David Michôd shared more about casting Rob and the role he's playing during the press conference. We're going to have to wait an hour to see our guy but it seems like the wait will worth it.

Excerpt from The Hollywood Reporter, Venice: 'The King' Director Says He Cast Robert Pattinson to Add "Razzle-Dazzle":
Although all actors are in top form, at an early morning press screening in Venice, Pattinson stole the show from the moment he appeared onscreen. With his outlandish garb and foppish accent, Pattinson drew laughter and applause in his role as the Dauphin of France, serving as the perfect foe to Chalamet’s earnest Henry V.

"I just had a feeling he would make it fun," said Michod. "I needed that. He is a supporting character. He doesn’t appear in the movie until an hour in. It was very, very important to me that when he did appear it was with razzle-dazzle."

Michod said that he and Edgerton did an enormous amount of research for the project. "And then we made a whole bunch of stuff up, too,” he said. “The upshot is I sit here now and I kind of honestly can’t remember what’s real, what’s made up and what’s from Shakespeare.”

He continued: "I think he was a bit of a dandy. I think he was quite a bit younger than Rob. Apparently he was hugely fat. Apparently it was historically true that Hal as king offered to fight him one-on-one to settle the score, probably knowing that his offer would be refused."

Michod, who cast Pattinson in his second film The Rover, praised the actor for his career decisions. "I loved working with him. I loved how inventive he was. I loved how hungry he was to make bold choices," said Michod. "I just had this feeling that he would love to sink his teeth into this character because it wasn’t like anything he’d done before."
Excerpt from Vulture, The King Director Cast Robert Pattinson and His Wig for ‘Razzle-Dazzle’:
Writer-director David Michôd delivers entertaining history with The King, his new Netflix movie about Henry V (Timothée Chalamet) and his ascendancy from partying teenager to warrior sovereign. At its Venice Film Festival premiere on Monday, Henry and his sparring partners snared some hearty gasps and laughs — particularly France’s Dauphin, an arrogant and ridiculous prince who provides a steady stream of comedy. A bewigged Robert Pattinson plays the preening, over-dressed Gallic dandy. “I like speaking English,” he sneers in character. “It is a simple, ugly language.” 
“I just had a feeling he [Pattinson] would make it fun,” Michôd told the standing-room only Sala Perla 2 press conference. “I needed that. He is a supporting character. He doesn’t appear in the movie until an hour in. It was very, very important to me that when he did appear it was with razzle-dazzle.”
Here's a part of the press conference on video with David chatting about Rob and contains some of the quotes above.

The folks who saw the film are also singing Rob's praises:




The King will be in US theaters Oct. 11th and on Netflix Nov. 1st.

'The Childhood Of A Leader' With Robert Pattinson Wins Best Debut Film At The Venice Film Festival

'The Childhood Of A Leader' With Robert Pattinson Wins Best Debut Film At The Venice Film Festival

Fantastic news from Venice, The Childhood of A Leader won the "Luigi de Laurentiis" Venice Award for Best Debut Film. Not only that but Brady Corbet also took home the Best Director Horizons award!

From The Hollywood Reporter:
Childhood of a Leader won the "Luigi de Laurentiis" Venice Award for a Debut Film on Saturday. Director Brady Corbet also won the Best Director Horizons award, presented by Jonathan Demme.

"I really love you Jonathan Demme. I always have," he told the Horizons jury president.

Robert Pattinson and Stacy Martin star in the historical drama, which details the childhood of a fascist leader during World War I.

Director-writer Brady Corbet flew in from upstate New York the day before to receive his prize. He was shocked to receive the prize, saying that he remembered questioning his family's future when they were trying to put the film together, wary of whether or not it would turn out.

"My daughter might look at this in 25 years. I just want to say be patient, be radical, be free," said Corbet on accepting the prize.

The film was the only film In Venice shown on 35mm. "Celluloid should be a filmmaker's right, not a privilege," said Corbet upon receiving his second prize of the night.

Roundup of the critics reviews for The Childhood of a Leader with Robert Pattinson

UPDATED With NEW Reviews
Robert Pattinson's latest role to be released 'The Childhood of a Leader' had it's first screening at the Venice Film Festival a few hours ago and the first of the critical reviews are here:

image host

Cine Vue

"The Childhood of a Leader is a dark, enigmatic piece of work that hovers between visionary greatness and petty domestic triviality. Corbet's inaugural stint behind the camera marks a stunning debut and the finest film at Venice thus far."

"a US diplomat assisting the President, is drinking with Charles (Robert Pattinson), a journalist whose wife has recently died"

The Film Stage

"What could very easily be received as an irritating, pretentious feature debut is actually a display of controlled madness full of astute touches, like the use of Robert Pattinson’s persona in the few scenes he’s in. Let’s just hope the devoted fanbase he’s been leading into uncharted territory in the last few years will make it to the end of this one."

Screen Daily

"Corbet’s assured direction of an excellent cast, it makes for an edgy, poetic mix with the dramatic potency of a good nightmare"

"Perhaps Robert Pattinson’s four brief appearances in the film will trick a few teenage girls into buying a ticket; if so, they’d better be prepared for an uncompromisingly grown-up, intelligent, allusive cineaste experience."

Eye for Film

"indeed it may seem like unfeasibly high praise but there are echoes of the masters (Luchino Visconti, notably) in Lol Crawley’s superb 35mm cinematography."

Cine Cola

"the film fundamentally depends on the performances by the excellent European cast, that delivers solid turns. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER also includes a cameo by ROBERT PATTINSON, who only appears for little under fifteen minutes of the film overall, but does so with great credibility."


We'll update as more reviews are published!

UPDATE:

 Vanity Fair Italy had this to say about the Venice Festival (Translated using google translate) 
Now, another high defection rate of disappointment, the British actor Robert Pattinson, who at the 72nd Venice Film Festival in Venice, on Saturday 5, was to present The Childhood of a Leader in the category Horizons.

Unfortunately Robert Pattinson had a setback on the set of The Lost City of Z, which is running these days in Belfast.
For now, the show lacks official confirmation, but it seems there is so little hope.

As for the Deauville Festival, Le Figaro are reporting this......
(translated with Google Translate)
Another star who should, according to organizers, attracting a crowd of groupies, Briton Robert Pattinson, 29, will spend "a few hours" in Deauville Saturday. The vampire of the Twilight saga, which also embodied Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, has received the price of the new Hollywood. As in Berlin in February he will present Anton Corbijn Life, in which he plays a photographer James Dean.
