How fabulous was the movie news this week.   Idol’s Eye is happening – perfect news to wake up to on our 8th anniversary and then we ended the week with Robert and black hair. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Spain seems to be getting the movie on DVD rather than an actual cinema release – just in time for Christmas though. Italy|Swiss Italians will be seeing the film in 2017 – at least they know it’s coming soon. There’s a premiere screening in Poland that has producer Chris Coen attending next Wednesday.  Japan also has an exhibition of the posters happening at one of their cinemas. Sweden has the chance to see it at Skara Film Festival in November. GOOD TIME:  I think I love the quirkiness of Josh Safdie and agree Carmel “love his vibe”.  Jennifer Jason Leigh has finally been added to cast list on IMDbPro. DIOR:  New photo new photo! QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  Finally the US will see this film in 2017. THE LOST CITY OF Z:  Not sure really how they give it an R rating (which I think is our MA15+ equivalent).  Also, new footage emerges from the last week of NYFF54. What an interesting read that article from James Gray in Film Comment is in relation to how they created the colours of the film.  I also came across a variation of the David Godlis photo taken of Robert on the NYFF red carpet. IDOL’S EYE:  Sly Stallone – I’m just thrilled that I get to include this movie on Robert’s slate again. Even better when I can add to our Films page for Robert. HIGH LIFE:  Financing approved from the US – set to co into production in Spring 2017.  It’s shaping up to be a busy year for Robert. GO CAMPAIGN GALA:  Red carpet live tweeted and live streamed. The final tally for #WeGoForRob Birthday project was in excess of $30,000 – that’s a wonderful achievement.  IN OTHER NEWS: Happy to see Mr November! I tweeted an article about filming in Hungary that mentioned Robert, Bel Ami and The Childhood of a Leader.  I also came across an interesting article about how the AFM could impact on indie films.  Screen Daily is keeping us abreast of all film news at AFM 2016.  Michelle is keeping on top of Robert’s films on FOXTEL thankfully.  If you have OSN you can watch Maps to the Stars in Egypt.  I read a great article on Tracking Board about indie films and whether they’re in trouble – apparently not.  It also mentioned both A24 and Bleeker Street are having their best year – smiles. RPAU GIVEAWAY:  We’re giving away some bluray/DVDs to celebrate our 8 year milestone.  Gotta be in it to win it.  COMING UP NEXT WEEK:  The Childhood of a Leader is being released in Poland on Friday 11 November, will screen at Skovje Film Festival and can be seen at Robert Burns Theatre in Scotland, Northern Lights cinema, Derbyshire and Rio Cinema, London. You can check out all upcoming screenings at our Film Page or UK cinema roundup.  Great photos of Robert from today thanks to Posh … see you next week.

Josh Safdie Clues Us In On Status of Film

Film Update: IMDbPro Adds Jennifer Jason Leigh to Cast

 

