This just in from Jeff Sneider of Variety
According to Deadline:
EXCLUSIVE: As packages firm up for AFM, here’s one that will surely reverberate in Santa Monica. Robert Pattinson is signing on to star with Carey Mulligan in Hold On To Me. The film will be directed by James Marsh, who won an Oscar for the docu Man On Wire and followed with Project Nim.
Pic is based on a true story about a femme fatale who with her boyfriend kidnaps and ransoms the town’s richest man. They bury him in a box and things go horribly awry. Pattinson plays the flashy supporting role of the woman’s life love, Jimmy, who isn’t involved in the crime. The project was scripted by Brad Ingelsby.
Indian Paintbrush’s Steven Rales, Mark Roybal and Michael Pruss are producing with Alexandra Milchan. Also producing is Todd Field, who originally developed the film to direct, but stepped off to helm Creed of Violence for Cross Creek.
Pattinson adds this to an early 2013 schedule that will have him starring opposite Guy Pearce in the David Michod-directed The Rover, and he is also starring in Mission Blacklist, the true story of the U.S. military interrogator responsible for discovering the location of Saddam Hussein in the hunt for the fallen leader. He is repped by WME and 3 Arts.
Plus IMDbPro has this listed as “In Development” – “Nancy and Danny” with a plot:Â A woman takes advantage of a hapless guy in an elaborate plot to make money that goes awry.

Had to sneek a quick look whilst at work and what a GREAT SURPRISE!!!! Would this be an indie? Whatever it is looking forward to it a lot. Also, sorry about this I’m just learning about the movie world but what is AFM? Has it got to do with finance? 😀
Hi Andrea, welcome to RPAU 🙂

Welcome to RPAU Andrea, so nice to have you join us. So glad you found us & yep, we’re all 100% Rob fans here 😀
Thanks guys! Now I’m going to sound really stupid but how do I get a pic of the ever so sexy rob next to my name lol
Not stupid at all Andrea, glad to help.
You need to go to this site http://en.gravatar.com/ & sign up for an account. You do so by clicking ‘log in’ at the top of the page & you’ll see the ‘sign up’ option there. Everything is pretty straight forward after that, but if you need any further help, just let us know. Look forward to seeing what pic you choose, so many gorgeous ones to choose from 😀
Hahaha I’m lost I’ve signed up how do I get the pic on here do u put a code somewhere?
@silve its the American Film Market – its like a convention/exhibition were financing, distribution etc deals are struck
It should just appear Andrea but sometimes it takes a little bit to come through. Gotta love technology – NOT lol. Might have to clear your cache on your internet browser. That usually does the trick 🙂
Ok here goes nothing I’m going to try hahah
Testingggg
Ok doesn’t like me:( ill try when I get home on a computer silly phones
Sorry for the spam but it now works. Thank u so much for ur help Michelle:)
Awww love your pic choice Andrea. My pleasure 😀
Yes!!!! Sounds good so far.
Thank you Maria.
I’m so excited about this role!!! I love Carey Mulligan, she is so talented and I am really happy that Rob will be in a movie with her. As we have all said before, his career choices are absolutely brilliant, Just slowly cementing his place in Hollywood and choosing good projects with brilliant collaborators. Kudos Rob, you are awesome!!!
Interesting mood choice @maria. What has you feeling so angry my dear?
@ephie. The organisers of Rob’s tour. They told me they’d keep me in the loop. They aren’t. Although I did manage to get a response from them yesterday. Not to mention Hoyt’s D refused to allow us in the fan event because apparently it’s “for fans”. I guess my press accreditation was lost in the mail, but conveniently we couldn’t even score a 5 minute interview with Rob because guess what – we aren’t media.
Oh and just so everyone knows – there is NO press conference in Sydney. I thought it interesting they chose to specify “in Sydney”.
Everything is so clandestine – I’m surprised his fans can get even a look in.
OMG @maria!!! What pigs they are!!! It’s for fans??? Really??.?? And what are we, especially you guys that run this sight??? I don’t believe it!! I’m so angry now too. So they just want screaming teens, so pathetic. In light of this I must say your mood gif choice is absolutely perfect
Thanks @ephie. I thought I should vent some of my frustration in case people thought I was just having a temper tantrum. At the end of the day – we’re not running this site purely to get the chance to meet Rob. I might never meet him .. I’ve accepted that, but it would be nice to be able to let him know who his fans are in Australia.
So … in light of how I’ve seen things unfold. I will be there with my non-Twilight picture of Rob holding it up so that he can see I don’t see him as Edward LOL. Wish I’d had the foresight to get my “don’t call me Edward” tshirt printed *giggles*
Gosh that would have been priceless @maria!!! And he would soooo get the joke lol. Well, I hope you get to see him on the red carpet at least.
Oh, late again! Bugger it! I just wanted to congratulate Rob for choosing a supporting role in an interesting sounding film – proves he isn’t a prima donna wanting starring roles all the time (although he deserves them!). His choices are always interesting – he really goes out on a limb sometimes! Big hello to the new girls who have just joined in the conversation – the more the merrier! Maria darling, I feel for you – this seems to be hitting you the hardest. So unfair!
Thanks @ephie 🙂 will try
