The Playlist has included two of Robert Pattinson’s films in their wishlist for films that might have their world premieres at film festivals this fall:
“Good Timeâ€
The Safdie Brothers’ “Heaven Knows What†was a total surprise — a film that few were aware of until it premiered at Venice two years ago and proceeded to blow everybody’s socks off. The duo shot their latest film at the start of the year, a ‘neo-grindhouse’ crime thriller about a bank robber trying to stay free, with some A-list backing thanks to star Robert Pattinson. The film’s long since wrapped, and given their history at Venice, we reckon we’ll see them there again this time in the main competition.“The Lost City Of Zâ€
We have to say, after a sales trailer leaked earlier in the year, we were expecting to see James Gray’s “The Lost City Of Z†at Cannes, given that he’s such a favorite there. But word is it wasn’t ready, which would appear to make a Venice debut for the director for his period adventure, starring Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland and (*resigned sigh*) Charlie Hunnam, more likely. Gray’s stuck to Cannes since “The Yards†sixteen years ago but “Little Odessa†won the Silver Lion on the Lido, and the stage would seem to be set for a return in that direction. Going straight to TIFF could be possible too, but Venice seems very likely to us.
Well we won’t have to wait too long to see if this wishlist meets our own.
