Dior Dior it’s a helluva town – oh wait it’s New York – that works too (even if we do know those pics were shot in LA).  DIOR: I thought I would put together a roundup of initial reactions for Intense City and yeah we all agree that it’s one hot advertisement. The video is now “officially” on Dior’s YouTube so go and show them some love. Dior has also officially unleashed Rob’s Dior Homme Intense campaign and aren’t we spoilt for choice as to which new pic is our fave. That polo neck (or as the US like to call them ‘turtleneck”) sweater is edging it’s way to be mine from the BTS pics. I swear how is it that Rob says he wasn’t a very good model, sometimes I forget that he’s actually a film star and not a professional model. We were also spoilt with a couple of photoshoot pics from the 2013 campaign. So dreamy and hot.  And we now have the promo poster in HQ. Thanks Dior. Plus a slightly different version thanks to Peter Lindbergh’s site. Now, let’s get into what’s happening in the world of Rob films. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Brady Corbet is in the running for yet another award at the Göteborg Film Festival and we also find out who the Swedish distributor is – TriArt Films. Sweden is also releasing the film on Rob’s birthday – 13 May 2016. Still keeping my fingers crossed Australia gets it at either Sydney or Melbourne Film Festival. LIFE: Kiwis can now preorder their DVD|Bluray for release next week. As part of the Télérama Film Festival, Mornant will have 2 screenings of the film. Actually, Life will have quite a few screenings across France and I’ve posted ones that I’ve found. I updated my list of US cinemas currently screening in January plus added links to buy tickets. I also listed an Italian cinema screening the film next week. The Netherlands looks like it’s brought forward the DVD release date but is no longer releasing the film on bluray. Boo. LOST CITY OF Z: Included in yet another anticipated list. I’m so excited for this film. Indiewire also did another list of films that need be released this year that I tweeted, that mentions “The Lost City of Z” should find its way to festivals this year. Given its adventure-driven plot, Gray could have some crossover potential here like never before.” Excites. I also tweeted an article from The Tracking Board that mentions Lost City of Z is slated for release this year. QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  @QueenDesert2016 responded to a query of when the film is being released in the US with a March date estimate, guess we will just have to continue to be patient. GOOD TIME: Looks like filming has been pushed back to February – March, thought the early Jan date was a little strange – well for us here in Oz since nobody does any work really until this week. THE TRAP: MadRiver Pictures has come on board to co-produce Harmony’s film *skipsoffindelight* HIGH LIFE: I really love seeing Rob’s films listed in anticipated lists and equally seeing praise given to the directors he chooses. He’s building a great resume isn’t he. IN OTHER NEWS: Well here we are in week 2 of 2016 and it’s a beauty.  We have our first choice for 12 Months of Rob selected and Michelle has certainly made February as difficult as possible.  Remember Me is screening on television in Hungary. I need to revisit that film as I haven’t watched for some time.  And coincidentally we have some MQ pics from the photoshoot back in 2009.  There’s more I know there’s more. We were also spoilt with some black and white pics from Cannes during the Cosmopolis promo. Thanks Posh. Now I wonder what we will be spoilt with next week.  Until then …
