MOVIE NEWS: Damsel has a US release date and Claire Denis talks about Robert Pattinson

MOVIE NEWS: Damsel has a US release date and Claire Denis talks about Robert Pattinson 

Damsel has a US release date so strap on your cowboy boots and be sure to support! Is that the right mood for us? I don't own cowboy boots. I don't even have a hat. I'll just have to wear jeans and shirt and go see Rob and Buttercup.





Damsel opens June 22nd in US theaters. 

Claire Denis also had a fun anecdote about Rob regarding working with him for High Life.

Excerpt from The Guardian:

The actor she’s enthused about now is Robert Pattinson, who stars in her upcoming High Life, an English-language drama set in space. She didn’t choose Pattinson, she says, although she’s rated him since Twilight; he approached her. “I thought he was too young, too good-looking. But then the film was delayed and he said, ‘You see? I’m getting older.’”

AUSTRALIA: Robert Pattinson's leading role in LIFE is ready for your viewing pleasure!

AUSTRALIA: Robert Pattinson's leading role in LIFE is ready for your viewing pleasure!


LIFE opened in Australia today and hopefully all the ROBsessed Aussies are too busy watching the film over and over again to read this fantastic review from FilmInk (Australia):

As a few recent, highly effective true life movies (My Week With Marilyn, The Queen, Capote) have shown, sometimes the best way to capture a real figure on screen is by honing in on a short, specific period of their life, rather than getting caught up in the tripwires of hitting every significant point in their personal history. Life – the latest film from extraordinary photographer turned equally impressive director, Anton Corbijn (Control, The American, A Most Wanted Man) – prescribes intelligently to this model, taking one brief, essential moment from the all-too-short life of movie icon, James Dean, and investigating it with astute precision. 

Life documents the beginnings of what would become the important friendship of fifties figurehead, James Dean (hot up and comer, Dane DeHaan, makes his all-too-recognisable character a truly mercurial and utterly absorbing creation), and Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson proving, yet again, to all the doubters that he is, indeed, a highly accomplished and charismatic performer), the young photographer from Life Magazine whose stark, beautifully composed black-and-white images of the rebellious actor are among the greatest celebrity portraiture ever committed to film.

Proving yet again, indeed.

ROBsessed Awards - Robert Pattinson's Best Non- Fandom Supporter

ROBsessed Awards - Robert Pattinson's Best Non- Fandom Supporter 

Robert Pattinson has been very fortunate to have had some wonderful support again this year from outside the fandom. We have some of our old regular faces....... and a couple of new ones too. 

Josh Horowitz ~ The reigning champ is back to defend his title. He may not have had any interviews with Rob this year but he made sure Rob was mentioned in interviews with Benedict Cumberbatch, Ashley Tisdale and James Franco



David Cronenberg ~ (Maps To The Stars Director) David is one of Rob's biggest cheerleaders. As his director in "Cosmopolis" and this year in "Maps to the Stars" he has had many good things to say about Rob like, "I really think he's a terrific actor. He's extremely inventive. He surprised me every day on 'Cosmopolis' with the nuances and things that he did which were unexpected".

Click on each pic below to read more



Werner Herzog ~ (Queen Of The Desert Director) Werner was full of praise for Rob this year saying "He has charisma, he is smart, he writes. I hope we will see him one day as a director" & "This is a very intelligent man. Writes well. Knows exactly what he's doing. He also knows that he must be out of this short-lived type of role of Teen Stars."

Click on the pics below to read more



David Michod ~ (The Rover Director) David worked with Rob on The Rover at the beginning of the year and was quick to tell people that Rob was 'really smart, and not the sort of pretty boy I was expecting. As soon as it was time to start testing… he was my first choice, by a long way.'' 

Click on the pics below to read more



Dior ~ Dior and Robert Pattinson seem to have been made for each other. With their Dior Homme campaign it's clear that they have been listening to what Rob fans want. From the Dior Homme video down to the #DiorRob tag on twitter. It's pretty obvious how happy and proud they are to have Robert Pattinson as their front man.  

