Robert Pattinson's 'Maps to the Stars' Makes Hitfix's 25 Most Anticipated Prestige Films of 2014 List

Robert Pattinson's 'Maps to the Stars' Makes Hitfix's 25 Most Anticipated Prestige Films of 2014 List

Maps to the Stars is on Hitfix's 25 Most Anticipated Prestige Films of 2014 and they also included this look at Jerome from the movie.



Here's what Guy Lodge (from Hitfix) had to say about it:

"Maps to the Stars"

Director: David Cronenberg Cast: Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Carrie Fisher, Olivia Williams

Expected debut: Cannes

Why: David Cronenberg is one of my favorite working filmmakers, so a new film of his is not never not going to be on a list like this for me. But I don't mind admitting that he's tested my patience of late: "A Dangerous Method" was elegant but insufficiently dangerous, while "Cosmopolis,' though well suited to his kinky side, was too bound to its source novel to soar. Will a Hollywood satire bring back his bite? The premise sounds promisingly silly. Cusack's a psychotherapist and parent of a drug-addicted child star. Wasikowska is his pyromaniac daughter, who befriends Pattinson's limo driver and wannabe actor. Moore is a star remaking one of her mother's films as she's literally haunted by the old woman, and so on and so forth. This could all go way out of control, but that's kind of what we want, right?

HitFix labels Rob a WINNER! Robert Pattinson is "smartly focusing on his prestige credentials"

Hitfix labels Rob a WINNER! Robert Pattinson is "smartly focusing on his prestige credentials"




HitFix recently profiled Rob in their article, Will these artists and actors still be big stars in 5 years time, and proclaimed, "Drop the mic, Rob. You win." Cick HERE to read our post on the article.

Hitfix also labeled Rob a WINNER in a retrospect of the Twilight cast:

Best known for: "Twilight" saga
Twilight

Character: Edward Cullen

Non-Twilight highlight: "Cosmopolis"

Why: It's been rocky at the box office for Pattinson since he first broke through with the first "Twilight," but he does have the hit drama "Water for Elephants" to his credit. He's smartly focusing on his prestige credentials by reuniting with David Cronenberg on "Maps to the Stars" and is expected to appear in James Gray's "The Lost City of Z" opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. At 27 he has more than enough time to return to Hollywood studio flicks, when he's good and ready.

"Drop the mic, Rob. You win." ~ Hitfix Talk Robert Pattinson

Hitfix did a “Will these artists and actors still be big stars in 5 years time” article and Rob was included on their list of people.

Here's what they had to say about him:

Robert Pattinson
Where They Are Now: Working hard and loving life, evidently. David Cronenberg has apparently adopted Pattinson, and if they end up with a DiCaprio/Scorsese relationship for a few years, giving one of the best filmmakers alive a commercial shot in the arm, that would be fine with me. James Gray, David Michod, and no less than Werner Herzog are all set to work with him as well, and he's playing T.E. Lawrence. Drop the mic, Rob. You win.

Where They May Be In 5 Years: Ultimately, he's got to do good work in these films, but he's got a huge line-up coming, and he seems to understand how fleeting stardom is. Unlike his "Twilight" co-star, he's never acted like the spotlight is a burden or a horror, but rather a temporary moment due to the material. By all accounts, he is a real collaborator, someone who wants to work with strong filmmakers and strong co-stars, and as long as he keeps that up, he's in this for the long haul.
