Still Anticipating Robert Pattinson's Movies & Let's Get Ready To Rumble!
I wonder what it is that I love about all these anticipated movie lists that have been coming out lately?
Could it have anything to do with all the Robert Pattinson films that have been featured on them?
Yeap it sure is! And this latest one
The Film Stage's list of
80 Most Anticipated Films of 2014 features not one, not two but THREE of Rob's movies!
The Rover comes in at #14
After debuting the family crime drama Animal Kingdom back in 2010, it’s been a longer-than-expected wait for David Michôd‘s follow-up, but 2014 will finally bring it with The Rover. A likely bet for Cannes following its summer release, the existential western teams Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy
and more, following a loner who tracks down the men responsible for
stealing his car. If Michôd continues to display his knack for unbridled
tension, this could prove to be one of Pattinson’s best performances.
Queen of the Desert makes it in at #7:
Following
years of irritating stop-start development, Werner Herzog is finally
shooting his first feature since 2009’s Bad Lieutenant and My Son, My
Son. Shifts on the casting front are only natural with such long
progressions acting as a factor, and now the central spot of legendary
cartographer Gertrude Bell has been filled by Nicole Kidman – she buoyed
by the likes of Robert Pattinson, James Franco, and Damian Lewis — and
the subject’s staggering impact on history gives the sort of thread this
writer-director has proven himself deeply invested in for decades.
(Fitzcarraldo being but one obvious reference point.) It might prove a
perfect fit, and we can’t wait to see how Queen shapes up to his true
classics
AND
Maps To The Stars leads the way at #4:
David
Cronenberg is working in a different register these days — more removed
(quite literally, in terms of something as essential as camera
distance), more clinical, more alien — so those hoping for Scanners and
not Cosmopolis might need to rearrange most expectations. The wicked
sense of humor, however, is as cutting as ever, and in coming off a
perfectly tuned, pitch-black social satire, his take on the corrosive
nature of Hollywood — which required his first shooting endeavor in the
United States — should be a sight; consider the lineup — Julianne Moore,
John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska, Olivia Williams, as well as a returning
Robert Pattinson & Sarah Gadon — and it’s hard to imagine many films
will incite more of a visceral thrill this year.

Ropes of Silicone's 40 Most Anticipated Movies of 2014 hitting their list at #17
Written
by noted Los Angeles author Bruce Wagner ("Wild Palms"), David
Cronenberg's latest apparently sets out to take a stab the
celebrity-obsessed society of Los Angeles.
My interest here should be obvious, it's a Cronenberg film, need I say more?
I know you all remember 2012 when
Cosmopolis took home the
MTV Movie Brawl Award and you all know how much Rob loves prizes, right?
Well it's time to do this again! A24 know that Rob fans have this in hand.......
But we're a greedy bunch here and there's no such thing as too much Rob so we want
The Rover AND
Maps to The Stars in this so go vote for both.
