To be honest, I’m not sure how I feel. Rob dropping out because of other commitments means we could be getting new film news soon or The Batman promo. I’m always looking for that silver lining. Screen Daily reported today that Taron Egerton has replaced Rob in Claire Denis’ “The Stars at Noon”. So I guess it wasn’t a typo that Rob wasn’t mentioned. It is the first time in a long time that Rob has had nothing in his “Projects in Development” on his IMDbPro page: From Screen Daily:

UK actor Taron Egerton has signed to co-star opposite Margaret Qualley in Claire Denis’ Nicaragua-set thriller Stars At Noon, following the departure of Robert Pattinson due to other shooting commitments.

…

Egerton replaces Pattinson who was keen to work with Denis again after their first collaboration in the 2018 deep space drama High Life.

The actor has been forced to walk away from the project due to other commitments, following delays in the Stars At Noon shoot due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled for spring 2020, filming will now take place in Panama in October 2021.

    I’m sad for us and I’m sad for Claire Denis – I have no doubt she waited for Rob as long as she could. I’m sure there’ll be another opportunity for them to work together in the future.

    I hadn’t seen that Aline so thanks for sharing. I love the French film industry and also TV – I watched Call My Agent which I thought was fantastic.

    IDK. I kind of had bad vibes about this movie.
    The character not suiting Rob. Maybe it is for the best.

    I wonder if he needed to change his looks for the part and the Batman thing would not have made it possible.

    I’m just happy I don’t have to sit through another film where he dies in the end!
