Robert Pattinson #Damsel will be part of European Film Market During Berlinale International Film Festival

You may have noticed that I tweeted an article from Deadline in relation to Great Point Media launching a US distributor arm that had a Damsel mention.  The interesting part of that article was:

The company’s international sales arm has the Zellner Bros-directed Robert Pattinson-starrer Damsel and several others prepped for the upcoming Berlin market.

…

“We’re very excited to launch this division and to deliver compelling stories from great filmmakers with casts audiences know and love,” co-founder Jim Reeve added.

According to Variety:

Great Point Media’s international sales arm at the Berlin film Festival next month will represent the Zellner Bros’ Sundance title “Damsel,” starring Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska; Frank Coraci’s Steve Coogan vehicle “Hot Air; and Bill Oliver’s “Jonathan,” starring Ansel Elgort and Suki Waterhouse.

 Robert Pattinson’s gold toothed smile does the rounds

Seriously, as little as this is, I’ll take it when it comes to Damsel.  Amy L Forsythe who was head makeup artist on Damsel shared this little gem on her instagram today.  Yeah I’d be taking a turn at Rob’s gold toothed smile as well.

Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska on Set of Damsel

 

Not too long to go now – I keep saying it but surely we should get a teaser or a trailer soon.

Thanks Flavia.

Robert Pattinson Films Making “Most Ancitipated” Lists of 2018

Following the stellar year Rob has had with Good Time and The Lost City of Z, it appears we’re not the only ones anticipating Damsel and High Life.  Here’s the first batch of “Most Anticipated” lists (which I will keep updating):

CINEVUE Our 20 Most Anticipated Films of 2018

High Life (dir. Claire Denis)
Claire Denis’ Let the Sunshine In hasn’t reached UK cinemas and yet we’re already due her follow-film High Life, featuring Denis regular Juliette Binoche alongside Robert Pattinson and Mia Goth. In the film, a group of skilled criminals, in a bid to escape their long sentences or capital punishment, accept a likely-fatal government space mission to find alternative energy sources. Denis does high concept sci-fi? Count us in.

THE PLAYLIST The 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2018

6. “High Life”
Director: Claire Denis (“Let The Sun Shine In”)
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Mia Goth, Andre Benjamin, Agata Buzek
Synopsis: A group of convicts are used as reproductive experiments against their will by scientists.
What You Need To Know: The great French helmer Claire Denis’s first foray into sci-fi territory (with a script by the great novelist Zadie Smith and her poet husband Nick Laird) first made our list two years ago when it seemed on the verge of shooting, but it didn’t happen for one reason or another, and when she shifted to this year’s Juliette Binoche-starrer “Let The Sun Shine In,” we worried that “High Life” was dead. Fortunately, filming finally got underway last year, with the long-attached Robert Pattinson (in a role envisioned first for Vincent Gallo, then Phillip Seymour Hoffman) joined by Binoche, Andre 3000 and Polish actress Agata Buzek, among others. We’ve had a plethora of space movies of late, but expect this to be utterly distinct from any of them.
Release Date: Shooting wrapped in October, so a Venice bow seems more likely than Cannes.

60. “Damsel”
Director: The Zellner Brothers (“Kumiko The Treasure Hunter”)
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, David Zellner, Nathan Zellner
Synopsis: A businessman goes West to join his fiancée in the mountains.
What You Need To Know: If there were any doubters still left that his talents were legit, one-time “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson firmly dispelled them in 2017, first with a wonderfully characterful supporting turn in “The Lost City Of Z,” then with a barnstormer of a lead performance in “Good Time,” genuinely one of the year’s best. For his next trick, the artist formerly known as R-Patz is teaming up with some more acclaimed indie filmmakers, the sibling duo behind the excellent “Kumiko The Treasure Hunter” for this semi-Western, described by the star himself intriguingly as a “slapstick comedy,” also starring the ever-reliable Mia Wasikowska.
Release Date: Sundance

A new poster for Robert Pattinson’s upcoming film “Damsel” has been added to IMDB. It looks as though it may be for sales purposes for the Sundance Film Festival and not an official poster.
