Book Review: 'Rainer on Film' Fassbender and McQueen Set for Third Collaboration: 12 Years A Slave, Based on True Story
Michael Fassbender and Steve McQueen will team up for a third time for 12 Years a Slave. Following Hunger and Shame (pictured together on set), the actor and writer-director will bring to life the true story of Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a citizen of New York who was kidnapped and enslaved in 1841, before being saved from a Louisiana cotton plantation twelve years later.
Here's our interview with Fassbender from not so long ago when we -- after knockouts Fish Tank and Hunger but before X-Men, Jane Eyre, etc. -- were already certain he would be a star.

Feels like McQueen is going from politics (Hunger) to sex (Shame) to race (12 Years A Slave). Maybe he will tackle religion after that?! Still, Hunger was fantastic and I am keenly awaiting Shame's release in Australia in early February. I wonder if Fassbender will take on a villainous role in the Slave film?
