@indiewire “Robert Pattinson … the unexpected Prince of Cannes”

6 comments

I’m loving all these anticipated lists for Cannes.  Indiewire includes both films on their Cannes wish list:

“”Maps to the Stars”
Director: David Cronenberg
A near certainty for Cannes 2014, David Cronenberg’s follow up to his divisive “Cosmopolis” once again teams the director with Robert Pattinson, this time alongside a dreamy ensemble including Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Olivia Williams and Carrie Fisher (as herself!). Said to be a “vicious look at a twisted Hollywood dynasty” and a takedown of the industry altogether, “Maps” sure sounds juicy. It’s already been rated by the MPAA (and given an “R,” which is clearly no surprise given Cronenberg’s history), so it should be just a matter of waiting for Cannes to announce the lineup at this point.”

“The Rover”
Directed by David Michod
Best known for “Animal Kingdom” — the Australian crime drama that secured Jacki Weaver her first Oscar nomination — David Michod once again uses his Australian background for “The Rover,” a futuristic crime drama with Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson (the latter of whom is quickly becoming the unexpected Prince of Cannes as of late). Pearce stars as Eric, a man who teams up with Rey (Pattinson), an injured criminal, to hunt down the gang that stole from him. A24 is releasing the film in America in June, and we’re sure they’d love the profile Cannes would give them beforehand.”
