We started the week of with some more HQs of Rob from David Letterman that I have been waiting for since 2009.  No joke.  And then if that’s not enough I discover that Remember Me was on GEM HD (Australia) on 24 October 2015.  Like I wasn’t going to watch it again. I love that film and I’ve been fortunate enough to visit almost every place in that movie including eating at Pearl’s Diner *sigh*.  I really do love NY and Tyler. QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  North America is finally getting a premiere for the film during this year’s AFI Festival and we found out it’s 8 November 2015. It’s also a new “cut” of the film, where I pondered if there was more Rob, but according to The Film Stage it’s actually 18 minutes shorter than the Berlin screened version. Still wonder if they are holding off on general release of this film to somehow include it at the Oscars. I know others have hinted at this. The Middle East seems to be gearing up for later release dates than originally posted too. I don’t think we will see a general release of the film in Australia until 2016, much like NZ. Slovenia, however, will see 3 screenings of the film as part of the Ljubljana International Film Festival towards the middle and end of November. LIFE: Tickets for the Tokyo Film Festival were available for purchase and I tweeted about it, but on Friday I saw that the session was “SOLD OUT”.  The Japanese sure do love Rob. HIGH LIFE:  Holy FREAKING Moly. Not only do we get a bit of info about funding being thrown Claire Denis’ way, but we also find out information about the plot of the film. I won’t pretend that I’m not super excited about this movie, especially since I’m so sci-fi focused after reading The Martian. That movie was good, but I have a feeling that this film is going to be so much better. Don’t you love it when Rob fans get together and work as a team. I also came across an interview where TIFF spoke to Claire Denis about “sexiness in film” – it’s no wonder Rob’s on her radar.  Mia Goth has also joined Rob in this film and we find out even more about the plot. I have to admit, I’m not familiar with Mia’s work other than she was in Nymphomania and I believe dates Shia La Boofhead. I did see though that she just finished filming with Dane so that is coincidental. Lucky girl. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Another day another film festival. This is so great for Brady Corbet although now he’s setting the bar high – hope he’s one of those auteur directors that likes to keep working with the same cast. Did you see that Jonathan Demme actually compared him to a young Orson Welles. That’s a pretty huge compliment. Anyway it looks like the proposed dates for the premiere are 8 November 2015 with a second screening on 9 November 2015. There’s possibly a press screening on 8 November as well, but these dates are just “prospective” for now. IN OTHER NEWS: We celebrated Michelle’s birthday in style, well RPAU style that is. I thought it fitting that we also celebrate a Throwback Thursday with some of our own photos from the BD Pt2 Fan Event in Sydney seeing as it was Michelle’s birthday that day. David Gilligan shared another fabulous video of behind the scenes shots of Rob on the set of How To Be. They are a thing of beauty and I manually cropped and saved screenshots. It was a labour of love. Kate Long who wrote “The Bad Mother’s Handbook” shared 3 photos of Rob from 2006. How gorgeous are they and it was such a treat since we have seen so little from that telemovie. Cedric “GET BACK TO THE CUP!” *sniff* I need to prepare myself for next Friday and Cindy tells me GoF is also on Netflix.  I think from memory it may also be on STAN. THINGS I TWEETED ABOUT:  Rob was mentioned in Indiewire’s article about David Cronenberg films. I loved that they said “Robert Pattinson in what many consider to be his first respectable role” when talking about Cosmopolis. I know Barbara will be thrilled at that. Variety had an interesting article about what distributors/studios were trying in order to get people back to the cinema or really how to make money from some of their films. Personally I think too many films are released at the same time and often for those of us who work, it’s impossible to get to the cinema to see them all. Back in the early days only one cinema would have the rights to screen a film and it would be on for at least a few months. I know times have moved forward, but sometimes consumerism doesn’t work. Clearly. Cassian Elwes was ecstatic that they raised the money required for the 2 female student directors to go to Sundance and he specifically thanked Rob fans saying it couldn’t have happened without them. That’s nice. Hoping we get some news next week about what is happening with the Safdie Bros film or The Trap.  My recollection is that the Trap was filming in January, but according to Maria and Production Weekly so is High Life so we shall see what unfolds. I’ll finish off this week with confirmation of what we already know – Rob is a style icon and he personifies evening wear. He sure does and I don’t know why Dior hasn’t utitlised him more to that effect.  Until next week …

