Robert Pattinson no longer involved with Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir Part 2

According to IndieWire

Robert Pattinson will no longer be able to co-star in Joanna Hogg’s “The Souvenir” sequel due to scheduling conflicts, IndieWire has learned. The British actor was first rumored as part of the cast for Hogg’s 2019 Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning feature back in 2017, though he ultimately did not appear in the first film, instead opting for a part in the filmmaker’s planned sequel.

“Despite Rob’s strong desire to do the film, scheduling proved impossible but he very much looks forward to working with Joanna on something down the line,” a representative for the actor told IndieWire. Distributor A24 declined to comment.

Well I guess that’s that. I saw The Souvenir Part 1 last week as part of the Sydney Film Festival and although it wasn’t my favourite film of the ones I saw, there’s no denying that the film is good (I loved Tom Burke’s performance) and Joanna Hogg’s style is interesting (no script and actors ad lib dialogue) so I am looking forward to seeing Rob collaborate with Joanna somewhere down the line.

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.

Matt Reeves tweets about Robert Pattinson as The Batman

We already knew Robert Pattinson was named as the new “Batman”, Matt Reeves tweet this morning just seals the deal further. Am wondering though if the 3 bats are confirmation that Rob has signed on for 3 films. If you recall Deadline did mention that the deal will “clearly include options on at least two more films, but this is considered a formality in a drawn out process.” Hmmm.

We’ve also created The Batman film page which we will keep updating. You can access via the image on the sidebar or through our film page tab. Alternatively you can bookmark it from HERE.

For those on instagram, there is also now an official Batman IG. Make sure you are following it.

Rob sure is making sure he’s keeping us busy – the next few years are going to be phenomenal.

Robert Pattinson in final talks for Matt Reeves DC Comics Batman

I picked a bad day to be involved in all day meetings. Whilst I was away from the internet it seemed to explode with the news that Rob was:

• Matt Reeves new Batman;
• In final discussions to be Matt Reeves new Batman
• the worst choice for Batman according to the many who are apparently already signing petitions (we’ve been down this road before and thankfully the 75,000 who signed the petition to rid Twilight of Rob failed).

Variety started this rumour with the catchy byline of “Robert Pattinson to Play Batman for Matt Reeves (Exclusive”). However, when clicking on the article you find out that it’s not so exclusive and that:

Sources tell Variety that Robert Pattinson is in negotiations to play “The Batman” in Matt Reeves’ forthcoming superhero film, which hits theaters June 25, 2021.

While sources say it’s not yet a done deal, Pattinson is the top choice and it’s expected to close shortly. Warner Bros. had no comment.

Not yet a done deal, but that didn’t stop other media outlets from turning on the Bat signal.
