Brace yourselves. Is Robert Pattinson reteaming with David Michôd (The Rover), Joel Edgerton (Life) and Brad Pitt (The Lost City of Z) for a new movie? Production would start in June!

Brace yourselves. Is Robert Pattinson reteaming with David Michôd (The Rover), Joel Edgerton (Life) and Brad Pitt (The Lost City of Z) for a new movie? Production would start in June!

The main industry trades (Variety, Deadline, The Wrap) haven't mentioned Rob's involvement yet but IMDbPro has included Rob in a new project:



The King would have Rob rejoining his The Rover writer/director, David Michôd, and Life costar, Joel Edgerton, if IMDb proves to be correct. Rob also worked with Brad Pitt who co-produced The Lost City of Z. Brad recently worked with David in War Machine available on Netflix.

Little White Lies posted about The King, which will star Oscar nominated, Timothy Chalmet (Call Me By Your Name), but they might have gotten their info from IMDbPro as well.

From LWL:

Fresh from his breakout roles in Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name and Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, Timothée Chalamet is reportedly in line to play King Henry V in a new Netflix release from Animal Kingdom and The Rover director David 

Michôd...According to Deadline Chalamet is set to appear in The King as the eponymous English monarch, who famously led his army to victory at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 during the Hundred Years’ War with France. He died aged 36, leaving the throne to his infant son. 

Michôd’s previous feature, the Brad Pitt-fronted military satire War Machine, arrived on Netflix last year to little fanfare. The Australian filmmaker has teamed up with regular collaborator and compatriot Joel Edgerton to pen the script for The King, and with Chalamet joining Robert Pattinson in the principle cast, we’re bracing ourselves for something big.

Oh I would definitely be bracing.

Excerpted details from Deadline (does not include mention of Rob):

Timothee Chalamet is firming his first starring role since being Oscar nominated for his breakout turn in Call Me By Your Name. Chalamet will star as the title character in The King, a Plan B-produced drama helmed by David Michôd. Production will start in June.  

Joel Edgerton and Michôd wrote the script. Chalamet will play the young Henry V. After his brother is killed in battle before his coronation, a young king is coronated in the late 1300s. The reluctant ruler wears the crown at a time when England was near a war with France, and the empire is teetering. He rises to the occasion, admirably.  

Plan B’s Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner will produce along with Edgerton and Michôd. Liz Watts, who produced the Michôd-directed Animal Kingdom and The Rover, are also producing. Michôd made his most recent film with Plan B and Netflix, the Brad Pitt-starrer War Machine. 

Fingers crossed, guys! I wouldn't mind seeing this reunion at all. ;)

A24 includes Robert Pattinson and The Rover on their "For Your Consideration" awards website

A24 includes Robert Pattinson and The Rover on their "For Your Consideration" awards website

A24, the US distributor behind The Rover, has a website dedicated to their award-worthy films.
The Rover is there along with Under The Skin, Locke, Obvious Child, Enemy and A Most Violent Year.



When you click the poster for The Rover, you get to see their "Consider" page and you know who's on it. ;)





Yes! It's great. But.....well it's not exactly a campaign for the film to have it on the website. Only A Most Violent Year has the "Screenings" page, listing multiple screenings happening in NYC and LA. That's typical of an active campaign for awards. Screenings, ads, schmoozing with voters, etc. None of that is happening for The Rover. So this is nice to see but that's all it is at this point.



I pissed in the party punch, didn't I. We can go back to dancing groot because Rob really was one of the best supporting actors this year and it's cool to see him listed on the distributor's site.

Long shot but not forgotten! I love this because my expectations are so low. We know A24 isn't launching a campaign for The Rover so critics that remember Rob's performance are pretty special to me. Plus, I like Anne Thompson's blog.

This is just a quick excerpt from the start of the article and then the screen cap of Rob's inclusion. Visit the post if you want to read about other films.

From Indiewire/Thompson on Hollywood:

Post-"Interstellar," we update the state of the Oscar race for 2015
Going into the season, only a handful of pre-fall movies have Oscar potential; their handlers will rely on critics and guild groups to keep them in the conversation over the long haul....

Here's hoping Rob is kept in the conversation!

Thanks Flavia!

Robert Pattinson and Unbound Captives - Still Linked?

Word is Robert Pattinson is still linked to the project Unbound Captives as Tink posted a few days ago HERE.

Now a little bit of twitter talk makes us even more confident that this could happen. Not to mention the talk of San Antonio... not sure I could survive with Rob in the same State for such a long time!

The question was posed...



... and answered...

So what are you waiting for? Let's start a collection, let's fund this thing!
