We might not see Robert Downey Jr with Rob in “Average Height, Average Build” now that it’s no loner going forward, but Rob does like talking Rob:
Robert Downey Jr. traces #Oppenheimer's success back to Robert Pattinson's gift to Chris Nolan: "This incredible departure from one of our younger peers turns into him making a personal gift to arguably one of the greatest directors of his generation." https://t.co/hsmY5hzGv8pic.twitter.com/eXVuheqRai
Another project we were all excited about, but looks like we won’t be seeing Rob as a serial killer. According to Deadline, Netflix and Adam McKay are no longer moving forward with “Average Height, Average Build”:
“Adam McKay, who has been outspoken about the threat of global warming, is deciding to make his next directorial project a climate-related one. Insiders add that with that project now getting all of McKay’s attention, he will no longer be directing the Netflix movie Average Height, Average Build, and the film will no longer be moving forward.
McKay had penned Average Height, Average Build and brought the project to Netflix. With him no longer involved, there is no plan to find a replacement and move forward with the film.”
In April, Netflix bought the rights to the film. They were also behind McKay’s highly popular “Don’t Look Up” in 2021. I’m now hearing, via an in-the-know friend, that Netflix has dropped the project and that it is currently seeking a new home.
…
I’m now wondering if this new film of his is not happening, or if an adventurous studio will decide to pick it up. Maybe he should adjust that budget — $150 million is a ridiculous amount of money for a non-IP project.
Holy Moly – this guy just keeps getting better with age. It’s been some time since we had a new Dior photoshoot and now Rob is the star of the new DIor Icons Menswear Line – realistically how could he not be!
Known for his elaborately embellished designs inspired by the Dior haute couture archive, Kim Jones wants men to know he is down with quiet luxury too.
Hot on the heels of his denim capsule collection, the label’s artistic director of menswear is introducing a collection of timeless wardrobe essentials known as Dior Icons. Think tailored coats, cashmere sweaters and minimalist wide-leg pants, mixed with more casual pieces like a leather bomber jacket and jeans.
The line is launching on Dec. 1 in Dior boutiques, in tandem with an advertising campaign starring brand ambassador Robert Pattinson.
“I talked about clothing and fabrication with Robert a lot because he has a huge interest in fashion. I thought it would be perfect for him to wear Dior Icons because we discussed it in the conception of the collection. He is a good friend of mine so it seemed it would be nice for him to model in it,” Jones said in a statement.

Advertising campaign launching 1 December you say – it really is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
Another great shoot by Alisdair McLennan. Remember the one he did for The Lighthouse and Esquire UK
