Michael had already mentioned it briefly on Twitter, but now his attendance at the BAFTA Cymru Awards 2009 has been confirmed: ‘Bringing a touch of Hollywood style to proceedings will be two of our finest actors – Michael Sheen and Matthew Rhys’, says WalesOnline.
The Ceremony will take place next Sunday 17 May, 2009 in the Wales Millennium Centre in the heart of Cardiff Bay.
Photo flashback! A few pictures of Michael with Helen Mirren at the Venice Film Festival (2006) have been added to the Gallery… Thanks to Kirsty for sharing these.
A new project has been added to Michael’s IMDb profile: ‘Tinker Bell: A Midsummer Storm’. It is part of an entire series of 4 direct-to-DVD animated movies focused on Peter Pan’s fairy companion Tinker Bell.
In ‘A Midsummer Storm’, Tinker Bell must team up with a rival fairy to keep their existence a secret from humans. Michael will be doing the voice of Dr. Griffiths. Other cast members include Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy Liu and Mae Whitman. The DVD is scheduled to be released in 2010.

The Frost/Nixon DVD will be released in the UK on May 18. For this occasion, FutureMovies interviewed Michael about playing David Frost…
Q: Before getting involved in Frost/Nixon, what had your view been of Richard Nixon?
MS: I suppose I got most of my information about Watergate from the film, All The President’s Men. Having grown up a Brit and not being in the American culture it wasn’t something that spent a huge amount of time occupying me. But I did love the film, All The President’s Men, so that is where I got most of my information from.
A “new” Lucian poster has been added to the Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans section in our Gallery. Click on the thumbnail below to view it in bigger size… By the way, don’t forget to pick up your copy of the DVD. It was released in the US yesterday and will be out in the UK on the 18th.

Scans of ‘Scenes Of Movies Not Yet Made’ have been added to the Gallery. This was a fabulous ten-page photo spread with Michael in the December issue of Esquire.
‘New Moon’ screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg spent some time on the set in Vancouver and posted about it on her Facebook…
“Chris Weitz is the zen ringmaster doing a fantastic job. The Volturi look amaaaazing. Michael Sheen embodies Aro so completely, elevating the role to a whole new level. Dakota as Jane knocks me out. Rob and Kristen are gorgeous of course and and and… I probably shouldn’t gush so much, no one will believe that everything is perfect but it is!”