I started the week off with a lovely surprise. Tom Mulheron’s mother emailed me this gorgeous photo of her son on the set of Lost City of Z in Belfast. He plays Jack Fawcett at age 3. Isn’t he just beautiful. She’s so proud of him and why wouldn’t you be – I see a big future for him.  Look how much he’s captivated us just from that photo. LIFE: So pleased for Anton to be recognised at the Geneva International FF for his work and how fortunate that he gets to introduce the premiere of his new film. Lucky ducks who get to see that.  I came across that video interview where Anton talks about Rob and I think what he says about Rob is spot on. I also updated the movie reviews and yet again, we see some wonderful comments about Rob’s performance. How about that BTS footage – such a tease. I wanted to make some gifs, but my laptop is being looked at for various reasons and the one I have been using doesn’t have the software I need.  I’ll add that to the list of things to do once I get from lappie back.  I also want those solo pics of Rob that Anton took.  Gimme gimme gimme.  Thailand is getting ready to unleash the film on 12 November 2015 and I tweeted a link to the Thai (subtitled) trailer. Netherlands has joined the ranks of Blu-ray/DVD recipients, but unlike us lucky Aussies, they have to wait until March next year. Still it’s on the horizon so that’s good.  The Triskel Arts Centre (Cork, Ireland) is screening the film this week too.  I tweeted the session times today. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: Atlas Distribution is gearing up I guess to announce the release date for the US by launching an official Twitter and Facebook.  2016 looks like it’s going to see this film in quite a few countries. Wonder why it’s taking them so long to unleash. It looks like Top Film distributors are now going to follow suit by changing the release dates for Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, Lithuania & Kazakhstan to 2016. In the meantime, if you live in Estonia there are 3 screenings you can attend as part of a Woman’s Night special screening. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Looks like the Portuguese are lucky this time round and not only do they get Brady and this film, but if they hang around they get to see Don DeLillo and Jonathan Demme (who is hosting the Pleasantville Q&A – for those who aren’t familiar with Jonathan – he was the director for Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia to name just 2 classics and the current Ricki & The Flash). Thanks to Sally too, we know that the movie is being pitched/shown to potential distributors as part of the Rome Film Festival. Variety also spoke with Brady ahead of the special screening at Pleasantville and we find out a little bit more of how things came about for the film. GOOD TIME:  Thanks to the eagle eye of @ropcr we have a little more info about Rob’s character in this film. LOST CITY OF Z:  And slowly they come together. I wonder who else is involved in this film that is yet to be revealed.  I posted the article from SO Film who were fortunate enough to interview James Gray on set in Belfast. It was a great read and gave some background on how difficult it was for the film to get off the ground. It also mentions some spoilers so if you don’t really want to know anything about the film don’t read, but I did because it was really fascinating. IN OTHER NEWS:  How about those photos of Rob from the photoshoots, Tokyo & Cannes. This week has been very good to us HQ/UHQ wise. Glorious. How great was it seeing Rob as no. 9 on IMDb’s Top 25 Stars List.  Oh wait IMDb is inaccurate most of the time maybe I should ignore that.  Yeah that’s me being sarcastic.  David Gilligan spoilt us with a sneak peek at this new video of behind the scenes photos of Rob from “How To Be”.  He did give us the heads up that he was working on another vid. Can’t wait to see the finished product on 22 October 2015 just in time for Michelle’s birthday. Rob as Art is one of Michelle’s (and mine) fave characters. I tweeted about an article that appeared about The Trap. Nothing new was mentioned, but I was just happy to see it mentioned.  Did you see my tweet about David Linde?  How exciting that he’s now CEO of Participant Media. He was such a lovely man to chat with at The Rover premiere. Good things happen to good people.  Looking forward to seeing what is unleashed next week.  Until then …

