Robert Pattinson's upcoming project 'The Rover'



Robert Pattinson is set to shoot The Rover with co-star Guy Pearce and director David Michôd in Australia next year.

The actor talked about his mysterious upcoming project while doing press for Cosmopolis, describing The Rover as “kind of a western.”

“It’s very existential. It’s really interesting. I couldn’t really explain to you what it’s about but it’s sort of about how much pain can the world take and how much disgust and cruelty before love dies,” Pattinson told Indiewire. “I think that’s kind of what it’s about.”

Pattinson then joked that Michôd would read his interpretation of the movie and scoff, “What the f**k are you talking about? It’s a crime movie.”

Not much is known about the plot, although it is reportedly set in the near future Australian wilderness, where a man (played by Pearce) tries to track down his stolen car after it’s taken by a gang.

i’m so excited for him to start filming this. i love guy pearce, i loved ‘animal kingdom’ and someone who’s read the script for this said it’s really amazing.
tammyinlalaland 19th-Aug-2012 12:28 am (UTC)
Have you seen Cosmoplis? I think that I'm seeing it tomorrow
scientist 19th-Aug-2012 12:35 am (UTC)
nope, not yet. there’s still no release date for it in my country ;____;
libertine_skins 19th-Aug-2012 02:37 am (UTC)
it was frakking spectacular.
but id never suggest anyone see it. its one of those films that you kinda have to love that style to like.
britneyrocks26 19th-Aug-2012 05:21 pm (UTC)
It is amazing. It's very wordy, but if you've read the book then it won't be as bad.

You'll know when what scene/dialogue is coming if you have read the book.

It's going to be a little bit confusing for some people though.

Where do find scripts like this? I love reading them, but I have the hardest time attaining them. I'd especially like to check this one out, Michod is a genius to me.

LOL i saw that too and was like... i see, i see.
sowhat_whocares 19th-Aug-2012 02:22 am (UTC)
I noticed that too lol. I think he caught himself projecting though, hence his second statement about it really just being a crime movie lulz.

and a geelong supporter!!
crup 19th-Aug-2012 12:01 am (UTC)
i'm glad his career is doing well. being happy and successful is the best kind of revenge because the person in the wrong feels all bitter while you end up not giving a fuck.
e133 19th-Aug-2012 12:23 am (UTC)
this. so, so true.
lalameanslove 19th-Aug-2012 12:48 am (UTC)

elaraesque 19th-Aug-2012 12:03 am (UTC)
tabrett bethell should be cast as the female lead because she is flawless in every way and i have a massive girl crush on her.
libertine_skins 19th-Aug-2012 02:39 am (UTC)

I feel bad for the guy, but lets not overdo it.

I was a fan of him before all of this so i'm not just saying that out of pity.
sowhat_whocares 19th-Aug-2012 02:23 am (UTC)
thats not overdoing it.
kalie_m 19th-Aug-2012 02:26 am (UTC)
Any complement on his face is overdoing it.

"I couldn’t really explain to you what it’s about but it’s sort of about how much pain can the world take and how much disgust and cruelty before love dies."

Oooh, irony!
one_hoopy_frood 19th-Aug-2012 12:11 am (UTC)
We rly don't need this many movies with him in them tho.
ion_square 19th-Aug-2012 12:16 am (UTC)
lol ikr. he's just not that good. he should have a modeling career.
one_hoopy_frood 19th-Aug-2012 12:20 am (UTC)
As long as it doesn't end up like this:

Logged into ONTD and this post was at the top. Rolled my eyes and went to facebook instead, only to find this image at the top of my wall:

twilight

Felt like complaining.
zxora 19th-Aug-2012 12:19 am (UTC)
Even though I didn't like Up much (oop at me), I'd certainly agree with this.
sowhat_whocares 19th-Aug-2012 02:26 am (UTC)
but UP sucked balls so thats not a good comparison.
nowheregirlnd 19th-Aug-2012 06:59 pm (UTC)
trufax.
ion_square 19th-Aug-2012 12:16 am (UTC)
when is he filming this? i'm interested to know how his australian accent will turn out.
scientist 19th-Aug-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
there was a post a while back on rob’s imdb where someone who works as an extra in various australian films said that they’re asking for extras with an american accent for this one. idk how accurate this info is obviously but there’s a possibility he won’t need to do an australian accent.
ion_square 19th-Aug-2012 12:25 am (UTC)
Oh bummer. I don't think he's that great at American, personally. So I was excited for something else.
tammyinlalaland 19th-Aug-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
It cannot be as bad as his Spanish accent
violue 19th-Aug-2012 12:16 am (UTC)
had a dream a bit ago that there was some poll on here for something, and it was mostly between me and him, but he won :(
violue 19th-Aug-2012 12:17 am (UTC)
and by a bit ago, i mean I just woke up 3 minutes ago
