According to IndieWire:

Rob Pattinson changed out of his green suit before coming to the party wearing a more casual red sweater and baseball cap, saying he has three movies to shoot before he even gets to “Queen of the Desert,” in which he plays T.E. Lawrence opposite Naomi Watts’ Gertude Bell.  “I wanted to work with Werner Herzog,” he told me. He has no idea if he’ll go blond to play Lawrence of Arabia. And the role is being expanded for him. Still to come, Pattinson is attached to David Michod’s “The Rover,” James Marsh’s “Hold on to Me,” David Cronenberg’s “Maps to the Stars” and Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire’s “Mission: Blacklist.” [Maria: my emphasis]

Lordy lordy I haven’t seen a blonde Rob since his baby pics *giggles*

Sweet JESUS!!!!!!!!  If only we knew how prophetic our conversations about Jude Law were the other day in relation to Dior.  Now we are going to see him up on screen with Rob.  I swear to God I might self combust.  Jude Law is the ONLY reason I watched Cold Mountain and didn’t walk out.  Martha are you alive???

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

“Jude Law is joining the cast of the film, which headlines Naomi Watts as Bell and Robert Pattinson as T.E. Lawrence, otherwise known as Lawrence of Arabia.

“It is a great opportunity to be working with such acclaimed talent on such an important project. We look forward to seeing Werner Herzog make this exciting piece of history come alive for a global audience,” Sierra/Affinity CEO Jude Law said.

Principal photography is scheduled to begin in Morocco in March 2013. [Guess we know were Rob’s headed after  he leaves Australia]”

I guess @cassianelwes wasn’t teasing re UK actor!

For those not on Twitter, I thought I’d share some teasing we received today from Cassian Elwes, one of the producers for Queen of the Desert.

*claps hands* How I love seeing all of Rob’s projects lined up on IMDb Pro. So exciting. Click for larger:
