Squeeeeeeeee there is nothing more exciting than news of a new Rob project.  How EPIC is 2014 going to be *dances through RPAU* 😀

From Variety:

Juliette Binoche, Tim Roth and Robert Pattinson are attached to “The Childhood of a Leader,” a new drama directed by Brady Corbet, Variety has learned.

The pic is Corbet’s feature directorial debut, after winning honorable mention at Sundance in 2009 for his short “Protect You + Me.”

The drama, which tells the childhood of a post-World War I leader, is tentatively scheduled to shoot in Europe starting in May. Corbet co-wrote the script with Mona Fastvold, the director of the upcoming Sundance drama “The Sleepwalker.” It will be produced by Antoine and Martine de Clermont-Tonnere, Chris Coen, Amour Fou and Scope Pictures. Protagonist Pictures will handle international film sales.

Corbet, the star of this year’s Sundance indie “Simon Killer,” just wrapped roles in Noah Baumbach’s “While We’re Young,” Andrea Di Stefano’s “Paradise Lost” and Bertrand Bonello’s “Saint Laurent.”

How great does this sound & with Juliette Binoche & Tim Roth – A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!

From The Film Stage:

With roles in Simon Killer, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Melancholia, Funny Games, and more, Brady Corbet has been a fascinating actor to watch in recent years, but now the up-and-coming talent is headed down a different direction. While he directed the 2008 short Protect You + Me, he’s now set to helm his feature-length debut with a new project titled The Childhood of a Leader.

According to Variety, he’s already assembled quite a cast as well, with the Cosmopolis duo of Juliette Binoche and Robert Pattinson on board, along with Tim Roth. The film, co-written by Corbet and Mona Fastvold, will track the childhood of a post-World War I leader. Unfortunately there’s no additional details outside of a Europe production scheduled for this May, but hopefully we’ll see this one on the 2015 festival circuit.

 

And this great article from The Playlist:

From “Twilight” hunk couldn’t walk into a corner store without a legion of girls screaming and passing out, to an actor making all the right moves, Robert Pattinson continues to leave his vampire past far behind him. With a re-teaming with David Cronenberg and films with James Gray and Werner Herzog on the horizon, Pattinson continues to be cashing in his Respectable Actor chips and is now set to work again with a famed French actress.

Pattinson is re-teaming with “Cosmopolis”co-star Juliette Binoche for “The Childhood Of A Leader.” Tim Roth rounds out the leading trio the cast in the film co-written by Mona Fastvold and actor Brady Corbert(“Melancholia,” “Simon Killer”) that will tell the story —as you might have guessed from the title — of the childhood of a post-WWI leader. Which one? Don’t ask because for the moment, Variety isn’t saying. That being said, we should know more soon.

Everything is coming together for shooting to start in May overseas, with Corbet making his feature directorial debut. So add this to Pattinson’s growing list of intriguing projects that he has coming down the line.

“…an actor making all the right moves, Robert Pattinson continues to leave his vampire past far behind him” – oh yeah, that he is!  Is that the sound of many people eating humble pie I hear?!
