Robert Pattinson interviewed on the Damsel red carpet at Berlinale

 

If you strain, you can hear a few of Rob’s responses, but I know we have a few German followers so they can enjoy and maybe let us know what Rob is saying.

and enjoy some footage and Rob below with B.Z.

 

In the above video Rob is saying “I’ve never before read a script that was so totally funny and had me so addressed, it’s quite difficult to write good comedy and the people don’t see me as a comedy actor, therefore there weren’t many offers to play such stuff. It was super, it was fun.”   Thanks Mella 🙂

Robert Pattinson Joins Willem Dafoe in Robert Eggers “The Lighthouse”

“[The Lighthouse] creates a totally unique and ambitious universe and manages to somehow feel scary, suspenseful, wondrous,

and beautiful all at the same time”, A24

Remember last week when we posted about the rumour that Rob was involved in a film with Willem Dafoe called “The Lighthouse”?  Then the information was removed and it made me cautious that perhaps it wasn’t going ahead?   I’m really happy to say that the information was correct.  Media outlets this morning were reporting of the news.  Here’s a roundup of what they had to say:

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Robert Pattinson will join Willem Dafoe in fantasy horror film The Lighthouse from writer-director Robert Eggers.

The Lighthouse, which is scheduled to go before cameras this spring, is set in the world of old sea-faring myths, taking place in Nova Scotia in the early 20th century and centering on an aging lighthouse keeper (Dafoe).

The project hails from A24, which recently worked with Pattinson on Good Time and Dafoe on The Florida Project. The company also distributed Eggers’ debut, The Witch.

Rodrigo Teixeira and Lourenço Sant’ Anna will produce via their Brazil-based RT Features, after having developed the project with Eggers. Parts & Labor’s Jay Van Hoy and Youree Henley will also produce. New Regency, which is currently working with RT Features on sc-fi thriller Ad Astra, will co-finance.

Pattinson recently debuted his comedic Western Damsel at the Sundance Film Festival and is set for the Netflix feature The King, starring opposite Timothee Chalamet.

I just don’t know what to believe this week.  Rob’s been mentioned in a few articles with new projects – first it was posted that he would be in a film with Willem Dafoe (which turns out was possibly a hoax – although it is a Robert Eggers film and Eggers did co-present a George A Romero retrospective at Metrograph with Josh Safdie last October.  I want to so believe that they talked about working with Rob. It’s probably a stretch I know but …).  Timothee Chalamet was announced yesterday to star in David Michôd’s “The King” which a lot of you will know I’ve speculated about since Rob mentioned working with David in Cannes.  Turns out IMDbPro did add “The King” to Rob and David’s pages, although strangely enough it initially appeared under “Past Films & Video”.  This morning I woke up to it being moved into “Projects in Development”.  Although no official confirmation of Rob’s attachment to the film has been made, this is what a few of the media outlets are saying:

Little White Lies

According to Deadline Chalamet is set to appear in The King as the eponymous English monarch, who famously led his army to victory at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 during the Hundred Years’ War with France. He died aged 36, leaving the throne to his infant son.

Michôd’s previous feature, the Brad Pitt-fronted military satire War Machine, arrived on Netflix last year to little fanfare. The Australian filmmaker has teamed up with regular collaborator and compatriot Joel Edgerton to pen the script for The King, and with Chalamet joining Robert Pattinson in the principle cast, we’re bracing ourselves for something big. [My emphasis]

W MAG

There is some speculation that Robert Pattinson may co-star. Indeed, he is the only other actor listed on IMDB at the moment. Though, that appears to stem from a comment he made during a press conference at Cannes, in which he said he might be working with Michôd on a future project. So don’t necessarily hold your breath on that one.

Production is slated to begin in June so I’m just going to be sitting over here waiting for official confirmation before I get really excited. Perhaps Rob will mention it next week during Berlinale.