Click on the pic below for a refresher of the editorial from their Dior Mag 



A24 ~ I think we have all seen how much A24 share our excitement at seeing Robert Pattinson star in The Rover next year. As the US production company for The Rover they have been very vocal in their support of Rob on their social media.

Support Robert Pattinson's new venture and buy Dior Homme fragrance!

Support Robert Pattinson's new venture and buy Dior Homme fragrance!

We have good news! Earlier this week, we spoke to a Dior representative about something that's been on many minds. If we buy Dior Homme fragrance but the DiorRob campaign isn't in the country (US, UK, Canada to name a few), will those sales be attributed to Rob being the new face for Dior Homme fragrance? You know how we do. We love to support Rob and we're all eager to support him in this new and exciting professional venture. So can we do that even when DiorRob is MIA from our malls*, magazines and more?

Short answer. YES!



The Dior representative said that since DiorRob is a global image, they are factoring in global sales regardless of the campaign being absent from some markets. There's still no word on if or when DiorRob will make it to other countries. It's not uncommon for celebrities to have endorsements exclusive to Europe, Asia or the like. We have to wait and see. But for now, you can buy your husband, boyfriend, brother, friend or self, a bottle of any of the four fragrances and you would be supporting DiorRob!

I had a friend purchase Dior Homme Cologne and Dior Homme Intense for me when she was in Paris. I can't find those scents in the states. I love them! The cologne is fresh, clean, citrusy and out-the-shower feel. It's not strong when I sprayed it lightly on the skin to get a sense for it. It's an easy scent for a man (or even woman) to wear.

(Click images to view larger)


Intense is warm, woodsy and even sweet, like burnt butterscotch, when it settles. It makes me want to snuggle by a fire and take long inhales along a man's neck. Intense, right??? *fans self* That one is my current fave. I'm sooooo excited for when Dior does ads geared to promoting specifically Intense. RAWR.

I haven't tested Dior Homme Sport or the signature fragrance being promoted right now, Dior Homme Eau de Toilette. I can find these in my country and I'll check them out soon. Especially the EDT since Rob revealed in Sunday Style that was the scent he was wearing during the press junket in June. Click HERE for a refresher.

Visit DiorHommeParfum.com to read more about the fragrances.

It's great news to know that our purchases will support DiorRob and Dior's explanation of DiorRob being a global image makes complete sense. If you've been following along, you know we've posted a sampling of the campaign around the globe. Click HERE and HERE if you missed our initial posts.

Our readers, Sunny, Viviana, AirTita, and Astrid shared more pictures with us, as well as Flavia who visited the greatest mall on earth - Alto Palermo mall in Buenos Aires. Why is it the greatest mall? Oh because of this...

*At the entrance...


On the escalators...


On the elevators...


Lining the walkways....


THAT MALL IS HEAVEN.

ROBsessed Awards - Robert Pattinson's Best Non-Fandom Supporter

Robert Pattinson is lucky to have had some wonderful support again this year from outside the fandom. A couple make the list for the second year running... and a couple of newbies too.

Josh Horowitz: Josh's coverage of Cosmopolis showed us he's on the Rob train for the long run, MTV First and red carpet interview to name a couple. Pretty sure we can count on Josh for more.
Click the image for some Josh Cosmopolis love



David Cronenberg: As recent as just a couple of days ago we've had so much love and praise of Rob from David. Quite the bromance. Then of course casting Rob in Maps to the Stars says it all.
Click on each image for some Cronenberg support



Cosmo Fanboys Galore: Seriously, there are so many. So many guys shocked by Rob's performance and impressed enough to tweet their approval. Loved seeing their thoughts roll in and we know there will be more next week when Cosmopolis comes out on DVD.



The R Team - Nick, Stephanie, Dean, Sarah and Grace: They've been there from the start, Rob's business family. This video says it all. What family member doesn't love to tease the baby brother?



There they are, your four nominees in this category.

What are the latest things critics have said about Rob's performance and this compelling film?

