Robert Pattinson has two films heading to the 2014 Cannes Market: The Lost City of Z and The Childhood of a Leader

In addition to Rob's highly anticipated films, The Rover and Maps To The Stars, being officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival, two other Rob films will be seeing some action in the south of France.

Films will be showcased in various ways at the market to seek funds, distributors, etc. Production for both films is currently this summer but we'll let you know when things are more concrete.

This chilling fable about the rise of fascism in the 20th Century tells the story of a young American boy living in France in 1918 whose father is working for the US government on the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. What he witnesses helps to mold his beliefs – and we witness the birth of a terrifying ego. Loosely inspired by the early childhood experiences of many of the great dictators of the 20th century and infused with the same sense of dread as The Others and The Omen, (The) Childhood Of a Leader is an ominous portrait of emerging evil.
Production: Country(ies) : FRANCE, UNITED KINGDOM

In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world's largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humans. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions inspired Conan Doyle's The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions round the globe, Fawcett embarked with his son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization--which he dubbed Z--existed. Then his expedition vanished.

Robert Pattinson's Los Feliz home sold to Emmy Award winner, Jim Parsons

Robert Pattinson's Los Feliz home sold to Emmy Award winner, Jim Parsons

Rob's spanish style Los Feliz home closed sale the other day to The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons. Several outlets reported but I first saw it this morning in the LA Times. Last time we posted about Rob's home was for the star-studded birthday bash he hosted for his friend Nick Jarecki. Click HERE for a refresher. If you want to see more pictures of the home-previously-occupied-by-a-GOD, click the LA Times link.

From the LA Times:

Robert Pattinson has found a warm body and it’s ... Jim Parsons? Yep. The “Twilight” film series vampire has sold his house in Los Feliz for $6.375 million to the star of “The Big Bang Theory.”
The 1922 Spanish Colonial-style house has a formal entry, a library/study, a den, three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and 4,026 square feet of space in two stories. Antiqued tile and stone, hand-carved wood and stenciled ceilings maintain the period vibe.
The 1.5-acre terraced property, enclosed by walls on a gentle hillside, features a lagoon-style swimming pool, waterfalls and fountains. There are views of the cityscape.
Pattinson, 27, starred the 2012 films in "Cosmopolis" and "Bel Ami." He will be in the upcoming films “Maps to the Stars” and “The Rover.”
Parsons, 40, has won three Emmys and a Golden Globe award for his work on the sitcom, which premiered in 2007.
The home was purchased by Pattinson in 2011 for $6.25 million, according to Trulia and Redfin, which both spotted the closing. A previous owner was Lakers great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
David Gray of Partners Trust Beverly Hills was the listing agent. Ronald Shore of Keller Williams represented Parsons.

Google translation of Le Monde improved by Pattinson Art Work:

    A body floating in the turquoise water of a pool, the face of a young man whose features are still teenagers. A raw, intimate light that stirs the sensuality of the flesh. It is Nan Goldin. And if it was not for the exceptional celebrity of the model, nothing in this picture - or in the other pictures that composed the series from which it is extracted - would not denote with the previous work of the American photographer. However, Robert Pattinson, the model we are talking about, is not really part of the elective family of Nan Goldin.

    Neither clueless nor underground, the hero of Twilight had never met the artist before this project orchestrated by Dior, of which he is the new face for the Dior Homme fragrance. And without doubt, the photographer, supporter of Antonioni's films and Fassbinder, had never heard of him. But the alchemy worked: "I haven't seen his vampire movies, because it's not my style, says Nan Goldin with her hoarse timbre. What interests me about him is his person. Robert is a lovely boy, so sweet, he loves playing guitar. Music is his natural element, probably more than cinema." With this series, the photographer wanted to show the grace of a young man."
One of the starting points was the portrait of the artist painter Paul Cadmus by Luigi Lucioni [1928] exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum. Same brown hair, same blue eyes, Robert has something of this boy." (Photo at the left) Hundreds of fans were waiting around places of the shooting in New York, the photographer didn't remember this: "I didn't see anyone, but I think I heard about it ."

    "WHAT SHE GIVES TO SEE ABOUT ROBERT PATTINSON is not his bulky celebrity - he spent most of his life trying to hide - nor his glamor image of the hero of a people culture of which he is totally foreign. Nan Goldin took in the actor what she has always highlighted in his models: the youth, the sexual body and the expression of an individual destiny.

    "For the first time, I looked back, I looked back into my archives, which is something I never do because I don't want to repeat myself, or plagiarize myself. And I found in The Ballad of Sexual Dependency [her most famous work, a slideshow of 800 photos between autobiography and documentary, shown for the first time in 1987 at the Rencontres d'Arles] an image that I wanted to draw my inspiration from: French Chris on the Convertible [1979] (Photo above at the right). I wanted to find the same virginity, this same grace." So, for this command, Nan Goldin - whose last exhibition scopophilia, was in 2011 - is back to work. "As did Diane Arbus before me - be careful, don't say that I compare myself to her - I would like to make a book of my fashion photos, these images have long been despised by museums." In her London studio, the artist completes a box. A mystery object that contains the series "Robert Pattinson" edited by Dior, in limited edition and that will be sold in Art places in late November. "I'm glad about this project, says Nan Goldin in a wearily way. So many things have happened since this morning. It is 07:00 PM and I still didn't had my breakfast ... "

Tink: Ooooooooooo.....we'll need to keep a look out for this "Robert Pattinson" from Dior.
