The Many Women of Michael Reese Meyers Part 2

Name: Gina Rage

When They Dated: December 2011 - March 2012 and September 2012 to December 2012

How They Met: After seeing the Haywire trailer, Meyers looked her up online, liked what he saw and added her on Facebook. The pair spoke online and one the phone for weeks before meeting in person.

Impact: She almost had his child. It seemed at first that her sultry yet shy and enigmatic personality would be the perfect counter balance to match Meyer's high strung charisma but the two just couldn't make it work. In March 2012 the pair broke up after she aborted his child behind his back. They reunited in the fall of 2012 while he and his band Chants of Reign went on their first ever U.S. tour. At this point they were in more of an open relationship so Rage was also seeing Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill on the side and Meyers found the time to have a one night stand with up and coming actress Natalia Martinez when she went to one of the band's shows and wound up getting her pregnant. Things eventually died down between the two in late December 2012 once Meyer's focus began to shift toward being there for the mother of his coming child (as well as new love interest Frankie Sandford) and this allowed Rage and Cavill to become an official couple.

Where Is She Now?: Rage is becoming a bigger star in Hollywood right now landing a role in the sixth Fast and Furious film as a member of Dwayne Johnson's team. While her MMA career seems to be officially dead in the water, she is quickly becoming the new female action star Hollywood is turning to when they want a sexy female who can do her own fight stunts.

Name: Jessica Lounge

When They Dated: They didn't.

How They Met: Lounge was Meyers' date to the Avengers Los Angeles premiere on the night of his 28th birthday, May 4th, 2012. Meyers had reached out to her to be his date with the hopes that they could start dating but that night Minka Kelly ran into them at the after party and wouldn't leave him alone. Meyers was later spotted in Miami and various other places with Kelly and never seen again with Lounge.

Impact: None.

Where Is She Now?: Still singing and acting on CW's 90210.

Name: Minka Kelly

When They Dated: May 2012 to September 2012

How They Met: She ambushed his date with Jessica Lounge at the Avenger's premiere in L.A. on the night of his 28th birthday. The two went on to become an item for the rest of that summer.

Impact: She showed Meyers what it was like for the first time to be the one in a relationship who ISN'T needy. They dated long distance over the summer of 2012 since he was busy filming the latest Bond film. She did accompany him to the Alien: Genesis premiere in London that June of 2012. In an interview after their breakup he mentioned she was too needy and that normally that was HIS role in relationships in the past. He finally saw with his own eyes how it feels to be on the other end of that. The distance was just too much for them to handle. She later said in the press that his sex was "amazing".

Where Is She Now?: She is still acting and has a part as Jackie Kennedy in the upcoming drama "The Butler".

Name: Frankie Sandford

When They Dated: December 2012 to February 2013

How They Met: Meyers saw Frankie and her group the Saturdays filming their reality show in New York City and approached Sandford, told her he was a fan, interested in going on a date, and she siad yes, if he agrees to be apart of their reality show.

Impact: Many speculate Meyers was trying to get his "new Mel" since Frankie has similar features to Morley, dark hair, and is British. Unfortunately, the tattooed and famously tempestuous member of the English pop group (whose had her issues with alcoholism, DUI, and manic depression) had too much of a busy schedule with her group to make time for their relationship. You see the pair argue over the phone during her group's E! reality show about how she couldn't spend Valentine's Day with him due to a performance and it was the last straw. Some speculated their relationship was not "real" and only for the show. Both say it was real.

Where Is She Now?: Frankie and her group are now trying to make it in America and have a new hit song called "What About Us?"

Name: Natalia Martinez

When They Dated: They never did.

How They Met: September 2012 back stage after one of Meyers' Chants of Reign concerts.

Impact: She will be the mother of his child. Meyers and the up and coming actress had a passionate one night stand and she will now have his son.

Where Is She Now?: The Broken City actress will give birth to their son London Cologne Swagger on May 23, 2013. 

Blog Update: "2013 Plans, Music News, Balancing My Soul"

Hello fans & friends, Mike here. Sorry I haven't blogged in a minute. Been super busy. Won't make this too long (wait, don't I always say that then ramble on for 12 paragraphs? haha). Just wanted to keep you up to date on what I been up to, what is next, and clarify some comments I made in a recent interview....

