The Robert Pattinson Book Club: Rob's Reading List Finds A Home On The Blog

The Robert Pattinson Book Club: Rob's Reading List Finds A Home On The Blog

UPDATE: 2/28/13 - added 3 titles up top and another author. Some fantasy reading that Rob did when he was younger. Any of you have some young boys? Check out what Rob inadvertently recommends ;) These titles will also be added to our side bar widget for the book club.

Rob loves to read. We love Rob. Let's love what Rob reads.


(Before you ask...yes the video cuts off right there. That's the editing of Harpo Productions *bitchface*)

The Oprah Show is gone and I sometimes wish Rob took her place. I could see him screaming at the audience like Oprah used to do...



Ok, she didn't scream like that but this is The Robprah Show. I want to know what shampoo he uses (even if it were an old hotel brand) or what kind of boxers he likes (oh we know that already) or his favorite restaurants (he'd hate it if we knew this) or what books he reads...

Oh wait! Rob DOES tell us that sometimes! We like knowing some of Rob's favorite things and through the years, he's shared quite a bit regarding his reading list. Obviously he's read loads of things but I gathered a compilation of books he's mentioned in public over the past 3+ years.

Robert Pattinson adds another title to his Book Club (that we made up) + another film in the works is revealed!

Robert Pattinson adds another title to his Book Club (that we made up) + another film in the works is revealed!

Rob is on fire with new projects! Can't wait for one of them to start rolling. In the meantime, we have the name of not only another project but also a book Rob has read - The Professionals. Could this be the 6th unnamed project from Rob?

Twilight Saga producer, Wyck Godfrey, talks to MTV:

Get More: 2012 Movie Awards, New Movies

Here's the article with the video:

When MTV News caught up with "Twilight" producer Wyck Godfrey recently to discuss Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's chances of another Best Kiss win at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 3), he revealed that he and Pattinson might be cooking up some post-"Breaking Dawn - Part 2" work plans, in the form of a big-screen adaptation of a crime thriller.

"There's a book called "The Professionals," which is a new crime thriller that Rob has read and really likes," Godfrey said of Owen Laukkanen's well-received debut novel. "We're just starting to look at a writer [to adapt it]. It's kind of a 'Bonnie and Clyde' for today, and he would be fantastic in the role. It's in the early days; we'll see."

A modern-day version of "Bonnie and Clyde" sounds gritty and violent no matter which way you look at it. We asked Godfrey if he sees this potential big-screen crime thriller as a PG-13- or R-rated film for Pattinson.

"Possibly R," he said. "[Rob's] an adult now."

YES! Rated R Rob....we are ALL about that. We'll add the book to THIS LIST as well as our side bar :) Thanks for the reading material, Rob!

Robert Pattinson's New Film Role Announced! 'Mission: Blacklist'

Robert Pattinson's New Film Role Announced! 'Mission: Blacklist'



WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!



From Deadline:

LOS ANGELES, CA – May 2, 2012 – Robert Pattinson has come on board to star in the upcoming film “Mission: Blacklist” with Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire committed to direct. The screenplay was adapted by “Band of Brothers” writer and producer Erik Jendresen from the Harper Collins novel Mission: Black List #1 written by military interrogator Eric Maddox with Davin Seay. Ross M. Dinerstein, Managing Partner of Preferred Content, is producing alongside Jendresen and Kevin Waller.

Embankment Films, the international sales and distribution company recently launched by international sales veterans Tim Haslam and Hugo Grumbar will begin selling the film at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.

”Mission: Blacklist” is a psychological thriller that details the true, inside story of the search for Saddam Hussein and the interrogator, Eric Maddox, who spearheaded his capture.

“This movie is a gripping, edge of your seat thriller,” says Dinerstein. “I have been inspired by Robert and Jean-Stéphane’s dedication to tell this story in the most authentic way possible, and I’m thrilled to add Hugo and Tim to our team.”

Pattinson can next be seen in David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis,” which is premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Sauvaire’s last film, “Johnny Mad Dog,” premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Prize of Hope.

WME represents Pattinson, Jendresen, and Sauvaire. Pattinson is managed by 3 Arts
Entertainment and represented by the Curtis Brown Group in the UK. Sauvaire is managed by Anonymous Content.

The deal was brokered by WME Global’s Graham Taylor and Deborah McIntosh and Preferred Content’s Kevin Iwashina and Christine D’Souza. WME Global and Preferred Content will be corepresenting the North American rights.

I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!

Click HERE to visit an informative website about the story and HERE to learn more about Eric:

Upon graduating from the University of Oklahoma in May 1994, Eric Maddox joined the U.S. Army as an infantry paratrooper for the 82nd Airborne Division.  After three years as a Ranger qualified infantryman, Mr. Maddox reenlisted as a Chinese Mandarin linguist interrogator.  Since 9/11, Mr. Maddox has conducted over 2,000 interrogations while deploying six times in support of the global war on terrorism to include multiple tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe.  In 2003, while assigned to a special operations task force in Tikrit, Mr. Maddox conducted over 300 interrogations and collected the intelligence which directly led to the capture of Saddam Hussein.  As a result, Mr. Maddox was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Director’s Award and the National Intelligence Medal of Achievement.  Now as a civilian with the Department of Defense, Mr. Maddox continues to fight the global war on terrorism.

Here's a video of Eric Maddox talking about his mission. You can get a sense of the man Rob will be playing.
