As we bid farewell to what turned out to be a slightly corker May, we wave frantically to June. Brimstone starts filming in 15 days, not that I’m counting. bwah who am I kidding of course I am.  And with the surprise removal of The Trap from Rob’s IMDb page (it’s no longer showing on Pro or IMDb anymore, but we did get a mention of Rob on a casting call reminder that I posted today). I really have no idea what’s going on as you can tell. In very positive news, Martin Koolhoven treated us to a pre-production photo reminding us that Rob’s most definitely going to be on a set soon. I’m going to focus on the positive. I’m sure there’s a very good explanation if Rob’s no longer involved with Harmony’s film. On Thursday I tweeted a pic of Guy Pearce that was taken in New York on 26 May.  That beard … I wondered if Guy had grown that for his role as the preacher.  And then I realised later, of course the beard must be for the film because all I needed to do was look at the promo poster to see that the preacher has a beard. But it’s been a slightly tough week and sometimes my fingers go before brain. Anyway I guess it’s just coincidence that BrimstoneMovie tweeted the storyboard artist’s interpretation of Guy’s character in the early evening (our time). LOL I’m beginning to think BrimstoneMovie is lurking our timeline. That’s twice now I’ve tweeted about the film and they’ve provided something along the same lines. Remind me to tweet something about Rob post 15 June – third times a charm they say. Thursday also gave us those gorgeous portraits of Rob during the US Rover promo. So much hidden goodness out there am pretty sure it’s criminal of them not to share sooner. I did find that great black and white photo of Rob on the Cannes red carpet for Cosmopolis and the Remember Me stills.  Werner Herzog’s website also gave us a slight look into a date when Queen of the Desert may be released in the US. Things are so quiet when it comes to both QotD and Life aren’t they. I like slow burn, but I think this is taking it to a whole new level. Turkey of course is giving their Rob fans Life in September. Did you read Dan Stephens insightful article on Rob? No? Well you better click on that link below as soon as you finish reading my ramblings. I swear Dan is in my head. Fantastic article. Love his quotes. Love everything Dan said about Rob. And before I go let me thank Jules once again for spoiling us with those edits. They are just brilliant. Until next week …

It’s certainly been a week of ups and downs! Good news, bad news, new pics of old films, worried fans giving vent to their fears for Rob’s career choices… Well, I think it’s important to remember that even super-famous in-demand actors have ‘down times’. As much as we all want to see Rob in a new film every few months, we just have to be patient and trust in his judgment. He is not ours – no matter how much we love him and support him, we need to chill, take a deep breath, and let him live the life he wants. It’s hard, I know. I’m as greedy as the next fan for something new, but he’s a sensible young man and I think he truly values the art of cinema and wants to contribute to its quality, not its quantity. So girls, let’s just chill and be very very grateful for what he gives us.
@Trish I totally agree with everything you have said. People need to remember what Rob has said in the past about why and how he chooses films – here’s a reminder https://soundcloud.com/deepest-dream/robert-pattinson-doesnt-have. I love David M’s little comment at the end. I will too Rob.
Oh Maria. Your weekly reviews are a life to me at the moment. I am having ongoing connection issues that don’t look like they are going away any time soon.
These reviews are keeping me in the loop. I need to be in the loop. I love the loop. This isolation is killing me.
Brimstone being this close is very exciting. I had set myself an expectation of September for Life and I dearly hope that happens
People are worried about Rob’s career choices? Wtf??? He has awesome choices. Is it the unpredictable nature of Indie films that is causing concern? If so- chill people. It isn’t your career. We willingly tag along for the ride but none of hold tickets. I’m pretty happy the Rob Adventure.
Great roundup as always Maria, thank you so much!!
@Trish & Carmel….*stands up to applaud you both* love you 🙂 I couldn’t have said it better. Happy to be here supporting this incredible man in HIS incredible career adventure.
Connection issues @Carmel. I hear you – I had a scare on Friday night – I thought my hard drive died and I hadn’t backed up for a few months. I somehow have got the little machine working, but I”m very very nervous.
Oh No Maria! My connection issues are nothing compared to the possibility of loosing your HDD. You know that bit of hardware is the window to all our virtual lives. Maybe Michelle can add a side bar countdown clock reminding you to back up or something.
On ya for getting it working again
