Hello's Half Hour With Robert Pattinson
IDOL'S EYE: Robert Pattinson's character revealed and Rachel Weisz in talks to join the cast!
IDOL'S EYE: Robert Pattinson's character revealed and Rachel Weisz in talks to join the cast!
A fan sent us a link to Hillel Levin's blog where he talked about the casting of Rob and Robert De Niro. Levin is the author of the article, Boosting the Big Tuna, that inspires the film.
From HillelLevin.com:
Big news for this project out of Cannes, where director Olivier Assayas released his latest film, Clouds of Sils Maria. He will next work on Idol's Eye, a movie based on my April 2007 article for Playboy called, "Boosting the Big Tuna." The story is about burglars who break into the home of Chicago's longtime Godfather, Tony Accardo. Robert Pattinson will play the burglar ringleader, who is based on John Mendell--a freelance "juice man" or "wire man" capable of overcoming the most sophisticated burglar alarms, but also the proprietor of a machine shop who was desperate to go "legit." De Niro will play Accardo, who ruled Chicago's mob for five decades. Despite the fact that he's hardly a household name, I would argue that Accardo was America's most important organized crime figure in the twentieth century. He not only influenced politics in the Windy City, but also corrupted wide swaths of the union movement (e.g. Teamsters and Laborers), and probably did more to build the Las Vegas Strip (mostly with Teamster pension funds) than anyone else. He features prominently in my play, "Assassination Theater." By the time of the burglary, he had become practically an establishment figure in Chicago--unusually accessible to the neighbors in his wealthy suburb, courtly to the power elite, with whom he occasionally rubbed shoulders, but still bone-chillingly ruthless with anyone who crossed his path in the criminal world--as Mendell eventually found out. It will be fascinating to see De Niro's approach to the part. One funny note: the dispute between Accardo and Mendell centers on the burglary of a high-end pawn shop. Somehow, in the mix of accents at Cannes, "pawn" got turned into "porn." I hope the reality here does not disappoint.HAHA!
Ok back to serious talk. This is CRAZY exciting. I've been vibrating from the excitement since yesterday and it just keeps getting better! You can google Rob's character name (click HERE to see picture) if you want to know his story but know there will be spoilers since it's historical fact out there.
As you already know, Robert De Niro casting news broke yesterday. Today, it looks like Rachel Weisz will be joining the Roberts!
From Variety:
Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz is in negotiations to join Robert Pattinson and Robert De Niro for Olivier Assayas’ sprawling Chicago-set gangster drama “Idol’s Eye,” which is due to start shooting in the fall.Rob was supposed to be with Rachel in Unbound Captives...then Maps To The Stars....is Idol's Eye third times the charm? We can not WAIT for this movie. It's looking to be a HUGE deal. :))))
Charles Gillibert at Paris-based CG Cinema is lead-producing the film with American partners Benaroya Pictures, which is financing and producing, as well as Bluegrass Films’ Scott Stuber, Film 360’s Scott Lambert, Alexandra Milchan and Michael Benaroya. Ben Sachs is exec producing for Benaroya Pictures.
Previously titled “Hubris,” the project is based on a 2007 Playboy article called “Boosting The Big Tuna” by Hillel Levin. It follows a group of thieves who rob a man who turns out to be Chicago mafia boss Tony Accardo.
Script is penned by Assayas, who won a Golden Globe for “Carlos the Jackal,” his mini-series starring Edgar Ramirez as Venezuelan revolutionary Ilich Ramirez Sanchez.
International Film Trust, the outfit topped by Christian De Gallegos and launched last year by Benaroya and Miscellaneous Entertainment, is repping foreign sales on “Idol’s Eye.”
CAA, which arranged financing, will represent domestic rights along with WME.
Weisz is repped by Independent Talent Group, CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
Assayas’ latest film, “Clouds of Sils Maria,” produced by Gillibert’s CG Cinema, competed at Cannes.

Emmmmm Rob you forgot to take off your clothes. Here let me help you with that ;}

This is from Les InRockuptibiles magazine ;)
Translation:
“Do you happen to know if Leos Carax is around? ” asks Robert Pattinson ingenously. ( White shirt and khaki moth eaten T shirt) when we mention Juliette Binoche and “Les amants du Pont Neuf”, one of his favourite book. We explain him that Monsieur Merde ‘s daddy is not a party goer at Cannes but it’s likely to come across him every morning, at the moment to eat a croissant and drink a coffee in a pub in the 10th arrondissement . “Wow , are you joking?”. Rob seems to be ready, immediately after we leave him, to jump in a High Speed train, to head to Gare de Lyon. A movie with Carax and Pattinson? Why not? Nothing seems to be forbidden for the British actor, who became a star with the Twilight saga, who was sucked the lifeblood out by the paparazzis since his relationship ( and breaking out) with Kristen Stewart, and today he’s wooed by the most prestigious directors in the world.
Look by yourself : Lawrence of Arabia for Werner Herzog ( already shot) , explorer with James Gray ( to be shoot next year), gangster in Chicago in the 70s for Olivier Assayas and a role to be determined yet in Harmory Korine ‘s upcoming project… And of course, Two movies this year at Cannes film Festival : in the official competition with David Cronenberg ( but this time he’s the one to drive the limo) and at the Midnight screening in the beautiful The Rover from the australian David Michôd : “Honestly it was really what I was expecting. I’ve been working like crazy for 5 years and I’ve been trying to tie relationships with directors I admire”… The unfolding of the battle plan seems indeed irreprochable.
“Robert is an extremely malleable actor, very smart, nice and easy to direct” adds Cronenberg. As for David Michôd, he was impressed by his ability to show initiatives ” He arrived at the screen tests with a precise idea of what would his character be . It was astonishing”. And don’t forget his friendliness and his singing sessions, in the evening , in the middle of the desert, around the fire – He strangely become shy when we ask him what kind of music he likes to play.
By the end of the interview, he finishes the entire bottle of water ( a lot have apparently been drunk last night) and moves away towards a new destination ( Café des Arts, 80 street Belleville, Paris 10th arrondissement . But hush hush, we didn’t tell you anything)
