Michael Attends AMA's with Gina and Discusses Truth or Die

Last night Michael attended the American Music Awards with girlfriend Gina Rage and while he did not answer any questions about the woman suing him for child support, he did speak about his next film, Truth or Die. He said: "Yea we're still doing it. It's next. Ron Howard has signed on to direct. Paul Steinman who did the original Phone Booth film isn't involved anymore. Me and him spoke about Phone Booth on the set of Pelham 123 back 2009 and I told him how Phone Booth was one of my all time favorite films and it needed a sequel and he agreed so over the years we began working on script ideas but could never settle on anything we both loved and recently he decided to drop the film and he made Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise. I respect his decision. But this film meant too much to me to let it die so we kept it going. Olivia Wilde plays my wife in the film. She and I are executive producers on the project and began to work on the script ourself and got some writers to help us and now Ron is directing. The cast is incredible. Story is great. It takes place once again in New York. I'm a young politician running for U.S. Senate and I'm married to Olivia Wilde's character. Gary Oldman is an older more experienced politician who I am running against. I get a call from the 'caller' once again voiced by Kiefer Sutherland and all hell breaks loose from there. Somehow my character ends up on a ledge of a high rise building and the whole city thinks I am about to jump. I have a fear of heights in real life so doing that was a huge challenge for me. Sean Penn plays the police captain guy who is trying to talk me down. His character has his own issues going on. Keira Knightley plays a mistress I have been having an affair with who gets drawn into the drama at some point as well. It's gonna be very very interesting." He added the film would be shooting entirely in New York City from January 2013 to March 2013 for an October 2013 release.
