Robert Pattinson “The Stars at Noon” Scheduled to Film April 2021

According to Screen Daily:

Further previously announced projects in pre-production include Claire Denis’s Nicaragua-set romantic thriller Stars At Noon, starring Robert Pattinson and Margaret Qualley, which is due to shoot in April 2021.

It makes sense given that filming for The Batman is said to be continuing until February 2021. Also @Monsieur_HJ tweeted this recently:

RT Features to produce Robert Pattinson “The Stars at Noon”

Telecine interviewed Rodrigo Teixeira, who as you might recall through RT Features produced “The Lighthouse”, on their Instagram live where along with talking about how great Rob is, revealed he would also be producing “The Stars At Noon ” in 2021. Below is the transcription thanks to Robert Pattinson Portugal:

“He is one of the sweetest stars he has. We shared the same house for 3 months, two houses sprouted.

Where did you guys shoot?

– Nova Scotia, Canada. And we became very friend. Very much. We had dinner together every night, ate soup, had a beer, chat. This guy is cool asf, fine people, smart, is a cinephile, has good taste in cinema, humble, is an amazing guy, any image I had of this kid until I work with him I see him another way. I’m a fan of his I think he’s awesome, he deserves a lot of success you know, because he’s a very normal guy, he’s a nice guy.

And very good actor, full of qualities, and resources as an actor, he is wonderful.

Very much. He surrenders, makes film for young director, he’s an amazing guy. He is a very modern actor. I really like him.

And you will still have the opportunity to be able to work with him again, which will be cool, you will meet again.

Yes we end up getting close, you end up creating some friends in the middle of this process, you end up saying “look let’s make a movie together” and you find the material and send to me. You end up creating relationship. With Robert Pattinson if I think there will be something that is too cool for him, if I send it I’m sure he will stop and read and will chat me.”

Robert Pattinson collaboration with Claire Denis obtains support from Arte France Cinéma

From Cineuropa:

The second selection committee for 2020 of Arte France Cinéma (headed by Olivier Père) has chosen to engage in co-production and in pre-buying on five projects.

…

Arte France Cinéma will also support Claire Denis’ The Stars at Noon, which Wild Bunch has already begun pre-selling in February at the EFM of the Berlinale (read the news). The director has written the script with Léa Mysius, freely adapting the eponymous American novel from Denis Johnson. The story centres on the passionate relationship between a young American journalist working in a troubled country in central America, between corruption, political intrigue and disastrous relationships, and an English businessman watched by the CIA. The cast should include Robert Pattinson (already heading the cast in Denis’ previous film High Life [+]) and Margaret Qualley, with production handled by Curiosa Films.

Claire Denis Provides Update on Robert Pattinson #TheStarsatNoon

C7nema spoke with Claire Denis who is to be honored at the upcoming “Master of the Reel” which runs online from 17 April to 2 May 2020. This is what Claire had to say her film starring Rob and Margaret Qualley “The Stars at Noon”:

In an interview with C7nema, the French filmmaker who will be honored at Visions du Réel hopes that the world will resume its audiovisual activities to film ‘ The Stars At Noon ‘

…

And how is your new project, The Stars At Noon , based on the novel by Denis Johnson about an incursion into Nicaragua in the 1980s?

We have to wait for the activities of the world to return to normal and wait for the circulation of people to return to normal, safely. We already have the financing and I have already chosen the locations. I closed with Pattinson, who needs to end his commitments with Warner Bros., with “Batman”, today stopped. And I already have an actress, Margareth Qualley. The script already exists. Now is to see how the schedules look.

You can read the whole article by clicking on link above where there is a High Life mention. You can also check out some of Claire’s earlier works which will be part of the “Master of the Reel’ by also clicking that link above. The selected films will be available to watch for free. Claire will also be giving a masterclass with a date to be confirmed for those interested.

Robert Pattinson Featured in Total Film

Rob is featured on a one page spread in the April edition of Total Film called “Hot Right Now”. Click on the photo to read the full article. I like that they say “With another Denis teamup for The Stars at Noon also incoming, looks like both halves of Pattinson are in (shadow) play for the long haul.”

You better believe it!
