Robert Pattinson’s films seems to be appearing on a lot of “Anticipated” or “Looking Forward” movie lists.  I know there are some of us that are Doubting Thomas’ when it comes to The Trap and High Life isn’t scheduled until 2018, but I’m pretty chuffed that Robert’s films are making these lists.

Little White Lies has included 3 of films in their “50 Films to Look Forward to in 2017”

11. The Lost City of Z

Eta spring 2017

James Gray’s follow-up to 2014’s The Immigrant tells the true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett’s travels to Amazonia in the 1920s. Hoping to discover a lost civilisation in the treacherous, unchartered jungle, Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) ignores the ridicule he faces from his contemporaries and devotes his life to his work. Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller co-star.

18. The Trap

Eta unknown

Spring Breakers writer/director Harmony Korine is behind this horror/crime-thriller starring James Franco, Robert Pattinson, Al Pacino and Benicio Del Toro. Korine has hinted that the film is the second part of his so-called ‘Florida Trilogy’. This time the action centres on an ex-convict and his quest for revenge against a gangster rapper friend who let him take the fall for a robbery they committed 14 years earlier. [Maria: I believe Franco is no longer involved, but then who knows with this film]

24. High Life

Eta late 2017 [Maria:  Actually High Life is due for release in 2018]

French master Claire Denis helms this Robert Pattinson-starring drama. Set in the future, it casts Pattinson, Patricia Arquette and Mia Goth as a group of criminals who accept a mission in space. In doing so they become the subjects of a human reproduction experiment. We couldn’t be more intrigued by this winning combination.

 

According to IMDbPro it’s Focus Features , but that was when the film first appeared on the radar. According to Cinando it’s Artificial Intelligence Entertainment and I admit that’s been there for some time, but since the film was a no go I hadn’t updated.  Perhaps AIE is now working with Focus Features *shrugs*. In any event, someones on it in the US.

 

According to IMDbPro, the UK office of Fintage House – Film & TV House has the UK distribution rights for Robert Pattinson “The Trap”.  This movie better happen.  Hopefully the other offices follow suit since I spy and Australian contact.  Adding to our list of distributors currently on our Film page

 

 

We already knew that Gucci Mane was involved with this film, but I’m always happy to see cast additions on IMDb.  It does look to me that he has replaced Idris Elba. Happy to see things seem to be moving again for this film. I can’t say that enough.

So this has been an interesting week in relation to dormant projects for Robert.  It’s especially interesting that The Trap has re-emerged today on Robert’s “in production” list on IMDbPro especially since this morning I was reading an article in Nashville Scene about Harmony Korine’s current art exhibition and noticed that it stated that Harmony has moved permanently to Miami.  I immediately thought that was an omen re The Trap and it turns out it was.  We tweeted an Indiewire/GQ Style article back in September that mentioned that Gucci Mane was on board the film, and so we knew it was possible that Harmony may still make it.  I notice Idris Elba is no longer involved on IMDbPro, but then again – how long did it take for Robert to appear on IMDb for this film – so I’m not going to put too much weight on that.  It has been a good week for Robert’s films hasn’t it.  That’s 3 in the pipeline for 2017 – as we posted yesterday – Idol’s Eye filming in February 2017, High Life in May 2017  – let’s see when Harmony decides this should all happen.  For now I’m just excited that we may get uzi wielding surfie Max.  Stay tuned.

 

 

This happens now and again, it has been dormant on IMDbPro for some time.  As you can see, the last development is dated 28 May 2015.  Anyway, whatever happens happens, but I’ll keep an eye on it as long as it sits in Robert’s “Projects in Development”.
