Rob to Star with Guy Pearce in “The Rover”
Sweet lord I must have done something good in the last few months because Rob and Guy Pearce in a film together is just too much. The last 24 hours have been heaven, but according to Variety
“Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce are in negotiations to star in David Michod’s “Rover.”
Pearce will star as a man who after having his car stolen by a group of men pursues them through the wild and rugged Australian Outback. Pattinson will portray one of the thiefs.
Michod will helm and wrote the script which based on an idea he and “Animal Kingdom” star Joel Edgerton originated. David Linde and Liz Watts will produce through Linde’s Lava Bear banner and Porchlight Films.
Pattinson is repped by WME and 3 Arts. Pearce is repped by CAA.”
Oh and girls its supposed to start filming in Australia in our Spring.   *_______________________________________*

I know right @Vicky. Hope it doesn’t turn out to be like New Zealand and Unbound Captives, but hey … Rob and Guy Pearce in a film. Jesus @Jules and I were just talking about Guy Pearce the other day saying how great it would be for Rob to do a film like Memento …
Anyone else you want Jules and I to talk about … just saying

@Maria, are you messing with us? I think I may have finally lost it ~ I could have sworn I read something about Rob and Guy Pierce and filming in Oz …..
OH MY SWEET LORD! I FEAR I MAY HAVE DIED 24 HOURS AGO AND NONE OF THIS IS REAL…..
Michelle

