Robert Pattinson Starrer Good Time to be distributed in Turkey by Fabula Films

According to Cinando, Fabula Films (Turkey) will distribute the film.  Fabula Films also RT’d A24’s Good Time Cannes announcement so I’m going to take that as confirmation.  Great news for Turkey.

 

Robert Pattinson Starrer “GOOD TIME” now complete on IMDb as at 15 April 2017

 

It was only a matter of time.  I also do like seeing that Cannes release date.

They also have an updated synopsis:

Un braquage qui tourne mal… Connie réussit à s’enfuir mais son frère Nick est arrêté. Alors que Connie tente de réunir la caution pour libérer son frère, une autre option s’offre à lui : le faire évader. Commence alors dans les bas-fonds de New York, une longue nuit sous adrénaline

Google translate:

A bank robbery that goes wrong… Connie managed to escape, but his brother Nick is arrested. While Connie is trying to gather the bail to free her brother, another option is offered to him: make escape. Thus begins in the slums of New York City, a long night under adrenaline

The Safdie Brothers and A24 treated us to an intriguing first look at Robert Pattinson as “Connnie” in their upcoming film “Good Time”, which has been selected to appear at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Can’t think of a better way to start off the weekend.

GOOD TIME, the film we’ve been slaving over for the past 19 months, will world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in the main competition! Here’s a still of #RobertPattinson as Connie Nikas. He and everyone else in the film are incredible. @a24 will release it in the US. This movie couldn’t have happened without many great HARD working people, who know who they are.. Hope we made you proud. (Re: the above picture, for fellow heads: it’s a crop, we shot 2.35 on 35mm) (( I CANT TAG EVERYONE, IG won’t let me)

Excitement follows Safdie Bros Robert Pattinson Starrer “Good Time” in Official Competition at Cannes 2017

I’ve collated some of the initial media comments announcing that the Safdie Bros GOOD TIME will be in official competition at Cannes 2017.  I’m liking the positive reaction:

After 19 months of slaving with GOOD TIME, it’s a surreal dream to play in competition @Festival_Cannes. We can’t wait to share it.

A SURPRISE FROM A24

Most of the surprises of Cannes typically arrive on screen, but the appearance of Moonlight label A24’s Good Time, by Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie, seemed more of a wish than a reality in the run-up to the announcement. Described by its star Robert Pattinson as “really hardcore kind of Queens, New York, mentally damaged psychopath, bank robbery movie,” it co-stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Barkhad Abdi and brings with it a gust of fresh air to the red carpet.

Indiewire:

Safdies Crack Competition

New York-based sibling directors Joshua and Benny Safdie have quietly snuck into the Cannes ranks over the years. Their debut “The Pleasure of Being Robbed” was the only American film in Directors’ Fortnight in 2007, and it was followed up there by “Daddy Longlegs.” Their more recent work has screened at other festivals, although the gritty junkie drama “Heaven Knows What” had the kind of scope and sophistication of directors on the brink of wider acclaim. Now they’re about to get it with “Good Time,” a competition selection starring Robert Pattinson alongside Benny Safdie as thieving siblings escaping a threat to their lives over the course of one tense night; acting opposite Pattinson, Safdie is said to portray a mentally disabled character, a risky move for any actor but one that will be an especially intriguing gamble for these audacious filmmakers to pull off.

“Good Time” is one of four films from A24, riding high after its Oscar success with “Moonlight.” The company also has Yorgos Lanthimos’ reportedly unsettling “The Killing of the Sacred Deer” in competition, while “Prayer Before Dawn” and John Cameron Mitchell’s sci-fi love story “How to Talk to Girls at Parties” are heading to midnight. A24’s substantial presence this year, alongside the Netflix news, is further proof of Cannes reflecting major shifts in the film business.

LA Times

A range of unconventional American players — from Sofia Coppola to the Safdie brothers, Noah Baumbach to Netflix — will populate this year’s Cannes Film Festival competition lineup. …

But the announcement particularly marks a next phase for the American independent movement, with Baumbach and the Safdies stepping into the Cannes competition limelight for the first time.

The Safdies, the indie filmmakers behind such quirkfests as “Daddy Longlegs” and “The Pleasure of Being Robbed,” take perhaps the biggest notch up with “Good Time,” starring Robert Pattinson and Barkhad Abdi; many of their festival appearances have been of the more niche sort. (In France this time of year, they’ve had previous entries in the Cannes-parallel Directors Fortnight.)

Their movie and others will seek the favor of a jury headed by Pedro Almodovar, himself a Cannes mainstay, from a country (Spain) that this year has…no movies in competition.
