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.”
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.
Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter gives us an inside look at the process that culminated in Warner Brother’s and Matt Reeves’ casting of Rob as the new ‘Batman’. We’ve shared an excerpt below. You can read the full article HERE.
“Quick” Debates and Secret Screen Tests: How Robert Pattinson Became Batman
Two weeks ago, a black jacket-clad Robert Pattinson faced flashbulbs and reporters at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his period drama, The Lighthouse. When one guest approached him at the reception and said, “I heard you were the new Batman,” he offered only a sly smile and stayed mum.
In reality, Pattinson was not the Caped Crusader…just yet. Hours after his Cannes duties in designer duds, he would be on a plane to Los Angeles to face perhaps the biggest test of his acting career: putting on a Batsuit for director Matt Reeves, who is casting The Batman.
That test was officially passed Friday, when Warner Bros. announced that Pattinson had won the role. The decision was the culmination of an intense process that insiders describe as surprisingly quick. As opposed to most superhero casting efforts, which often include far-and-wide searches and dozens of screen tests for the likes of Superman or more recently, Spider-Man, the Batman process was notably smooth. “It was quick,” says one Warners insider. “Quicker than normal.”
Robert Pattinson talks The Lighthouse and Career with Ruben V Nepales
Rob sat down with Ruben V Nepales whilst he was promoting The Lighthouse in Cannes. Below is an extract of Rob talking about the film and career choices:
How much did you enjoy the physicality of the role?
It was ridiculous. On the first day, I was digging a grave. It was so cold I couldn’t even get the shovel in (laughs). Robert Eggers loves to make things as difficult and real as possible.
And lifting the oil drum up the staircase, we were literally lifting that sh*t up. I’ve never been more fit in my life. You don’t have to act—the elements are forcing you to be reactive.
After much speculation about “Who will be the new caped crusader?”, Warner Brothers has finally confirmed that Rob will take over the reins as the new ‘Batman’.
Warner Bros. has closed a deal for the actor to play the Caped Crusader in “The Batman.”
Matt Reeves’ superhero tentpole hits theaters on June 25, 2021. Variety first reported on May 16 that Pattinson was in negotiations for the part. The studio confirmed on Friday that he had signed a deal.
Pre-production on the Warner Bros.-DC Comics pic is expected to start this summer. No official start date has been set for filming “The Batman.”
Reeves, the filmmaker behind the last two “Planet of the Apes” sequels, assumed “Batman” directing duties from Ben Affleck in January 2017. Reeves will produce “The Batman” with his “Planet of the Apes” collaborator Dylan Clark.
Affleck starred as Batman in two titles directed by Zack Snyder: 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and 2017’s “Justice League.” Both films received mixed reviews and were a disappointment for Warner Bros. in its efforts to compete with Marvel Studios in the superhero realm.
Pattinson became a star following the breakout success of the five-film “Twilight” franchise, in which he portrayed the vampire Edward Cullen opposite Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan.
Pattinson is starring with John David Washington in Christopher Nolan’s latest film, “Tenet,” set to open July 17, 2020. He toplines “The Lighthouse,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and appeared in Claire Denis’ “High Life,” “The King” for Netflix and “Waiting for the Barbarians.”
He is repped by WME, the Curtis Brown Group and 3 Arts Entertainment.
