Thanks @desoonz for heads up
Updated: Â According to Deauville’s website
“New Hollywood Paying tribute to the future through an invitation to a jewel in the crown of tomorrow’s American cinema”
This is what is listed under “Premieres”
According to @StudioL’Equipe:
 
Rob’s certainly going to be busy in early September.
More about “The New Hollywood”  from Deauville website:
“2011| 37th Festival
…
The Festival also inaugurated its “New Hollywood†in inviting an actress and/or actor, young jewels in American cinema’s future crown, to Deauville”.
Past recipients have been: Â Jessica Chastain, Ryan Gosling (2011), Paul Dano (2012)
According to Telerama:
“The new Judd Apatow and Terrence Malick, the film Anton Corbijn on James Dean screened in the presence of Robert Pattinson, will shine a competition where the young independent cinema: a beautiful program for the 41st American Film Festival of Deauville in early September. [my emphasis]
…
Ultra-glamor, sitting Life, Anton Corbijn: Dutch photographer and filmmaker will be accompanied by his two interpreters “hot”, Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan, who plays James Dean. The film tells indeed (necessarily) short friendship between actor and a magazine photographer of Life.”
And Telerama posted back on 5 August:
“Also murmuse the evening of Saturday, September 5th will be warm, with the presentation of Life, Anton Corbijn, the story of the friendship between James Dean and Dennis Stock Life photographer whose shots did much to the nascent glory comedian. The Dutch filmmaker will be there and his two actors “hot”, Robert Pattinson (the photographer) who needs no introduction, and Dane DeHaan (Jimmy Dean), “it boy” and Luc Besson Valérian future. Life released in stride September 9.”
Time will tell if Telerama is spot on or not.  We shall keep you posted, because Rob’s been confirmed in both places apparently, unless Rob attends the Sunday screening of The Childhood of a Leader in Venice.

How BEAUTIFUL is that pic. Major excites re: the award, congrats Rob – sooooo deserved. Thanks Maria, look forward to hearing more 🙂
ITA – The photo is amazing @Michelle. I suspect there would be a bit of pressure for the Life stills photographer. Whoever they are, they are proving up to the task with the wonderful images we have seen.
I hope this is true. Rob is being quietly recognised by his peers over the last few years, but it still would be nice to see award shows start to judge Rob on his current work… plus there is Red Carpet Rob. Gotta love the idea of that
Thank you, Maria! Gorgeous pic!
Good for Rob! I don’t know why it’s taking others so long to figure out what we have known for years.
Well said Sanguine!! 🙂 Congrats to Rob – how wonderful and exciting to read this!! Thanks so much for the updates Maria and I BARELY survived that new still – oh hello new favourite *runs to photoshop*
And for the first time, I think I’m actually jealous of a blank wall …….
Oh, congrats to Rob, too, of course!
I am so happy for him. Congratulations Robert Pattinson, well deserved. Respected by his peers and true fans for his talent and integrity.
Great news, but I can’t get past staring at that gorgeous photo… I’ll re-read it again and wait for it to sink in. After I take another peak at that photo…!
Hello Maria. I had not heard from Transmissions so I thought I would phone them. I just spoke to a very sweet young lady and she said I will be receiving a response in a day or two.
I still find it all a crock and I am still fuming.
Will let you know as soon as I receive the email. xxx
