This just in from Jeff Sneider of Variety

According to Deadline:

EXCLUSIVE: As packages firm up for AFM, here’s one that will surely reverberate in Santa Monica. Robert Pattinson is signing on to star with Carey Mulligan in Hold On To Me. The film will be directed by James Marsh, who won an Oscar for the docu Man On Wire and followed with Project Nim.

Pic is based on a true story about a femme fatale who with her boyfriend kidnaps and ransoms the town’s richest man. They bury him in a box and things go horribly awry. Pattinson plays the flashy supporting role of the woman’s life love, Jimmy, who isn’t involved in the crime. The project was scripted by Brad Ingelsby.

Indian Paintbrush’s Steven Rales, Mark Roybal and Michael Pruss are producing with Alexandra Milchan. Also producing is Todd Field, who originally developed the film to direct, but stepped off to helm Creed of Violence for Cross Creek.

Pattinson adds this to an early 2013 schedule that will have him starring opposite Guy Pearce in the David Michod-directed The Rover, and he is also starring in Mission Blacklist, the true story of the U.S. military interrogator responsible for discovering the location of Saddam Hussein in the hunt for the fallen leader. He is repped by WME and 3 Arts.

Plus IMDbPro has this listed as “In Development” – “Nancy and Danny” with a plot:  A woman takes advantage of a hapless guy in an elaborate plot to make money that goes awry.

Ok so Hopscotch Films posted the clip “I’ve have something to tell you” and although we have seen this already, I thought I would post because I have something Bel Ami related to tell you.

 

I spoke with Hopscotch yesterday and asked whether they were planning on doing any special advanced screenings of Bel Ami. prior to its release on 24 May 2012.  Guess what – they asked if we were interested in holding one in Sydney on the evening of 23 May 2012.   The film is yet to be classified, but I”m assuming it will be MA+ so if you are 15 or under you need to let me know.   If we can garner enough interest, and I’m talking about more than 100 of us getting together, then  Hopscotch has offered to provide us with a print of the film and put us in contact with a cinema who would hold the screening.  It’s not free of course, and I’m not saying that because RPAU is planning to make money from this, our policy is and always will be that we don’t make money off Rob in any way shape or form, but I’m saying this because I’m guessing the cinema will charge their normal ticket prices.

It may be that we won’t get enough interest, but I’d like to know what you all think.   I’d love it if Rob’s fans would stand up to show him the support that he deserves.  I know we did it for WFE – we can do it for Georges too – don’t you think.

So you can either post a comment below or email us at robertpattinsonau@gmail.com and let us know if you are interested and whether you can bring others that might not know about our website, but are interested in seeing this film.

We will post a link on the sidebar too to make it easier for everyone to comment.  I’ve told Hopscotch to give us  a few weeks to see what interest is like and then we can go from there.

Here’s hoping Rob’s fans show their support :D  Please let anyone else know that you think might be interested in attending. C’mon we can do it.

PS.  For other States, Hopscotch has said if there is enough interest there it might be possible to organise a screening there too, but we shall see.

PPS.  I think there’s a rumour that Hopscotch might be giving us some posters to give away on the night *giggles*  You know you want one.

 

We’ve been thinking about this for a while and trying to work it out and have a little fun!

So here’s the deal: If you have a favourite Rob photo you’d like enhanced/used in an edit please email this address (robertpattinsonau@gmail.com) with the photo(s).  I’ll accept between 1 and 3 Rob photos to be used in your one edit request and you can give me a favourite quote/lyric or colour you’d like used in there somehow too (if you want!).  You can also just give me a favourite quote/lyric and leave it to me to do something with it in a Rob related way.  It’s totally up to you.  Deadline for sending things in will be Friday 6^th April and if all goes to plan the edits will be posted here for Friday 20^th April.  I’ll pick a maximum of 6 to work with depending on how many requests we get!!  Anyone interested??

Please don’t be too specific in your requests because I guarantee it will lead to disappointment on your side.  Also, this isn’t something I can keep going back to tweak if you don’t like it – we are just doing this for fun, ok?  :)  We’ll just see how it goes this time and take it from there.  There will be more posts like this if there’s interest.

Remember this is RPAU so please don’t provide me with any non-work related photos and let’s just focus on Rob in all his glory – there’s plenty to choose from!!

And finally, please note that I can’t make Rob naked.  Just saying.  😉

How long have we waited to see these words.  I was about to go to sleep when I received an email from Sue to say that Hopscotch’s website shows the Aussie release date as 24 May 2012. 

Hopscotch tweeted on Friday that they would let us know this month, and well I’m sure they will tweet something about this soon, but I’m happy to go with it since it’s on their website.  UPDATE:  Hopscotch just confirmed to RPAU in an email that this indeed is the Australian release date – dear lord I’m loving Monday 5 March!   If I hear differently I’ll let you know.

Georges I’m so glad you are finally arriving on our shores.

Sue thanks again for the heads up.  Glad you were lurking.

PS.  I’ll just sticky post this here for a bit – scroll down for new posts 😀