The overall review wasn't positive but what was positive? Popcorn Junkie's impression of Rob:

There is a distinct whiff of arrogance that surrounds the film and most of it comes from Pattinson’s performance. His character sits on a mobile throne with nothing but venom for the world he subtly controls with wealth and power. It’s an impressive feat for Pattison and his gaunt physique and slick haircut adds to the frame of a nightmarish yuppie – this guy makes Gordon Gekko from Wall Street look like a teddy bear.

Excerpt from The West Australia:

Many critics have criticised Cronenberg for replicating almost scene for scene DeLillo's slender novel, right down to the highly mannered ideas-encrusted dialogue which is delivered without passion or spontaneity. One reviewer even complained the film lacked "heart".  

But this is the very subject of the movie - the replacement of heart and soul and all the human stuff by the brutal logic of "cyber-capitalism", in which the fate of nations is now determined by the movement of numbers.  

None of this quite emerges as forcefully and frighteningly as it does in the book but it's hard to imagine an actor better in the role of Eric than Pattinson, who brings snap and intelligence to DeLillo's death-haunted dialogue (Cronenberg has even suggested Eric is actually dead) at the same time as suggesting the man he once was. 

If you thought his Edward Cullen was a cold bloodsucking parasite wait until you get a load of his Eric Packer.

From Filmosphere giving Cosmopolis 4 out of 5 stars:

Et au delà de seconds rôles assez géniaux, comme des petites parties d’un monde déjà enseveli, tout le film est porté par la révélation d’un Robert Pattinson impérial, qui se révèle capable de soutenir un film aussi fort sur ses jeunes épaules. Il est bluffant, et confirme que certains talents ne peuvent se révéler qu’au contact de grands metteurs en scène.
(And beyond supporting roles pretty awesome, as small parts of a world already buried, while the film is carried by the revelation of an imperial Robert Pattinson, who proved capable of supporting a film as hard on his young shoulders. It is astonishing, and confirmed that some talents can prove that in contact with great directors.)

From House of Paradox:

There are plenty of close-ups of Robert Pattinson and he's in every scene, his character is tough, cold hearted and calculating - kind of a passive aggressive, financial vampire and he plays it extremely well. Pattinson is clearly trying to round out the scripts he chooses and building a nice portfolio of work.

From QuickFlix:

Pattinson, like Jeff Goldblum, and James Woods, and Viggo Mortensen before him, has one of those perfect Cronenbergian faces. It’s as if he’s been moulded – shark-like, from the eyes to the jowls – to become the ultimate receptacle for the movie’s message.

Indiewire named Cosmopolis #1 on their 12 films to see this August list. Also commented that Cosmopolis is "much more thought provoking star-powered cinematic option than almost anything else this summer."

From Shotgun Critic, 4 stars:

As an adaptation of the equally unapproachable novel by Don DeLillo, Cronenberg made a few very wise decisions early on. One, this is Robert Pattinson’s hands-down best role. In the hands of a very capable director and a punishing script, Pattinson turns in a performance that channels a young Robert De Niro, New York twang and all. His performance is so understated and brilliant that, during moments where he breaks through this Wall Street gloss, he comes across as truly unhinged and monstrous. This is a frightening performance in the best ways and points towards a hell of a career ahead for Pattinson.
...
For one of the smartest films I’ve seen in a while, Cosmopolis is also one of the least outwardly enjoyable. That by no means makes it anything less than a great film however. But if you can stomach the loose poetry of the dialogue, heavy use of metaphor and occasionally lax pace, this will leave you thinking about its cultural commentary long after the curtains close.

From The Yorker (UK)

The casting of Pattinson as the quasi-psychopathic playboy may be a surprising move, but he delivers a magnetically credible performance. Packer is a curious creation, a man who views life through a mathematic prism, obsessed with control and perfection, terrified of abnormalities and who insists on having daily health check-ups. It would be easy to interpret him as a symbol of American capitalism, but Pattinson succeeds in bringing out the humanity of his character, particularly in one scene where he is struck with grief for the death of an idol. Samantha Morton, Juliette Binoche, Mathieu Amalric and Paul Giamatti are all also excellent, the latter especially in a nail-bitingly tense stand-off that seems to go on forever.

