Well we know Rob is already in Australia to shoot "The Rover".
Now Variety News Editor Stuart Oldham reported on twitter from Sundance that Guy Pearce will soon be on his way to join Rob in Australia. it's ALL happening
In other Rover news the movie has made it onto The FlimStage’s 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2013″ list at No. 23 ...........
23. The Rover (David Michod; TBD)
Synopsis: A dirty and dangerous near-future western set in the Australian desert.
Why We’re Looking Forward To It: The last time Guy Pearce starred in a Australian western we got John Hillcoat‘s fantastic The Proposition. This time around, we’ve got Animal Kingdom director David Michod, Robert Pattinson (proving his talent in David Cronenberg‘s Cosmopolis), the underappreciated Scoot McNairy (Killing Them Softly, Argo, Monsters) and a near-future setting — it’s safe to say we’re quite excited. With a shoot gearing up in a few months, we hope this one will make it to theaters before the year’s end. – Jordan R.
IonCinema ALSO compiled their list of their 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2013 and “The Rover” made it in at no 27 on their list.
But even more interesting was the last paragraph of their article where they said that the Autumn Film Festivals were hoping to nab the World Premiere of “The Rover”.
This has us crossing our fingers that we MAY in fact get to see “The Rover” in the VERY near future.
The Rover
Director/Writer: David Michôd
Producer(s): David Linde and Liz Watts
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Guy Pearce, Scoot McNairy
His four-star, stellar criminal underworld saga Animal Kingdom officially put first-time helmer David Michod on the map. His sophomore film was a top sales title in Cannes 2012, and the pic contains an impressive trio of three so far (further casting announcements should be made shortly) with Scoot McNairy easily enjoying his time in the spotlight.
Gist: The Rover is set in the Australian desert in a dangerous and dysfunctional near future. Eric (Guy Pearce) has left everything and every semblance of human kindness behind him. When his last possession, his car, is stolen by a gang of dangerous criminals, Eric sets off to track them down and is forced along the way to enlist the help of Reynolds (Robert Pattinson), the naive member of the gang left behind in the bloody chaos of the gang’s most recent escape.
Release Date: Production begins this month in Australia, so this means programmers from Telluride, Venice, Toronto, NYFF all have wishes of nabbing a world premiere. Surprisingly, no U.S. distributor has sunk their fangs into this.
