Robert Pattinson may have wanted to be an actor without being a celebrity. But then he turned his fame into its own kind of performance. “I can’t believe this is still going,” he said in an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine. https://t.co/vvTtIFf4Oe pic.twitter.com/qapbbM7Kkn

We posted a few days ago that Empire had an exclusive edition featuring Mickey17. Thanks to Chrissy sending me the scans below we can now read the full feature. I love how Bong refers to Rob focussing on the project and his character as watching “a beast go after its prey”.

PS. I forgot to post the subscriber version of the cover the other day – so here it is

According to Deadline, Rob is involved in producing a new film with Lance Oppenheim. As with Possession, there are rumours Rob may also star, but we will have to wait for confirmation of that aspect. Rob is a busy busy bee which is what we like to hear. From Deadline:

Veteran documentary filmmaker Lance Oppenheim (Ren Faire) is pivoting to fiction with his next project, Primetime, which will be financed and produced by A24, with Robert Pattinson among the producers.

While not much is known about the film’s genre or plot, it’s said to follow a journalist who takes on an underworld of crime and changes television forever. We’ve heard from multiple sources that the project takes inspiration from To Catch a Predator, the NBC program put on as part of Dateline, as well as its host Chris Hansen, though the studio wouldn’t confirm. Sources also had Pattinson attached to star, though others clarified that there’s no deal in that respect for the moment. Stay tuned.

The Drama director, Kristoffer Bogli, posted the photo below on his IG story today – excitement. Seems the film is in production.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Alana Haim has lined up two back to back feature gigs involving some bold-faced names.” What is interesting is that they have confirmed that Rob will start in The Drama with Zendaya:

“Haim has started production on The Mastermind, an art heist drama starring Josh O’Connor and directed by Kelly Reichardt. She will then jump into The Drama, a feature from Dream Scenario filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli that also stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.”

According to IMDB, filming is rumoured to commence on Monday 21 October 2024 with filming locations in Singapore, Tokyo, London, Paris and Boston. As we know, I’m not going to get excited until we actually see or hear that Rob is on set, but Zendaya is most definitely in Boston.

Zendaya was photographed on Newbury Street in Back Bay earlier this week, reportedly in Boston to film a new movie with Robert Pattinson. https://t.co/WcCQZEsXfz
