Robert Pattinson Films Possibly Heading to Cannes 2017

I tweeted a link to Indiewire’s article Cannes Wishlist; 50 Films That Have a Serious Shot at the 2017 Festival Lineup last night, but for those who don’t have Twitter, here are the explanations for including Damsel and Good Time.  It wouldn’t be the first time Robert had two films at Cannes *fingerscrossed*

“Damsel”
Directors: David and Nathan Zellner
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska
WHY IT MIGHT GET IN: Austin-based sibling directors David and Nathan Zellner went from eccentric local favorites to nationally-beloved auteurs with the release of their Sundance breakout “Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter,” a dark comedy about a Japanese woman who thinks “Fargo” is real and goes in search of treasure alongside her scene-stealing bunny, Bunzo. The film was proof the Zellners could handle a bigger scale and name actors, which helped them land Pattinson and Wasikowska for this bizarre-sounding comedic western about a businessman wandering mountainous terrain with his fiancee. Early images from the set found Pattinson roaming the landscape with both a rifle and a guitar, which should give you a sense of the potential genre-busting style on display here. The Zellners are overdue to break out on the international circuit, and this is just the kind of strangely alluring story to do it. -Eric Kohn

“Good Time”
Directors: Ben Safdie, Joshua Safdie
Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Robert Pattinson, Barkhad Abdi
WHY IT MIGHT GET IN: Joshua and Bennie Safdie have been fixtures of the American film scene ever since launching their first two features, “The Pleasure of Being Robbed” and “Go Get Some Rosemary” (also titled “Daddy Long Legs”) at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight back in 2008 and 2009. Since then, the New York filmmakers’ admirers have only grown (Martin Scorsese has signed on to executive produce their next film “Uncut Gems”) — especially after their innovative and critically acclaimed “Heaven Knows What” premiered at Venice and Toronto in 2014. Their newest film “Good Time,” starring Robert Pattinson as a bank robber, looks to be another big step forward for the Safdies. After seeing footage of the crime drama, which features the “Twilight” star trying to avoid a dragnet, “Moonlight” distributor A24 picked up the film last fall. -CO
