One more time with feeling for the Fourth Beastie Boy:

You can get more of Frank in the film Frank, starring Michael Fassbender. The film, written by Jon Ronson and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy screenwriter Peter Straughan will also star Domhnall Gleeson as a wannabe musician, Jon, who joins Frank’s band.

I loved Frank. Ronson and Fassbender will make it unmissable.

Sievey died of cancer in 2010 aged 54.
