From Mackay To Munich

Okay okay okay, instead of refreshing Twitter for the 10,000th time today I am gonna try to write a post! Let's see how this goes! Ahem. This is me clearing my throat. Or you know, the throats in my fingers. Because I am typing. (God it's going great already.) George Mackay has had a new film announced! Moving on up from the WWI of his Best-Picture-nom last year 1917 Mackay's now primed to star in the WWII thriller Munich -- and I do hope they change the title because we already have that Munich where Eric Bana cried while orgasming, that's plenty -- for The Crown director Christian Schwochow. They might not change the title though because it's based on a book by bestseller-list-mainstay Robert Harris and they might not want to confuse his fans? 

(thx Mac) Anyway this Munich is about an emergency conference set up in 1938 by the British PM (played by Jeremy Irons) between a British civil servant (Mackay) and a German diplomat (Jannis Niewöhner) who are old friends, seeing if they can avoid The War. (Something tells me it doesn't work!) Even more exciting than those boys are the two female cast-members announced, though -- there's Toni Erdmann legend Sandra Hüller...

... and there's Babylon Berlin actress Liv Lisa Fries, and if you're unaware I am a maaaassive Babylon Berlin fan. She kicks ass. (Gah I hope we get another season soon.) Anyway in summation here are some (occasionally NSFW) photos of actor Jannis Niewöhner, who in case you were unaware you should be rooting for this film to have a gay subplot where Mackay & Niewöhner are actually former lovers who fall back into bed with great sweaty ease, after the jump...