Excerpt from Next Projection, given the film 92/100:

Where Pattinson may seem an unlikely addition to this elite club, he could scarcely be more suited to the role of Packer. Like Packer, Pattinson is more a name than a recognisable personality, a figure all know but few truly understand. In Pattinson’s every glance, every movement, every smile, there is the sense of a man coming to terms with whom and what he is. Packer’s shifting perspective on himself is far more understated than that of the world’s, and in this the true brilliance of both Pattinson and the film itself come to be revealed.
...
This is Cronenberg returned to what he does best, delivering a film that stands both as a highlight of this year, and of its director’s work to date.

Given an 8/10, The Age (AU) applauds Cosmopolis:

In classic Cronenberg fashion, the film looks and feels absurdly clinical, plus there's a visually marked contrast between the dull sheen of Packer's limousine (essentially, a slow-moving penthouse on wheels) and the anarchic world outside, to which he no longer relates. Interestingly, despite delivering a robust turn as Packer, Pattinson agonised for days over how to turn Cronenberg down for the role. "I spent a week thinking, 'I know it's really good, it's Cronenberg, but you're in every scene.' What if I f--- it up?'' he told me at Cannes, following the film's world premiere there. Cronenberg's sixth sense went further, still: when they were shooting, the Occupy movement was barely in its infancy. Given the increasingly marked social divides, particularly in Europe, the film feels more relevant now than ever. And as a thoughtful essay on a man fighting for meaning within his hollow surrounds, it's riveting, poetic and thoroughly Cronenberg.

Excerpt from Crikey (AU):

The film is destined to be derided and misunderstood, and, deliciously, to thrust stray tweens into an idiot wind of confusion when it is realised that the prime-cut of Robert Pattinson’s surface values can’t possibly appease them. Not this time. Whether Cosmopolis was financed partly because of his involvement, or whether Cronenberg believed he was the best man for the job, or both, few can say. But yes: the Twilight smirk-maker is very good in a role that plays to his strengths

As a whole. Guestlist Network couldn't get with the film, but had this to say:

There is a superb final scene between Pattinson and Paul Giamitti, an artistic and tense tété-a-tété of morals and motivations including a memorable (if ruined by its inclusion in the trailer) bit of self mutilation. If only the rest of the movie were like this, it would certainly benefit. Still, Pattinson gives a terrific turn as the spoiled, empty-hearted but energetic Packer, and it's great seeing him getting his teeth into (ahem) something a bit more worth his time. And Cosmopolis is still an important statement of our times; it's just difficult to understand what that statement is.

Excerpt from Scene 360:

Pattinson has made a very conscious choice to direct his acting career away from the “Twilight” franchise, and squarely in that of renowned directors and more complicated material. He pulls this off to great effect, as the film leaves its leading man nowhere to hide in regards to his acting ability and screen presence.
“Cosmopolis” is not going to be for everyone. It is not a relaxing Friday night movie and it does have a tendency to lag by the beginning of the third act, though it does redeem itself in the final scenes. When the Cronenbergian violence does come, it’s a relief, if not an antidote to all the intricate multi-layered conversations that have preceded it. Love it or hate it, “Cosmopolis” is going to create a reaction and likely a source of many university film studies papers.

Excerpt from The Reel Bits (AU), 3.5 stars:

Robert Pattinson makes a complete break from his fangy persona, in a role that is more likely to repulse his legion of fans than it is to shock them. It is a measured performance, tightly under the rein of Cronenberg, but that is true of the rest of the cast as well. The stilted and existential conversations between Packer and a stream of business associates (including Samantha Morton), lovers (such as Juliette Binoche), wife of convenience (Sarah Gadon) and other professionals is as cold and calculated as his business dealings, at odds with the growing anarchy outside. As something resembling the Occupy movement mounts, and threats are made against Packer’s life, Packer is duly influenced, plunging himself into a personal chaos and spiral of self-destruction. Cosmopolis is a difficult film to penetrate, but this is only partly due to the deliberate way in which it was constructed. Cronenberg treads a fine line between portraying isolation and actually detaching his film completely from audiences, but his curious mixture of sci-fi sheen with real-world problems grounds Cosmopolis in a way that a surface scan may not reveal. The implication is that the corporate disengagement from reality is partly to blame for the financial crisis, but far more fundamental is the wider apathy that has allowed this to happen.