A fabulously busy week … THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Sweden has a few screenings coming up – it’s the Sunday movie @kollakristianstad this weekend, the Film Club in Orsa is holding a screening on 1 November and the Skövde Film Festival on 13 November 2016.  Germany has 2 screenings at Heimspiel Film Festival on 17 & 21 November 2016 and if you are in the UK you can see it at Foyle Film Festival on 19 November.  The Polish distributor gave us a great poster and a full version of a still. I came across an interesting article from the company that created the trailer and how they went about it. I know some of you would be interested to read about that. LIFE: Found another screening in Mexico on 25 October 2016. THE LOST CITY OF Z:  The NYFF finally uploaded their HD full press conference and also some photos to their website.  I also came across some social media pics and a few great photos so it goes without saying that the Master Post has also been updated.  As have the reviews especially since the International Cinephile Society had some really great words to say about Robert. I have updated the Bulgarian release date to “TBA” they have removed the November 2016 date. QUEEN OF THE DESERT: I tweeted the new Japanese poster for the film and I also came across the official Japanese website, which now also includes the subtitled trailer which is slightly different to previous trailers I have seen.  The Japanese sure now how to promote a film. In case you can’t recall it’s being released on 21 January 2017.  Italy can watch the film on VOD until 1 February 2017.  Cassian Elwes confirmed on Friday morning (AEST) that the US distributor deal would be announced next week and the film will have a first quarter 2017 release date. It’s been a long time coming for the US. I know it’s not a popular film, but I’ve seen it twice and I really like it. Robert’s performance is stupendous. DIOR:  Posh shared the HQ ad campaigns featured in Corriere della Sera Style (Italy) and GQ Style USA. DAMSEL:   The Zellner Bros announced their film in a very Zellner kind of way.  Love it. GOOD TIME: A24 acquired the North American rights.  I tweeted that I hope they do a better job than they did with The Rover, but in hindsight after having checked out their website, they have actually picked up and recently marketed some incredibly great films.  Room especially given Brie Larson’s Oscar win.  No wonder @Josh_Benny were tweeting about Moonlight the other day too. It looks like A24 are on their A game now.  Also, Deadline reported that Jennifer Jason Leigh was attached – which was news to me (Indiewire are also noting her involvement and Barkhad Abdi) – and that Memento International would be selling to foreign distributors at the American Film Market next week. Fingers tightly crossed we get some news.  I also love Josh_Benny’s reaction to the news. IN OTHER NEWS: I thought Robert kept most of the clothes from Twilight, but perhaps that’s another furphy - Twilight Saga Auction is happening in November and you have a chance to bid to own some of Edward Cullen’s props and costumes.  COMING UP NEXT WEEK:  The Orsa screening of The Childhood of a Leader mentioned above on 1 November, the Keswick Film Club in the UK on Sunday 6 November and let’s not forgot Robert co-chairing the GoGo Gala on Saturday 5 November 2016. Current tally $23,100 Oh and the Queen of the Desert distributor announcement.  Looks like it might be another busy week, so I better rest up … until then.

Film Update: Elara Pictures Describes Good Time as Wild Movie | More Info Soon

I was so out of practice for promo Rob that it took me a few days to overcome it – not complaining as I flex my fingers for next promo date.  Happy that the HQ goodness continued too. Big thank you to Posh for generosity.  THE LOST CITY OF Z:  Pretty sure we have over 300+ gorgeous HQ photos of Robert at the premiere in New York.  I have updated the review post and unsurprisingly the good outweigh the bad. I cannot wait for this film – it is the kind of cinematic experience I adore.  Robert keeps giving us great little quotes – which will help when we’re doing our Robert … In His Own Words.  Wonder if Jules can photoshop a squirrel on his head lol. The red carpet interviews are trickling through as is the footage. I’m also updating instagram pics as I find them. That black and white one from the Lincoln Centre is just pure heaven. Not sure if everyone saw Steve Kopian’s pics of Robert from NYFF but it’s a beauty (as is his review).  Bleecker Street have added an official page to their website. Still patiently waiting for Robert’s portrait to be shared by NYFF *tapsfoot*. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Japan finally decided on a release date – 25 November 2016.  I posted a new still of Robert with Liam Cunningham (or it could be a screenshot) hard to tell really. HIGH LIFE: IMDbPro updated the character names for the film and Production Weekly shows filming is set to commence in January 2017.  Excited that something is happening. GOOD TIME:  A sales agent has been appointed.  Only good things can come from that. DIOR:  *Fistpumps* 2 new pics well one really but 2 HQ so I’m happy.  Thanks as usual to Posh. IN OTHER NEWS:  I tweeted a few articles talking about The Lost City of Film, like The Playlist’s “James Gray & The Cast Of ‘Lost City Z’ Talk Jungles, 35mm & The Future Of Film” and LA Times on how the film provided a journey of his own to James Gray’s thoughts on the film during the NYFF press conference.  Vietnam has been added to the list of proposed release dates on IMDbPro, although we already knew it was coming in 2017. I also tweeted the Josh Safdie’s response to being asked what he thought about Robert’s performance (he was at the premiere on Saturday night) “incredible performance! Understated and new. Added a lot to the film. Henry Costin!”  Reminder that the 10th anniversary GO Campaign Gala is on 5 November 2016 – if you can attend (without stalking Robert) and actually support the cause, then you should do so.  If you can’t attend you can still donate by visiting #WeGoForRob’s page here – remember they are hoping to raise $30,000 in support of Robert’s 30th birthday – the current tally is 21,515 (71.72% funded).  So close.  We celebrated Michelle’s birthday this weekend – love RPAU birthdays because we all get spoilt.  Can I also take this time to thank Jules for our glorious new Dior banner and the gifs for The Childhood of a Leader and The Lost City of Z on our Film Page – fabbo!  Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe the Behind the Scenes Red Nose Day photoshoot that Posh spoilt us with on Friday.  And my fave three letters U.H.Q.   COMING UP NEXT WEEK:  In the UK you can catch The Childhood of a Leader on Monday at Saffron Screen. The US can check the film out at the Miniplex, Richards Goat Tavern, Arcata or Hippodrome Theatre, Gainesville FL.  Poland will screen as part of The American Film Festival next Sunday and if you’re in Sweden you can also see it at Kristianstad.  Mexico can still check out Life with a few more screenings next week. Anticipating what might be unleashed next week -  so until then.

