Yesterday news came out via Deadline concerning a new film by Nolan about Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the A-Bomb. It was wishful thinking as you can see below, that I was hoping that Rob may be involved seeing as they said “there will clearly be many big star parts” [My emphasis]
And although at the moment the only person who seems to possibly be attached to the film is Cillian Murphy. Which had me even more excited about Rob hopefully being involved – that is until my excitement went up an even bigger notch when this interesting tidbit that Rob actually gifted Nolan a book about Oppenheimer surfaced thanks to @metaplexmovies:
Clearly Nolan and Rob have spoken about this project …. right? A girl can dream and Nolan does like working with people he loves and he certainly did love Rob.
It’s like Where’s Waldo but once you see him you can’t miss Rob. Rob attended Kate Beckinsale’s birthday celebrations in LA on 26 July 2021. Hmm Rob and Taika Waititi’s paths sure seem to cross often. Wonder if there’s something brewing between them.
Buzz Feed shared a story from Reddit about people’s interactions with celebrities. Here is what princessleighcherry had to say about meeting Rob:
“I smoked a cigarette with Robert Pattinson during the Twilight craze. My uncle was producing a movie he was in, and I went to visit him on set. I was only 18 and would be lying if I said I hadn’t read the books and watched the movies un-ironically. My crush aside, it’s true what they say about movie stars: They are unbelievably attractive in real life. He talked about how he went to an all-boys boarding school and could never get used to all the attention. I like to think I played it cool. I didn’t mention I was a fan and didn’t ask for a picture.”
“The success of the shop can be attributed to a few different major factors. First, we are basically the last indie movie rental serving LA,” Mathews tells Dread Central. “Next, we have been around for so long that we have a lot of name recognition, especially within the film industry. We have a lot of directors, producers, actors, writers and agencies that make us their go-to. Before working with Claire Denis, Robert Pattinson came to the shop and rented her entire catalog! Finally, we try and keep things simple…We have the movies, we have the employees that know all things film, and we make sure great customer service is our top priority!”
Rob doing his research – that’s why they have such a great rapport. Makes me wish I owned a video store in LA as good as CineFile Video.
If anyone subscribes to Le Monde and would like to share with us what this article “The 400 hits of French Cinema in the United States” mentions about Rob, it would be much appreciated. In the meantime, this is what was said on their Instagram acccount
“Jacques Audiard, Mia Hansen-Løve, Leos Carax, Céline Sciamma, Claire Denis … French auteur cinema may represent barely more than 1% of market share in the United States, it makes the eyes of moviegoers shine. Americans among critics and campus alike. Well represented at festivals, films also arouse the admiration of actors and filmmakers across the Atlantic, inspired by the New Wave and its heirs. Some are even ready to divide their salary by four to work with the French: Kristen Stewart with Olivier Assayas, Robert Pattinson with Claire Denis, Joaquin Phoenix with Jacques Audiard… Timothée Chalamet, he recently made it known that he would like to tour with François Ozon.”
Rob has been included in the 395 artists and executives invited to become a member of the Academy. It was the smallest invite list in years (considering 819 were invited in 2020) since the #OscarsSoWhite uproar. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
“The 2021 class is 46 percent women, 39 percent underrepresented ethnic/racial communities, and 53 percent international from 49 countries outside of the United States.”
If Rob accepts (which I’d be surprised if he didn’t) it means that he will be one of the people voting for the Oscars. Perhaps now they will consider his future roles for nominations. I do love that they refer to Tenet and The Lighthouse – probably too embarrassed to shine a spotlight on Good Time. According to Deadline:
