It’s Sydney Film Festival week. Which is probably why I’ve been a little more silent than normal given that I’ve seen 5 films since Friday and I’m soooo looking forward to Tuesday night because that’s “The Childhood of a Leader” night. There’s been some fabulous films – if you get a chance to see Almodovar’s “Julieta”, Dolan’s “It’s Only The End of the World” or Ergüven’s “Mustang” to name a few – do it.  Speaking of great films … THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Germany is having it’s premiere of the film at the Munich Film Festival on 27 June 2016.  Then the lucky Germans get 3 more screenings. I love how much this film is being acknowledged at film festivals – that’s 9 since June. I posted a little video interview of Brady Corbet from Paris. He doesn’t mention Rob but he does talk about the processes of making the film. I know some of you like hearing from the directors. The US no longer has to sit in limbo like it is with Robert’s other film *cough*, this one is being released on 22 July – and Chris Coen posted a cool official poster for the US release on his instagram.  LIFE: Is available to rent or buy in Iceland – I love when I come across information like that.  HIGH LIFE: Well we’re not aware of what’s really happening with this film, but I’m not nervous, I just know sometimes the ducks don’t line up like they planned, but I did think it was worthwhile sharing that article that talks about Klaudia Smieja and her excitement for the upcoming project.  QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  Aussies – you can preorder your Bluray or DVD for its 29 September release – I know some who haven’t been able to get to a screening will love that they now know when they can own Robert of Arabia (thanks Carmel for that moniker). How fabulous that the advertisement for the film made it to the front page of Publico in Portugal.  How could I not share since Ana emailed it to us and her excitement was contagious. Italy is now able to rent the DVD|Bluray and will be able to buy it from 5 July 2016.  I also decided to post some information concerning Australian and international box office – I know some of you like that kind of information too. IN OTHER NEWS: How is it 2 years since the most amazing night of our lives.  Yep The Rover Sydney premiere which I tweeted and posted on instagram as a Throwback Tuesday. It seems to be The Rover kind of week with Canal+Cinema screenings in June and Rolling Stone mentioned it in their article about the US TV adaption of Animal Kingdom by saying “Michod delivered on the promise, too; his follow-up, the dystopian Western The Rover, got outstanding performances out of Pearce and Robert Pattinson.”  Damn straight. I loved Michelle’s choice of Throwback Thursday – Remember Me seems to be this week’s theme. I also love when I’m randomly looking for something and come across a photo of Rob being used to sell – you guessed it – Raybans. They need to just bite the bullet and do what Dior did and have him as their ambassador.  You know they want to. Sorry that I’m not as verbose as usual, but like I said – it’s Sydney Film Festival week – I hope Aussies are enjoying their Queen’s birthday long weekend and so I’ll leave you with this … only 2 more sleeps until I meet Charles Marker, so until next week …
