I don’t know where to begin.  Rob’s birthday, Cannes markets selling distribution deals for Rob’s films, current films finding distributors – it’s all happening.  What a week.  We started celebrating the lead up to Rob’s 29th birthday early, but not only did we get to celebrate Rob’s birthday (how fortunate were we to be treated by Jules with those icons, edits & wallpapers. We’re blessed I tell ya), we’re celebrating some great updates for movie news as well.  Queen of the Desert finally found a US distributor with a potential release date in September 2015. No doubt Turkey should also see the film then since they tweeted that they would release same time as US. Brimstone found some financiers in New Sparta Films and they let us know that filming would be happening in Germany and Spain in June with some shoots in Romania later this year. Brimstone also “inked” distribution deals with France and Germany *tapsfootAustralia!* They may have also teased us with a pic of a ranch being built *whispersinasecretlocation* and we all got excited because isn’t Rob’s character supposedly hiding out on the ranch owned by Carice van Houten’s character. Carice also tweeted a photo of herself being used as a lifecast by UnrealFX. Things are happening a la Brimstone *twirls*. Cannes is also happening sans Rob in person, but his presence is still there. I tweeted a full page ad that Embankment Films has taken out in the first edition of Cannes 2015: Screen Dailies – love seeing Brimstome mentioned. More news out of Cannes concerned The Trap. I’m ignoring that there was no mention of Rob – semantics. We also found out that it will be filming early 2016. I found some more distributors for Queen of the Desert and Life – slowly but surely. I’m still disappointed that neither film made it on the schedule for the Sydney Film Festival but if I’m being honest, they haven’t had any classification confirmed yet in Australia so am keeping a keen eye on that. I came across and tweeted an uncropped version of one of the Esquire phototshoot pics, but it was so small it wasn’t worth posting separately on the site. Am still hunting for a larger version of it. You know it’s out there somewhere. I loved that wider shot to be honest.  We were also treated to that photo of Rob from Cannes 2014 Vanity Fair|Armani Party. Again, just teasing us because seriously WHY IS ROB NOT THERE in 2015. Oops sorry. Lastly I tweeted the Japanese version of The Rover trailer – I miss that film so much. Hmm it’s release is 2 days after my birthday – Tokyo is only an 8 hour trip away – could I justify a weekend in Japan *tapschin*. The music is so hauntingly beautiful. I’m lucky to have been given a copy of the soundtrack by Porchlight. Treasured memories. Until next week …

Thank you, another great week. So much great news to report.
Rob’s birthday week was always going to be epic – because RPAU knows how to PARTY!
I was going to say how birthday weeks always rock at RPAU, but Carmel said it more succinctly. It certainly was epic, thanks to all the girls here treating us to some beautiful Rob memories to mark his special day. And Jules…! those unforgettable images! Brilliant run-down, Maria. Japan sounds like a great idea – I think you should go!
