

"Fingers crossed, my keyboards make it to the soundtrack and I don't get replaced in the mix. They might just be saying to me 'you sound great' before they get a real keyboard player in to replace me," Domhnall Gleeson told The Diary.

Co-star Michael Fassbender could be more confident about his vocals and guitar, having once fronted a heavy metal band in his hometown of Killarney as a teenager.
