Q: "So what next for you after this?"
MRM: "Well I'm gonna be a busy man. After this I'm headed straight back to America to go on tour with my band Chants of Reign. We will be touring the whole U.S. this summer with our artists Hyper Crush and Lordess and this great British group Foster the People. Playing all our new songs from Ill Escape and the remix album 2.0 Free Refill. It was the biggest album last year when it came out but we only toured the UK so now we're bringing it to the states. It's gonna be insane. After that I'm directing my next movie. It's been a long time in the making but I'm finally ready to do it. I wrote it myself. It's a romantic comedy called NMMNG starring Myles Teller and Leonardo DiCaprio. I convinced Leo to do it for pennies because he's my friend and we're only gonna need him for like 2 days, so it's not too much of his time. It's really Miles' story. He plays an almost 30 (year old) virgin whose sick of being told he's too nice and being put in the friend zone and so Leo teaches him how to be an asshole but that only gets him laid but turns off the girl of his dreams, played by Amanda Seyfried. So he finds out about this pick up artist school in England run by this super hot British model chick named Kesia Nobel, who is a real person by the way, I met her and everything, she's gonna be played by Gemma Arterton, and Kes along with her dating expert coaches teach Myles and all the other students all the things they need to do know to be more confident and what to do and not do on dates and how to pick up women and all this stuff alot of guys today just have no clue about. I've done so much research on this topic that it's driving me mad and I feel this film will really help so many people out there in the world who are struggling with how to be more confident with women. I think it's gonna be hilarious and huge. A real game changer. Aubrey Plaza may be in it too. The cast is gonna be insane. Can't wait for the world to see it."
Q: "Is there a release date?"
MRM: "We're hoping to start shooting in August in L.A. and if everything goes according to plan we can wrap and edit it in time for a September 2015 release. Don't hold me to that, but that's the plan."
Q: "When does Bond start shooting?"
MRM: "January. That's gonna be a four month shoot. Comes out next November. So excited to work with Joe Wright. He's one of my favorite filmmakers. He was born to do a Bond film. Just wish Keira was in it! She and Joe are practically attached at the hip, haha! The script is really clever. I know the title too. Can't reveal it yet but as the best Bond title's are, it's a great play on words."
Q: "Are you signed on to do the Gambit role or is that just a rumor?"
MRM: "No it's true. I've been wanting to play him forever. I even dressed up as him during the Halloween episode of The Best Tears if you remember, haha. Any one who knows me, who really knows me, knows the X-Men is my shit, grew up on it, and Gambit was always my favorite character, so to get to play him would be an honor and big thanks to Mrs. Donner for giving me the opportunity to join that great franchise and great family they have over there. I'm exciting to kill it man. I can't wait to do my thing. And we're talking to some pretty interesting directors to do the first one, the solo one. One of them is Darren (Aronofsky). I'm trying to convince him to come back to the X-Men world. I know he almost did the last Wolverine movie, so, we'll see."
Q: "Is it true you are also going to be in the "Man In The Wilderness" remake?
MRM: "Yes. Yes super excited for that. Alfonso Cuaron is directing. We changed the title though. The movie's gonna be called "Lost In The Wilderness" now. I think it's an awesome story. I never heard of the film before. It's kind of a western mixed with a survival story. Like Cast Away meets The Wild Bunch. It's about an 1820's group of hunters who get in danger and leave my character behind after he gets mauled by a bear and they take off with the money and leave me for dead but I'm not. I survive and I have to go after them. And one of my heroes Daniel Day Lewis is in talks to play the evil ring leader guy in the crew whose idea it is to leave me behind. So he's really the one I'm after. It's gonna be sick. Alfonso told me he's been wanting to do the film for years but no one would give him the money. He doesn't exactly make films that make a lot of box office so it's hard for him to get that green light but he just did Dallas Buyer's Club which killed at the Oscars and awards season so now he gets to do what he wants so I'm glad he came to me and said, 'Mike, I want you to do it!'. But yeah, can't wait to sink my teeth into that one, it may be my meatiest role yet. It's been a while since I poured my raw emotions into something this deep so it's time to go back to the old me. That '06 Mike Reese, haha. Mike still got some '06 in him, haha, like Drake would say. But yea it's gonna be dope."