Here we are again for another weekly wrap up and the glorious HQs keep on coming. LIFE: More of Rob’s interviews are surfacing either in print or video during Berlinale.  The BTS pics – we need more of those  I’m sure Anton would have taken more than just those 3 of Rob and Dane. The colour version of the Life poster is just beautiful and I love the dubbed clip at the Chateau Marmont. That place is magical. I tweeted about some upcoming screenings for the film: Triskel Arts Centre in Ireland 18-21 October & Norden Farm in November. And Aussies/Kiwis are getting the bluray/DVD/Vod on 17 December 2015 *cartwheels*. You can preorder via the links we provided this week if you haven’t already done so either with Sanity or iTunes. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: Just a reminder to get your tix for the British Film Festival screenings through Palace Cinemas later this month, in case you haven’t already done so. Looks like New Zealand might be getting the film in 2016, but I’m not surprised if Kiwis are wary of this, I am too given what happened with Life. Jordan has finally added the film to their coming soon – 15 October seems to be the general release date for the Middle East. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: I noticed that Protagonist’s website added their promo schedule for the American Film Market this November and I was happy to see there were 2 screenings for the film. Fingers crossed (and everything else really) that this film is picked up for distribution by more than the 2 we currently know about. I’ve been searching every week to see if I can find this film on distributors slates, but I haven’t been lucky – yet. I also noticed that one of the production co’s updated their website with a slightly different synopsis. All 3 now can be found on our film page.  How wonderful is that interview with Brady & Mona, although if you don’t want spoilers don’t read it.  I’m going to be honest – not sure if it’s a general comment that is made or whether it’s about the actual film. Yeah I’ve tried to remain spoiler free too. Sometimes it’s not so easy for us to do so. Cindy thinks I posted the comment about flight schedules to Taipei for Sue, but secretly I was checking for me. Just joking though – maybe. Great to see this film being screened at film festivals. Has me wondering, will it be included in the Sydney Film Festival’s schedule next year. It seems to me to be the exact type of film that they love to screen. Again, putting it out there. At least those who can get tickets and be at Pleasantville on 25 Oct won’t have to wait until next June if in fact it does make it to the SFF.  That Q&A with Brady would be so insightful. THE ROVER: So not only are the Japanese lucky that they are getting Life in December|January, they’re also getting The Rover on bluray/dvd/vod.  Now all they need for a hat-trick is QotD. Putting it out there for you people. THE TRAP:  I noticed on IMDbPro that the production status was updated to 6 October 2015. And now I have “Heading in the Right Direction” on loop in my head when I think about that film. THE LOST CITY OF Z:  I also noticed that 3 new castmates were included on IMDBPro.  Can’t wait to see this film it’s been a long time coming.  And before you ask, yes I’ve seen the sneaky shots of Rob on set that surfaced today, and no I won’t watch the vid.  Sorry if you’re annoyed that I won’t post them. I’m going to respect Rob’s wishes and not share them. It’s not like we don’t know what he thinks about the sneaky pics and I don’t think he’s just referring to the papz when he talks about that. THINGS WE TWEETED ABOUT:  For those interested in the actual Dennis Stock|James Dean photos, Thames & Hudson have published a new book. I hear it’s beautiful. Also, those Jay Leno and Munich HQs. No matter whether we have those pics in MQ, HQ is always better. Don’t forget for those who have twitter, we tweet reminders for films that are being released, shown at special events or even on TV so keep an eye out.  If you don’t have twitter don’t worry, you can always catch up with the Twitter widget we have on the sidebar at the site. Until next week when I hope we have some news about either The Trap, Good Time or Claire Denis’ film (I read that Claire is involved with a retrospective at the forthcoming Geneva Film Festival) – maybe we will get more info in November. Until next week …

3 New BTS Pics taken by Anton Corbijn

UHQ Colour “Life” Poster

 

