Weekly update of all career news for Robert Pattinson

Cannes wasn’t just an amazing experience to watch, but Robert also gave us the most incredible news – he’s working on another project with David Michôd and a film with Ciro Guerra. We already knew about Antonio Campos and Claire Denis. So how many projects are up his sleeve now – Denis, Hogg, Campos, Michôd and Guerra. Not to mention he is also supposed to be working with Mona Fastvold – and if they ever happen Assayas and Korine (still holding out hope – look how long it took for them to make The Lost City of Z). Wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in another Safdie Bros film either (although we know it won’t be Uncut Gems). Anyway this week’s wrap up might look like there isn’t a lot, but there was so much goodness out of Cannes that I’m just linking the Masterpost below.  GOOD TIME:  Josh Safdie posted a BTS photo from Good Time with Buddy Duress to celebrate Buddy’s birthday. By the way I did not realise that A24 is also releasing the film in the UK.  Josh mentioned it in a comment on the poster thread on his instagram.  Lucky Parisians had a screening of Good Time on Saturday night.  The toilet talk – was hoping we would get the full story. Josh and Benny also spoke with ScreenDaily about Robert’s performance – I can’t even begin to tell you how much I need to see this film given that they’ve compared him to Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon. That is seriously one of my top 5 films. It’s funny because the trailer made me feel like I was watching a 70’s classic. I wonder if we will get Good Time before The Lost City of Z.  Cannes – as I said above, check out the Masterpost for all the Cannes goodness. It’s impossible for me to link every single tweet I retweeted praising Robert’s performance, but I swear there is less than a handful who didn’t see what everyone else did and that is the performance of Robert’s career.  I’m not going to talk Oscar awards buzz because I always feel that is a bit premature - so let’s just focus on what award MIGHT be possible and that’s Best Actor at Cannes. It will be announced around 7.15 pm Sunday (which is around 3.15 am Monday morning – so hopefully I wake up to some amazing news).  Fingers crossed for Robert, but even if he doesn’t win Best Actor – he won Cannes because you can’t really buy the buzz that the Safdies and Robert have created. IN OTHER NEWS:  If you are in NY on 2 June make sure you go to Metrograph to appreciate one of Claire Denis’ films on the big screen. COMING UP NEXT WEEK: The Lost City of Z is being released in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia on 1 June 2017 and Taiwan, China and Estonia on 2 June 2017. It was supposed to be released in the Philippines on 31 May, but it’s disappeared off the radar and I’m getting radio silence. Stay tuned though – surely it will turn up eventually. And I know it’s early days, but I’ve set up a film page for The Souvenir where I will add all relevant information – in case you want to bookmark. See you next Sunday.
