The Playlist has included two of Robert Pattinson’s films in their wishlist for films that might have their world premieres at film festivals this fall:

“Good Time”
The Safdie Brothers’ “Heaven Knows What” was a total surprise — a film that few were aware of until it premiered at Venice two years ago and proceeded to blow everybody’s socks off. The duo shot their latest film at the start of the year, a ‘neo-grindhouse’ crime thriller about a bank robber trying to stay free, with some A-list backing thanks to star Robert Pattinson. The film’s long since wrapped, and given their history at Venice, we reckon we’ll see them there again this time in the main competition.

“The Lost City Of Z”
We have to say, after a sales trailer leaked earlier in the year, we were expecting to see James Gray’s “The Lost City Of Z” at Cannes, given that he’s such a favorite there. But word is it wasn’t ready, which would appear to make a Venice debut for the director for his period adventure, starring Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland and (*resigned sigh*) Charlie Hunnam, more likely. Gray’s stuck to Cannes since “The Yards” sixteen years ago but “Little Odessa” won the Silver Lion on the Lido, and the stage would seem to be set for a return in that direction. Going straight to TIFF could be possible too, but Venice seems very likely to us.

Well we won’t have to wait too long to see if this wishlist meets our own.

I have been looking back over the 6 months and then 12 months for a few years now.  I know I do the weekly wrap ups but sometimes it’s just great to see what appearances, and mostly surprise ones of late,  and/or news we have encountered since 1 January 2016.  And it didn’t take us long in this new year for us to see DiorRobv2. Peter Lindbergh’s photoshoot was finally unleashed as was the Intense City Dior campaign and boy did it sizzle and live up to its “Intense” name. Robert’s films The Lost City of Z, The Childhood of a Leader and The Trap were mentioned in numerous “Most Anticipated” lists.  Caitlin Cronenberg shared a BTS pic from Cosmopolis because sharing is caring.  We had an update on Good Time filming and MadRiver joined to co-produce The Trap.  Posh started spoiling us in January with some MQ Remember Me, Cannes Cosmopolis, 2012 Photoshoot and Details photoshoot outtakes.  And Dior were still spoiling us with the Intense Campaign unleashing BTS photos and a video for the Making of the campaign. Sizzle sizzle. January finished off by giving us a new Queen of the Desert still.  February kicked off by giving us a potential Lost City of Z release date for France, more funding for High Life and a possible May filming schedule and a special screening of The Childhood of a Leader at Berlinale.  The Childhood of a Leader found a UK|Ireland distributor, Studio Canal Australia hinted to a wide release for The Lost City of Z, Life was released in Russia and Robert was nowhere to be found.  Harmony Korine teased in an interview that he might be filming The Trap in May.  Hmmm yes well … we all know how that turned out.  Dale Armin Johnson, one of the producers of The Lost City of Z, shared his set photo with Robert.  Who doesn’t love extreme beardy Rob.   February surprised us even more than January because nobody was expecting the Dior Autumn Ready to Wear Campaign and certainly not the Dior photoshoot by Karl Lagerfeld or the Jean-Baptiste Mondino shoot and the cover for Numero Magazine.   We crossed over into March with the Jean-Baptiste portraits which were something else weren’t they.  Brazil also set a release date for The Lost City of Z.  In the meantime, The Childhood of a Leader continued to be released at film festivals.  A few more Karl Lagerfeld pics were unleashed as were a bonanza of photos from the Sydney premiere of The Rover. You know who else spoilt us?  Eric Roberts that lovely brother of Julia because he cheekily unleashed a set photo of himself with Robert from Good Times so we in fact knew that the filming was most definitely in full swing and a few more cast mates were unleashed.  March saw the US eagerly awaiting the release of The Queen of the Desert and so we had a few new stills, but as for the release – well who knows what happened to that. Claire Denis talked about her faith in Robert and we found out that his role in High Life was originally written with Philip Seymour Hoffman in mind. In keeping with surprising us at the beginning of each month April did not disappoint – that sales teaser for The Lost City of Z.  How freaking amazing did that look.  Rob in that river – dreams are made of this haha.  We also were spoilt with “Gertie Will You Please Not Marry Me” teaser from Queen of the Desert thanks to the Korean release.  And still no word about the US.  We were treated to a great BTS photo from The Summerhouse.  Good Time was marked “post production” and The Lost City of Z was marked “complete” on IMDb, although the latter may have been a little premature since it’s now still in ‘post production”.  The Birthday Project in conjunction with The Go Campaign was unleashed for the fandom to support in honour of Robert’s 30th birthday.  May – what can we say about May.  It was the lead up to Robert’s birthday and well we all know The Met Gala is held on the first Monday in May. Who can forget that first picture of Robert – smokin’ is an understatement. We were treated to so many pics of Robert and FKA Twigs.  It was a bonanza.  Robert may not have been returned to Sydney since June 2014, but the Dior King Street Boutique has him sitting front and centre (and I can confirm he’s still there). The GO Campaign #weGOforRob exceeded its set total and hit over $17,000 for Robert’s birthday.  New The Childhood of a Leader stills were unleashed and Caitlin Cronenberg shared another great photo of Robert and Paul from Cosmopolis at Cannes.  You know who else shared a photo – Sirius Satellite Radio from 2008 no less. As we were saying goodbye to May it treated us to a trailer for The Childhood of a Leader that did include scenes from Robert.  Excitement level went up 1000 notches.  Peter Lindbergh also spoilt us with some new Dior photoshoot pics and not only did we get a BTS video for them, but The Lost City of Z gave us a set pic of Rob having his makeup reapplied. Robert also sent a sincere thanks to his fandom for the money raised in honour of his birthday.  Bye bye May you were so good to us.  From there we found ourselves in June and well … Queen of the Desert finally hit our shores, as did The Childhood of a Leader which was in competition at the Sydney Film Festival – unfortunately no Robert this time round *sniffs* and it didn’t win but we did get a pic of Robert and Katie Leung from 2005 GoF promo in Osaka, Japan – again thanks to Posh.  We might not have seen Robert in Sydney, but we definitely saw him towards the end of June – first in a pic with producer Gary Michael Walters then with JW Anderson & A$AP Rocky at their fashion collection after party. We were also treated to a old TF1 interview that we hadn’t seen from France before.  Of course we ended the month of in spectacular style with Robert attending Kris Van Assche’s “Fun Fair” Dior Paris Fashion Show and Dinner.  How amazing did he look.  The US not to be outdone unleashed a different trailer for The Childhood of a Leader. We may not have seen Robert promoting any movies, but we know that he has filmed Good Time and that High Life may be filming in October in Poland.  Let’s not talk about The Trap and well – maybe the US will see Queen of the Desert in the second half of 2016. I hope I haven’t missed anything, but if I have you can check out what has happened so far this year at our RPAU Week in Review master post. Wonder what Robert has up his sleeve for us for the next 6 months.  Can’t wait.

It’s blurry but it’s still Robert having his make up touched up on the set of The Lost City of Z.  How does one get that job – asking for a friend.

Looks like the above date has been changed.  No future date is currently listed.  I checked their YouTube page and there’s no trailer listed either (like there is for Queen of the Desert that is being released in December).

 

It feels like that kind of Friday plus I love beardy Robert.