How is it October already? How. We started the week off with those gorgeous UHQ|HQ pics from Jeff Reidel, Collectormania, GMEX and Empire Awards.  Shame I couldn’t crop the black and whites because although they were huge they quality was most definitely not UHQ.  I am however, ecstatic that this pic was UHQ because it’s one of my ultimate faves. Barefoot Rob does things to me. Oops I said that out loud didn’t I. LIFE: I knew we could count on Govinda’s in Sydney to screen this movie. They always play Rob’s films. Brilliant. A few more release dates have surfaced. Malaysia will get the film on 3 December 2015.  Spain seems to have moved their release forward by a week so that it’s now 20 not 27 November 2015. That’s good though. Japan is gearing up for their “Life” premiere during the Tokyo Film Festival. Not only have they posted their subtitled trailer, but they’ve now confirmed that the premiere with Anton in attendance will be 24 October 2015. Turkey is also screening the film during Filmekimi which translates I believe to Film October.  Oh and Guernsey is also making sure Rob’s fans get to see the film when they screen it from 24 November 2015. We were treated to that new interview from Berlinale by Kinowert. Some great insight into Rob’s mind during that one. We’ve updated the Life reviews because there are still great things being said about Rob’s performance. I love that the good far outweigh the bad. For Rob fans in the Netherlands, you have a chance to win a double pass to see “Life”when it opens on 8 October 2015 thanks to Movienewz. I also tweeted where Switzerland and Germany can see the film. Indonesia looks like they’re getting ready to unleash the film with Feat Pictures tweeting that BTS footage we’ve all seen. Feat Pics did tells us a few weeks ago that they would unleash in October. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: Italy isn’t supposed to get any screenings in 2015, but the Bozen Film Club is putting on three. Not sure how easy it is to get there but I’ve known people to fly interstate or catch a train to Paris from London to see a film. The premiere for Australia is happening during the British Film Festival which is being held by Palace Cinemas, another great supporter of indie films. We already knew about Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Byron, but now Adelaide and Perth get their dates. I expected Luna Palace (Perth) would eventually come to the party. Looks like the British Film Festival is where most of us will see Queen of the Desert.  Still no general Aussie theatrical release yet, but it’s coming I believe, but it won’t be in October as far as I can tell. I see that Russia is also gearing up for their release later this month by doing a book tie in.  RANDOM THINGS I TWEETED: ScreenDaily in its lead up to unleashing it’s Stars of Tomorrow tweeted one of my fave photos – Rob from 2005. Where the hell have the past 10 years gone. How great is David Gilligan’s story about taking that promo shot for How To Be. I love hearing the intricate details of how some photos take place – fitting really when you think about “Life” and how infamous those photos became.  I tweeted quite a few interviews from Anton Corbijn – Candid Magazine, VN and Luke Davies with The Guardian  and this gem from David Cronenberg.  IN OTHER NEWS:  Nick Osborne’s “Release” is finally available in paperback for those, like me, who are still old school when it comes to books.  Jules reminded us that Mr October is here and I have NO WORDS about her spectacular “Life” edit.  Cassian Elwes is raising money to help 2 female directors go to Sundance and tweeted about having Werner Herzog sign 5 pics of Rob and Nicole to auction off.  There’s was still some left last time I looked for those interested. And fittingly BFI (UK) was promoting The Rover which can be rented from them here  when they reminded us “Tarantino called David Michôd “the most uncompromising director of his generation”.  It’s still my opinion that David M got the best performance out of Rob, probably because as Rob has said in many interviews, the remoteness of the filming location allowed him to concentrate fully on his performance. Unfortunately it seems to me that that isn’t going to happen with Lost City of Z.  I’m trying to avoid the sneaky shots, so I’m signing off until next week and immersing myself in finishing The Martian – which incidentally is a surprisingly fantastic read (thanks Jules!).  Well if Rob’s going to write sci-fi I need to condition myself to start reading it.  See you next Sunday.

