Corker of a week. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Keep an eye on the UK list of cinemas as I am updating that almost on a daily basis.  I have also updated the reviews and I came across this little gem of an article from Den of Geek “Films to Beat the Summer Blockbuster Fatigue” and they had this to say about Robert “it’s a compelling subject with some serious talent behind it. We might not have said so a few years ago, but we’d also recommend it based on the involvement of Robert Pattinson, who’s lost his sparkly lustre from his Twilight days but accrued some serious credibility from subsequent projects like this one.”  How glorious is that B&W still in UHQ and also the full version that we have been spoilt with this week.  I don’t care how may variations there are of that picture – they are all spectacular. Thank you as always to Posh. I came across an article and photoshoot of Brady Corbet in a kimono, but that’s not what caught my attention, it was the fact that they said there would be a further roll out in the US of the film. QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  September sees the DVD|Bluray release for New Zealand and Spain. Mumbai is having a screening today as part of a Werner Herzog Retrospective.  THE LOST CITY OF Z:  World Premiere – New York Film Festival.  Woo hoo. I posted an interesting podcast discussion with Ann Thompson and Eric Kohn from Indiewire about what it means for this film to be at the Festival especially without a US distributor. Although Indiewire is also saying they expect a 2017 release.  I also noticed that Leone Film Group has The Lost City of Z listed under “next releases“.  We already knew that Leone Film was the Italian distributor, if you want to keep up with releases, you can always check out our Film page. THE ROVER: The movie that keeps on giving. I love that there are still photos yet to be unleashed.  IN OTHER NEWS:  Michelle still keeping us Aussies up to date with FOXTEL sharing the Robert love. We had a glimpse at one of Robert’s costars in Damsel Joe Billingiere via his casting agent Central Artists,  This appeases my soul for when I come across Brimstone news/photos and now I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on cowboy Rob. For those interested in photography, Aidan Monaghan (the stills photographer for some of my fave films and LCOZ) did an interview with Adorama TV where he gives some fascinating insight of what his job involves.  Part 2 is coming so stay tuned.  The AVClub had an interesting interview with Brady Corbet – no Rob mention, but if you are interested in Brady there is quite a bit of background.  Next week sees the screenings of The Childhood of a Leader at on Monday 8 Aug #MIFF16 and on Friday at Chichester (UK) and Miami Cinematheque.  Curious to see what else next week brings … until then.
