Rob may seem quiet to all of us since we have no films coming out this year, but he looks to have been busy working in the background in relation to production. According to Deadline:
Following a competitive auction, Sony Pictures has landed the highly-coveted spec How To Save A Marriage from Ross Evans with Robert Pattinson on board to produce. Evans penned the script and Pattinson’s producing partner Brighton McCloskey via their Icki Eneo Arlo banner will join as producer along with Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg via Entertainment 360.
Plot details are being kept under wraps and studio sources add the project is still early development. Evans will also exec produce. Insiders say the deal was in the seven figure range with several other suitors in the mix.
While his deal is only to produce at this time (though sources close to the studio hope that it can be developed as a potential star vehicle down the road), insiders add what got Sony so interested in the package is how hands on he wanted to be as the project was being developed. Pattinson has already established himself as one of the top leading men with projects like Mickey17 and a Batman sequel coming up and is now looking to help bring along his production company as he broadens his range as a producer and this project looks to be a big priority when it comes to that specific area.
