Robert Pattinson “High Life” still scheduled to commence filming August 2017

 

We posted back in February, that High Life was set to commence principal photography in August 2017.  This is also confirmed with the latest update from Production Weekly, as is the casting of Lars Eidinger, which we had posted back in June 2016:

Thanks Candy

Mia Goth will star with Robert Pattinson in Claire Denis “High Life”

 

LRM Online recently interviewed Mia Goth as part of her promo for A Cure for Wellness and this is what Mia had to say about High Life:

LRM: So can you talk about your future projects then?

Mia Goth: Well, I have a movie called SUSPIRIA that is directed by Luca Guadagnino. It’s based on the Dario Argento’s SUSPIRIA. It’s a ballerina joining a dance company. And then she soon realizes that this company is a façade for much more sinister things. Then I have a film that we’ll start soon called HIGH LIFE. It is being directed by Claire Denis. It’s about deep space.

LRM: Well, that is something very different from what you were doing before.

Mia Goth: Yeah, I’m really excited.

LRM: Who are you playing there?

Mia Goth: I play a convict.

LRM: Oh? Oh. That is totally different for you.

Mia Goth: Yeah, yeah. [My emphasis]

We mentioned here, that High Life is scheduled for filming in August 2017 and that’s definitely something I’m looking forward to.

UPDATED: 22 February 2017

Collider interviewed Mia Goth – which is where the above interview probably came from.

 

According to Polish Film Magazine, Robert Pattinson “High Life” will be filmed in Poland and Germany and is being developed in conjuction with the British Film Institute and Atlantis in the UK.  I have a vague recollection of reading about that somewhere.

Thanks Posh.

Wild Bunch have included High Life in their pre-production lineup for Berlinale 2017.  More interestingly they show “principal photography August 2017”.

For those worried about exclusion countries – check out our Film page for current distributors.

Thanks Posh.

 

Xavier Beauvois is involved in Claire Denis’ Dark Glasses with Juliette Binoche and it looks like they had a surprise visitor “Robert Pattinson came to say hello to us today. Very cool.” Very cool indeed!

Thanks Mon & Sue for the heads up

More after the cut

Robert Pattinson “High Life” filming possibly delayed

Both The Playlist and The Film Stage are reporting that Claire Denis’s new film “Dark Glasses” which will star Juliette Binoche and Gérard Depardieu will push back the Spring shoot of Robert Pattinson “High Life”.  Dark Glasses will start shooting in a couple of weeks according to France 3 and will be a 7 week shoot with an autumn | fall release (according to The Film Stage).  For how long this will push back the filming – time will tell.  Ioncinema reported this back on 30 December 2017 – I like the way Nicholas Bell looks at it:

Anytime Claire Denis has a new film is cause for pause. Usually taking several years between projects as of late (her last film was 2013’s Bastards), we’re thrilled to see her potentially unveil two new titles over the course of a year. Although High Life was supposed to have gone into production first, it would seem Black Glasses might be the first to reach post—although whether Denis plans on unveiling in 2017 or holding off for a double feature in 2018 is yet to be seen.

In any event, as I said on Twitter, the film was scheduled for a 2018 release.  I’m a patient person.

Of course I’ll keep you posted when more information is to hand.
