Maps To The Stars ROUNDUP: Robert Pattinson leaving the premiere, David Michôd in attendance, reviews calling Rob a proper actor & more!

Before we get to Rob leaving, let's see him coming. ;)



Ray of sunshine <3



Can I feel too, Rob?? This so needs a caption. LOL



Such sweetness



There are over 100 new pics of Rob at the premiere under the cut but here's a shot of Rob and Julianne leaving the premiere. Rob is trying to KILL the photographer.

Fandom also spotted The Rover's David Michôd at the Maps To The Stars premiere in this picture (after the screening) we posted earlier! Bottom right, wearing his gray glasses in a profile shot.



It looks like Mia even points him out to Rob before they sit down.


There was some holdover stuff from the press conference earlier...a few pics and videos




 

Rob is on after the Foxcatcher crew, after 1:20 ("How does it feel to be in Cannes?" "Good." LOL)

And a few more review snippets from the press screening May 18th.

The Independent:

Pattinson (in his second film with Cronenberg after Cosmopolis) brings a sly humour to his role as the young actor on the make, genial but as much on the make as anyone else....This is high class soap opera with a cerebral twist. Its sudden shifts in tone are disconcerting but it is funny, ghoulish and has plenty of satirical bite.

Movie City News:

Robert Pattinson, Cronenberg’s oddly appropriate muse, no longer needs to prove his authenticity as a proper actor. Finally, we need to see more of Evan Bird, witnessed here in his breakout role as a hilarious asshole narcissist. To be sure, Cronenberg’s navigation combined with Wagner’s pen (“it’s a fucking art film!”) make Maps to the Stars both a standout of Cannes 2014, and the best film the director has made since 2005.

Way Too Indie:

...great fun, and an invigorating addition to Cronenberg’s offbeat filmography.

Robert Pattinson aka King of Cannes, has a weird and meaty role in The Rover and knows what to do with it

While Rob's Maps To The Stars premiere was underway, the fandom got a certain something to trend worldwide...



ROBERT PATTINSON KING OF CANNES!!!! *pops open the bubbly*


Yes I made us a new KoC graphic to celebrate and accompany this awesome write up from The Wrap - who arguably believes Rob is the King of Cannes too, they just say it differently. ;)

From The Wrap by Steve Pond:

Robert Pattinson's Cannes Makeover Gets Darker and Bloodier With ‘The Rover’

Cannes 2014: David Michod's grimy road movie joins “Maps to the Stars” as an opportunity for indie-driven reinvention 

After the last couple of days at Cannes, it's easy to see why Robert Pattinson is on the cover of French Premiere with the headline “la metamorphose.” 

The two movies that have brought Pattinson to the Croisette are weird, dark, supremely edgy and nothing like what we might expect from an actor who became famous as the vampire dude in the “Twilight” movies. 

His reinvention (at least when he strays into the indie world) is indeed a metamorphosis. And Cannes has become an accessory to his intriguing makeover, which actually started a couple of years ago when he came to the festival with David Cronenberg's austere and arty “Cosmopolis.” 

This year, he's back with Cronenberg's “Maps to the Stars” and David Michod's “The Rover” which premiered on back-to-back days at Cannes. Both are bloody, brutal and strange, and both are terrific.

And the remarkable thing is that “Maps to the Stars,” in which Pattinson plays a chauffeur driver and aspiring actor who ends up having sex with Julianne Moore in the back seat of his car before almost everybody in the whole movie self-destructs spectacularly, turns out to be only the runner-up in the competition to see which of Pattinson's Cannes movies is darker and edgier. 

The dark ‘n’ edgy crown really goes to “The Rover,” a brutally brilliant and brilliantly brutal post-apocalyptic road movie that crawls along creepily before periodically erupting into violence. Nobody in this movie walks away clean – but then, nobody walks in clean, either.

That's hardly a surprise, given that Michod burst on the festival scene in 2010 when he took the black and provocative crime drama “Animal Kingdom” to Sundance, starting a run that gave him some real heat and landed Jacki Weaver an Oscar nomination. 

“The Rover,” which is screening out of competition and will be released in the U.S. by A24, is more ambitious than that tightly-wound family-that-kills-together story. Set in a grimy time described only as “10 years after the collapse,” his new film creates a vision of a ravaged future in which nothing is shiny and everyone you meet will happily rip you off, rob you blind or leave you in a pool of blood. 

A lone traveler played by Guy Pearce has his car stolen at the beginning of the film and leaves a trail of bodies as he tries to get it back; early in the journey, he picks up a passenger in Pattinson, a none-too-bright drifter with a drawl, a dopey grin and a few of his own reasons for making the trip. 

