I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas | Holiday. Let’s get right into it as we slide towards the end of what I think was a pretty great year Rob wise. LIFE:  Looks like France is going to have to wait an extra month to enjoy their bluray|dvds. Unlike Canada who is getting their DVD on 12 January 2016. I’ve also updated US & Canada screenings and added new cinemas for January 2016. The DVD release for Canada probably explains why there’s not too many cinemas planning on showing it in the New Year. Caitlin Cronenberg gave us a little Christmas cheer by posting a new still of Rob. She’s always so good to us.  Cineville Amsterdam is also screening the film on 28 and 30 December 2015. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: I love that Germany has been holding screenings of this film since September, talk about supporting your local talent. Some other countries should take a leaf out of this. The official US Facebook posted a new still of Rob as T E Lawrence. You know it must be Christmas since we are well and truly being spoilt. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: We mentioned last week that it was included as part of the International Film Festival Rotterdam and now we have confirmation that it will be the closing film. That’s bloody marvelous and also an incredible experience with the live orchestra. GOOD TIME: Josh Safdie and Buddy Duress were interviewed by Chillin Island mainly to talk about Heaven Knows What and Buddy’s incarceration at Riker’s. I was hoping Buddy would be in Good Time, but it doesn’t seem so. Josh however did talk ever so briefly about when they will be filming. RPAU 12 Days of Christmas: How great was Michelle’s 10 minutes of unadulterated bliss  of fave moments of Rob – wonderful stuff. How spoilt are we too with Jules’ incredibly gorgeous calendar. Can’t thank her enough for the time and effort she puts into that for us. Hope it doesn’t end up on eBay like last year though. We have our spies out. Congratulations also to our DVD winners. It was tough only being able to select 3, I wish I could have given all of you a DVD.  IN OTHER NEWS: I noticed on Monday that Cinando listed Artificial Intelligence as a distributor for the US with regard to The Trap. Focus Features has always been associated with distributing the film, so I’m wondering if they are working alongside Focus in getting overseas distribution. Hopefully more news comes to light.  Maps to the Stars was no 18 in GQ Spain’s 20 Best Films of 2015 – smart peeps. Aussies if you missed Twilight tonight on ABC2 don’t worry it’s on again tomorrow around 11.20 pm (from memory).  As 2015 draws to a close, I’m curious to see how we round off the year *whisperssomephotoshootouttakeswouldbenice*. Until then …
