Movie News: Robert Pattinson starts Idol's Eye in Toronto week of Oct. 20th + Maps To The Stars get US release date



The Film Stage talked to director, Olivier Assayas, at the New York Film Festival and he revealed that Idol's Eye is good to go the week of Oct. 20th.



We can't wait for WorkingRob to come back! He's had a break since finishing Life in March and then PromoRob got busy with The Rover and Maps To The Stars. Rob is really excited about the "very very cool" Idol's Eye and so are we!

Box Office Mojo also reported the annoying news that Maps To The Stars won't be for US eyes until February 27th.


I mused about this over on our film site for MTTS. Click HERE if you want to muse too but the long story short is I think MTTS is getting the shaft in the US because of the subject matter.

Robert Pattinson's "Water For Elephants" & "Breaking Dawn" Named On Box Office Mojo's 2011 Preview

Box Office Mojo lists "Water for Elephants" on their 2011 Preview: Ten Miscellaneous Contenders and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" on their 2011 Preview: Sequels - Now, More Than Ever.
See what they have to say about them below.

While sequels, remakes, comic book adaptations and animated movies will inevitably dominate 2011's box office, there will still be a few hits that don't fall in to any of these categories. In 2009, there was Avatar, The Hangover and The Blind Side, and in 2010 there was Inception. Here's a look at ten of the contenders, including three high-profile book adaptations, a few alien invasion movies, a potential Twilight successor or two and some wholly original wild cards.




Water for Elephants (April 22): It's easy to dismiss Robert Pattinson as just part of the Twilight craze thanks to the poor box office performance of Remember Me last March. However, his next movie Water for Elephants is poised to be much more successful: it's helmed by blockbuster director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend), has interesting co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz and is based on a reportedly popular book.

Breaking Dawn (Part One) (Nov. 18) follows a trilogy, but one that ended on a high note: with $300.5 million, third entry Eclipse pulled off the rare feat of out-grossing the second entry New Moon. Breaking Dawn returns to the pre-Thanksgiving slot of the first Twilight and New Moon (and formerly Harry Potter), but will have the longest wait yet (17 months). Add in a reportedly mixed fan reaction to the novel and how being broken in two didn't help Deathly Hallows Part 1, and it wouldn't be surprising if interest ebbs for Breaking Dawn.