- I am currently in NYC filming Truth or Die with director Ron Howard, and actors Gary Oldman, Sean Penn, Olivia Wilde, and Keira Knightley. It has been a complete BLAST and we will be here until mid March. So much fun. Standing above NYC everyday has been a challenge since heights is my biggest fear but it will turn out for a great movie.

- While here in the apple my band Chants of Reign and I have been recording our third album "Ill Escape" which will mostly be instrumentals and a few songs with lyrics. The sound of the album will be very unique and borrow heavily from the current dub-trance sound that is very popular right now. The point of the record is to chill and relax to ambient and soothing music. It will have 3 singles we plan to release in the summer and fall, all positive and uplifting music. Expect the first single "Invincible" to hit sometime in April and the album will be in stores around June. Can't wait for you guys to hear some of these tracks.

- Obviously in May I will be promoting the new Bond film and then Natalia and I are expecting the birth of our son in late May. We already have decided on a name for him and it is pretty EPIC. I promise you have never heard of a name like this. The first name isn't too crazy, it's one of the world's largest cities, but the two middle names, as far as I know, have never been used as NAMES before and are quite unique, yet there's a ring to it when you say it. It flows real well together and I have a feeling a lot of people will be copying us when they hear it. Haha. Can't wait to shock the world with this one.

- This summer my band and I will be on tour in EUROPE with BOOMKAT, one of my favorite artists. Get your tickets now!

- In the fall I will be mostly in Los Angeles filming TED with director Seth McFarlane and actress Amy Adams. Also we will be recording our 4th Chants of Reign album as well, "The Last Romantic Left and his Phunky Phresh Phlow". This album has me so excited. It will be more R&B and funk based and have a romantic vibe to it. We will work with producers such as 40, DB Smooth, Jamiroquia, Daft Punk, you name it. Drake has agreed to be on a track. My boy from True Hollywood Story Tito Craig will be on a track. This record will be a straight up PROBLEM!!!! The sound is something like the type of music you play in your apartment on Valentine's night as you cook dinner and wait for your significant other to arrive. Very sexy and classy. Babymakers for sure. New swaggy sound. Once again we will be chameleons changing our sound. Unlike other bands where their fans love them for their one sound they stick to, our fans love us because of the emotions and moods and feelings our music puts them in, and we adapt to whatever sound we feel helps us best put you in that mood. That album will be out February 2014!

- Last but not least, my future. I know in a recent interview I mentioned possibly retiring from acting. I think what I meant to say was take a long "break". My good buddy DiCaprio mentioned recently he was gonna do the same. This industry can really tire you out, especially when you put in as much work as we do each and everytime we play a role and when you get nothing out of it you sometimes can feel, WHATS THE POINT? I do NOT want fans to worry. I am not pulling a Jared Leto and doing music full time. I still love acting and will still act, but only if the role is something that truly speaks to me. After TED comes out in 2014 I honestly only see myself doing the rest of the Bond films and maybe focusing more on music and maybe directing again. I honestly cannot wait to direct another movie. That is becoming my new passion. I just do not want to see myself on screen all the time just to see it. In my acting as you all know I am a chameleon of many different looks and I can't think of a look I haven't tried yet. Until I get to play Michael Jackson or a midget or a sickly guy in a wheelchair or Freddy Krueger or something, I just feel it's all old and been done before. I am looking for that next great transformation (think Heath Ledger as the Joker, Robert Downey Jr. in Inglorious Bastards, Gary Oldman in Shortcomings) and I just don't see any scripts right now that offer me that. It's quite sad. Who knows, we will see....

...Honestly I just feel the need to get my personal life in order over the next few years. One can be seen too much in this industry and maybe I need to disappear for a while and figure some things out. Some personal things. I look at young actors coming up in the game right now that I am a huge fan of...such as Alex Pettyfer, Sebastian Stan, Juno Temple, the amazing Jennifer Lawrence who I got to work with in Trust Me (p.s. J-Law and Bruce Willis are the ONLY 2 actors who have ever intimidated me on set, just with either their overall presence or raw talent, which shows you how great she is) and when I see these young actors and read their interviews, they remind me so much of me when I first started. So raw and fresh and new and hungry to be the best and learn...but also so lost. Not in a bad way, but in the sense of the fact that they are vagabonds with no real attachments, how they can't maintain a relationship and how that is not important to them, and I don't want to be that lost soul anymore. I came into this industry at 17 years old back in 2002 very lost and alone and searching for something and looking at where and who I am now, I shouldn't still be that same person, yet in a way...I am. That bothers me.


