Robert Pattinson will attend 'Cosmopolis' New York premiere

Despite what's been going on in his personal life, Robert Pattinson will be on hand to promote the upcoming release of his film withDavid CronenbergCosmopolis.

According to People, Pattinson's representative confirmed his coming attendance of the August 13th New York City premiere of Cosmopolis, saying "Cosmopolis is a film that Robert is very proud of and looks forward to supporting ... No confirmed engagements have been canceled. Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate."

 

Cosmopolis opens in New York and Los Angeles on August 17th, with a wider release scheduled for August 24th.

Pattinson told Den of Geek that he hopes his Twilight fanbase will enjoy the picture, saying "I think the Twilight fanbase are much maligned because of their tenacity. We were in Germany yesterday and it was a miserable day and they were all waiting in the middle of nowhere and everyone was screaming, but then you go down the line and people are giving you books and stuff. So it’s not like they’re giving you teddy bears! Twilight’s attracted a broad spectrum of people and they’ve all been lumped together. A lot of people who’ve come to the premieres in Europe have seen the film three or four times already and they all have quite interesting critiques of it."

This is a little something for those who are curious about the movie or the book which it was based upon. Enjoy. ;)

 'The Rover' gets Greenlight
Press release-source/via
Screen Australia has announced almost $20 million investment in a diverse slate of feature films, adult television drama projects and children’s television series. The investment in 12 projects will trigger $100 million in production.

Features approved include The Rover, a futuristic Western from the producer and writer/director of Animal Kingdom, Liz Watts and David Michôd. Michôd will join Watts and David Linde (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as a producer. The film’s cast includes world-class acting talents Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce.

Screen Australia’s Chief Executive Ruth Harley said, “These four highly engaging and diverse Australian stories have huge potential. The Rover is a powerful well-crafted script from a talented team with an impressive cast. Anna Broinowski’s Aim High in Creation is a distinctive, ambitious film with a humorous and entertaining story. Felony has international breakout potential and Healing promises to be a highly emotional and moving story on screen.”

Synopsis The Australian desert in a dangerous and damaged near future. Eric has left everything, everyone and every semblance of human kindness behind him. And then he has his last possession stolen by a gang of dangerous criminals. Eric sets off on a ruthless mission to track them down, forced along the way to enlist the help of Rey, the naïve and injured junior member of the gang, who was left behind in the bloody chaos of the gang’s most recent robbery. 

From THR
SYDNEY -- On the day everyone learned that his girlfriend Kristen Stewart had strayed, Robert Pattinson's new starring role was given the greenlight.

Screen Australia said it will provide production financing for a previously announced Australian feature film project, The Rover, from Animal Kingdom writer-director David Michod. The Twilight star and Guy Pearce are both attached.

Set in the Australian desert, the futuristic western tells the story of Eric, who has left everything, everyone and every semblance of human kindness behind him, as he’s forced to join an injured gang member, Rey, to hunt down Rey’s gang after they steal the last of Eric’s possessions.

The Rover is produced by Porchlight Films in association with Los Angeles-based Lava Bear Films, with Liz Watts, David Linde and Michod producing. Film Nation will handle international sales, and Roadshow Films will be the Australian distributor.
The Rover is one of four features, four adult TV dramas and four kids TV series to receive $20 million of production funding from agency Screen Australia, triggering more than $100 million worth of production here.

 Director & producer scouting locations\Full article at the source
 The actor, who has a mass worldwide fan base thanks to The Twilight Saga films, will play a thief in the Outback in Animal Kingdom director David Michod’s futuristic western The Rover.

Guy Pearce has also been confirmed for the shoot, which will start in South Australia in late January next year.

Michod and producer Liz Watts scouted locations across SA, including the Flinders Ranges, earlier this month.

Flinders Ranges Mayor Peter Slattery said it would be a treat if Pattinson were in the region during the seven-week on-location shoot. Another two weeks will be shot at the Adelaide Studios.

“I daresay it would induce a bit of excitement in the area,” he said. “The spin-off effect is that the attention on them cross-promotes the area that we’re in. We certainly would be most enthused about him coming.”

Pattinson will have the choice of SA’s best Outback hospitality, from Wilpena Pound, luxury homestead Arkaba Station and Rawnsley Park Luxury Eco Villas to iconic tourist destination the Prairie Hotel in Parachilna.

The South Australian Film Corp has invested $450,000 in the project, which was approved in the latest round of Screen Australia funding.

The Rover’s overall funding budget is $12,250,000.

Hi PEI

I do plan to see this one so I read the book.  It is a very interesting story and a very quick read.  You can read it in about three/four hours.  I think you or someone did provide a summary earlier and it is very much on the mark; however, if you do not read the summary or the book, it may be hard to follow without some kind of frame.  While it is not my normal style, I did find it quite interesting and saw immediately the value of turning it into a film.  If Pattinson plays this role as written, I agree with those who saw it as being award worthy.  This character is very complexed and to bring him to life will require depth.  This story places Rob in the same role Kristen has as Bella....having to bring the mind of the character to life.  It is Eric Packers' mindset that tells the story.  It was not a book that I would normally pick up to read and it is not one I would read again, but like I said, I wanted context as I plan to see it.   Thanks for the info!
