Sweet JESUS!!!!!!!! If only we knew how prophetic our conversations about Jude Law were the other day in relation to Dior. Now we are going to see him up on screen with Rob. I swear to God I might self combust. Jude Law is the ONLY reason I watched Cold Mountain and didn’t walk out. Martha are you alive???
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
“Jude Law is joining the cast of the film, which headlines Naomi Watts as Bell and Robert Pattinson as T.E. Lawrence, otherwise known as Lawrence of Arabia.
“It is a great opportunity to be working with such acclaimed talent on such an important project. We look forward to seeing Werner Herzog make this exciting piece of history come alive for a global audience,” Sierra/Affinity CEO Jude Law said.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin in Morocco in March 2013. [Guess we know were Rob’s headed after he leaves Australia]”
I guess @cassianelwes wasn’t teasing re UK actor!
OMG how AWESOME is this news!! I swear my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I read it. Rob, Jude & Naomi Watts – what a BRILLIANT cast. I LOVE Jude, seeing Rob & him together on the big screen will be absolutely amazing. 2013 just keeps on getting better & better 😀
Oh dear heaven! How exciting and that’s what I thought too re the prophecy of those conversations this week Maria. You put it out to the universe and here it is. 😀
Oh so true re: the Jude conversations the other day. Don’t you just love it when that happens 😀
I’m literally covered in goosebumps reading this – stellar cast as it doesn’t get much better than Law, Pattinson, Watts and Herzog directing. We definitely put it out there in the universe when talking Dior/Law/Rob so very prophetic. Rob will have an artistically satisfying year in 2013 – and I for one am glad he’s kicking it off here in SA with Michod.
Me too MichelleC, Rob kicking off what will be an epic year, right here in Oz, cannot get any better than that – exciting 🙂
@MichelleC – I know it’s way beyond expectations. He’s going to have an amazing 2013 – which he deserves and I too can’t think of a better way for him to start either than in SA.
Wow! I would love to be a fly on the wall when Martha reads this… or maybe we will hear her reaction from down here anyway
I think we might Carmel, she’ll be so excited. Cannot wait for her reaction 🙂
OMFG!! I can’t really type what i said when i read that. I really think i’ll have to leave my family & become a set groupie now. Rob & Jude together in a movie someone pinch me I must be dreaming. No don’t! What a beautiful dream, dont ever wake me.
Big smiles from me! Great news, and another reason why SA is looking so enticing in 2013!
@nicki I know! I’ve always wanted to go to Morocco (then England where I believe they are shooting) … good thing OzLotto is $100 million next Tuesday – let’s make a deal – if one of us wins we do an RPAU tour to Morocco via SA – who is with me on that??? I”m thinking Iraq isn’t really somewhere we want to be – even with Rob as the incentive.
@Maria. I’m in!
ps. And just ignore that previous idiotic comment of mine re SA and Jude Law ~ I’m still blaming my medication …..LOL
LOL @Sue understandable though – that news is epic. Wait until we get Martha’s reaction … she loves Jude almost as much as Rob 🙂
@Maria ….. every time Martha comments I wish there was a video attached of her reacting ~ this will be no different!
Off to buy my OzLotto ticket now.
@Sue – Martha could set up her own blog doing reaction videos. RPAU could link it on the sidebar.
I’m in with OzLotto deal. I’ve loved Jude since Gattaca and I’ve loved Rob since Goblet of Fire. My two fav Brit thespians in the one pic – unbelievable! Not to mention Naomi she is exquisite. Come to SA gals we’ll find a way to help out on set in the Flinders 🙂
Have just got back from melbourne. Wasnt totally. Robsalated but have lots of videos to watch as dont like using the moblie. Bb to watch. Uses it to quick fantastic news. You are going n places babe. Whoohooo and if I win oz lotto private jet for all at rpau to go via s.a. to Morocco. Sounds like aplan to me!
AHHHHHH!!!! OMG, OMG, OH. MY. GOD!!!!!
Holy Fuck!!! Is this really happening to me??? OMG it like a dream come true my two favorite English men in one screen at the same time!!!!
I can’t believe this. Dear God I think I’m going to have a heart attack. Someone please pinch, sock me, or kick me on the ass. I just need to make sure this isn’t a dream. I’m not dreaming am I?
For those you who know my email, this is exactly why I chose it . My lawpatz togther??? Holy shit, I don’t know what I’ve done, but I must have done somthing good!!!
Maria thank you so, so much for this great news. How I’ll be able to sleep, I have no idea. I’m just too excited. Wow!!! I think I’ll go cry now. Oh yeah they’re coming those tears of mine that seem to be endless.
@Martha I didn’t want to email you because I just wanted you to be surprised when you came onto the site. I knew you would be beside yourself. Hell I’m beside myself because I love Jude. Now we just need Rob to be in a movie with Edward Norton and I think my world will be complete. Oh and maybe Clive Owen … but I’d love for Rob to be in a film with Jack Nicholson … because I think he’d maybe wet himself for reals LOL.
I have been looking forward to your reaction so much Martha. Couldn’t wait for you to read this epic news 😀 How FANTASTIC is it. Your two faves together on the big screen – OMG!!! Seriously 2013 just keeps getting better & better by the day.
LOL Maria re: Rob working with Jack Nicholson. I think he would too. Would love to see him in a movie with Jack – imagine!!
I almost went to bed without checking the site. I walked in about 40 minutes ago and it’s almost 1:30am. But something told me to check it out.
OMG I am besides myself. Both of my Brits together??? What more can a gal ask for.
Maria you’re probably right, Rob would wet himself FOR REALS!!! Ha ha ha!!!
I still can’t believe it! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine or dream this could be possible. *sniffsniffwipesattears*
Maria you said it right “almost” as much as Rob.
@Martha the other day when Cassian Elwes said they got their first choice and he’s a Brit I never ever thought about Jude. For some reason I was thinking about an older actor … it’s funny that we were all talking about Jude though.
Isn’t it? And now they are both Dior men. I saw the vid of Jude a while back and thought it was so amazing. God I do hope Rob makes one too.
I better head off to bed now. God it’s so late. Thanks again @Maria for the exciting news. I’m off to dream of my English muffins…….. From my mouth to Gods ears ha ha ha!
HaHaHaha – Rob WOULD wet himself if he got cast next to Jack. And we know he would tell us he did too!
This is FANTASTIC news – seriously, what a freaking wonderful cast this is shaping up to be. I just am so excited for Rob – is it 2013 yet? I can not WAIT for these new projects – can’t decide which movie I’m most looking forward to from him but this one is right up there. I’ve bought several books for research LOL So exciting!! Thrilled for all you girls who are massive fans of Jude too – I admit he wasn’t on my radar much until recently and that Dior ad. I may just be seeing the light hahaha
I’m definitley buying lottery tickets too – I’ll let you know how that goes….am SO up for a tour with you all. You’ll accept someone from Scotland right?? 😀
Haha ~ I’m imagining Martha trying to sleep right now, tossing and turning ……
@Jules ~ jump aboard!
Best news of the days Maria! Thx!!!