...I look at my ex-girlfriends Kristen Bell and Megan Fox. Both are married now. Megan just had a son. She has matured so much. Kristen is about to be a mother. We talk all the time. Have a GREAT friendship. She gives me wonderful advice. They are where I feel I need to be. I'm gonna be a father soon. It wasn't under the circumstances I always planned or imagined but it strangely feels it is happening at the right time and I am embracing it fully and couldn't be more excited. Natalia is a wonderful woman whom I'd love to be with "officially" but there are reasons why we can't which I refuse to comment on out of respect to her privacy. I want to be married and completely happy and stable in my personal life with ONE WOMAN and know where my source of satisfaction comes from each and everyday. I want to come home to a stable and happy and normal life. The one I never had growing up. I look at Robin Thicke and Paula Patton, Justin and Jessica Biel. I want a sexy fun mature relationship and to do good work outside of that. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are a perfect example.  I want satisfaction to come from the people around me and not need it from a world tour or albums sold or an Oscar statue or a million dollar contract from the Broccoli's. The happiest people I know aren't the richest or most famous, but the ones who are in love with someone who loves them back just as much. Each day can be a struggle to know what the point of it all is. I am sick of being numb and cold to it all and the vices we all use (drink, drugs, food, music, money, sex, etc.) to kill the pain. There is truly only one HEALTHY and LASTING thing that can give you the strength and clarity to face the world in a positive way and that is the love and devotion of another good human being who is your equal and understands you. Once my real life  is where I need it to be, then maybe everything else will fall into place. Until then, enjoy the stuff I do now over the next 2 years and I will see where the chameleon shows up after that.....


Until next time,
Me

New Meyers Interview for January 2013 Issue of Attitude Magazine

 Michael Reese Meyers just can't seem to stay in one place. The Oscar nominated 007 actor is known as the chameleon, always changing his appearance for his roles. He also loves to switch art forms, from acting in films to musician. He is the lead singer of Chants of Reign, an electro rock band he formed back in 2009 who he now says is "the second most important thing in my life". He has homes in Los Angeles, New York, and London. And as usual, he cannot seem to find love...in one place. After his legendarily tumultuous romance with Best Tears/Inception co-star Mel Morley (whom he says "feels like a lifetime ago") Meyers has been connected to everyone from Rosie Huntington to Mila Kunis to Demi Lovato to Jessica Lounge to Minka Kelly, and more. Much much more. The infamous ladies man admits he does not want to womanize, he wants love, BAD. "Something always goes wrong" he says when trying to explain why he hasn't been able to find lasting love with one woman. "I don't know if I ever will. I fall fast and hard and then some kind of cosmic karma ruins it somehow. I have no clue why". In this interview we try to probe the mysterious thespian behind those piercing blue eyes and what makes him tick. He refuses to make it easy and the more answers he gives, the less we understand, including him revealing some shocking facts about his "relationship" with Gina Rage, "casual" drug use, his Chants of Reign "love child", his plans for 2013, and possibly retiring from acting...for good...???

The 28 year old Meyers, born in Laguna Beach, California and raised in Beverly Hills, is eager to convince us that his demons are behind him. His drug issues are a thing of the past ("I still take prescription pain medication from time to time for migraines and body aches but it's not a problem" he insists) and he smokes the least marijuana of any of his Chants of Reign bandmates. He says he is more fond of alcohol but does not drink to the point of being drunk since he is "a lightweight" and "alcoholism runs in the family. I don't want to awake those genes". He says the biggest source of his female problems was his fractured relationship with his mother, Sonia Meyers (who has been a part of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for two seasons now), but that wound has now too finally healed. "Me and her have really gotten very close over the past year. After I went on the show and was a part of that reconciliation of her and my brother Tony's relationship, it led to a change in her behavior overall that has made our relationship much more peaceful. She is so laid back and much more supportive now. Not negative. She focuses on the positive and lets us make our own decisions. I like the new her." He says they speak multiple times a week now, when at one point they'd go months without speaking. "It's a normal mother-son dynamic now, versus a parole officer-criminal type dynamic, haha".

