The King, which stars Timothee Chalamet, Joel Edgerton and Robert Pattinson, will debut on Netflix on November 1 but eager beavers will get to catch it in select cinemas from October 11.
Chalamet will also be on hand to launch the film at a red carpet premiere at the Randwick Ritz in Sydney on October 10.
Following the premiere, The King will have a short run in independent cinemas. It will screen in Victoria at the Classic, Lido and Cameo cinemas, in Sydney at Randwick Ritz, Dendy Newtown and Dendy Opera Quays, in Brisbane at Dendy Portside and Dendy Coorparoo, in Canberra at Dendy Canberra and in Perth at The Backlot. [My emphasis]
David and Joel will also be at the premiere on 10 October.
Here’s a new still of Rob as The Dauphin. There’s also been a screening of The King in Venice and it looks like Rob’s cameo is stealing the show. Here’s a few tweets.
Robert Pattinson’s appearance in #TheKing drew delighted laughter from the audience this morning. Most of us weren’t expecting to see him and his deliciously wicked French accent and spoilt royal brat performance was an added bonus. He looked as if he was enjoying the role too. pic.twitter.com/mtIvmPSN7E
Robert Pattinson has his most fun yet in screen-stealing turn as dandy Dauphin. #TheKing “It was very, very important to me that when he did appear it was with razzle dazzle.” -Dir. David Michôd pic.twitter.com/a6gd00jWH5
Robert Pattinson films premiering at Venice Film Festival 2019
Johnny Depp and Timothée Chalamet are confirmed to attend the premieres of their films Waiting for the Barbarians and The King, but according to the Festival Director, Alberto Barbera – Rob is doubtful given his filming commitments.
Waiting for the Barbarians will have two screenings on Friday 6 September 2019 – the red carpet premiere at 7.30pm and another screening at 8.30pm.
The King will premiere at 10.00pm on Monday 2 September 2019 and will screen again at 5.45pm on Tuesday 3 September 2019.
Robert Pattinson has two films at this year’s Venice Film Festival
Venice Film Festival announced its lineup last night and Rob has two films premiering at the festival. The King will have its world premiere, but is out of competition, but Waiting for the Barbarians will be in competition for its world premiere. Here’s hoping Rob’s filming schedule allows him to attend and that the film may take home the Golden Lion.
That’s 3 films at 2 film festivals in September if we include The Lighthouse at TIFF.
David Michôd chats with RPAU about Robert Pattinson & #TheKing
I had an amazing day today. Saw an excellent Australian film by David’s partner, Mirrah Foulkes, called Judy & Punch that stars Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman. Go see it – it’s amazing. Spoke to Mia Wasikowska and told her I also loved her in Damsel. Oh and caught up with David Michôd and had a great chat where we briefly spoke about The King.
David still has a few months of post production. I asked if we would be seeing it in 2019 and David said yes, definitely will be released in 2019 (RPAU: as soon as a date is confirmed, we will let you know.)
David also told me Rob’s performance is excellent. I asked how so. David said Rob’s so crazy and such a psychopath. I said I didn’t realise that was his character. When I asked David how he wanted me to describe Rob’s performance he said “it’s wild and colourful”. We’re going to love it.
For the Chalamet fans – David said as soon as he saw his performance in Call Me By Your Name he knew that was his Hal.