Excerpt from Empire Online (AU):

Frustrations but not catastrophes, praise must go to Pattinson’s terrific performance. A magnetic, mesmerising anti-presence, the perfect redeployment of the pin-up cheekbones of the R-Pattz myth. As the camera gazes deeper into his frozen face, we detect a concerto of tiny twitches, lurking smirks and trickles of sweat — micro-fluctuations in the sanity of a man who has everything.

Gossip Cop clears up rumors of Robert Pattinson appearances for Cosmopolis - Rob rep speaks

Gossip Cop clears up rumors of Robert Pattinson appearances for Cosmopolis - Rob rep speaks



Gossip Cop spoke to a rep from Rob's camp. THANK GOD! There are no cancellations:

Pattinson “just cancelled an upcoming U.S. press appearance to promote his film Cosmopolis,” reports ETOnline. According to the site, the movie star has backed out of the commitment because he “isn’t quite ready to face the media in the wake of girlfriend Kristen Stewart’s cheating scandal.” Interestingly, ETOnline makes no mention of which appearance Pattinson supposedly backed out of or when it was supposed to take place.

But Gossip Cop has learned the claim is a complete FABRICATION.

A rep for the actor tells Gossip Cop, “Cosmopolis is a film that Robert is very proud of and looks forward to supporting.

“No confirmed engagements have been canceled,” says the rep, adding, “Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate.”

This has Nick written all over it, non? Man...my mood swings are giving me whiplash. I've crossed out the previous report from ETonline but BAT4Rob still stands.

According to ETonline & Jarett (senior editor of ET), Rob has cancelled a press appearance for Cosmopolis:

Robert Pattinson pulled out of the Cosmopolis junket on Aug. 11, studio confirms

No mention of the premiere in NYC on Aug. 13th though Rob's appearance has not been mentioned. Also, no mention of a cancellation for the Times Talk event on Aug. 15th. We'll keep you posted.


I'm pretty shattered for him about this since we know how proud of Cosmopolis Rob is. I'm 110% understanding and supportive of his silence and his seculsion. It makes complete sense considering his circumstances. I want him to take as long as he needs to cope with this awful private mess made public.

If you want to support Rob, the BEST way is to go out, and see Cosmopolis! 

Be assertive. Find those listings in your city, the next city. Hell, make a vacay out of it and go with some girlfriends to a neighboring state. Just go.

Buy those tickets even if you can't go. BAT for Rob, remember?? 
Buy A Ticket for Rob even if the theater isn't near you.

We love and support Rob and can't wait to see Cosmopolis.

Keep a look out on the blog. We'll be posting info about the film (reviews, theater info, news) regularly. Also check the Cosmopolis tag on the blog HERE to keep up to date.

When Rob was announced to star as Eric Maddox in Jean-Stephane Sauvaire's film, Mission: Blacklist, many of us rushed to purchase the book written by Maddox. Problem was about a week later, the books dried up and the eBook availability disappeared.

Well it's a problem no longer! The book is available for Kindle readers :)) Hope you enjoy the read. I can definitely see Rob playing this character and can't wait to see it.



No availability yet on iBooks or nook store.

Robert Pattinson is "the perfect choice" for Georges Duroy and he is finally in US theaters this weekend

Robert Pattinson is "the perfect choice" for Georges Duroy and he is finally in US theaters this weekend

UPDATE: Two great reviews came out for the Bel Ami release in the US!

The San Francisco Chronicle reviewed Bel Ami and they gave Rob great compliments!

