Ok so Hopscotch Films posted the clip “I’ve have something to tell you” and although we have seen this already, I thought I would post because I have something Bel Ami related to tell you.
Â
I spoke with Hopscotch yesterday and asked whether they were planning on doing any special advanced screenings of Bel Ami. prior to its release on 24 May 2012. Guess what – they asked if we were interested in holding one in Sydney on the evening of 23 May 2012.  The film is yet to be classified, but I”m assuming it will be MA+ so if you are 15 or under you need to let me know.  If we can garner enough interest, and I’m talking about more than 100 of us getting together, then Hopscotch has offered to provide us with a print of the film and put us in contact with a cinema who would hold the screening. It’s not free of course, and I’m not saying that because RPAU is planning to make money from this, our policy is and always will be that we don’t make money off Rob in any way shape or form, but I’m saying this because I’m guessing the cinema will charge their normal ticket prices.
It may be that we won’t get enough interest, but I’d like to know what you all think.  I’d love it if Rob’s fans would stand up to show him the support that he deserves. I know we did it for WFE – we can do it for Georges too – don’t you think.
So you can either post a comment below or email us at robertpattinsonau@gmail.com and let us know if you are interested and whether you can bring others that might not know about our website, but are interested in seeing this film.
We will post a link on the sidebar too to make it easier for everyone to comment. I’ve told Hopscotch to give us a few weeks to see what interest is like and then we can go from there.
Here’s hoping Rob’s fans show their support :DÂ Please let anyone else know that you think might be interested in attending. C’mon we can do it.
PS. For other States, Hopscotch has said if there is enough interest there it might be possible to organise a screening there too, but we shall see.
PPS. I think there’s a rumour that Hopscotch might be giving us some posters to give away on the night *giggles* You know you want one.
How fantastic is this! 🙂 I can’t get to Sydney but I am so there if they want to have one in Melbourne! And I can bring friends!
Count me in! Might see if I can get some of the girls from the office to join in too.
I am so there if this is happening!!!!!!!
Sounds good! Although I’d have to find out which cinema it’ll be held at before giving a definite answer, as i’d have to figure out if I can get a train there and back from the Gong without being too late!
I am so freaking excited for you all in Oz – I hope this works out for you and gets the go ahead. He’s so, SO worth it. You will LOVE him in this film. Thanks Maria for trying to arrange this and to Hopscotch for being so amazing!! 🙂
xx
@Steph I’d hope it was something in the city or close by and easy to get too – it won’t be the Ritz at Randwick – I think Hopscotch is more affiliated with the indie cinemas and/or Greater Union/Hoyts or whatever they are now called.
*giggling like a school girl* How cool is this? I’d LOVE to come to Sydney again, but I’m not sure if a mid week break would be possible. However, if there was to be a Melbourne one, I would be there with bells on….even suspenders perhaps 😉 …… and I would make sure to get as many people there as possible, even If I had to pay for their ticket myself LOL
OMG OMG OMG Yes Yes Yes YES!!!!
Anywhere, anytime baby!!!!
Bummer about The Ritz though. I sort of have the warm and fuzzies about that place becuase of their Rob support. With the exception of How To Be I have seen all possible Rob movies there. I only found RPAU a few days after that screening.
YES YES YES
I’m there!
OMG this is so freakin’ exciting!!!!! Got everything crossed that this comes to fruition!!!!! Seeing Georges early is what dreams are made of 😀
Yes please!!!
@Carmel I’m only saying this because I usually am the one to organise through the Ritz and I’m not sure who Hopscotch has in mind yet. I guess it depends on the numbers we get. I love the Ritz too they have always supported Rob’s career.
If you build the numbers George’s will come -or something like that. I am in Melbourne so fingers crossed we can build the momentum needed – thank you for trying to organize 🙂
@Maria – I understand. No complaints about where ever Rob movies are shown. Especially and advances screening. Squeeeee.
Just giving the love to the Ritz. Wonderful Rob memories and momentous meetings all seem to centre around that beautiful little suburban cinema
sounds excellent, if it was held in Melbourne, i would be so there.if its a definate in Sydney ,i may consider it.
I’m from Melbourne but I’d be more than more than happy to support Rob in this. If it does go ahead I will need enought time to organize myself eg time away from work, getting a flight etc. I’ve never been to Sydney other than the airport so this would be great. Count me in.
PS if it happens in Melbourne I’ll go to than one too.
