IndieWire is reporting the following concerning Rob presenting Brady with his NYFCC Award:
Pattinson, who presented the New York Film Critics Circle’s Best Feature award to Corbet for “The Brutalist,” applauded the director for his indie, saying the film is a “true work of art” and an “astounding technical feat.” Pattinson previously had a small but important role in Corbet’s 2015 directorial debut “The Childhood of a Leader,” which debuted at the Venice Film Festival and won awards for Best Debut Feature and Best Director. Corbet co-wrote the screenplay with his partner Mona Fastvold; the duo also co-wrote “The Brutalist” together.
“Ten years ago, I was lucky enough to work with Brady on his first full-length feature, ‘The Childhood of a Leader.’ And I’m honored to be with you tonight to present the New York Film Critics Circle Best Film Award to Brady and his team for this latest film, ‘The Brutalist,’” Pattinson said during the 2025 NYFCC ceremony.
Pattinson continued, “The film is a true achievement. Everyone’s performance is spectacular, including Adrien [Brody]. The partnership between him and the incredible Guy Pearce, the tumultuous relationship as the film unfolds, playing with the audience’s emotions, creates a true work of art.”
Pattinson further applauded Corbet’s small budget on the indie period piece.
“Shooting in this division in just over 33 days and for under $10 million, Brady and his team created an astounding technical feat,” Pattinson said. “Everything about this film is an event, it’s meant to be seen with an audience, and I encourage everyone to go and see it on the big screen. […] I’m in awe of you and of all your producers and collaborators, thank you for creating this monumental work of art.”
Here’s Brady accepting the award and we see a glimpse of Rob:
Devin Powell shared this photo with Rob on his IG account and gave a little more information on his training of Rob in response to this question “Rob was training for The Drama, right?”
“@erikoliveira.eo411 well he was filming the Drama with Zendaya but he was trying to make sure he kept in shape and training martial arts to stay prepared for Batman.”
He has also mentioned that he will be sharing more photos with Rob eventually – like the ones you can see being taken in the video below. As soon as he does this post will be updated.

Devin Powell shared this great little video of himself with Rob – so goofy. As can be seen from his comment, he trained Rob for The Drama. Clint Lightfoot commented on the post that Rob “seemed “he strikes me as a humble dude.” and Devin’s response was “very much so. Very hard worker and a good dude.”
As we’ve known over the years and witnessed ourselves, Rob really is loved by all who work with him.
Once again thanks to Suze for putting together our free calendar for you to download if you so wish. We have so much to look forward to in 2025 – Mickey17 (with multiple Robs – how can we not be happy about that), Die My Love with JLaw, The Drama with Zendaya, The Odyssey with Christopher Nolan – I love how Rob’s directors always want to recollaborate with him – speaks volumes. The Batman II should hopefully be filming at some stage for release in 2027 and any other projects Rob has up his sleeve.
Thankyou for supporting us for the past 15 years. Wishing everyone a fabulous 2025 – here’s to health, happiness and prosperity and another great year reporting on and supporting Rob’s career.
You can access the calendar to download from this post or from the sidebar (which I am in the process of updating).
The Independent UK has ranked the 60 Best Actors of the 21st Century and Rob comes in on their list as no. 35
“Admittedly, it’s trite to begin a tribute to Robert Pattinson with Twilight, but it feels important to remember that early role when regarding a film like The Lighthouse. In the latter, an arthouse flick of the most artsy kind, Pattinson holds his own against heavyweight weirdo Willem Dafoe – showing off just how far he’s come since making tween girls swoon as a 104-year-old vampire. Sexy, this lighthouse keeper is definitely not. In fact, Pattinson appears to be constantly fleeing the mainstream comforts his conventional good looks might offer, running instead into the arms of directors like Claire Denis, Christopher Nolan, David Cronenberg, and the Safdie brothers, with the same intensity he instils in all his characters. More than anything, Pattinson takes risks – take his deliciously camp French accent in The King, his emo-boy take on The Batman, or Christopher Hitchens-inspired sidekick in Tenet.:
30 December 2022 – Variety 500
Rob makes the Variety500 for the first time in its 6 year history. It’s an index put together by Variety’s editorial board of the “500 most influential business leaders shaping the global media industry”. How do Variety’s editorial board choose who makes the list each year? The principles involved are:
“to honor excellence among executives and creatives across the world who have distinguished themselves most. Defining “excellence” and “distinguished” isn’t always an easy matter, but here at Variety, we’ve got it down as close to a science as you can get.
But Variety500 is not a science. Judgments are rendered according to subjective assessments that balance what someone has accomplished over the past 12 months with the achievements made prior to that period. Because Variety500 is an annual list, recent career performance is more heavily weighted than previous work.”

Varietyshared this clip of Matt Reeves talking with Zoe Kravitz about writing his process of writing the script for The Batman and visualising Rob in the role. If you want to read the full by clicking the Variety hyperlink
Kravitz: How do you feel about casting? Especially when you’re doing a superhero film where there’s been so many other versions.
Reeves: I had to find a personal way into Batman and then think about how somebody could bring something personal to me. You’re always looking for an internal life that’s going to take what this story is and make us feel like you’re getting a glimpse into what this person’s struggle is. It’s weird: To be totally honest, when I was writing, I was thinking of Rob.
Kravitz: It just popped into your head?
Reeves: Well, I just started thinking about the children of Princess Diana, and the idea of being this orphaned prince. For some reason, I don’t know why, that made a connection to Kurt Cobain for me. And then somewhere in there, someone told me to watch [the 2017 Robert Pattinson movie] “Good Time.” And I was like, “That’s the only person I could imagine as this Batman. I don’t think that I know what it is if it’s not him.” It was weirdly fated, because it turned out that he was obsessed with Batman.
