Hey Robert Pattinson fans, are you ready for a chat with your favorite actor? MTV News has got you covered with “MTV First: Robert Pattinson.”

Mark your calendars for Thursday, August 16, when Pattinson will premiere a new clip from his upcoming and buzzworthy film “Cosmopolis” on MTV at 7: 49 p.m. ET. Immediately following the on-air premiere, Pattinson will sit down with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz for a 30-minute interview on MTV.com. Fans can join in on the fun by submitting questions beginning today through MTV.com or via Twitter using @MTVNews and the hash-tag #AskRob.

Those who’ve been following the news surrounding “Cosmopolis” know that the David Cronenberg-directed thriller is already a favorite, as it was voted the #1 most anticipated movie in our MTV Movie Brawl. The story, which is based on Don DeLillo’s novel of the same name, follows young billionaire financier Eric Packer (Pattinson) in the not-too-distant future as he’s chauffeured through Manhattan on his way to get a haircut. His entire world falls apart as his marriage is failing, his financial status is slipping and even his very life is being threatened.

The film also stars Juliette Binoche, Sarah Gadon, Mathieu Amalric, Jay Baruchel, Kevin Durand, K’Naan, Emily Hampshire with Samantha Morton and Paul Giamatti and opens everywhere Friday.

Don’t forget to tune in to MTV and MTV.com on Thursday to hear everything Pattinson has to say about making the film.

Thanks to Cindy for the tip!

Holy F*&%$

 

Première Magazine’s Editor-in-chief, Mathieu Carratier tweeted this morning about Rob.  Given that he is the Editor-in-Chief of a respectable magazine, I doubt it’s just Mathieu trying to garner attention for himself or the magazine, but I guess time will tell.

Ok, real info then: Robert Pattinson is preparing a movie with Werner Herzog.

Since it seems to interest you, I can also tell you that Robert Pattinson has been spending time with Harmony Korine lately.

Although we don’t have any more information, I can say that there is a Project in Development on Werner Herzog’s IMDbPro which is a screenplay written by him and he is also listed as director called The Piano Tuner.  This project has been around since 2008 so you just never know if this is in fact what Rob is talking to them about.  For some reason, I feel like I’ve talked about this before.  [Maria:  Realised I’ve read the book by Daniel Mason back in 2002 – huh how funny is that.  Very interesting novel set in 1885.  No wonder the whole thing seemed familiar]

Of course there’s also Queen of the Desert in pre-production that is a chronicle of Gertrude Bell’s life, a traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer, and political attaché for the British Empire at the dawn of the twentieth century.  Naomi Watts is cast as Gertrude Bell and she is currently the only role listed.

As for Harmony Korine, there is one Project in Development set for 2014 that already has Marlon Wayans attached to it.

The plot thickens …

Some of these we’ve seen in HQ, but it’s Rob …