Of course, you can't make a road movie about a savage post-industrial, post-disaster Australia without summoning up the ghosts of “Mad Max” and “The Road Warrior” (if not “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,” which occupies its own ignoble niche). But George Miller's '70s and '80s movies had better cars, more stylish wardrobes and much more of an action-flick sensibility; Michod isn't afraid to rachet up the tension with long stretches in which not much happens. 

(What is it with brutal minimalism at this year's Cannes? Lisandro Alonso's Un Certain Regard entry “Jouja,” with Viggo Mortensen as a Danish officer trekking through the South American looking for his daughter, hits some of the same notes but is so minimalist as to qualify as an art project as much as a movie.) 

Pearce is an excellent anchor for this angry trip through a vicious and parched landscape, but we knew he would be. But Pattinson, who Cronenberg sometimes seemed to use specifically because of a certain blankness (particularly in “Cosmopolis”), gets a weird and meaty role and turns out to know what to do with it. 

While “The Rover” played at a Cannes screening on Monday afternoon, incidentally, high winds buffeted the canvas sails and panels that made up part of the salle de Soixantieme screening room. At times it sounded as if the building was about to come down in some massive conflagration – and they couldn't have been showing a more appropriate movie if it did.

Thank you, Deb, for the screen cap!

Maps To The Stars screening is over and they received a long standing ovation! Scroll to the bottom to see more pics from inside the theater and David hugging Rob during the standing ovation (Thanks for that PAW!).





CJ identified Rob's tuxedo and of course....it's Dior Homme! I love love love that it seems Rob is wearing Dior exclusively for his major promotional events. We'll see if the streak continues like it has for Marion Cotillard, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence.




Oh my gosh...we can relate to the girl behind Julianne, can't we. CAN'T WE.



I can't wait to see them together in MTTS!



Robert, you are sensational! So damn handsome!!!



The all black number has always been a winner on Rob. But everything is a winner on Rob!



I wanna know what they were laughing about! Yes I'm being nosy.



Excuse me while I sigh and swoon.

Robert Pattinson talks about wanting to work with directors, Quentin Tarantino and Jacques Audiard

Robert Pattinson talks about wanting to work with directors, Quentin Tarantino and Jacques Audiard

From europe1 (translated with Reverso with minor editing by us. They had Rob as an American actor...OK):

CANNES - The actor pursues his metamorphosis by deviating from blockbusters. Present in Cannes for two films in competition, he confided in Europe1. 

Portrait. Robert Pattinson is unrecognizable in his new roles. This year, the English actor known for his role in Twilight is present in Cannes for two films in competition. 

At first, Maps To The Stars, the latest David Cronenberg, together with Julianne Moore. Robert Pattinson embodies a limousine chauffeur, whose dream is to become a scriptwriter.
The actor is also in The Rover by David Michôd, in which Robert Pattinson plays a pursued criminal. 

New direction. Robert Pattinson's career takes a new direction since the last two years. The actor played a young billionaire in Cosmopolis, also by David Cronenberg. A collaboration which reveals him to the eyes of the directors of art films.
"I am open to everything."  

"I do not believe that I really changed, I just have a lot of luck," the actor to the microphone of Europe1 confides.
"It is incredible that happens to me, it is completely crazy," assures the actor, who does not however close the door in the big productions, in particular in the continuation(suite) of the legend Twilight:
"I am opened to everything! But I am too old now. Having said that, if it is Quentin Tarantino who directs it, I shall be obliged to say yes!" 

Jacques Audiard. "I do not choose any more of my films based on money or prosperity, and that makes me really very happy", pursues Robert Pattinson, who dreams to collaborate with Jacques Audiard. A change of direction which does not prevent the teenagers from continuing to worship the actor. On Sunday, some waited for him several hours in front of the hotel where their idol gave interviews.

It's clear and has been for a bit now that Rob's professional path is one that allows him to work with great directors. Hopefully, if he keeps mentioning Audiard, he'll get the opportunity to work with him, a favorite of Rob's. Click HERE if you missed an earlier interview that Rob talked about his director plan!

Julianne Moore Gives Robert Pattinson A Perfect 10

Julianne Moore Gives Robert Pattinson A Perfect 10

Julianne was on Le Grand Journal tonight (Rob is on it tomorrow night, check the details HERE if you missed it) and as you remember at the Maps to The Stars Press conference this morning they asked Rob about his limo sex with Julianne in Maps and Juliette in Cosmopolis. He gave them both a 7!

On Le Grand Journal they asked Julianne what she would give Rob! No surprise that she gave him a 10!?
Being the caring person that I am and because I love you all so much I would be TOTALLY willing to check this out. All in the name of 'research' of course!
