Good Time Trailer – Robert Pattinson like we’ve never seen him before

May 18, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After Twilight, the world was at Robert Pattinson’s feet. However, rather than trying to scramble ever further up the Hollywood tree in search over ever-larger paycheques, he’s decided to favour interesting and unusual films, as well as ones that can challenge him. That trend continues with Good Time.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the mind-bending HEAVEN KNOWS WHAT, celebrated filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie return to the mean streets of New York City with GOOD TIME, a hypnotic crime thriller that explores with bracing immediacy the tragic sway of family and fate.

‘After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Constantine Nikas (Robert Pattinson) embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an increasingly desperate—and dangerous—attempt to get his brother out of jail. Over the course of one adrenalized night, Constantine finds himself on a mad descent into violence and mayhem as he races against the clock to save his brother and himself, knowing their lives hang in the balance.

Anchored by a career-defining performance from Robert Pattinson, GOOD TIME is a psychotic symphony of propulsive intensity crafted by two of the most exciting young directors working today. Josh and Benny Safdie’s transcendent vision is an intoxicating portrait of desperation and destruction that will not be soon forgotten.’

Take a look at the trailer below. The movie will be released later this year. [Read more…]

The Lost City Of Z Teaser Trailer – Charlie Hunnam, Tom Holland & Robert Pattinson hunt for El Dorado

December 22, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

How quickly things change. A couple of years again, any film with Robert Pattinson in would have screamed his presence from the rooftops. However, with The Lost City Of Z, you’d hardly know he was there (although the ridiculous beard in the last shot means we probably wouldn’t have recognised him anyway. Instead the focus is on Charlie Hunnam, and to a lesser extent Tom Holland.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on author David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller, THE LOST CITY OF Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region.

An epically-scaled tale of courage and obsession, told in Gray’s classic filmmaking style, THE LOST CITY OF Z is a stirring tribute to the exploratory spirit and those individuals driven to achieve greatness at any cost.’

The movie is due in cinemas next Spring. [Read more…]

Robert Pattinson Up For Claire Denis’ New Sci-fi Project

August 26, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Robert-PattinsonSince The Twilight Saga ended, Robert Pattinson has seemed to steer away from mainstream projects – although he does have the period adventure The Lost City Of Z coming up. You’d think a sci-fi flick would be a shameless bid for box office dollars, but when it’s directed by Claire Denis (Beau Travail) from a script by White Teeth’s Zadie Smith and her husband Nick Laird, it suggests this may be something unusual.

ScreenDaily has the news that Pattinson will star in Denis’ ambitious English-language debut, although what we still don’t know are the exact details of the plot. What we are aware of though is that it takes ‘place beyond the solar system in a future that seems like the present’.

Beyond Pattinson, Denis is pulling together an interesting bunch of people to help put the film together, including ‘Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, known for his Tate Modern installation The Weather Project; astrophysicist Aurélien Barrau, known for his work on black holes and cosmology; and Stuart Staples of indie band Tindersticks.’

The plan is to start shooting early next year.

Life Trailer – Dane DeHaan & Robert Pattinson take on James Dean & photographer Dennis Stock

August 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

life-slideIt feel like we’ve been waiting eons for Life, the film about the meeting between James Dean very early in his career and life photographer Dennis Stock. However the movie is now on its way and the trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘LIFE tells the story of photographer Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson) who convinced a rebellious young actor on the cusp of stardom, James Dean (Dane DeHaan) to allow him to shoot him for LIFE Magazine. The men take a trip from LA to Dean’s hometown of Fairmont, Indiana, via Times Square, New York so that Stock could, in his words, capture Dean in all the environments that had “affected and shaped the unique character “.

‘While Stock thinks he’s capturing a star in the moment before he breaks; in fact, he’s documenting Dean’s last moments of intimacy and simplicity. In the process of their journey, a deep affection and improbable friendship gradually develops between the two young men. Their trip would result in some of the most iconic images of the age and a new breed of film star.’

The movie is due out in the UK on September 25th. [Read more…]

Queen of the Desert Trailer – Nicole Kidman meets Robert Pattinson in the Middle East

July 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

queen-of-the-desert-slideReviews were rather mixed for Werner Herzog’s Queen of the Desert at its first festival screenings, but the trailer suggests it will at least look good. And if you’ve ever wanted to see Robert Pattinson as Lawrence Of Arabia, this is your chance.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A true story of the life of British explorer and adventurer, Gertrude Bell, QUEEN OF THE DESERT chronicles her journeys of love and loss in the Middle East during the early 20th century.

‘Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (THE PAPERBOY, RABBIT HOLE, AUSTRALIA, THE HOURS) stars alongside Academy Award nominated James Franco (SPRING BREAKERS, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, 127 HOURS), Golden Globe & Emmy Award winner Damian Lewis (“Homeland”, KEANE, “Band of Brothers”), and Robert Pattinson (THE ROVER, MAPS TO THE STARS, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS). A curious and adventurous young woman eager to explore the world outside of England, Gertrude Bell (Kidman) goes to the British embassy in Tehran where she quickly falls in love with a secretary of the embassy, Henry Cadogan (Franco). This sparks the beginning of a life-long adventure among the beautiful but misunderstood peoples and cultures of the Middle East. Along the way, her path intersects with archaeologist T.E. Lawrence (Pattinson) also known as Lawrence of Arabia, and Major Charles Doughty-Wylie (Lewis), the British Consul General in the Ottoman Empire.