*Video* Associated Press Interview Rob and Dane

New Still of Rob

I like the fact that I started this week with Movie Monday – Art always manages to put a smile on my face.  Little did I know how prophetic it would be.  David Gillespie, who was the stills photographer for How To Be decided to treat us with a black and white photo of Rob as Art for Throwback Thursday.  I decided to retweet his post from back in July of that wonderful video he put together of BTS stills and guess what - David tweeted us the heads up that he’s putting together a new video of Rob photos. Stay tuned peeps it’s coming next month.  How fabulous will that be.  I can’t wait to see what beauties he shares with us.  Before I get into individual movies, let’s just say that there’s been lots of tweeting and retweeting about “Life” especially given the hype for the German and UK release.  It’s been fabulous and I’ve been a little rusty in the “deluge”.  I may not link all of them here, but if you get a chance you can check out our timeline (and you can still do that even if you don’t have twitter).  So let’s get to it. LIFE: There have been some great reviews of Rob’s performance and even if some don’t like the film, they still praise him.  The Times UK’s interview with Rob was such a great read.  I love how everyone who comes into contact with Rob professionally (and unprofessionally) always has sweet words to say about him.  It really is a great indication of what Rob is like as a person. I also like that Rob told Associated Press that he chooses roles that make him happy.  After all it’s his life and well when Rob’s happy so am I.  So it’s Win/Win. Then there was the NME and the The Irish Times interviews. The cover of NME Magazine alone was pretty damn hot and the interview with Rob really shows how amazing he is. Like we needed further proof, but I love that he’s not “caged” by the mega studios wanting to make more money from him. Hadn’t realised how much I missed promo Rob. The onslaught of interviews is reminding me of days gone by when well yeah the juggernaut of Twi was happening. Not complaining, just out of practice. I also loved what you could almost hear from the audio/dubbed interview with Rob saying he doesn’t have a selfie face. There is no hope for me if one of the most photogenic men around claims he can’t do selfies. Me thinks that’s another Rob porkie. There’s been some great interviews from Anton too giving us a little background to Rob and his character. The film seems to be included in lots of film festivals too. Can’t believe I almost missed the screening at the Atlantic Film Festival. Thank God for google alerts and the article sitting in my inbox of it being the pick of the day. Better late than never I say.  Greece is screening the film a day ahead of its theatrical release at the Athens Film Festival. Did I mention that I love that the Greek poster for “Life” states “Pattinson is Excellent”. Tru dat. Germany really got into the swing of having a few premieres for Life before the actual release date. I like that. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for New Zealand, who had an initial release date of 10 September 2015, that got pushed back to 24 September 2015 and now according to Transmission won’t have a theatrical release at all.  I guess, and I’m looking at this positively, the blu-ray/DVD will be released on 17 December 2015 and that’s not too far away.  Still disappointing though.  I feel for you Kiwis I really do.   The UK will also get the DVD soon by the look of it or at least they can preorder. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  I noticed that Protagonist updated their synopsis for the film and gave a little more info.  Michael Epp also posted a Throwback Thursday photo of Rob on the set of the film.  Rob is so dapper.  Wish we could hear some news about distribution. We did get a glimpse at a few more castmates though.   QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  Guess I know where a few of us Aussies will be in October/November 2015.  How bloody fantastic that we will get to see the film in exactly a month from today.  Perth I’m still trying to find out if Luna Cinemas will screen. If you remember with “Life”, they eventually came on board so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.  On Sunday morning (our time) Cassian Elwes tweeted that he was going to get 5 numbered photos of Rob and Nicole and have Werner Herzog sign them to help raise money to send 2 female filmmakers to Sundance.  I know someone who will be very interested in that – looks at bike owner. This is the photo that will be numbered.  I’ve tweeted the links to purchase for both here and here.  I hope if you are interested in helping you get the photos/posters.  I noticed that 2 of the photos of Rob and Nicole are already gone.  Wish the Aussie dollar wasn’t so bad. UNTITLED CLAIRE DENIS SCI-FI PROJECT: Which might have a title after all – High Life – thanks to the keen eye from Sally who noticed it on the casting director’s website. Rob seems to be having a theme “Life”, “Good Times”, “High Life”  hmmmm  maybe his next project can be “Life with Maria” – no?  Just kidding. IN OTHER NEWS:  The SA Film Corporation launched a new website on Monday and I tweeted how great it looked.  Of course no bias from us because it features Rob and The Rover. Also I do not think it’s a coincidence that Rob’s photo is included under “attraction incentive“! How cool is that new video interview with Rob doing the New Jersey accent “Two Shots, Two Beers”.  Love him. I also love The Rover Press Conference portraits that keep on giving.  Actually what’s not to love.  Can’t wait to see what next week brings – until then …

