Robert Pattinson as Monte in High Life

This is new to me, although may not be new to some. I think I stopped watching clips some time during US promo

Pattinson: "After I finished my poor attempt I saw a change in her face. She hadn't heard that before and she loves romanticizing these kinds of ideas in physics. So it was my one card I could play, and I was like, 'Wow, that actually worked?!'" · Follow @filmthusiast for more!

We can stop referring to Christopher Nolan‘s untitled next film as such and start referring to it as Tenet, as of today. Filming on the event film starts today with the production embarking on a seven-country tour that will use a combination of IMAX and 70mm film cameras. After working with editor Lee Smith for the better part of the last 15 years, Nolan will now collaborate with Hereditary editor Jennifer Lame for Tenet. Nolan produces alongside Emma Thomas with Thomas Hayslip (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) as executive producer.

Here’s everything we do know about Tenet so far:
Title: Tenet is, by definition, “a principle or belief, especially one of the main principles of a religion or philosophy.” That’s vague enough of a title to be a film about just about anything, but it’s also very “Nolan-esque.” Memento, Inception, Dunkirk (okay, maybe not that last one) are all very general in concept but carry specific meaning in the movie itself, once you’ve seen it.

Plot: Described as a globe-trotting adventure that dabbles in international espionage with shades of the mind-bending Inception but also somehow involves the time continuum a la Interstellar, the short answer is that we still don’t really know what Tenet is about. Stay tuned.

Cast: Led by John David Washington(BlacKkKlansman) with Robert Pattinson (Twilight) and Elizabeth Debicki(Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), new additions to the international ensemble include Dimple Kapadia (Bobby), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), and Clémence Poésy (In Bruges), with Michael Caine (The Dark Knight trilogy) and Kenneth Branagh (Dunkirk).
Crew: Director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema (Dunkirk), production designer Nathan Crowley (Dunkirk), costume designer Jeffrey Kurland (Inception, Dunkirk), and visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson with a score composed by Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther).

Release Date: Look for Tenet to hit theaters on July 17, 2020.

It’s been quite a busy year since Rob’s 32nd birthday, one filled with new project announcements, press conferences, photocalls, premieres, Q&A’s, film festival appearance, photoshoots, and special appearances. Let’s take a quick look back at some of the highlights . . .

Summer kicked off with the U.S. release of “Damsel”, the press junket, and Rob’s attendance at the L.A. premiere. It was a treat to see Rob showing off a comedic side as awkward Samuel Alabaster. I think most fans would agree that a favorite scene was Rob’s crooning of “Honeybun”, which is featured on the “Damsel” soundtrack.

In the midst of the “Damsel” press junket, it was confirmed that Rob would be reunited with “The Rover” director David Michod in “The King”. It was also announced that Rob would be honored at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. As the summer continued, Rob attended the Dior menswear fashion show for Paris Fashion Week and KVIFF, where he was presented with the President’s award. Filming began on “The King” and Rob made a guest appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” to promote “Damsel”. In September, it was announced that Rob was joining the cast of “The Devil All The Time”. As Fall rolled around, Rob attended the TIFF North American premiere of “High Life” and the press junket followed. Soon after, Rob and the cast of “High Life” attended the San Sebastian Film Festival. The highlight, most would agree, was the reunion of Rob and Scarlett Lindsey, who plays his daughter “Willow” in the film. Scarlett stole the spotlight and we loved it. October brought Rob’s attendance at the U.S. premiere of “High Life” at the New York Film Festival. While reviews for “High Life” were mixed, Rob once again received rave reviews for his performance as Monte. Amid all of the premieres, Rob also attended the amFAR and Go Campaign Gala fundraisers. November treated us with new photoshoots for Interview Magazine, Les Inrockuptibles and Dior. Rob also made a special appearance at the opening night of the Marrakech Film Festival. To close out the year, Rob attended the Fashion Awards in London and presented an award to Dior’s Kim Jones. January and February were fairly quiet on Rob’s end. The exception being an appearance at the Dior menswear show in Paris. March brought some excitement for us. While some Canadian and overseas fans had the opportunity to see “High Life” screenings and hear Rob perform the soulful and haunting “Willow” during the closing credits, many fans had not yet seen the film. To our delight, Stuart Staples of Tindersticks released an official music video for the song, which is also featured on the “High Life” soundtrack.

Also in March came that fabulous news that Rob had been cast in a yet unnamed Christopher Nolan film. You could hear the collective cheering. Details of the project are under wraps for the time being, but the expected release date is in 2020. April brought us our long-awaited first look at Rob’s character in ‘The Lighthouse”. Yet again, Rob has transformed himself and is nearly unrecognizable as Ephraim Winslow. Like the Nolan project, Robert Eggers is keeping quiet about the details of the film. Hopefully more will be unveiled as it was announced that “The Lighthouse” will premiere at Cannes. To round out April, Rob and director Claire Denis took part in Q&A’s both in NY and L.A. to promote the U.S. release of “High Life”.

It’s been an eventful and enjoyable year. Rob is continuing to earn respect and recognition as a serious actor and we couldn’t be more thrilled for him.

Happy 33rd birthday, Rob! Wishing you much success and happiness in the coming year from Robert Pattinson Australia.

The Spring/Summer 2019 issue of Dazed features a new conversation with Rob and Claire Denis on their movie “High Life”. A short excerpt is below. You can read the article in its entirety on the Dazed website.

Monte is confronted with his transgression at the end of the film. Robert, it feels as if you are consciously downplaying this moment on screen.

Robert Pattinson: The relationship between Monte and (his daughter) Willow, and the movie as a whole, is so gentle. But when I first read it, I saw it as the story of a guy who’d had a daughter because he was raped, and who ends up, essentially, in a relationship with her. It doesn’t really feel like that when you watch it, but that’s what happens! Right at the beginning of this process, Claire said to me, ‘I don’t believe in morality.’ She is saying that morality is a personal thing and that we should all, individually, confront it. I thought the story (of High Life) was so interesting, because when you take away all the world’s mechanisms of judgment, how would you behave? How would you act if you knew that no one could judge you? How does this affect our understanding of love, what our relationships are, what the relationship is between a father and a daughter? When you only have one other person in your life, do you search for every relationship that you need in them? Willow becomes his mother in a lot of ways, as well as his daughter and girlfriend. And I guess that’s the thing with taboos as well, why would something seem perverse if there’s no one else around?
