"Michael Fassbender has said that he was happy to take a break from acting.  The actor, who has not filmed a movie since last July, confessed that he needed some time away from the camera to focus on developing his production company.  &amp;quot;It felt good,&amp;quot; Fassbender told Collider of his break.  &amp;quot;I needed to stop,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;I needed to get some perspective.  &amp;quot;I had done six films back-to-back in 20 months, so it was like, &amp;#039;Okay, take a break&amp;#039;, and then the promotion thing kicked in and then I really wanted to make DMC, my production company, really work as opposed to just an idea and you&amp;#039;ve got to put a lot of time into that.&amp;quot; He went on: &amp;quot;So I really did focus energies in that, working with writers, finding the writers, and so now I go back to acting again.&amp;quot;  &amp;gt; Prometheus premiere interviews: Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron Fassbender is scheduled to start work on Twelve Years a Slave in two weeks, his third collaboration with director Steve McQueen after Shame and Hunger.