Since the beginning of 2012 Meyers has been tightly linked with former MMA fighter turned actress Gina Rage but the two split in the spring when she aborted their child behind his back. He spent the summer of 2012 filming his second James Bond film overseas all the while trying to maintain a long distance relationship with actress Minka Kelly, but that romance was short lived. "She was too clingy and for the first time I was the one who needed space. Normally I'm the one who gets accused of moving things along too fast and wanting too much too soon. Now all of a sudden I knew how it felt to be on the other side of that. It can get annoying". As the fall of 2012 approached Meyers began to go on tour with his band and found it in his heart to reunite with Gina. "We just couldn't stay away from each other. We have a very deep connection. She puts me at ease. I need that. I need her energy in my life" he says. But scandal rocked their relationship when in late October a Chants of Reign fan named Natalia Martinez came out and claimed Meyers impregnated her. Michael denied the child may be his but about a month later he was spotted meeting with Martinez in New York and released a statement that he and Martinez "will do what is best for the child and want to remain good friends no matter what the future brings". Meyers now confesses the child is his and that they are expecting her to give birth in April sometime. "She's a great girl and I'm glad she's in my life. I would never abandon a child that was truly mine, I just needed to be sure it was before I took the next step. I'm very excited to be a father". Meyers admits the situation did not cause much trouble in his relationship with Gina for one main reason: "We have an open relationship. There's no rules. When she's working or whatever, she's doing her thing. And I do my thing. When we are together, we're together." Meyers confesses Gina is "much like Mel, she's a free spirit, refuses to be tied down. She likes to disappear for a while. Have no contact with anyone. Be in her own zone, her own world for a bit. It helps her deal. I don't understand it, but I'm honestly fascinated by it, and I respect it".

                                 Michael with The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford in LA

Meyers has certainly taken advantage of his "freedom" to "do his thing". A few days before Christmas he was spotted at a New York coffee shop chatting with Scarlett Johansson (whom he acted with back in 2005's "Desire") but when asked if the two were an item he said "No, just good friends" with a mischievous smile. The real romance seems to be brewing elsewhere. He has also recently been seen out and about with British pop singer Frankie Sandford, one fifth of the English girl group The Saturdays. They made their debut when spotted shopping on Christmas Eve in Manhattan and Michael took her as his date to the Golden Globes in L.A. in January where he was nominated for Best Actor for his stellar dual performances in Oliver Stone's action thriller "The Devil's Double". Of Frankie Meyers refuses to say much but does concede "She's a fun chick. We have a great time together. She brings out the kid in me...and the accent doesn't hurt, haha".


When asked about his serial dating Meyers admits "it can come off like I'm some sort of player who just wants to go from girl to girl and bang everything in Hollywood but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm actually a hopeless romantic who loves love, marriage, all that. But I keep picking the wrong ones and they just (turn out to be) short lived and I meet someone else and it just sort of happens. But I don't mind it. I hate being single. I loathe it. I get real depressed. And we have all seen what happens when I am lonely, I get into trouble, haha (most of his arrests and rehabs have been during periods when he was single). I am much happier and stable and focused when I have a woman in my life. I just need that energy. I need to feel loved, wanted, needed. It's the way I am. So I prefer that pattern of going from relationship to relationship. But nailing everything that walks is NOT my goal. I want to find one girl and stick to her. That is the plan, it just doesn't seem to be working out that way, haha."

                 January 2013:: Michael with Frankie at the 2013 Golden Globes in Hollywood

          Michael and Frankie shopping at the Burberry store in New York on Christmas Eve 2012

        Meyers says 2013 will be "The Year of Conquering Fears". He will begin the year by hanging off a 70 story ledge while filming the Phone Booth sequel "Truth or Die" in New York City for 3 months. "I'm very very excited about this project. To work with Sean Penn and Gary Oldman, to act with Olivia Wilde and Keira (Knightley) again, two great friends of mine, it's going to be a blast. The script is great. We wanted to come up with something as unique as a man stuck in a phone booth so here I will be standing above the city high up on a ledge unable to leave because Kiefer (Sutherland's caller character) won't let me. Heights is my biggest phobia so I knew this would help me attack that fear. I am producing the film with Olivia through our new production company we started together, Passion 8 Productions. So that's been an exciting business venture that has brought me and her closer together as both friends as well as business partners. A lot of work but a ton of fun too".

