If I had started writing this wrap up on Wednesday morning it would have started something like this:  *Sobbinguncontrollably*. First no movie with Robert De Niro. Now no drug dealing, leather clad motorbike Rob. What is wrong with this world. I don’t want to see Divergent|Insurgent|Belligerent or whatever the next “ent” will be. I saw Twilight I don’t need no more franchises. What I want is interesting stories and new characters, even if I did see Inherent Vice and I have no idea what I watched. At least it made me think rather than roll my eyes so far back I saw yesterday. Ugh. At least I woke up to that new outtake from Autumn de Wilde. Thank you Autumn you clearly knew how sad I was. BUT instead it’s going to start off with “OMfreakingG” Rob’s in final talks to costar with Al Pacino, Idris Elba, Benecio Del Toro and *cough* James Franco *cough*. I think the only other costar other than Pacino that would have made me wipe those tears away from no Bobby DeNiro would be Jack Nicholson. *CARTWHEELS*. So now the “Harmony Korine Untilted Project” has become “The Trap” on our Films page. I haven’t completely discounted that Assayas has given up on Idol’s Eye, but Rob’s getting busier and busier like he promised, so you just never know. And it’s not like his age will make a difference so we could see it sometime in the next few years. I’m going to go with that because I just can’t believe that they could not get financing for that film. Two new castmates have been added to The Childhood of a Leader and I speculated about whether we would see the film premiere at either Venice or TIFF in September 2015. Variety confirmed that it’s not ready to be at Cannes – like 2 months is even remotely possible for a new director to unleash his first attempt at one of the most prestigious international film festivals. *rollseyes* at Variety’s clickbait that worked since I read the article ha! Michelle reintroduced The Year That Was with her 2012 Cannes gifs and I posted one of my favourite interviews during Rob’s Sydney promo of Breaking Dawn Pt 2. I love how Rob gives us great moments and soundbites from interviews. Hmmmm maybe I should go through each promo and put together a post for best soundbites|reactions from Rob.  Michelle also took us on a walk down memory lane with her Letter “H” – the handprint ceremony felt like it was just yesterday and I didn’t really expect to be standing in Rob’s shoes last year, but I did and it was glorioius. Peter Lindbergh is trying to make me look like a liar by confirming the photoshoot for a new Dior campaign – shrugs – I’m just reporting what I’m told. Maybe it’s early days and they don’t know either. Time will tell I guess. Better to have low expectations and be surprised than high and be disappointed. Maps to the Stars DVD came out in Oz. I hope you all went out and bought it. And I didn’t predict how nostalgic I would get when I saw Edward Cullen on my TV. I’m probably going to watch Twilight tonight even though I have the DVDs. The first film is still my favourite of the series. Who would have tought. Until next week when hopefully we get some release dates for Queen of the Desert and Life … just putting it out there.
