Hey hey,
I must admit I was bit reluctant to post this seeing as how my part in this movie is TINY and I'm not 100% sure I even made the final cut but, what the hell....check it out if you can. It looks like it could be kind of a fun ride. I think you can see the trailer at www.nextmovie.com
...and thus, this ends my shameless plug for a bit part.
Cheers, Michael

Hey this is your forum so plug away!! The more chances we get to watch your performances the better I say

So what happens of they do cut your part? Aside from the obvious that you won't be mentioned in it or credited for it in anyway, do you get paid for the work that you did even though it ends up on the cutting room floor? It'd seriously bite if you put all kinds of hours in on a project and not even get paid!

You always get "paid to play"....whether or not you end up in the final cut is totally at the discretion of the producers or director, but you get paid for the work 'performed', not the work 'seen'.

How does this show just keep getting better? I'm on pins and needles just waiting for the finale. I LOVE the haircut and he's a nugget again! Sammy the fighter pilot! Reminds me of his days on PWoG

Wonder what his call sign will be...Superstar? LOL That'd be too funny!
Now I have to admit that I got spoiled (and not on purpose I might add drat it all) and I'm not going to say anything but if what I've heard happens I think it'll be way cool for alot of things make a hell of alot of sense.
Michael, I loved all the scenes you were a part of this last week and with Racetrack's scenes, I think they were the best of the show. You totally rock!

I'll be watching for you then. Don't feel bad if you don't make the screen. I have a friend who thought she was going to be in "Love Actually" and we're sitting in the theatre going WTF? She was a little embarresed, but like you said, she got paid! LOL

You know what? I'm not going to be able to see this movie on the big screen because it doesn't seem like it's going up in Swedish theaters. That totally sucks

So...I went to a screening for the film NEXT last night and, lo and behold, my scene with Jessica Biel and Nic Cage was in there in it's entirety. A pleasant surprise really. It's not a huge scene but it's fun. So, take a friend or two this weekend to your local cineplex and check it out. The movie is really quite entertaining. Fast-paced and fun!
Thanks for your support!

I saw one of the trailers for the movie over the last week or so and saw just a flash of that scene you're talking about Michael! I was on-line with a friend of mine and basically went nuts. "I just saw MT in that new movie of his!!!" LOL It doesn't take a lot to excite me

Looks like a great movie and I do plan to see it here sometime!

Interesting movie... some definite holes, (i.e., antagonists logic/motives), but the scene was fun- kinda guessing you prefered the "second take"?

Hey! :-)
Germany has - finally - a release date for "Next": 19. July 2007. If I'm lucky I get the movie during the cinema 'open-air' season. :-))

You're all more than welcome - it was my pleasure capturing. ;-)
I wish they'd start BSG S4 eventually... or release PoWG on DVD. *grmpf*

Oh I hear ya on that Mel, I search all the time to see when/if PWoG will be released and even Michael doesn't know so, the wait continues... I can't even find Dr. Quinn on DVD here abouts and I'd get the whole of season 6 (?) just to get the one with Michael's bit on it.
Lyssie
Oct 4 2007, 02:31 AM
Aha. Netflix is a wonderful thing. Apparently, one needs Disc Four of season six to get 'Seeds of Doubt'... Oh well, I suffered Horatio Caine for Trucco and Ben Browder. How bad can Dr. Quinn be?

Just watched this movie... I had forgotten that MT was in it, and was pleasantly surprised when he appeared on screen. Great job!
While this movie was decent but not quite up to my expectations. Seeing MT in it was the defining factor. It certainly left me with a noteworthy feeling. Thanks Michael.

I'm not a big Nicholas Cage fan and the only reason I watched it was because Michael had a small part, which I thought he did brilliantly. I just wish he had a bigger part!
Lyssie
Jan 5 2008, 08:45 PM
Hah! I, ah, have seen Trucco's scene and he was pretty much the only watchable thing about it.
Nikkipdx
Jan 5 2008, 08:51 PM
LOL Yeah Lyssie, I thought so as well

Cage was better in National Treasure I thought ... and Michael's role, though small in Next, was very well done

Good job Michael!!

I agree. I fell asleep while attempting to watch the rest of the movie.
