I love Xmas at RPAU as it gives us an opportunity to thank all who have supported not just us but more importantly Rob over the past 12 months. Haven’t we had a ride this year. Rob popping up in the most unexpected places. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: 2016 looks like it’s going to be the year of release for this film given how many changes there have been over the past 8 months. Iraq is now in line with Lebanon on its 21 January release. Not holding my breath though. Israel will also be seeing the film in February. Love that we were spoilt with that variation of the T E Lawrence still. Keep them coming I say. Austria is also getting their DVD/Blurays on the same day as Germany. Funny how the majority of us are still waiting to even see this film. So bizarre. Switzerland is also releasing the German version of the Bluray|DVD. LIFE: Japan doing another stellar job of spoiling Rob fans.  What about those new stills/bts. I hope the film actually makes the cut for the nominations of art directors guild awards. It truly is a beautiful film. Looks like Sweden is getting Life straight DVD with its release on 8 February 2016. Shame it didn’t get a theatrical release.  And the UK finally has a release date for their Bluray|DVD.  Speaking of release dates for Bluray|DVD Switzerland is also releasing the film. RPAU 12 Days of Christmas: I hope everyone is enjoying the treats and the fantastic gifs Jules has put together for our celebrations. We were so grateful that Transmission gave us 3 DVDs to giveaway, I just wish I had a copy for everyone that has entered. Don’t forget you have until 11.59 pm AEST to do so. Good luck. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: I’m so excited that Sweden is getting a screening of this film in February, mainly because it could be the start of a slow unfurling of it around the world. *prettypleaseSFFprettyplease* And I made the previous comment before I knew that there would also be a special screening at the Rotterdam FF. This movie is going to be slow burn. You watch. IN OTHER NEWS: I love that we are still being spoilt with HQ treats from The Rover promo. Love them. Thanks Posh for the beauties you bring. Also, I tweeted an article where Anton Corbijn mentions about how disappointed he was about the multi platform release of Life. It’s an interesting insight into how directors don’t always have control over how their movie is distributed or promoted. Shame really seeing as it’s their vision. I did like that he said “I’m happy the film exists, I’m happy it got made, I’m happy I have enough say in how the film looks”. Anton did work hard in promoting this film almost completely on his own.  So this time next week we will all have celebrated the holidays. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful time … let’s see what the upcoming week surprises us with.  Until then.
