Berlinale is underway and the reviews for Queen of the Desert are coming in! Rob was not present for the press conference and premiere but you can click HERE if you're interested in the events.



Since Rob is not in Berlin yet (he arrives for Life promo) and we have no pictures of Rob as T.E. Lawrence (the world is cruel), we have to "settle" for this knock out portrait during Berlinale 2012.

Here are the highlights about Rob and we'll be updating as they keep rolling in:

Excerpt from The Independent:

T.E. Lawrence himself appears (played in eccentric, tongue in cheek fashion by Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame)...Pattinson’s performance, meanwhile, is comic and a very long way removed from Peter O'Toole. He plays Lawrence Of Arabia as a sharp-tongued, sardonic figure who can see through the pretensions of his bosses and colleagues.

Excerpt from The Playlist:

In fact, of the actors not overwhelmed by the heavy sense that "we're playing old-timey dudes in old-timey duds," Robert Pattinson (though the duds do sit awkwardly on him), for words about whom, I'll face the fact that probably 75% of the readers of this review will have expressly tuned in, is most surprising. The part is small. He only has a few scenes, but helped by the writing of TE Lawrence as an ego-driven but lighthearted, whimsical brainbox, he actually sounds like he believes he is living in modern times, not some anachronistic recreation. And so even when he has ponderous words to say, such as when he quotes Jefferson's famous, damning line, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just," he does so lightly, conversationally — unconvincing costume aside, he lets a little life in.

Excerpt from The Guardian:

Perhaps in flight from her internal emotional turmoil, Bell cultivates her passionate interest in the Bedouin tribesmen and displaces her need for romantic love outwards – into the desert. There she is to encounter Lawrence himself, played boyishly by Robert Pattinson. He looks a little self-conscious in the headdress – though perhaps no more self-conscious than Lawrence himself looked in it. His appearance got a few laughs from the Berlin festival audience, but Pattinson carried off this (minor) role well enough.

Excerpt from The Hollywood Reporter:

The brief but significant appearances of Robert Pattinson as T.E. Lawrence

Excerpt from Criticwire:

Robert Pattinson gets relatively high marks for his brief turn as the bonafide T.E. Lawrence

Excerpt from The People's Movies:

With the exception of Robert Pattinson as T. E. Lawrence, her male counterparts are somewhat lacking. 

Excerpt from Indiewire:

The most ironic aspect of the enterprise is that the one man with whom Bell conducts believable, intriguing dealings is the one upon whom her sex-appeal has zero effect: none other than T.E. Lawrence himself, played with a plummy-voiced knowingness by Robert Pattinson. Pattinson doesn't get very much screen time here, but manages to come up with a Lawrence a universe away from Peter O'Toole's iconic portrayal - a kind of proto-Beat rebel in fancy Arab duds - and his dialogue exchanges with Kidman have a little touch of Steed and Mrs. Peel that at least gives their scenes some kind of oomph.

Excerpt from The Film Stage:

She encounters various historical figures, such as T.E. Lawrence (Robert Pattinson, in hilariously pretentious form)

ROBsessed Giveaway: Dive into an action packed thriller and win HUSH for Fiction Friday!

ROBsessed Giveaway: Dive into an action packed thriller and win HUSH for Fiction Friday!

Last week was the giveaway for Book 3 in the AFTER series and we found out that Anna Todd had some very cool things to say about Rob. The final book in the series comes out later this month and we'll host a giveaway for AFTER EVER HAPPY along with posting an interview we're doing with Anna!

Next week we have a treat for you guys in honor of Fifty Shades of Grey. Simon & Schuster sent us a Jamie Dornan book and we think some of you might dig it since he's likely on your mind. This week we have something a little different for us. A THRILLER!



Yesssssssss. Something action filled and containing murders! I love a good thriller and it looks like we have one on our hands with Karen Robard's HUSH:

In New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards’s latest heart-pounding thriller, a woman must uncover a murderer—or risk being the next victim of a vicious killer. 

When Riley Cowan finds her estranged husband Jeff dead in his palatial home, she’s sure it’s no coincidence. The police rule it a suicide, but Riley thinks someone’s out for blood—specifically someone Jeff’s father ripped off in one of the biggest financial fraud cases of all time. She suspects that someone is trying to send a message to Jeff’s father: Tell me where the money is, or everyone you care about will die. 

Enter Finn Bradley, an FBI agent with a dangerous secret. He's after the money too, and Riley quickly becomes his chief suspect. But when someone tries to kill her, he has no choice but to protect her until he can uncover the truth. The question becomes, can they discover the killer’s identity in time, before he resurfaces—and strikes again? 

Dubbed an “exceptional storyteller” by the Chicago Tribune and “one of the most popular voices in women’s fiction” by Newsweek, Karen Robards’s latest action-packed novel will keep you glued to the pages until the final, shocking conclusion.

Amazon has Chapter One up for a preview. Click HERE to check it out!

FanFic Friday
Last week I said I was starting Coming Home and I didn't. I went complete opposite. I read Present Perfect by giselle-lx. It was a quick read but I felt like reading canon fic. I love other work by giselle (Ithaca is Gorges is a major fave, as well as her shorter canon work like Da Capo) and think she has a great take on canon storylines. It's imaginative and feels completely authentic. Check out her fun one shots too about the Cullens.
Present Perfect is about how Alice and Edward became best friends, all pre-Twilight but with hints of the first book sprinkled in. I like how giselle shows Alice's mind and heart at work. I've enjoyed Alice and Jasper canon stories in the past. Finding out what it could have been like for them to first meet and fall in love. Finishing this, of course, put me in a canon and vamp mood again but I'm not sure if I'll stay there. I might go back to Coming Home or even There is a Light - an oldie but one I never read. Tonio is still going strong in Deep In The Heart Of Me. We just came off of the sweeter chapters with him and Sobe. I have a chapter sitting in my inbox calling me name. I can't wait to see what Tonio has planned for his next steps.

Charlie Hunnam Replaces Benedict Cumberbatch & Joins Robert Pattinson In 'The Lost City Of Z'

Charlie Hunnam Replaces Benedict Cumberbatch & Joins Robert Pattinson In 'The Lost City Of Z'

The Wrap is reporting that Benedict Cumberbatch will be replaced by Charlie Hunnam in The Lost City of Z and that production is slated to begin this summer.



From The Wrap:

Charlie Hunnam will replace Benedict Cumberbatch in James Gray‘s “Lost City of Z,” which also stars Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller.

Cumberbatch was forced to drop out of the project due to Marvel’s “Doctor Strange,” and now “Sons of Anarchy” alum Hunnam will play Col. Percival Fawcett in the adaptation of David Grann’s acclaimed bestseller.

MICA Entertainment has come on board to finance the movie, which Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are producing via Plan B Entertainment along with Dale Johnson and Anthony Katagas. Marc Butan is executive producing, as are MICA’s Julie B. May and Glenn Murray.

Sierra/Affinity will continue to handle international sales of the title at this year’s European Film Market. CAA represents the domestic rights to the film. Production is slated to start this summer.

“Lost City of Z” follows Percy Fawcett, a British colonial who disappeared in the 1920s while searching for a mythical city in the Amazon jungles of Brazil that he believed he discovered on a prior expedition.

Thanks Nancy!
