SYDNEY -- On the day everyone learned that his girlfriend Kristen Stewart had strayed, Robert Pattinson's new starring role was given the greenlight.
Screen Australia said it will provide production financing for a previously announced Australian feature film project, The Rover, from Animal Kingdom writer-director David Michod. The Twilight star and Guy Pearce are both attached.
Set in the Australian desert, the futuristic western tells the story of Eric, who has left everything, everyone and every semblance of human kindness behind him, as he’s forced to join an injured gang member, Rey, to hunt down Rey’s gang after they steal the last of Eric’s possessions.
The Rover is produced by Porchlight Films in association with Los Angeles-based Lava Bear Films, with Liz Watts, David Linde and Michod producing. Film Nation will handle international sales, and Roadshow Films will be the Australian distributor.
The Rover is one of four features, four adult TV dramas and four kids TV series to receive $20 million of production funding from agency Screen Australia, triggering more than $100 million worth of production here.
Screen Australia’s CEO Ruth Harley said: “These four highly engaging and diverse Australian stories have huge potential. The Rover is a powerful well-crafted script from a talented team with an impressive cast. Anna Broinowski’s Aim High in Creation is a distinctive, ambitious film with a humorous and entertaining story. Felony has international breakout potential, and Healing promises to be a highly emotional and moving story on screen.”
Meanwhile, in KStew land....

I can't really see her using it as an attempt to keep rob around.

Also, double-tabbing like a boss.
And, how awkward as fuck the red carpet for BD part 2 will be
IDK. I could see it going either way. This could destroy her career and she'll fade away after Breaking Dawn. Or, her PR team could use this to increase her recognition, and if she could land a good role soon or after Twilight she maybe could recover.
As for the red carpet, I can't wait. Even if they patch things up/he takes her back, all the reporters will be asking about this.
Tortured artists get forgiven. She'll probs make even more bank. Life makes no sense.
