Empire Magazine's December Issue has a story on Ridley Scott's upcoming sci-fi space epic Alien: Genesis and it includes some photos from the film and they include two photos of Michael in character as his "cyborg" character, who is now confirmed to be named Logan 3.0. Michael is once again sporting blonde hair (the only other time he went blonde for a role was in Popular 3) and it is very long, like back in the days of Hostage/The Village long! No word yet on when we can expect a trailer from the film, which also stars Anya Camilla Bella, Bradley Cooper, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, and Guy Pearce, but it will land in theaters next summer on June 8, 2012. The film will be Michael's first 3D movie.
Michael is also quoted in the article a few times. The first time is about acting like a robot: "It was one of the hardest acting experiences of my career because I had to go against all my natural instincts as an actor. Humans are emotional. They show fear, they show concern. I had to hide all that and be very matter of fact, and cold, with my reactions to all this crazy shit going on all around me. It was very strange." He also elaborates on the physical demands for the part, which may elude to the "injuries" he supposedly suffered that caused him to start taking prescription pain killer medicine AGAIN: "My feet, my legs will never be the same because of this movie. I hope it's nothing too serious but these bio suits they had us wear were very very heavy and walking in them was ridiculous and on top of that my robotic prosthetics I had to wear made it even worse. By the end of the shoot I could hardly stand I had to rest a lot. I took a lot of time off after that shoot just to let my body recover. No role ever fucked up my body like that, and I've done fight training for films like The Fighter and Bond. So that was definitely an unexpected challenge. I'm going to need physical therapy for quite some time."
