Robert Pattinson one of the 5 best things about Tenet

Looper take a look at the 5 best and worst things about Tenet. Of course, without any bias here, one of the 5 best is Robert Pattinson. Here’s what Looper had to say:

Most of Christopher Nolan’s films are heavily star-studded and he, like many other directors, has a list of favorite actors to fall back on when starting pre-production on a new project. We can only hope Robert Pattinson gets added to Nolan’s first-look list, because he rules in this movie. 

Pattinson’s character, Neil, has a particularly difficult part to play in this film, as he has an entire friendship with the Protagonist (John David Washington) and the knowledge that comes with it that he has to keep concealed from his friend at all times — at least, until the Protagonist figures it out for himself. Pattinson maintains that façade with ease and artistry, but throws in little bits of emotion here and there to portray Neil’s inner conflict as he tries to repress his natural inclination to be the Protagonist’s friend in their more casual conversations. It all helps the audience to understand that relationship in its totality later on.

He’s a little goofy and fun, too — sometimes appearing in scenes with a loose tie and rumpled appearance when he doesn’t need to be putting on airs for anybody, or aiming for humor and charmingly missing the mark. It adds a much-appreciated chaotic energy to the film, bucking Nolan’s tendency to write rather emotionally sterile characters for twisty narratives that use people like pieces in a sophisticated game.

#TheBatman and Robert Pattinson Rise to the Top of IMDbPro

It is no surprise to us that The Batman trailer resulted in The Batman hitting the number 1 spot on IMDb’s MOVIEMeter. Rob’s on the rise as well hitting No. 3 on the STARMeter. It’s been some time since he was in the Top 3.

Is Robert Pattinson #Tenet’s Best Hopes for an Oscar?

We have been down this road twice before – with Good Time and The Lighthouse. Without any bias, Rob’s performances in both films deserved recognition at the Academy Awards – it is after all a show that purports to acknowledge acting talent. Given the difficulties everyone has faced in 2020, the Oscars will be broadcast for the first time since 1953 later than usual – 25 April 2021. Perhaps 2021, will be “Neil” and Rob’s year for best supporting actor. Edward’s Ace seems to think so and tweeted that Rob is Tenet’s best chance for a gold statue (Erick also has him in contention with The Devil All the Time). To check out other categories in contention for Tenet head over to his website Award’s Ace.

The official schedule for DC FanDome has been released and the panel for “The Batman” is scheduled for Saturday, August 22 at 8:30pm. The panel will be hosted by Matt Reeves and will include surprises for fans. We’re assuming one of the surprises will be an appearance by Rob, as he was confirmed as a guest.

Additionally, according to The Wrap, there will be some new Batman footage revealed:

“fans who tune in will also get to find out more about WB outings like James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad,” James Wan’s “Aquaman” sequel, and Matt Reeves “The Batman,” a must-see as Reeves joins host Aisha Tyler to talk it up and treat fans to some new footage.”

All of the panels will be streamed via the DC FanDome website. You will need to register for an account to watch the panels. You can register at this link: DC FanDome.

This was a nice Monday surprise! We have our first look at Rob as preacher Preston Teagardin in Antonio Campos’ “The Devil All The Time”, exclusively from Entertainment Weekly. A short excerpt regarding Rob’s character:

“Rob prepared a bunch of ideas and you don’t know what you’re going to get but it’s all interesting,” says Campos. “The character coming to life — I saw that in front of me when we were on set.”

Robert Pattinson could potentially be the Most Valuable Player in Matt Reeves’ The Batman

According to BamSmackPow, “Robert Pattinson could potentially be the Most Valuable Player in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and become one of the all-time greatest in the process” and this is why:

Robert Pattinson’s casting as Bruce Wayne/Batman in The Batman saw the actor join a long-line of legendary actors who received unnecessary backlash from assuming critics that didn’t expect them to be cast in the role. And, like all of those other actors and actresses, he will more than likely prove those critics wrong.

Matt Reeves’ The Batman will set itself apart from previous live-action iterations (including the likes of Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher’s Batman film series and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy) as it will be more driven towards the detective aspect of the DC Comics character.

That means that Pattinson isn’t just going to have to distinguish his performances of both Bruce Wayne and Batman, it means that he’s going to have to highlight their similarities too – bringing to life the more investigative, obsessive qualities of both Bruce and Batman.

What could aid Pattinson’s overall performance is the fact that the British actor has already depicted a billionaire before – a rather manipulative and sadistic one in 28-year-old asset manager Eric Packer in Cosmopolis. Pattinson can undoubtedly apply his experience in the David Cronenberg film to the Gotham socialite’s investigative and deductive skills.

Reeves clearly saw something in Pattinson from his interpretation of Wayne and Batman that he can’t wait to share with moviegoers. With the director as a guide and the script as a blueprint, all Pattinson has to do is interpret it in such a way that highlights both aspects of the character, showcasing their differences and their similarities.

Being that Reeves’ The Batman, which is rumored to take some inspiration from the works of Alfred Hitchcock, is believed to center on a murder mystery plot, this gives Pattinson the chance to shine through as The World’s Greatest Detective.
