Robert Pattinson may have wanted to be an actor without being a celebrity. But then he turned his fame into its own kind of performance. “I can’t believe this is still going,” he said in an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine. https://t.co/vvTtIFf4Oe pic.twitter.com/qapbbM7Kkn

So it appears the release of Mickey17 has now been pushed back to 18 April 2025. I must have missed this news 2 weeks ago probably due to denial, but Collider confirms as follows:

“Looks like we’re going to have to wait a bit longer to see Mickey 17, which is Bong Joon-ho’s eagerly awaited follow-up to Parasite . Warner Bros. has moved the release date of Mickey 17, the Robert Pattinson-led sci-fi thriller, from January 31, 2025, to April 18, 2025, which will let the film take advantage of IMAX screens, as well as potentially bring in bigger audiences during the Easter holiday season. The film also stars Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

Back before the movie release date musical chairs started, Mickey 17 was competing with the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua, for premium screens in April, but Lionsgate has high hopes for the biopic and shunted it down the line to October in the hopes of capturing some awards attention. That freed up the April 18 slot and allowed Warner Bros. to secure it for Mickey 17.”

and there’s some new footage in the trailer above!

We posted a few days ago that Empire had an exclusive edition featuring Mickey17. Thanks to Chrissy sending me the scans below we can now read the full feature. I love how Bong refers to Rob focussing on the project and his character as watching “a beast go after its prey”.

PS. I forgot to post the subscriber version of the cover the other day – so here it is

Elle Magazine had Suki Waterhouse telephone prank family and friends and she pranked Rob that she had been asked to host “Love is Blind” and that it would be a good idea for him to co-host with her. See Rob’s reaction below – gold as always (Rob starts at 8.12 where the video below should start).

Transcript from Entertainment Weekly:

Waterhouse: “Hi, my angel,”

Pattinson: “Hey, darling. Did you call me brother?”

Waterhouse clarified the pet name mix-up, then launched into the gag. “You know that show Love Is Blind?”

“Yeah,” Pattinson replied.

“I just got offered to be the host for Love Is Blind,” Waterhouse said of the series, which is hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey in the U.S. and Matt and Emma Willis in the U.K. “Isn’t that so cool?”

But Pattinson might not know Love Is Blind after all. “Which one is Love Is Blind again?” he asked.

“We watched it a while ago,” Waterhouse responded. “They’re like, ‘Oh, are you my type? Are you my type?’ It’s quite deep, though. I feel like it’s a sociological experiment that’s actually quite beautiful.” (It remains unclear whether or not Pattinson actually remembers watching Love Is Blind — for all we know, he could have been distracted while exploding his microwave or rehearsing his next ridiculous movie voice.)

Pattinson did not seem enthused by Waterhouse’s announcement. “That’s interesting,” he said tepidly. “What an interesting turn of events.”

Waterhouse reiterated her excitement about the opportunity. “I just feel like it would be quite a good thing to do,” she said. “They were saying we could do it together as well, which I thought could actually be quite good.”

But the thought of being a part of the Love Is Blind equation was too much for the Lighthouse actor. “Darling, have you gone mad?” he asked.

“Don’t you think it would be quite good for us? It would be great for you,” Waterhouse replied, stifling a laugh.

“Are you joking? Is this whole thing a joke?” Pattinson inquired.

“Yeah,” she revealed.

Pattinson breathed a sigh of relief. “I was like, ‘If you think it’s right for you…'” he said.

“I know, you’re so sweet. I love you. Thank you,” Waterhouse responded.

That’s when it dawned on Rob: “Wait, I’m not on some TV show, am I?”

Waterhouse reassured him, “No, you’re not on TV, no,” before adding, “You are gonna be on the internet, though.”

“No! I don’t want to be!” Pattinson exclaimed.

Not sure if anyone has been watching The Penguin (which is great), and I keep waiting for Rob as Batman to appear. Well according to Matt Reeves they tried to tie Rob into the series, but understandably so ….

Matt Reeves confirmed they tried to get Robert Pattinson’s Batman in The Penguin show, but they couldn’t find a way to do it where he didn’t steal the show 🦇