‘The story of QUEEN OF THE DESERT is based on the true-life story of Gertrude Bell, who was a British political officer and archaeologist but ultimately a trailblazer on her terms. The story details the extraordinary adventures of Bell wrestling with the conflicts of love and tragedy, enemy and friend, and foreign and familiar as she sought to understand and unify people from different cultures.’ [Read more…]

Robert Pattinson & Carice Van Houten Join Guy Pearce In Brimstone

February 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Robert-PattinsonThere might have been a bit of a bromance on the set of The Rover, as Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce are reteaming for Brimstone. Pearce and Wasikowska have previously been announced, but it’s only now we’ve heard that Pattinson & Carice Van Houten will join them.

The movie is a suspenseful tale of guilt and retribution that unfolds at the end of the 19th century.  It’s described as ‘a dark, violent and epic western about a young woman (and her family) whose lives change drastically when a diabolical preacher comes to town. From the moment the new reverend climbs the pulpit, Liz knows she and her family are in great danger.’

Martin Koolhoven, best known for his work on Winter in Wartime, is writing and directing the movie, which is set to shoot in May. The film is currently looking for buyers at the Berlin Film Festival.

Charlie Hunnam Going To Lost City of Z With Robert Pattinson

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideIt’s taking a while to get the cast of Lost City Of Z cast together. A few months ago Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller came onboard, joining Benedict Cumberbatch. However the Sherlock star’s Doctor Strange commitments have cause him to drop out and so he’s now being replaced by Charlie Hunnam, according to Variety.

The film will be directed by James Gray, based on David Grann’s book about doomed Amazon explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett (Hunnam).

Here’s a few more details about the book: ‘In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world’s largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humankind. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions helped inspire Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions around the globe, Fawcett embarked with his twenty-one-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization—which he dubbed “Z”—existed. Then he and his expedition vanished.’

The movie should shoot later this year.

More Ice Bucket Challengers: Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Cruise, Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, Jamie Dornan, Eddie Redmayne & Robert Pattinson

August 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

benedict-cumberbatch-ice-bucketA lot of people have been enjoying the Ice Bucket Challenge (although there have inevitably been naysayers who seem determined to see a bad side of everything), and our earlier posts featuring a host of celebs getting wet in the name of charity have certainly been popular.

However we’ve certainly not run out of famous folk getting drenched to raise awareness and hopefully some cash for ALS, although as the brilliant video Benedict Cumberbatch put together below shows, in the UK it’s known as Motor Neurone Disease and so Brits can give a bit of cash to the MND Association to show their support, while in the US it’s the ALSA that should be getting your money.

Along with Cumberbatch’s rather epic multiple soakings, you can take a look below at Tom Cruise and Mission: Impossible 5 director Chris McQuarrie getting drenched, Channing Tatum teaming up with wife Jenna, Zac Efron showing he’s up for the challenge alongside Ashley Tisdale, Jamie Dornan and Eddie Redmayne doing it with each other, and Robert Pattinson proving just how wet a t-shirt can get.

And if you need proof of why this is important, take a look at the Ice Bucket Challenge video at the bottom of this post, which comes from a man who was recently diagnosed with the condition.

You also can take a look at our earlier Ice Bucket Challenge posts, featuring Matt Bomer, Chris Pratt, Joe Manganiello, Stephen Amell, Robert Downey Jr., Jesse Metcalfe, Lance Bass, and boyband Emblem3 and another with Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Vin Diesel, The Flash’s Grant Gustin and James Franco.

New Map To The Stars Trailer – Robert Pattinson reunites with David Cronenberg

August 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maps-to-the-stars-quad-largeBack in April we got the first trailer for David Cronenberg’s Map To The Stars, and now we get a fresh look with a UK promo, which shows off the great cast, including Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska, Sarah Gadon, Olivia Williams and Carrie Fisher.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Weiss family are an archetypical Hollywood dynasty – Dr Stafford Weiss (John Cusack) is a psychotherapist whose self-help books have made him a fortune. His wife Cristina (Olivia Williams) is the overbearing mom-ager of their thirteen-year old son, Benjie (Evan Bird), a prodigious child star fresh out of drug rehab and their estranged daughter Agatha (Mia Wasikowska) has recently been released from a psychiatric hospital. Agatha is now back in Hollywood making friends with a wannabe actor/writer limo driver named Jerome (Robert Pattinson) and with a new job as PA to one of Stafford’s clients – the neurotic and tempestuous actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), whose dream of reprising her dead mother’s starring role from the 1960s is beginning to haunt her.’

Map To The Stars is released in UK cinemas on September 26th, 2014. [Read more…]
