@BlackBook includes The Rover & Map To The Stars in 30 Most Anticipated Films of 2014
And why wouldn’t they. According to BlackBook:
“THE ROVER
Director: David Michod, finally following up his outstanding 2010 debut, Animal Kingdom.
Concept: A loner tracks the gang who stole his car from a desolate town in the Australian outback.
Cast: Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy.
The Skinny: Animal Kingdom was one of the most confident, assured debuts of the last decade, and I have a strong feeling this will cement Michod as one of the great modern auteurs. Also, Guy Pearce has a knack for appearing in cult classics (Memento, LA Confidential), and Pattinson showed surprising chops in 2012′s Cosmopolis. – DH” [My emphasis]
“MAP TO THE STARS
Director:Â David Cronenberg, making his 18th film.
Concept: The entertainment industry’s relationship to Western civilization, as seen through the plight of two former child stars.
Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson, John Cusack.
The Skinny: Cronenberg is always worthwhile, and turning his cerebral, surreal eye on Hollywood could wield fascinating results. Wasikowska is becoming a great actress, and it’s nice to see Robert Pattinson leap into auteur-driven art house projects, post-Twilight fame. – DH” [My emphasis]
Love seeing comments like this about Rob. And they are on the money re Guy too.

These are great to read indeed 😀 It’s gonna be a blast to have all his movies hit the big screen in the next couple of years 😀
And I also want to wish you all a very Happy New Year ladies ! Bonne Année à vous toutes mesdames !
Leaving tomorrow morning for a week in the country with friends (2 1/4 hours drive north of Montreal), and while it’s summer in Australia, here we are in the beginning of a very very cold week brrrrr… think of me when you’ll be at the beach, I’ll be in a few feet of snow with a minus 25 or 30 Celcius LOL ! Another kind of beach with very white “sand” !!!
Again Best Wishes to you all !
Michelle
BlackBook, you are very smart people – LOVE their comments. So much to look forward to in 2014 – I absolutely cannot wait 😀
It sure is Lynda, how lucky are we. Oh WOW, that is very cold indeed YIKES, hope you can keep as warm as possible. Take care & hope you have a lovely time with your friends 😀
Maria
Thank you @Lynda. Wishing you a very Happy New Year too and have fun with your friends in the country. Brrr that is cold!
See you in 2014 and agree it’s going to be so good seeing Rob’s films over the next few years. I can’t wait.
Have a safe and fun New Year’s Eve everyone *hugs*
Trish
Yay! *hops up and down* Two new Rob films for 2014! Have SO missed him on the big screen this year – I guess the whole ‘extended anticipation’ thing from the Dior campaign has proven to be a very effective erm… stimulant. Hee hee! Michod and Cronenberg film = good value. Michod, Cronenberg, Pattinson films = jackpot.
@Lynda – I much prefer your ‘white sand’ than ours – I’d trade places with you any day! Have a wonderful holiday!
Jules
Excite!! This is wonderful to read – thanks so much Maria and of course loving your emphasis!!
@Lynda *waves* Happy New Year to you too and have a wonderful time with your friends – stay warm – some how!! Take care *mwah*
Jules
Damn, I meant to say I love the edit with them both there!! 🙂
