Robert Pattinson finally recognised and included as a new BAFTA member

From Variety:

Robert Pattinson, Alicia Vikander, Sam Rockwell, Melissa McCarthy, Joanne Froggatt, Himesh Patel and Nicholas Hoult are among the record-setting 559 new members joining BAFTA in 2019, Variety can reveal.

…

The new members are drawn from a mix of individuals applying directly and those who were invited. In both cases they have to pass strict vetting and fulfill eligibility criteria.

…

Applications for membership are received first before BAFTA adds people to be invited. That allows the organization to try to ensure a wide spread of people inducted into the British Academy.

Robert Pattinson photographed with the owner of Les Gourmets Des Ternes, Paris

Love it when old photos are unearthed. Somehow we all missed this photo shared last year when Rob was at JeanFrancois’s Parisian restaurant on 22 June 2018. Better late than never I always say.

Robert Pattinson should be the next James Bond according to Danny Boyle

The Guardian recently spoke to Danny Boyle about his fun new film “Yesterday”. Somehow in the mix he spoke about walking away from directing the next James Bond film and added his 2 cents about who he thinks should be the next Bond. Unsurprisingly (to us at least) he thinks it should be Rob. Here is what he had to say:

He insists he has put Bond behind him and no doubt that is true. But every now and then he is reminded of the bruising. Last month he went to see Claire Denis’s High Life and was especially taken by Robert Pattinson’s performance. “And it was so bizarre, because I was sitting there thinking: ‘Oh my God, they should get him to be the next Bond.’” Isn’t Pattinson a bit too young for the role? “No, no,” he scoffs. “He must be in his 30s. How old was Connery? He’s ready now.”

This may never happen, of course, but I like the thought of Rob taking over the movie world one iconic role at a time.

Updated: Danny Boyle also made the following comments to The Independent:

Danny Boyle has revealed who he would have picked to overtake Daniel Craig as James Bond.

The Mancunian director, who was set to direct Bond 25, said that Robert Pattinson would be his personal choice.

In an interview with The Independent that will be published on Monday 24 June, the director discussed how he was removed from his position helming Bond 25 amid reports of a disagreement with producers. 

However, he was happy to speak about his thoughts on the franchise to date and who he thinks could take on the coveted role as the iconic spy

”I watched High Life, the Claire Denis film, a couple of weeks ago and thought ‘f***ing hell, Robert Pattinson would make a great Bond,’” he said.

“He really would, He’s matured. He’s such a man now. Then when I came out of the cinema, it had literally just been announced that he was the new Batman.”

Kim Jones wishes Robert Pattinson a Happy Birthday

I love birthday surprises especially when they involve someone like Kim Jones sharing this fab pic of Rob holding Cookie to wish him a happy birthday. Thank you Mr Jones.

A choice that I never would have thought to try but been hearing some background chatter about Robert Pattinson being looked at, if the talks (source) are true then all of our predictions were wrong 👀😁 This might be your new Bruce #thebatman #batman
