Rumour: Is Pendragon Rob’s Next Project *Updated*
How desperate are we to hear of what Rob might be doing? In two words – very desperate and so here’s the rumour doing the rounds today. According to Spunk-Ransom and @gossipygal, the Tracking Board is stating “Robert Pattinson Heads to the Round Table for Pendragon”. The article goes on to say:
“Robert Pattinson has been offered one of the lead roles in the new King Arthur retelling PENDRAGON, filling in one of the spots left open after Eric Bana and Michael Fassbender dropped out of the production. Project is a reimagining of the founding of Camelot by King Arthur, with Pattinson up for the role of the fabled king. Pattinson’s potential casting projects a different light on the project, signaling a possible change in tone for the production than when Bana and Fassbender were considered for the leads.
Sylvain White is directing from a script by Lee Shipman and Brian McGreevy, with Michael Connolly producing.”Â
So according to IMDbPro the movie is “In Development” and the storyline is “The origin story of Camelot and its inhabitants–Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, Galahad and Merlin”. As yet there is no mention of cast, but I’ll keep you posted.
What role might be Rob’s, well according to It’s On The Grid, Bana and Fassbender were offered Lancelot and Arthur respectively. Ooh the plot thickens. Imagine Rob in one of these roles.  {Maria: In all my excitement of the Giselher gif I forgot it said that Rob’s been offered Arthur *facepalms*. Forgive me … it couldn’t be helped and I was too sidetracked doing research LOL)
I know it’s only rumour and well we might have to add it to the pile of previous rumours like Akira, The Crow (bwahaha sorry I don’t think I ever took this one seriously) and who can forget The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (remember Rob apparently had the script for this too). Well we know Rob’s definitely got something up his sleeve, but my patience is starting to run out LOL. C’mon Rob – just tell us already.
Better dust off the giselher gif *giggles*

@Vertigo thanks for reminding me that you predicted we “might” hear about a new project this week. Put it out there in the universe and hopefully the Gods will hear!
Michelle
*claps hands* the possibility of a new Rob project!! The excitement of a new Rob role is like no other. Oh please let us know & SOON if this is indeed true.
Vertigo your prediction might just be right 😀 *crossed fingers & toes tight*
Oh & Rob on horseback 😀
Vicky
At this point i’d be happy to hear he was running for Prime Minister, anything, any news LOL!!! Let’s hope we hear something concrete soon.
Maria
LMAO @Vicky – it would be the only time I’d pay attention to politics at ALL!
Sue
haha @Vicky …. I’d be MORE than happy if he’d run for PM! Let’s hope we hear something definite soon, whatever it is.
Vertigo
If Rob were President I’d follow him to Timbuktoo if he asked me.
LOL Maria and Michelle! and now we wait some more …
Vertigo
actually I’d follow him anywhere even if he wasn’t President. *hangs head*
Maria
@Vertigo – Long Live the King!
Vertigo
LOL Maria! Exactly!!!
mema

Maria
It’s not confirmed yet @mema – but it’s something 🙂
Martha M
Oh God I’ll be praying on me knees with rosary beads in my hands. I hope he accepts. Wow Rob on a horse….. *droolsonkeyboard*
Maria
Exactly @Martha if we aren’t going to ever get Phineas at least give us Arthur – I think that’s only fair Rob *smilessweetly*
Jules
Oh wow! This sounds fantastic, thanks so much Maria….I’ll definitely keep everything crossed for luck! *goes off to daydream about our knight in shining armour*
Martha M
Yes Rob, please! *smilingsweetlywithyouMaria*
Michelle
LOL Vertigo, Timbuktoo – me too. Follow him anywhere we would *nods* Long live the king indeed Maria 😀
liz
oooh!!!!!
Surely Lancelot would be the pick of the two right?
I’m not much of history buff, but I see Rob as more of a passionate Richard Gere type than the cuckolded Sean Connery….
Rob in shining armour….
[expletive inferred]
Maria
Surely you jest @Liz lol
Neither of them even come close to being compared to Rob 🙂
Carmel
I’m thinking by ‘origin’ they mean the early years, then I believe that was when Arthur was at his peak and commanded the love and respect of his pears, formed the Knights of the Round Table and created the legendary Camelot etc. . Arthur would most definitely be the Alfa male.
God. I am so desperate for news. I hope this is true.
@Vicky – LOL – Rob running for PM. We could market – Rob for the Top Job.
Carolyn
I knight thee Sir Rob!
silvie
This is really exciting news. I hope it’s true and that Rob will take the part. A Robfix is necessary. What a great site that we can log onto and get such wonderful information.Thank you all and well done Vertigo. Let’s just hope that the rumour is not a rumour.
lise-lou
Ohhhhhh this sounds exciting! Keep putting that vibe out there Vertigo, your powers know no boundaries 🙂
Loving the gif Maria!
