It’s 2017 and we have so much to look forward to – The Lost City of Z, Damsel, Good Time coming to cinemas near you (we hope).  As you know, I like to wrap up the previous year and reflect on what delights Robert has given us. (If  you’re feeling a little nostalgic -check out our Masterpost for The Year That Was …)  Back in July I posted my 6 Months in Review so I won’t repeat everything that I said there, I did end it off with wonder what surprises Robert has for the next 6 months and he did not disappoint.  July treated us with new stills of Charles Marker for The Childhood of a Leader and a new clip of Charles Marker talking the tragedies of Pontius Pilate.  Ian Beck who wrote The Summer House shared some new stills that I definitely had not seen.  The biggest surprise in July was Robert filming The Zellner Bros film “Damsel” with Mia Wasikowska. So under the radar that it was a complete surprise to all of us. Sneaky sneaky.  Toronto was displaying Robert’s shoes from Remember Me as part of the Bata Shoes Museum. In the first week of August The Lost City of Z was announced as the closing film of the New York Film Festival.  That gave us hope that we would finally see Robert promoting one of his films.  It had felt so long since we had seen him on a red carpet promoting. John Tsiavas gave us some new photos of Rey from The Rover – happy days.  Brady Corbet and Robert gave us a new interview for the UK release of The Childhood of a Leader and with that we had a new photoshoot. Kodak Film also gave us a BTS photo of Brady and Mona with the cast.  We also got news that Robert is possibly working with Mona Fastvold on her next film project “The Bleaching Yard” although no official information has come through as yet.  We had some set photos from Damsel, although I only posted one of them and we ended August with some L’uomo Vogue photos finally in HQ.  Damsel started off September in post production.  Some chatter started up about The Trap and Oliver Assayas hinted at Idol’s Eye being back on track. September ended with a bang and another surprise – Dior Nocturnal Spring campaign shot by Karl Lagerfeld.  We also got a gorgeous Capital FM photo in UHQ from The Rover press junket/promo  Robert was announced in October as Co-Chair with Ewen McGregor for the Go Gala Charity Event to be held in November. Oliver Assayas mentioned at NYFF again that Idol’s Eye might be back on track.  Robert was confirmed to attend world premiere of The Lost City of Z at NYFF and boy did we get some great photos including that portrait session.  Good Time was in post production … again.  We were also spoilt by Posh with UHQs of new photos of Robert from Red Nose Day in 2015.  A24 was announced as distributor for Good Time and the Zellner Bros officially announced Damsel.  October was good to us and then November … bam.  Sylvester Stallone announced to replace Robert DeNiro in Idol’s Eye – it was definitely back on track. Josh Safdie clued us in on Good Time.  Robert attended the Go Gala Charity Event and again we were spoilt with HQs thanks to Posh. We had some updates about financing for High Life from AFM and IMDbPro updated Robert’s IMDbPro page with The Trap, Idol’s Eye and High Life in “pre-production” with the latter to shoot in the spring.  November also gave us a new still from Ring of the Nibelungs and some new photos from a 2009 Japanese photoshoot.  And a few more surprises – Robert attended a special event hosted by Brad Grey from Paramount and The Drum Thing book launch with Death Grips drummer Zach Hill.  November ended with news that the US had a new distributor for Queen of the Desert and would be released in the spring of 2017 and the possibility of Robert working with Houda Benyamina on her new film in the new year *fingers crossed*.  Robert continued surprising us in December with attendances at the GQ+Dior Men of the Year Dinner at Chateau Marmont, Private Event for Hidden Figures and the LA Dance Project Annual Gala with FKATwigs.  Oh and we finally had a cast photo from Damsel. Loving that hairstyle. Can’t wait for these films.  As we headed towards the end of the year we finally had Robert’s NYFF Portrait in HQ, some great photos from Austin Hargrave from his Hollywood Reporter photoshoot, our first official stills for The Lost City of Z featuring Henry Costin and what looks to be a brand new photoshoot from Norman Jean Roy – wowza.  I think I’ve covered most things.  If I’ve missed anything you can obtain a full comprehensive review of the past year (and previous years) by heading over to our RPAU Week in Review masterpost where I’ve nattered on every week trying to cover news about Robert’s appearances and films.  As I said at the beginning, so looking forward to 2017 – 3 films on the big screen, High Life filming (possibly The Trap and Idol’s Eye – although I’ll believe it when they actually say “film wrapped”, and who knows what else Robert has up his sleeve for us.  Can’t wait to spend the next 12 months being entertained by this man and sharing it with all of you. Happy New Year.