          In the sequel Meyers will portray a young Democrat Congressman running for New York Senate against the much more experienced Republican sitting Senator, played by Oldman. Wilde plays Meyers' loving and devoted wife. Sutherland returns as the mysterious caller who hates liars to terrorize Meyers' character's life and threatens to expose his affair with one of his assistants (played by Knightley). Penn will play the police negotiator trying to talk Meyers down from the ledge. Meyers will then take some time to promote the next Bond film when that is released in May and then he will spend the summer on tour in Europe with his band. After that he plans to tackle another fear in the fall of 2013: comedy. "I need to do a comedy, I can't keep avoiding that. To me, that's my last challenge as an actor I haven't tackled yet" he says. Meyers has recently signed on to star in the comedy "Ted" where he will play an immature Boston guy who is friends with a talking stuffed teddy bear and how this effects his professional life and his relationship with his girlfriend. Amy Adams has been cast as his love interest and Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane with write, direct, and co-star in the raunchy rated R comedy. Meyers admits though the biggest fear he will be facing in 2013 is fatherhood. "It will certainly be very new to me. To have someone in my life I'm responsible for. Whose needs are more important than my own. It's obviously a huge huge life changing experience, becoming a parent. But I'm ready for it. I'm ready to have that responsibility. I think I need that right now."



Meyers is quick to mention how he has no upcoming film projects lined up after Truth or Die and Ted wrap filming (other than the two more James Bond films he is contracted to do in 2015 and 2017) and how much he has fallen in love with performing with his band and cannot wait to record more Chants of Reign albums. He mentions their third album will be titled "Ill Escape"(one of the original names they wanted to name the band before they chose Chants of Reign) and that should come out summer 2013. It will be a mostly instrumental album "inspired by the current New York dubtrance scene" and there also early plans for a fourth album in 2014 or 2015 which will be a more "R&B, funk sounding record" in which he hopes his band can collaborate with Drake producer Noah "40" Shebib. "That album is gonna be crazy, we're gonna call it Funky Fresh Flow" he says. Could Meyers pull a Jared Leto and stop acting completely in favor of becoming a full time rock frontman? "I don't know. I love acting. I really do. There's nothing like it. But music touches people in a different way and it is more personal, for me. It's my words, my life. Not some fictional character's life. I still want to do film and be apart of that process. I want to direct another film. You see a lot of actors now from my age group starting to direct now too. Ryan (Gosling), Joseph Gordon-Levitt, they're directing projects I heard. So it is the next evolution I think. More control. Tell the stories you want to tell. It's a director's medium. And to be honest, I started acting because I had so much pain inside of me and acting was the only way I knew how to get it out. But I feel now all that pain is gone and there's nothing left to vent. I don't know what is left in me. Sure I can keep acting. You don't need to be a tortured soul to act or give a good performance. I know I can still do it and a big part of me still wants to, but I am just not sure if I still need to". When asked what DOES he feel the NEED to do, he thinks for a while and replies: "I need to grow. I need to grow into someone complete enough to love something unconditionally whether or not it loves me back. Maybe being a father will help that".

   Maybe music, directing, or becoming a father will finally give Meyers whatever fulfillment and inner peace he feels he is searching for. But the good news is that angry little California boy we first saw kicking a soccer ball in Bend It Like Beckham is demon-free. The bad news is the possibility this newfound happiness could prevent one of the best actors of his generation from doing just what he does best: Act. But who are we to force a once tormented soul to remain that way just for our enjoyment? Meyers is happy with being happy. And we should be happy for him.

Hollywood Reporter Oscar Actor's Roundtable 2012

As usual every year, the Oscar's gathers the actors nominated for the top awards at a roundtable to discuss their craft. This year the roundtable includes Best Actor nominees Daniel Day-Lewis (for Lincoln), Denzel Washington (for Flight), Bradley Cooper (for Silver Linings Playbook), Joaquin Phoenix (for The Master), John Hawkes (for the Sessions), and of course our very own Michael Reese Meyers (for The Devil's Double). Here is the link to the full video of the discussion. Below is just a written transcript of some of Meyer's answers to certain questions:

Q: Have you all met before this?

