Michael Fassbender In Talks For Danny Boyle's Trance

HollywoodReporter says that Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, X-Men First Class, Prometheus) is in talks to play a gang leader in Danny Boyle's art heist dark thriller Trance. The film is a throwback to Boyle's early films Trainspotting and Shallow Grave.

"An assistant at an auction house masterminds the heist and teams up with a gang of thieves, but suffers a blow to the head and wakes up with amnesia. He is the only one who knows where the painting’s location is and after his continued failure to remember, the gang begins to suspect duplicity on his part and hire a female hypnotist to get into his brain."
