Michael Fassbender Joins Brady Corbet’s “World”

Michael Fassbender is in negotiations to join “Vox Lux” and “Childhood of a Leader” filmmaker Brady Corbet’s mysterious new feature film.

Not a lot is known about the project, with Corbet offering the most clues in a previous interview where he said the whole tale spans from the 19th century to the present day, and will primarily be set in the 1970s.

He calls it “really, really genre-defying” and has a “looser style” than his previous films. It will potentially be an X-rated film and will be shot using rare eight-perf 65mm cameras.

There’s even a rumored title – “The Origin of the World”. David Kaplan and Andrew Morrison produce the feature, which will be Corbet’s first directorial effort since “The Brutalist” landed 10 Oscar nominations.

He also recently produced the talked-about Amanda Seyfried-led feature “The Testament of Ann Lee”.

Fassbender is currently in Cannes with Na Hong-jin’s South Korean sci-fi thriller “Hope” and was recently seen in Steven Soderbergh’s “Black Bag” and Paramount+ series “The Agency”.
