Don’t forget — Lee’s new movie, The Fall, directed and written by Tarsem is set to open this Friday. Cinematical has new exclusive clips to this fantasy film, set in South Africa in the 1915.

Tarsem also has an interview with LA Times while Lee Pace is featured in Metromix.

Some excerpts to the interview with Lee:

What drew you to an outside-the-box project like “The Fall”?
It was really complicated to set this meeting up with Tarsem. I was shooting a television show in Toronto called “Wonderfalls” that lasted for two minutes, and I was doing a play in New York. I was back and forth literally every other day, and my agents were like, “this guy Tarsem really, really wants to sit down with you.”

He pitched the whole movie to me, showed me some pictures, talked about how he wanted to work with the little girl, and mentioned that I would be in a wheelchair for two months. It just sounded like such a crazy, big adventure that I was like, “yeah, alright, I’m game. Sounds fun!” I’m really glad I did take that leap of faith with him, because it really has been a big adventure.

Did you ever ask Tarsem why he wanted you for this role?
Well, I don’t understand why, because the only thing he had ever seen me do was “Soldier’s Girl.” Somehow, he saw that and decided that I was a good fit for this! [Laughs] In that meeting, he gave me the pitch, and he was like, “I just wanted to make sure that you had a penis.” I didn’t have to show it to him or anything. He was like, “you got the part!” And that was it.

About Pushing Daisies

As its teasers say, Pushing Daisies is "nothing like you've seen on television". Besides being visually stimulating and audibly captivating, the story behind this whimsical TV series from ABC, is one that seems to jump out pages of a fairy tale. Created by Bryan Fuller, Pushing Daisies is hailed by critics as a commendable risk that may actually pay off. It has romance, tragedy, comedy, mystery and of course, lest we forget, pies…lots and lots of it.