*SCANS* The Times (UK) Interview: ‘It’s so difficult not to just think that you’re a fraud’

Rob is getting some great reviews for his portrayal of Dennis Stock, even if the movie at times isn’t.  But the good so far outweigh the bad, so I wonder if Rob really does read the reviews because if he’s reading the bad reviews it won’t be taking him very long to get through them.  LIFE:  Spain plans to unleash the film in November 2015 and as predicted the premiere will be held at Sitges Film Festival in October.  Individual tickets have now gone on sale.  Lots of other film festivals are doing special screenings of the film and I kind of feel for Anton as he seems to be promoting this film very much on his own.  Shame they couldn’t unleash it earlier this year when Rob may have had more time to help promote it.  Never mind I’d rather we get Lost City of Z than a few red carpet pics.  The thought of adding more DVDs to my Rob collection makes me happy.   I tweeted a link to articles where Luke Davies talks about Life with The Australian and Spook Magazine.  As I have mentioned previously, articles I tweet are linked on our relevant film page.  Don’t forget to check them out for all of Rob’s films.  I also tweeted that Constantin Films (Austria) have updated their website to reflect the impending release of Life next week.  Japan has created an official website, since the film will have a special screening at the Tokyo International Film Festival in October, before it’s theatrical release in December/January.  Gaga Movies have a special tote bag available (limited numbers) for those purchasing advance tickets which have been on sale since yesterday.  A list of the relevant cinemas is included in the post.  I would love that tote as much as I love Japan’s enthusiasm for Rob’s films.  Wonder if Rob is able to attend at Tokyo to make up for missing Deauville, especially since he loves Tokyo.  Again, I find myself saying – an 8 hour flight is not too long at all.  Indonesia looks like they’re getting “Life” some time in October thanks to Feat Pictures response to my query on twitter.  Lots of interviews coming out from magazines although some of them I’m not posting as they are just rehashing other articles.   When you can almost recite the interview before you get to the end, then you know there’s something not right about it lol.   THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Protagonist tweeted another new still (minus Rob) and I love that they have used one of Rob’s stills on their website.  Still excited for Brady what an incredible achievement for his first film.   Those new stills from Lol Crawley are great aren’t they – even though a little dark.  I noticed that he’s removed them from his FB page *oops*.   I hope distributors get behind this film.  THE LOST CITY OF Z:  I tweeted a link to an article in BelfastLive that talked about current filming and posting some set photos of the entire cast.  I don’t know I sat on the fence about posting it on the site knowing full well what Rob thinks about people who hang around the sets and take photos.  It’s a double edged sword because we all want to see him in character, but then I feel bad about doing something I know Rob dislikes.  So when the photo at the train station unleashed I weakened and posted because seeing Henry Costin was just too good to pass up.  Rob looks so dashing, but I won’t be posting any grainy photos of Rob on set sorry if that annoys anyone.  Hopefully we won’t see too many more because I like surprises at the cinema.   THE TRAP:  Not much to report here other than an observation – I noticed Idris Elba’s name has vanished from the cast list on IMDbPro.  Although as we know that could mean nothing since so did Rob for some time, but I did tweet a screencap earlier this week.  Let’s see how long before Idris makes a reappearance.  IN OTHER NEWS:  Jules and Michelle have been spoiling us with edits and flashback posts.  You know how I feel about Jules’ edits.  They never disappoint.  And how great were those Mark Peterson UHQ pics that Michelle posted.  That should be a standard size for all Rob pics.  Looking forward to seeing what next week brings.  I can feel something new in the pipeline or some additional information about one of Rob’s films – I know that sounds obvious, but I can just feel it.  Maybe it’s Dior. Until then …
