Fiona’s credits include Yorgos Lanthimos’ period dark comedy The Favourite, the Disney hit Cruella, and most recently worked with director Ari Aster on his upcoming A24 pic which stars Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix.

Technically this isn’t box office, but it’s news worth repeating

Jack Bridgland recently gave a talk about his career and spoke about photographing Rob – starts at 9.50 where Jack talks about which of his photoshoots caught Rob’s eye and why Rob reached out and wanted to work with him. Great background on how this shoot came about as Jack talks us through it.

Thanks @Lahdi for the heads up

As if none of us would take Rob as their plus-one given the chance.

MGK also described the time Davidson showed up one Easter with two 40 oz. beers ready to party, only to end up at Kelly pal Sandra Bullock’s house, where they ran into Jennifer Aniston and other major stars. “Pete was like, ‘why would you do this to me? We look so stupid!… Why didn’t you tell me this is where we were going?’” So, to get him back, last month for MGK’s birthday party, Davidson asked if he could bring a +1 to the house and he showed up with The Batman himself: Robert Pattinson.

And I was like, “‘You brought Batman?’” he laughed. “Everyone kept coming up and was like, ‘Dude, is Batman at your birthday party?’

Claire Denis’ The Stars at Noon debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews. She told Reuters the reason why Rob had to drop out of starring in the film:

“The pandemic came and ‘The Batman’ shooting took him almost two years and Robert was very tired. He said ‘I can’t’. And then I was lucky, so lucky, that Joe was interested,” said Denis.

Thanks @Monsieur_HJ for heads up.

I mean – who wouldn’t