From this day on, Pattinson cannot be written off as the pale, neurasthenic fellow who would really like to kiss Kristen Stewart in the "Twilight" movies, but he's afraid he'll rip her veins out.
In fact, if "Bel Ami" is any indication, Pattinson should be known as a very good actor.
...
What distinguishes Pattinson in the role is the sense he conveys of someone roiling and churning beneath a surface that is almost, but not quite, calm.
At various times in "Bel Ami," Pattinson registers unexpressed terror, shame, rage and scorn, so that it is impossible not to recognize and even start to feel his tension and to understand the life-and-death consequences behind his every interaction. Young Georges (Pattinson) has nothing and yet finds himself traveling in upper-class Parisian circles - with people who have everything, who know his every move in advance and who would be just as happy to see him land back in the gutter. 
...
It's a pleasure to watch him onscreen and wait for the explosion.

Salon gave Bel Ami the "Pick of the Week" calling it an "enjoyably soapy 19th-century costume drama". An excerpt from their review:

It’s legitimate to dislike this film, of course; one of the things I appreciated about “Bel Ami,” perhaps perversely, is how forcefully it resists easy enjoyment. But I think “Bel Ami” has been criticized in some quarters for being exactly what it sets out to be, a trashy, high-culture morality tale with an unpleasant hero and a bleak view of human relations. Pattinson plays Georges throughout as an unsophisticated country boy whose desires and appetites are almost animalistic. He can be a friendly, loyal dog or a scheming, hungry wolf, but the world of high-society Paris rapidly educates him about which of those personas is more conducive to advancement.

The time has arrived, USA. Bel Ami is finally showing in theaters. Near you? Well that's a different story but we'll get there in a moment. I'm sure many of you have already seen the film if you live in certain countries and many of you have seen the film on VOD when it was released May 4th in the US. However, we need to give Rob support in the theaters. The release is limited so if the theaters are near you, make an outing of it and enjoy DuRob on the big screen. My viewings will take place Sunday and I can't wait to see him the way I should have always seen him. LARGE!

Click HERE to visit MovieTickets and search for a theater near you. The release is limited so you still might have a hard time finding the film locally. If it is local, GO SUPPORT ROB! Magnolia Pictures has theaters and dates on their site as well but not all theaters.

Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis hits US theaters August 17th - LA and NYC first

Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis hits US theaters August 17th - LA and NYC first



Indiewire broke the news and we finally have a release date for Cosmopolis in the states:

Entertainment One Films US has set a date for David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis." On August 17th, the film will open in New York and Los Angeles, expanding into additional markets soon after.
Based on the novel by Don DeLillo, the film stars Robert Pattinson as a 28-year old financial whiz kid who heads out in his tricked-out stretch limo to get a haircut from his father’s old barber. Along the way, he's joined by a cast including Juliette Binoche, Sarah Gadon, Mathieu Amalric, Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, Samantha Morton and Paul Giamatti.

...

Entertainment One is releasing the film in the US well after it does so in Canada and the UK, where release dates are set for June 8th and June 15th, respectively.

Canada and UK! Make sure you see the film this weekend and next! Support Rob :)

Robert Pattinson jokes about setting up a PayPal account just to work with David Cronenberg again

Robert Pattinson jokes about setting up a PayPal account just to work with David Cronenberg again



NOW Toronto got a chance to sit down with Rob and David during Cosmopolis promo in Canada. Of course there was insight and hilarity. :)

Robert Pattinson wasn’t expecting to star in Cosmopolis. In point of fact, he didn’t think a director like David Cronenberg would even consider him for the project.

“I never really took myself seriously as an actor before,” he says, barely awake the morning after the movie’s gala Toronto premiere. “And [then] you get cast in a movie like this, and it gets to Cannes and it’s not a total disaster, and I haven’t brought down David’s entire career…”

Cronenberg’s eyes crinkle. “We’ll see,” the director says. “That’s still in the future.” (Tink: These two need to go on the road...oh wait...)


On the verge of burning out after shooting the two-part Twilight finale, Breaking Dawn, Pattinson had been thinking seriously about pulling back from movies.

“I was fully intending on hiding for a couple of years,” Pattinson says. (Tink: *wide eyed* That's the scariest thing I've ever read.) 

“I only wanted to do small parts. The time is gone – for me, especially – when you could learn on the job. I mean, even the idea of going to a repertory company or something – everybody’s going to be filming it on their phone, and it’s exactly the same thing in movies pretty much. So I wanted to try to do small parts in movies I thought I could learn something from. But then this came up.” (Tink: So basically we have David Cronenberg to thank for preventing a devastating, indefinite drought.)

