Happy Friday all or for those who aren’t quite there yet, you can still enjoy some random Rob

Oh my Lord – here’s your chance to submit a question to Rob & Guy.  Total Film have just announced:

“ … we’ll be hosting a Google Hangout with the stars of sci-fi drama The Rover, Msrs Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce.

Directed by Animal Kingdom‘s David Michod, The Rover is a gripping tale of two men forced together to survive in a dystopian Australian outback. Tense, terse and sparse, it’s a serious departure for Pattinson and acts as an acting tour de force for Pearce.

We’re hosting a live Google Hangout with them both Wednesday 6 August at 2pm for a 20 minute chat. We want YOUR questions to ask the cast. To be in with a chance of chatting to them direct, we need you to:

1. Follow the Total Film Google+ page (if you have a Gmail or YouTube account, you also have a Google+ account).

2. Say you’ll be watching on the Google Hangout itself.

3. Submit your question in the comments section of the Google Hangout – and then we’ll pick a lucky few on Monday 4 August.

It’ll be streaming live below too on the day

Of course we will be re-posting this again next Wednesday 6 August 2014 (which should be Weds 6 August 11.00 pm AEST).

Looks like we are getting plenty of Rob news and confirmations today.   We posted here about pre-orders and possible release date for The Rover in the US.  Now thanks to Blu-Ray.com the US DVD release for The Rover is confirmed as 23 September 2014.  Details below:

Here’s the press release from Lionsgate and cover art thanks to Home Theatre Forum:

:

Fueled by engaging performances from Golden Globe^® nominee Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) and what Variety calls “a career-redefining performance from Robert Pattinson” (The Twilight Saga franchise, Cosmopolis), The Rover arrives on Blu-ray^™ Disc (plus Digital HD) and DVD (plus Digital) September 23 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The tension-filled film, which was released theatrically by A24, was an Official Selection of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The Rover, directed by visionary writer/director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom), also stars Scoot McNairy (TV’s “Halt and Catch Fire,” upcoming Gone Girl).

Set in a world 10 years into the general collapse of society, The Rover follows hardened loner Eric (Pearce) as he travels the desolate towns and roads of the outback. When a gang of thieves steals his car, they leave behind a wounded Rey (Pattinson). Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that still matters to him.

I have been hoping we would see an Australian release date for The Rover on Blu-ray & DVD very soon, I cannot wait to own the film.  FilmInk lists The Rover to be released on Blu-ray & DVD & digital on October 15 2014.  While this is not set in stone or confirmed, it’s good to see a date. Hopefully we’ll be able to confirm the date very soon & be able to pre-order.  We’ll of course let everyone know once this happens.

We’ve posted pre-order/release dates/sign up to be notified info here & here for all the countries that have been announced so far.

UPDATED:  Roadshow have confirmed to RPAU today (30 July 2014) that the above date (15 October 2014) is currently slated as the release date for the DVD/Blu-ray in Australia.

Preorder at Sanity here.  Thanks Cindy for the heads up
