Rob sure is in some esteemed company at Leffest this year – David Cronenberg, Abel Ferrara, Don DeLillo.

 “Robert Pattinson embodies the modern actor, a star who’s hard to pin down, going from Twilight to Cosmopolis, & now appearing in Good Time”

 

Deauville Festival of American Cinema 2017 is paying tribute to Robert Pattinson with screenings of Good Time, The Lost City of Z, Life, Cosmopolis and Twilight.  Robert will also be attending to present Good Time which strangely is out of competition, but perhaps falls outside because of Cannes.  I guess this makes up for Robert pulling out last year. Below are the relevant pages from Deauville’s programme although the actual sessions times are yet to be provided:

  

Below is Alexandre Maras’ tweet which translated reads “Robert #Pattinson will be #Deauville2017 where he will present his new film #Goodtime Preview.”

Robert Pattinson debuting his films in Cannes since 2012

Robert Pattinson has had 3 movies premiere at Cannes - Cosmopolis and Maps to the Stars in competition, The Rover as midnight special.  Three debuts and he’s about to add one more with Good Time.  Let’s relive one of my favourite interviews of Robert and David Cronenberg from 2012.

 

and how about some reviews | comments.  The Wrap was spot on in 2014 with their prediction.

The Guardian thought that Cosmpolis “is flat-out marvellous, a 21st-century American horror story, haunted by “the glow of cyber-capitalism”. David Cronenberg does an elegant job of converting Don DeLillo’s chilly, mysterious prose to the screen, while the performances have just the right wonky, off-kilter intensity.

While Robbie Collins from The Telegraph UK thought “Robert Pattinson gives a sensationally controlled central performance in David Cronenberg’s film Cosmopolis”

In 2014, the media had this to say:

Variety (2014):

Whoever worried this year’s Cannes Film Festival was short on stars only needed to take a stroll through the Vanity Fair Party on Saturday night at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, which looked like the Oscars in May.

….

But the actor with the biggest smile on his face may have been Robert Pattinson, who earned some of his best reviews yet for “The Rover,” the Australian action film directed by David Michod which screened to critics over the weekend. He also had strong buzz going into Monday’s competition debut of “Maps to the Stars,” a drama directed by David Cronenberg.

“He’s incredibly respectful,” Pattinson told Variety, saying he would love to collaborate with Cronenberg again. The two first worked together on 2012′s “Cosmopolis.”

With the 2017 Cannes Film Festival quickly approaching, let’s take a look back at one of Rob’s interviews from the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. He attended the premiere of Cosmopolis, and in this interview with ET, he chats about some of the films he’s seen countless times (we’ll forgive him for “Corky Romano” ) and adjusting to not having the Twilight films as a safety net as he moved on with his career choices. Don’t think you need to worry Rob. You’re moving along brilliantly.

Love that Cosmopolis is included once again in Rob’s movies screening on FOXTEL. Here are the listings so far for February & I will update once more are added.
