UPDATED: Added EW's First Look
FIRST STILL Of Robert Pattinson & Guy Pearce In "The Rover"
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Is anyone else super excited for this movie?
Make sure and read the article underneath, some great quotes from David Michod about Rob's character Rey.
From Entertainment Weekly:
Australia was founded as a repository for crooks and criminals — a
wretched hive of scum and villainy, like the British Empire’s own Mos
Eisley. Of course, that was a long time ago and the Australian national
demeanor has since shifted from “kill or be killed” to “live and let
live,” but David Michôd’s gritty 2010 drama Animal Kingdom chronicled some of the country’s more modern criminal descendents. In his upcoming sophomore effort, The Rover, the director takes things even further.
Robert Pattinson plays a denizen of the Outback in the near future,
after a worldwide financial collapse has sent many like him running to
the still viable mines of the Australian desert. “It’s like a new gold
rush,” says Michôd. “Where people from all corners of the world have
come out to the desert to scrape out an existence. Petty criminals and
miscreants and hustlers.” Guy Pearce, who had an uncharacteristically
reserved role in Animal Kingdom, gets to sink his teeth into a
nicely nasty part opposite Pattinson. “The basic story is really quite
elemental,” says Michôd. “You’ve got a really dark, dangerous, murderous
person in Guy’s character, and in Rob’s character you have a quite
troubled and damaged, but beautiful and naïve, soul.”
Of course, just by its setting and basic plot, The Rover is
poised to draw comparisons to one of the antipodean country’s most
memorable cinematic contributions. “You put cars in the desert in
Australia and people are going to think of Mad Max,” says Michôd. “And with all due respect to that film — and I stress that — I think The Rover is going to be way more chillingly authentic and menacing.”