MRM: Well I've worked with Denzel before, on Pelham 123. I worked with Joaquin three times. twice we acted together. In the Village we played brothers and in Ring of Fire he was Johnny Cash I was Elvis. And he directed me in Brotherly Love. And me and Bradley just did Alien: Genesis together. But I have yet to work with Mr. Day-Lewis or Mr. Hawkes.

Q: So do you all feel the right people belong here or has it become too political, as far as who gets nominated and who doesn't?

MRM: Well I think we all are just here as clappers for when Daniel wins. I mean come on, haha. He pretty much has this in the bag.

Q: Do you feel you need to use darkness or pain as your motivation or is that a cliche?

MRM: Oh no for me it is essential. It was always the fuel, maybe too much so. And that's why I feel like I am moving away from acting and trying to be more like this guy (points to Lewis) over here and just act every once in a while. I mean if you look at my future schedule, I'm slowing it down. I'm contracted to do two more Bond films and I am looking at this comedy Seth McFarlane has offered me which is really unique and that is the one genre I haven't tackled yet, comedy. I need to do that. So I'm interested in that. But I am in such a happy place now, with my band, we're gonna tour Europe next summer with Boomkat, I'm in love, I plan on starting a family next year. My relationship with my mom has come a full 180. We are closer than ever. We talk almost everyday. We laugh, we share things. I'm helping her write her book she's doing. We have made so much progress. Super close now. It's great. I mean, I used to have that itch to act as a means to channel my pain and now that things are going so well, that itch doesn't seem to be there and I don't wanna act just to keep acting. But at the same time I love what I do, I love this business, I love being on set. Olivia Wilde and I just started a production company in New York. She and I both want to direct. I've already directed one indie back in 2010. It came out in 2011. And we will produce pictures out of that company as well, with Truth or Die being the first project out the gate for that. So I am definitely looking at that next phase, that next stage of my career. Because I can't always be the angry brooding metrosexual guy forever. And the chameleon thing, which I really love, can only work for so long. I'm running out of different looks to try. Haha.

Q: So you feel that if you are too happy you lose the urge to act?

MRM: For me, yes. I feel I gravitate toward darker roles because they speak to me. A character who is struggling with something. But when I am in a good place I don't want to spend 3 months on set in a dark frame of mind. I wanna be on the beach in Italy with my girlfriend or performing in front of fans on stage with my band. I want to stay in that happy place I don't want to leave it because I feel it's my job. Acting isn't a job to me. It's something I feel compelled to do. I do a role because it speaks to me. That's why I wanna tackle comedy and try happier roles. But the problem is there aren't that many interesting happy role, haha.

Q: What was one piece of advice someone gave you in your life that steered you toward acting or you feel changed you forever?

MRM: It sounds silly but I guess it wasn't advice but as he (Denzel) said a word of encouragement that steered me toward believing in myself, was in junior high I was goofing off in music class and they heard me sing and the teacher said I should try out for the Lion King musical play we were doing. I never had any interest in acting or singing or being in a play. But I had a bad GPA that year and they said if I participated that my grade would go up so I needed that. So I did it. Afterwards a girl in the hall  who NEVER noticed me before said to me "I saw you in the play over the weekend, you did great. Then I went to class, sat down, and all the girls in the class turned to me and for 5 minutes straight kept raving about how good I was, they didn't know I could sing, blah blah blah. It was life changing. I finally found something I was good at."


Q: What's one thing about yourself you would change?

MRM: Umm, I guess I wish I didn't fall so hard so fast for people I don't know well enough yet. I gotta work on that.

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.

Chants of Reign fan claims Meyers Impregnated Her

Today a woman named Natalia Martinez filed a paternity test to be taken by Michael Reese Meyers, actor and lead singer of band Chants of Reign since she claims to be several weeks pregnant and believes Meyers to be the father. In her statement she says "Meyers is the only man I have been intimate with in several months and doctors have confirmed with me I am indeed pregnant".