Review Roundup:  NYFF reviews updated

So much to look forward to especially promo Robert and my favourite tweet of the day goes to Steve Kopian “As everyone has said with LOST CITY OF Z Robert Pattinson has become one of the best actors working today” – what we’ve known all along.  THE LOST CITY OF Z:  We had confirmation on Monday that Robert was attending the world premiere and he didn’t disappoint.  I was perplexed that there was to be no Charlie Hunnam, but then I realised that Charlie’s currently filming the remake of “Papillion” in Serbia.  I also want to believe that it would be too much hotness for one place *swoon*.  I decided to start the movie review post in anticipation of the reviews that would emerge after the NYFF screening. I was actually inspired by comments like this one “LCOZ represents a form of epic storytelling that has all but vanished from the landscape of modern cinema, and a rare level of artistry.” So many great comments.  You can check out all the NYFF posts below or at our Master Post here. MVP Pictures Vietnam also confirmed to RPAU that they are releasing the film in 2017, with a definite date to be confirmed. The US knows though when it will see the film as does Argentina. QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  Japan is finally releasing the film in January 2017.  That was a long wait. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Two screenings at Cologne Film Festival and I have to say I missed notifying about the first one. Sorry, but my life at the moment is extremely hectic. Sometimes I don’t get time to get online. The film is also screening as part of the 7th American Film Festival in Poland at the end of this month.  I’ve added JW3 London to the upcoming UK screenings and Arcata, CA to US screenings. Lucky Latin Americans who subscribe to the AMC Channel can watch the film in the comfort of their own home. GOOD TIME: IMDbPro updated listing new cast members and also adding 10 October 2016 as new post production date.  DIOR:  GQ Australia comes to the party – make sure you purchase your copy. LIFE: Added a few more screenings for the release in Mexico.  HARRY POTTER & THE GOBLET OF FIRE:  The UK can watch Robert on the big screen with Picturehouses holding a Harry Potter weekend on 29 & 30 October 2016. Lucky ducks. IN OTHER NEWS: We brought back our In His Own Words.  Expect more of those in the coming months. Oh and I did notice The Trap mentioned in Production Weekly this week, but Tracy confirmed that it’s not the Harmony Korine film. Posh retweeted this great quote from David Cronenberg. Last time I checked, the tally for #WeGOforRob is $19,280 – that’s 64.27% funded. There seems to be  a glitch on their website at the moment.  Studio Canal (France) showed a 5 minute showreel for The Lost City of Z and it had great buzz like this  COMING UP NEXT WEEK: The Childhood of a Leader will be at Riga Film Festival on 21 October 2016.  I think that’s it I’m too pooped from all the Robert photos today – so until next week.

