It had been a relatively quiet week until Saturday, that is, when Robert made a somewhat surprise appearance at Kris Van Assche’s Dior show in Paris. So let’s see what has been happening shall we.  THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Things are heating up for this film.  How great is it when you start seeing cinemas adding the film to their “coming soon” and New Yorkers at least know they will get to see the film at the IFC Center. Some great reviews coming out of both the Sydney and Edinbrugh Film Festivals, haven’t seen too many from BAMCinemaFest as yet (although Paris could be a distraction so I’ll keep looking this week).  In any event, I have updated the review post. IMDbPro updated confirming “limited” theatrical release for the US, but it’s same day VOD so at least if it’s not at a cinema near you you can hopefully watch online; although it won’t have quite the same intensity I feel.  Filmin updated their page and added a few news stills and I love that little teaser trailer.  Thanks to Posh we had a few of those stills in much better quality. She spoils us so. For those who have been waiting for news on whether a soundtrack would be released – wait no further. Russia released it’s movie poster and also brought the release date forward to 8 September 2016.  That’s two Robert films premiering in Russia in September. Don’t forget to get your tickets to the screening for Atlantida Film Festival.  The Munich Film Fest included the film at no 1  on films you should see at their festival and speaking of film festivals, Israel has 3 screenings as part of the film’s debut at the 33rd Jerusalem Film Festival. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: Russia how exciting – you’re finally getting the film on 29 September.  The bluray & dvd are coming soon to Poland – I’ll keep an eye on the websites for an actual release date. We posted a while back that the DVD would be released in Italy in early July – according to Film in DVD the Italian version will include “deleted scenes”.  How great if there’s some unseen Robert footage. There’s still some cinemas in Australia that will screen the film in July & August. I’ll update that post as and when I come across any more. Salty Popcorn finally posted their review – remember I mentioned Vertigo and I met up with Jason the owner and saw the film at a media screening. Jason didn’t disappoint – although he wasn’t a fan of the film overall he did say “Sadly there isn’t enough scenes with Lawrence but I would happily pay money to see an entire Lawrence movie starring Pattinson.”” Told you his reaction to Rob’s performance was gold.  The film was released in Thailand on Thursday and I have tweeted a couple of promo pics – which I love. DIOR: Robert in Paris with Kris Van Assche – see there is a God. How fabulous does Robert look F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. Thanks to Posh yet again for feeding our HQ|UHQ hunger. So much gorgeousness so little time. The Seattle Times did a great write up as well where they stated “Pattinson, who has successfully moved in a more mature direction since starring in the hit “Twilight†franchise that grossed over $3 billion worldwide, is now a veritable asset in the serious, high-fashion industry.”  Robert’s been an asset for years to anything he’s involved with IMO. THINGS I TWEETED: Peter Lindbergh tweeted a pic of Robert from his photoshoot – not new but always worth a look … right? Fandango has set up a page for The Childhood of a Leader and the film was included in 10 films to see at BAMCinemaFest.  HookedonFilms mentioned in an article entitled “The Victors & Victims of Harry Potter” that Robert’s performance “in … The Rover … showcased [Rob’s] longevity as an actor”. Thought I would share that since I know a lot of us have a soft spot for that film. Anyway it’s been an exhausting 24 hours – let me thank Michelle too for the awesome work she did early into the morning today posting Rob pics *mwah*.  So let’s see what unfolds next week … until then.