Like Cindy and Elane I would definitely be able to go to a Melbourne screening but not to Sydney. And I can bring friends too!!! Oh I so hope we can make it happen!!
yep… i’m in
prefer Melb, but can do Syd
Hell Yes if it is in Melbourne and to far away for me either as I live in the south east of Melbourne but a girl can dream as I won’t have anyone go with as mamy people think I’m too crazy about Rob
@Beth never feel alone -I hear you and that is why I love RPAU and the lovely ladies on this site:)
Will be there with bells on, + lots of girl friends too, wil definately support the option of an exclusive preview, what a great idea. See u there…..can’t waitt join the RP fan base……big fan from way back!! Kellie
Gosh I’m SO late to this post! Count me in ~ I’m not sure who I could bring from Brissie, being mid-week, but I could manage a couple …. too bad they couldn’t make it the weekend before ~ I’d have LOTS of interest for another girls’ weekend in Sydney! Thanks Maria …. I’ve been dying to get back here all day to see what you had in store for us!
ps. @Maria ….. didn’t see anyone mention that they were 15 or under…..LOL!
🙁 oh poo I think I must be the only one from SA so far so that counts me out both for coming to Sydney & I’m guessing SA won’t have the numbers to get it here Maria? Consider me in if that situation changes though please 🙂 (Plus at least 2 other diehards I know I could get there) My very best wishes to the lucky Eastern state(s) to get the numbers to go ahead; what an opportunity, ladies!! Enjoy 🙂
An early screening in Sydney would be to die for…drool drool….drool….I would be there for sure:) Fingers crossed this can happen:)
I would definitely be interested. I’m in Melbourne.
I’m not in Australia, but I’ll be sure to spread the word.
Thank you @robmusement 🙂
Val I’m in Adelaide! I would love for us to have it here! I can get some people and will put it to my children’s classes and we can have a Mum’s night out!!!
YES I WILL BE THERE IF THERE IS A SCREENING 🙂 YAY!!
I’ll definitely go to an early screening. I know of quite a few people who would also go, so I’m sure that you wold get your 100 attendees!
count me in! 😀
count me in 😀
Would definitely go if it was in Melbourne!!
Having one in Melbourne would be great.
YES YES YES!!!! Australia deserves this screening. I LOVE LOVE this site so much. A true RobONLY site. I want to thank all the people behind this site. You are doing a great job. robertpattinsonau.com is being named on many Tumblr and twitter. I can only imagine how much work and dedication you put in this site. And it shows! From the bottem of my heart I hope Australia can get the early screening. Much luck and love from The Netherlands!
Thank you SO much @NatashaMunchies for your lovely comments. They are so so very appreciated 😀 We at RPAU adore & respect Rob firstly as a person, something that sadly many people neglect to do. RPAU is such a special place & I know I speak on behalf of us all when we say that we truly treasure it & everyone who visits us. Celebrating this beautiful man Rob & supporting his brilliant career is something I feel so privileged to be a part of.
I would love to & if I had the money to fly interstate I would so be there
I’m down for the screening!!
My friend and I would LOVEEEEEEE to go!!!!
If their was one in Melbourne I would attend and bring others too.
Hey Tracey, woooot go SA, he he! Mums’ night out sounds great. I’m sure Maria will keep us all posted if if looks like it could go ahead in any other state 😀 *waves hello to NatashaMunchies – and love your comment* The dedication of the RPAU ladies to producing a quality product, knows no bounds.
I am totally in! And i can bring like, ten people! :”) I HOPE THIS HAPPENS!!!!
Whaaaaa? 10 people – thanks Nat.
Ok so to give you an update – I’m going to sit down over the Easter break and figure out who is in – where the most are and what not. I’m still hoping to leave this open for another week or so because I know not everyone checks their twitter and our site daily.
It’s not looking good at the moment, but it’s only been 3 days and I know when we held the Little Ashes event, we had 150 people tell us they were interested, but only 75 turned up. I really need people to be committed to this. I know it’s only 1 day before, but just think – Rob minded people to share him with *giggles*.
Anyway I’m not discounting it happening yet – thanks everyone who has responded – I truly appreciate it!
Oh Maria, you don’t know how much I wish you could count me in on Sydney (plus it would be cool to meet some of you) 🙁 I really hope you guys get to do this, even if it’s so I can live vicariously through other’s fortune to live in the right city for Robscreenings, lol! Fingers crossed for you all. Mwa
