WATCH: Michael Fassbender Is 007 In Christopher Nolan’s James Bond

Here’s a YouTube mashup that is a little too much fun to ignore: Michael Fassbender as secret agent 007 in Christopher Nolan ‘s James Bond (as edited together by one inspired internet film enthusiast). Industry prognosticators have suggested that Skyfall will be Daniel Craig’s final go as 007, so speculation has already begun as to who’ll replace him. There ain’t a person alive who isn’t delighted to have Fassbender taking more prominent roles in Hollywood, and the time is nigh for him to land a major franchise where he’s the star. (Magneto doesn’t count; he may be the best performer in those films, but when January Jones is in a white fur hat and go-go boots it’s hard to determine who’s the real star.) While Fassbender claiming a license to kill (right now he just has a learner’s permit) isn’t that far-fetched, the chances of Nolan directing someone else’s intellectual properties post-Batman are pretty slim. Still, we can dream. Mr88668866 (we’ve only met causally once or twice, so I don’t quite feel comfortable calling him 8866 just yet) thinks it is such a good idea he’s trying to “incept” it on all of us. With the Hans Zimmer score and clips from most of Nolan’s best known work in the mix, he’s intercut various shots of M-Fass brooding, glancing and scowling in a way that says “Britain’s secrets are safe with me.” Do yourself a favor and watch this video twice. The first time, obviously, to see if you can catch where all the movie clips come from. The second time to say, you know, this really would be pretty sweet. [via Hollywood.com ]

First Skyfall Teaser: Bond. Bleak Bond.

Get excited for the first teaser for Skyfall, which steps beyond gay-travel-brochure stylings , Heineken gambits , and Photoshop banalities into a more conventional realm of 007 viral marketing. To wit: Daniel Craig, working his wounded, blue-eyed magic as the world’s most tormented superspy. Things are getting dark around here! Which doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun — at least visually , right? Needs more Javier Bardem , but hey. The table — and the mood — are set by director Sam Mendes, who knows from crippling emo despondency . ” Skyfall ? Skyfall ?” “Done.” Not soon enough, alas: The film arrives in theaters Nov. 9.

John Truesdale Identified as John Travolta Accuser

John Travolta’s second masseur accuser, John Truesdale, will no longer be known as John Doe No. 2 after the New York Daily News unearthed his name. Reporters from the paper tracked down the Mandarin Oriental Atlanta hotel employee in Georgia. You can follow this link to see a photo of Truesdale . The 250-pound, 40-year-old masseur is an ex-football player and certified black belt who sought to remain anonymous while accusing the star of sexual battery . He can forget about the anonymous part now. “I thought I was supposed to be anonymous,” Truesdale said outside Smyrna, Ga. home. “The paparazzi are here for me? I can’t believe it,” he laughed. Aside from cracking a few jokes, he didn’t reveal much, declining to talk to reporters about claims that Travolta stripped naked and started humping a massage table in front of Truesdale, among other things, in a private hotel suite in January. “I can’t talk about [the case],” he said. “I’m not allowed to comment.” In a surprise move last week, Truesdale dropped his lawsuit against the actor … then hired Gloria Allred to represent him, which can only mean another suit. “I can confirm that we do represent Mr. Truesdale, and that we have great confidence in him,” said Allred, the famed victims’ rights powerhouse attorney. “We are conferring with him regarding the next course of action in this matter. Neither our client nor our law firm have any other comment at this time.” Allred also represents the first accuser of sexual assault against Travolta, who also dropped his original lawsuit, and whose identity has not been released. Allred has denied allegations that she stole clients from their original lawyer. Two additional accusers have also come forward, but have not pursued legal action. [Photo: WENN.com]

Latest Skyfall Image: Go Poolside with James Bond

The latest publicity shot to come from the Skyfall set is several steps up from the Banal 007 meme witnessed a while back, though it’s still pretty banal: Daniel Craig, with his back to the lens, sits on the ledge of a pool. At night. Ripped. Part movie photo, part gay-resort brochure. Alas! It’s just James Bond chillin’ at the London Four Seasons. Meanwhile, according to the synopsis accompanying the fist-look photo in Empire , “With Craig and director Sam Mendes promising something on an even bigger and more emotional canvas than ever before, expect great things from Bond 23…” Will do.

Mr. Skin’s Nude Movie Report: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The American adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens in theaters tonight at midnight, and while you’re probably not surprised to hear star Rooney Mara makes her nude debut (duh, she’s topless on the poster ), thanks to our Skin Skout we’re gonna get all Lisbeth on you and dig in to the dirty details. But don’t worry, we aren’t going to hack your laptop…God knows what we’d find on there! Rooney’s nudes begin on a decidedly unpleasant note as she bares butt during a graphic anal rape scene 54 minutes in. Then 4 minutes later, we see her pierced boobs for the first time, as well as her bruised cheeks, as she washes herself off afterwards. They did say it was going to be “The Feel-Bad Movie of Christmas”… Luckily, the rest of the movie’s nudity is in a consensual context, with Rooney showing snookers to a lez-be-friend she picks up at a nightclub 1 hour, 16 minutes in, then going AC/DC by baring boobs, butt and strawberry blonde bush in the sack with Daniel Craig 1 hour, 39 minutes and 2 hours, 14 minutes in. Want a sneak peek of Rooney’s boobies? You’ll be The Guy with the Raging Hard-On when you see our The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo page right here at MrSkin.com!

VIDEO: A Brief History of Cinema’s Leather-Bound Lady Hackers

While the smothering contraption worn by Daniel Craig in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo most definitely bear noting, a few of us are a little more preoccupied with how Rooney Mara’s character, Lisbeth Salander, falls in line with the fashions of cinema’s best-known female computer hackers. Hint: Pretty well!

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Review: Simply Stunning

Technically and stylistically, David Fincher’s adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo should thrill fans of the Stieg Larsson book trilogy and newcomers alike. Simply put, the director’s dark vision and aesthetic brilliance make for a movie marvel. Casting, of course, plays a huge role in the film’s success, especially when the subject has already been tackled successfully by Swedish filmmakers with Noomi Rapace as the lead. In the U.S. version, Rooney Mara is scary good as Lisbeth Salander. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trailer (Extended) Mara’s bravado is explosive and the actress deserves serious consideration for an Academy Award nomination. Throughout The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , it is difficult to take one’s eyes off of Mara, no matter how much takes place around her. Daniel Craig is also outstanding as the co-protagonist, a journalist recently disgraced for libel.