Robert Pattinson to Attend World Premiere at NYFF

Movie Reviews International Roundup *Updated with NYFF reviews*

 

Hmm I really do need 70s moustachioed Rob in my life – so here’s to hoping that Idol’s Eye gets off the ground with him.  But enough day dreaming – here’s what we know is really happening. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  Japan’s adding more cinemas, but it’s still keeping the actual release date a secret.  I guess they are playing on their title Secrets of Monsters. They are monsters for not telling us the date ha! They also updated their website with additional information and released a new character poster. Thanks to Posh we now have the solo Robert poster in HQ.  I also updated the movie reviews. LIFE:  In case you missed it, there were 4 sessions for free (or 25 pesos) in Mexico, but I found that it’s now also showing at National Film Archive until 13 October 2016. DIOR:  Holy Moly – these photos are divine. And how about that sneak peek at the new photo in Shanghai.  GO CAMPAIGN:  Robert has been announced as co-chair for the 5 November Gala with Ewan McGregor. Don’t forget that Robert’s fans are trying to raise $30,000 for his 30th birthday year.  The amount has stalled at around $18,000, so if you want to help donate I’ve added the GO page link to the announcement post.  IN OTHER NEWS: IMAX is screening all the Harry Potter films to celebrate the release of Fantastic Beasts. Lucky people in the US.  Claire Denis will be attending the Alucine Film Festival later this month, I especially like this reference “Among the guests at the event is the French filmmaker Claire Denis, considered by critics as one of the great exponents of cinema.”  For those still considering attending the New York Film Festival (I wish), tickets are still available for a few sessions of The Lost City of Z.  What’s coming up next week?  Apart from the world premiere of LCoZ on 15 Oct - UK residents can catch a screening of The Childhood of a Leader at Nordern Farm, Chichester Cinema at New Park, The Station Cinema North Yorkshire, Bideford Cinema (North Devon) and Adam Smith Cinema (Fife, Scotland).  Wondering what next week will bring … maybe Robert at the NYFF although I have my doubts. I think he’s taken a leaf out of James Dean’s book, but let’s hope I”m wrong  .. until then.

Some great treats this week – some really great treats. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER:  We found out that the film will screen on 21 October as part of the Riga International Film Festival. I’ve updated upcoming UK screenings for October and November. The film is also having a screening in Sweden. Volga Films has a competition to win a code to unlock and watch the film for free on iTunes. They’ve also listed the cinemas still screening the film in Russia, Armenia, Belarus & Kazakhstan. THE LOST CITY OF Z: Another release date – this time for the Czech Republic. IMDbPro has also marked the film as “complete”. DIOR: Always keeping us on our toes – wonderful night shots Mr Lagerfeld.  Wonderful.  Posh has spoilt us too with a page from Esquire Singapore. I love that Dior knows how to surprise us. QUEEN OF THE DESERT:  Cassian Elwes confirms new US distributor to be announced in coming weeks, plus movie to play in 100 cinemas. Stay tuned. IN OTHER NEWS:  I thought I would start the week off celebrating Robert’s performance as Rey in The Rover. Still love that film so much. Posh spoilt us with some great photos this week – Capital FM in UHQ and HQ photoshoot pics from EW 2008 Breakout Stars, Dossier, LA Promo Portraits and The Hollywood Reporter. Gucci Mane did an interview with GQ Magazine this week where he mentions he will be filming Harmony Korine’s “The Trap”.  Waiting with baited breath to see what happens with that as I’d love to see Robert in a film with Al Pacino.  I also wanted to see Robert in a film with Robert De Niro but that looks it’s not happening even if Idol’s Eye goes ahead – apparently with a new cast. Michelle again keeping us up to date with Robert’s films on Australian TV - I love that she does that.  Coming up next week:  The Childhood of a Leader can be seen in the UK at Poly Falmouth (Cornwall), Roses Theatre (Cotswold), Stoke Film Theatre, Prince Charles Theatre (London) and Chichester Cinema (New Park).  Looking forward to hopefully receiving more treats next week – yes Dior I’m looking at you.  Until then …
