Robert Pattinson: RPAU Week in Review 28 March to 3 April 2016

April 3rd, 2016 / 0 comments

Release dates, teaser clips and HQs|UHQsÂ is what we were blessed with this week. And I’m going to add this disclaimer here – if there’s typos in this roundup it’s because I can’t think straight now that I’ve met Henry Costin.Â LOST CITY OF Z:Â Well what an amazing way to end off the week. Â Cannot thank @Robstraydog enough for finding that clip. Â Also Cindy for sending me a DM and @deesoonz for tweeting me which I missed because I saw the DM notification. Thank you thank you thank you. What a spectacular trailer and the worst thing is – how long we might have to wait to see the final product. End of this year or early next year for Aussies according to my last contact with Studio Canal Australia. I always wondered if they were releasing around award season and after seeing that trailer I’m leaning towards they probably are. Â Thanks to JulesÂ for doing screencaps whilst I was making those gifs.Â DIOR: Â When you wake up on 1 April and Rob’s Dior Homme campaign is in The New York Journal and you know it ain’t no April Fool’s joke.Â Meanwhile did Dior punk us with the 1 April Autumn campaign release date? Looks like my tweet of me waiting for them to unleash won’t be too far from the truth. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: Â Finally, loads of news for this film this week. Â Looks like Italy is gettingÂ a theatrical release of the film after all, but that won’t be until September 2016, but if you wereÂ in Rome this week there was aÂ special screenings on 31 March. Sookie Pictures finally unleashed the “Gertie Will You Please Not Marry Me” teaser and also the sitting around the campfire clip. How could I not makeÂ a few gifs. I do love Rob’s performance as TE Lawrence – haters be damned. Egypt has also released the film on 31 March 2016 in line with the Middle East releases we mentioned last week. The following countries have also joined in the release queue – Ethiopia, South Africa & AlbaniaÂ in April, Turkey in May and although we’ve known for a few weeks that Australia will be seeing the film in June, I did love seeing it on the coming soon sections of Event cinemas, hence why I thought I’d put together a post which I will update with Australian cinemas screening the film. Greece’s distributors did tell me that they are also planning to release in July – I think that’s an exclusive! We posted an untagged version of the promo pic that’s currently being used, thanks to Italia Film Middle East and UHQ of those two behind the scenes shots featuring Rob. I’ve also tweeted screening schedules for UAE Â hereÂ and here and Cairo,Â Qatar, Lebanon and Bahrain. If anyone sees it listed at their local cinema, give me us a shout out so we can add. I also tweeted a link to a Polish cinemaÂ screening times – tickets won’t be available to purchase until 5 April though. CinemaCity Syria confirmed to me too this week that the distributor has changed the date a few times hence why they removed from their website, but are waiting for a final confirmation release date. So stay tuned.Â Also the international movie review post was updated. I loved how Gulf News mentioned the laughing of Rob’s TE Lawrence in Berlin and then defended Rob by saying they thought RobÂ “carried off this (minor) role well enough”. High praise from the Middle East. Â No offence Berlin, but I think I’d rather take their opinion of how TE Lawrence felt in traditional headdress than your giggles.Â LIFE: Forbes Russia reviewed the film and said this about Rob “”Photographer played by Robert Pattinson – a good versatile actor”. Versatile. Yes he is indeed. Argentina has a release date – excites, even if it is September. I tweeted a link to screenings in Moscow for the next week. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Russia is getting in on the act with release dates and is proposing to unleash this film in September. Â I had confirmation from the distributor, Volga, that they definitely have plans to release it in their autumn so the September date is definite … for now. Â GOOD TIME: There seems to have been a slight shuffle of cast members. HIGH LIFE: Â Looks like Serbia has a distributor. Lucky ducks. Â IN OTHER NEWS: I tweeted a link to an Werner Herzog articleÂ on creativity, self-reliance, and making a living out of what you love. Â Another week where Posh spoils us with HQ|UHQ pics – this time from the LA Press Conference for Water for Elephants. I never tire of seeing new photos from previousÂ events. Â Never. . And saying that,Â Ian Beck shared a new BTS photo of Rob from the Normandy set for The Summer House. Lovely. So I’ll end off tonight with the hope that Dior spoil us next week but yo know what – I’m not too fussed because I’ll be somewhere watching the LCOZ trailer every opportunity I get. Until then …
