Robert Pattinson dyes his dark locks a dodgy blonde

Dodgy blonde?  I don’t know I might be in the minority but I kind of like how that looks on Robert. It’s how I imagined uzi-wielding Max might have looked if The Trap ever got off the ground. So thanks Josh and Benny for at least giving us a surprise with that look.

  

Thanks Posh.

GOOD TIME

First selection for the two brothers of the New York indie cinema with a film of robbery brought by Robert Pattinson

The Story While the police are doing everything for the trap again, a bank robber, helped by his brother, does everything he can to avoid jail.

The Issues It was in Cannes, in the parallel section (The Fortnight of Directors) that the New York brothers, Josh and Ben Safdie, were first spotted. It was in 2008 with their indie film The Pleasure of Being Robbed, about a young bohemian woman around the streets of New York. They returned to the same place, one year later, with Lenny and the Kids, where one finds this same energy borrows of fantasy. After a passage by the Venice Film Festival in 2014 with Mad Love in New York, they finally compete. No doubt that the presence of a star or two in their universe has contributed to their unfurling of the red carpet. After his experiences with David Cronenberg and James Gray, the ex-vampire Robert Pattinson continues his road towards auteur cinema. He will be accompanied by Jennifer Jason Leigh. This film, of which a large part of the plot takes place in prison, was shot in a real penitentiary in Queens with actors who, for the most part, made a passage behind the bar.

Robert Pattinson

At 31, the American actor, discovered in the Twilight saga, has already competed with Cosmpolis (2012) and Maps to the Stars (2014), by David Cronenberg, and out of competition with David Michod’s The Rover at the midnight screening.

Thanks Posh.

Rob’s new film “Good Time” is featured in the May issue of Les Inrockuptibles magazine.

“They almost missed the market, but he they are back in the game. The rising values of The Pleasure of Being Robbed (2008) and Lenny and the Kids (2009), both highly applauded at the Cannes Fortnight and then passing through the Venice Film Festival (Mad Love in New York). This year, the Safdie Brothers, who are the sweethearts of New York indie, create a surprise by inviting themselves to compete for an object where they suddenly feel an unusual wingspan: a film of robbery and gangsters on the run served by a very intriguing cast: Robert Pattinson in mind”

Robert Pattinson Comments on A24 plus 2 Dior Homme advertisements

It’s like two for the price of one – or maybe three!

 

GQ Style USA did a write up on how A24 is disrupting Hollywood and obtained some quotes from the Hollywood stars who feature in their films.  Here’s the extract relating to Robert:

In between, A24 went from being a tiny, disorganized room of eight or so people to being the place where big stars like Robert Pattinson and Scarlett Johansson go to make small, strange movies …

Robert Pattinson (actor, ‘The Rover,’ ‘Good Time’): It’s crazy that there is an article about a distribution company. That’s completely nuts.

…

A24 went on a spending spree and released 11 movies in their second year of operation. The films were darlings—including David Michôd’s ‘The Rover,’ starring Robert Pattinson; Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Enemy,’ starring Jake Gyllenhaal; and Jonathan Glazer’s ‘Under the Skin,’ starring Scarlett Johansson—and, by and large, box-office underperformers.

Pattinson: I mean, with Twilight, the first tour we did was literally going to suburban shopping malls and doing local-news stuff. And I think that really helped the movie. But I think in experiences since then, doing mid-budget or relatively low-budget movies, if you try to do a toned-down version of that—I’ve just seen it not work, again and again and again. And so with [The Rover], they took that into account, and instead of blowing loads of money, [they did] more targeted marketing and also really sophisticated online campaigns and stuff. They just seem like they’re the first company that’s really abandoned a lot of the old models.

Robert Pattinson classy and badass on the Cannes Red Carpet for Good Time

 

The slow drip of information keeps on ratcheting up my anticipation for this film.

Google Translate:

What’s that? A brother, a sister. A bank robbery that goes wrong. A night to fix everything. Why are we waiting for it:  The Safdie brothers are the authors of a raw, rough cinema and embody a certain idea of ​​American independent cinema. Already passed by the Quinzaine with two previous films, they make this year a triumphant entry in competition. Far from the mainstream circuits, the two brothers have built a singular work, both lyrical and disturbing, true declaration of love to the freaks of New York. On the red carpet a duo as classy as badass: Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Jason Leigh. It would not be surprising if freshness and energy of this urban film, like DRIVE, packs the Croisette.  Ben and Joshua Safdie. United States. Official selection in competition. Soon

Thanks Posh.