Vertigo
Too much epicness to process at once!!
Sue
haha @Michelle ~ I think somehow I’ve ended up in the same dream as you. I’m running SO late today, but I’m back here checking that I wasn’t hallucinating or something ……. Are you sure Maria’s not playing games with us? *still slapping and pinching self*
Jules
lmao Maria – we really did have that conversation. I had totally forgotten – Memento wasn’t it? LOL I know which other actor I mentioned in hoping Rob would work with him. I’ll just sit here and wait for tomorrow’s new role announcement. LOL Kidding – that was a joke…. 🙂
Maria
Yes Rob and Christian Bale or Marky Mark hell and Ryan Gosling please … Have I missed anyone – fassbender or Clive Owen would be nice
Maria
@LMAO Sue you’re not dead yet and it’s true
LTavares2012
Congratulations ladies!!! Rob in one more new project, and now with amazing Guy Pierce and filming in Australia!! It`s terrific!!!
Vicky
Just had to come back and check this was still here and that I hadn’t imagined it.
Jules
LOL @Maria. I don’t think you missed anyone in that list. Starts thinking positive Bale/Pattinson thoughts just in case….hoo boy.
@Sue lmao, be careful. Sounds like you’ll do yourself an injury. It’s really happening *group hug*
Can’t stop grinning, project sounds really, really interesting and on top of that he’ll be out there with you girls. 🙂
Cindy
An Aussie premiere girls???!! 😀
Martha M
Maria we all must have done something good to keep getting all exciting news. I’m so happy for all of you that he’ll be down under. You all deserve it.
Thank you so much for always keeping us up to date.
Michelle
OMG Cindy, just the thought of that makes me *____________________________* 😀
lise-lou
omfg omfg OMFG! Am I really awake? Or is the flu medication making me hallucinate? OMFG!
Cindy
Yep me too @Michelle 😀 And I am so there if that happens!
Michelle
LOL lise-lou I have SO been looking forward to your response. I still cannot believe the EPICNESS we woke up to this morning 😀
Me too Cindy, me too!!
Maria
LOL @Cindy let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but you would think so …
Cindy
Oh well @Maria one must cover all the possibilities! 😀
Maria
Hahaha @Cindy I would be lying if I said I hadn’t already thought of it too 😀
Imagine girls – all together at a premiere wherever they choose to hold it in Oz.
Maria
@Lisa your text response to me was priceless 😀
Maria
Michelle – wonder if Rob’s latest sporting attempt was to prepare him for the Bondi surf *giggles* I just tweeted that – a girl can dream right and wishful thinking since I don’t live far from that beach 😀
Cindy
Oh @Maria that image in my head at Bondi *THUD* x a trillion 😀
Maria
@Cindy only because it seems to be the stereotype in our films that “thieves” seems to be layabouts hanging around the beach LOL – again that might be wishful thinking and selective memory on my part *snorts*
kess
OMG what a mindblowing surprise. Awesome Aussies he will work with – and we can drool in person on the sidelines, wonder how much long service leave I have, hmmmmmmmmmmm.
He and Guy have much in common, fabulous jaws and cheekbones and gifted musicians and singers too bashful to put their music out there.
Michelle
Ever since you said that Maria the last teeny bit of focus I had has gone POOF hahaha. Imagine – just IMAGINE!!!! 😀
Vicky
An Australian premiere, oh dear lord, just the thought!!!!!!
Cindy
Hahaha @Maria too funny girl 😀
Carolyn
Well, well, well! This exciting news has definitely brought me out of my slump. I’ve been MIA for 4 & 1/2 weeks now (yes I’m counting), but this made me leap of out my sick bed (so to speak)! Nothing has had me this revved up in the last month! OMG, ROB WORKING IN AUSTRALIA WITH GUY!!! 🙂 *giggles and squeals*… And just the mere inkling of a thought about Aussie premieres and appearances has me giddy.
Maria
OMG @Carolyn I was only wondering yesterday what has happened to you. Hope you are feeling better – I know @lise-lou hasn’t been well for a few weeks too, but Rob is the best medicine.
This is beyond any of our expectations – it’s I’m sure something we’ve all wished and dreamed for, but with Guy … I think the only other person I would be just as excited about would be Simon Baker … or as we knew him Simon Baker-Denny 😀
Maria
LOL @kess I think we might have to pullout the infamous “Aussie sickies”
Michelle
Awww Carolyn, I am so so sorry to hear you’ve been sick 🙁 We’ve missed you. Rob is most definitely the BEST medicine in the world. Seriously that man can cure anything 😀 *BIG hugs to you & lise-lou*
I still cannot believe the epicness of today, it’s just too amazing for words. Rob in a movie with Guy Pearce AND filming in Australia – I have to keep saying it all the time to assure me it’s really true!
Awww Simon Baker-Denny 😀 I remember having a poster of him on my wall when I was younger & he was in Home & Away hehe. He’s done so so well, wonderful actor.
lise-lou
I am covered in bruises from pinching myself. I really thought I was dreaming this! If it can’t be Hugh then Guy freaking Pearce is a dream come true!
Lol Maria I swear you are the only person who can have me crying tears of joy first thing in the morning 😉
lise-lou
I am covered in bruises from pinching myself. I really thought I was dreaming this! If it can’t be Hugh then Guy freaking Pearce is a dream come true!
Lol Maria I swear you are the only person who can have me crying tears of joy first thing in the morning 😉
Jan
soon as i saw Rosb Pictured with Guy i thought ,hes coming to Australia,tears welled when you wrote it Maria, that would be so good, ,happy happy joy joy
Maria
Oh I know – wasn’t it me who was excited last year because I thought I saw Rob and Guy Pearce in the same frame at the Globes *giggles*. Guy Pearce and Rob together will melt the screen *tsssssssssssssssssssssss* Add Joel Edgerton to the mix and ding ding ding we have an Aussie winner.
Cannot wait to see remainder of cast – there must be some excited little Aussie actresses out there .. j/s
Michelle
LOL yep I remember that Maria. Rob, Guy & Joel all on the big screen. Gonna be SIZZLING!!
Lucky lucky Aussie actresses!! Ready & waiting for more info.
Maria
@Jan I know when I read it I think I forget to breathe – I could not post it fast enough. And I had Jamie tweeting “Where are the RPAustralia girls they are going to be beside themselves”. It was all happening. Thank God I woke up on time this morning because seeing Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce to headline .. yeah I just can’t even focus on anything else today.
lise-lou
And Joel Edgerton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG How did I miss that! This is just too amazing for words *cries*
Elane
Taking a sneak peek again at work – AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH fell of my chair. So freakin excited with this news, Rob another movie, back in OZ with Guy Pearce OMG I must have found a genie in a bottle so many wishes could not have come true without it 🙂 So so so excited cannot put words out there – thank you Maria for posting 😉 This has definitely made my DAY!!!!!!
Sue
LMAO @Everyone ~ you DO realise, don’t you, that we, the 1%, are all sounding just that ‘little tiny bit’ INSANE right now ….. or maybe it’s only me and the voices in my head, sitting in the naughty corner……
On a serious note, @Caroliyn ~ hope all this Rob medicine is helping. Hopefully just the thought of Rob back on Aussie soil is a miracle cure!
ps. @Maria, fountain of all knowledge ~ how exactly do we get to become movie extras?!!!
Maria
Well @Sue I will keep an eye out for the casting call for extras – hahaha OMG imagine.
As for the 1% sounding insane – we could never compete with the crazy that I have seen this week not in a million years. I have been speechless as the vulgarity and immaturity that I have witnessed and which I won’t go into since we have purposely avoided it. There are far more important things going on in Rob’s career.
Vicky
LOL Sue, I’ll take our level of crazy any time!!!! Trust, you are not alone in that naughty corner, in fact, at the rate we’re going we may need a whole room rather than just a corner LOL!!!!
Elane
Hi just peeking out from the naughty corner to check that it is REAL “yells back Yes girls it’s real and it”s happening” *squeals* 🙂 Yes I am very to be a member of the 1%