“This” was the role of Eric Packer, a billionaire financial wizard who experiences a professional and personal collapse over one very long car ride across Manhattan in Cronenberg’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s allegorical novel. The way Cronenberg structured the movie – shooting in sequence, often sealing Pattinson and his co-stars into a limousine and directing them remotely – pushed Pattinson to a kind of creative epiphany.

“It takes away a lot of the problems of self-consciousness,” he says. “I did a movie where a lot of it was underwater” (that’d be Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, which put him on the map as doomed golden boy Cedric Diggory), “and it kind of felt a little bit like that. You feel like you have very little to prove when you’re in such a tiny space. There’s very little of the outside world coming in, so it’s pretty simple.”

Cronenberg so enjoyed putting Pattinson through Packer’s paces that he’s eager to repeat the experience, possibly with another member of his repertory company.

“You meet people that you work with and you feel you’d really like to work with them again,” he says. “I felt that way about Rob, and I felt that way, obviously, about Viggo [Mortensen]. And then I started to think, ‘Wow, Rob and Viggo in the same movie would be terrific,’ because I know they’d get along, but I also think creatively, onscreen, it’d be fantastic. But I don’t have a project, exactly; we have some possibilities. So we’re talking about it. It’s possible it’ll never happen, because it’s just so hard to get things made, really – especially anything interesting. That’s sort of where I am, making movies that are hard to get made.” (Tink: GAH. This really needs to happen. Fingers crossed!)

In all seriousness, though, the two do expect to collaborate on another picture.

“We feel that fate will bring us together again,” says Cronenberg.

“I’m setting up a PayPal account,” Pattinson laughs.

“Yes, that’s right,” Cronenberg says. “We’re crowdsourcing. Please, if you’ve got any money on you right now, just put it on the table.” (Tink: They're joking but they should do this. Can you imagine? Rob sets up a PayPal account and wow. Watch the fandom money flow in. I know I'd finance anything for Rob. I'll sell the farm and my kidney. Anything for Rob. *wink*)

Robert Pattinson confirmed no-show for MTV Movie Awards + Wyck Godfrey on Breaking Dawn Part 2: "Edward becoming the patriarch"

We talked about it last night but it's been confirmed. From E!/Marc Malkin:

confirmed: #RobertPattinson's rep just confirmed to me that he will NOT be at MTV Movie Awards because he'll be out promoting #Cosmopolis.

I'm fine with this. Breaks tradition but where Rob goes, we go. And he ain't going to the MTV Movie Awards. LOL

MTV sat down with Twilight Saga producer, Wyck Godfrey, and talked about Breaking Dawn Part 2. "The last movie is all about closure..." "Edward becoming the patriarch..." Awwwww :')

With MTV changing their voting and nomination system, it seems they're jump starting the end of an era for our fandom.



Last year was essentially the Rob Movie Awards but this year it's looking like a Blink and You'll Miss Him Award Show.



"What? You mean there are non-Rob films?" asks the fangirl.
"Yes", says MTV.
"What ARE these films?" asks the fangirl. "Are they even called 'films'???"
"Yes," says MTV. "And we need you to step aside and let them win because it's all about the Benjamins, baby."



That's right, with such films like The Hunger Games and Bridesmaids leading with 8 nominations each and Harry Potter with 6 nominations, former MTV champ, The Twilight Saga, has collected 2 nominations:

• Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for Best Kiss
• Breaking Dawn Part 1 for Best Movie

Anything else? Best performances? For anybody in Twilight? Best Cast nomination? Fight? Anything?

Nope.

It's clear what MTV has done...



Cool, MTV, cool. Onwards and upwards! Sweet man is goin' to Cannes this month with a BFD film! Plus the US of A will FINALLY meet DuRob THIS WEEK!!!



That's right, Robward! We're gonna shake it off and support Rob's two nominations because he's our superstar! We always support him. MTV on the other hand can go to hell for their fandom face slap.

Did someone say they wanted a quick refresher?
