Moviefone talks about A24 Films acquiring The Rover and compliment Robert Pattinson

UPDATE: A24 is "so excited" and so are we! Bottom of the post, under their tweet.

Rob, some folks are saying some awesome things about you!



Awwww don't be like that. It's going to keep on happening. ;) You guys will love this from Moviefone:

Anyone who thinks Robert Pattinson's acting stops at making swoony vampire eyes is selling the star short -- by a considerable margin. (Tink: HELL YES) 

While Pattinson's performances in "Water for Elephants" and "Remember Me" were solid, both leaned too heavily on his "Twilight" cred, casually capitalizing on his weepy romantic image. However, it was last year's "Cosmopolis," an adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel of the same name by Canadian director David Cronenberg, that pushed Pattinson over the edge from potentially great to genuinely wonderful. (Tink: I die.) 

It looks like that streak will continue with "The Rover," a post-apocalyptic western from "Animal Kingdom" director David Michod, which has just secured American distribution from A24 ("Spring Breakers," "The Bling Ring").

Keep on wooing us with those words, Moviefone, keep on....

EXCITING NEWS!!! The Rover has a US distributor! Here's the announcement via The Hollywood Reporter and Jeff Snieder from The Wrap shared his 2 cents about the company. Sounding GREAT. :)

A24 has acquired U.S. rights to David Michod’s thriller The Rover, starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson 

Set in a futuristic version of Australia following an economic collapse, the film follows Pearce, who plays a loner traveling the outback, who teams up with Pattinson to track a gang of thieves. Michod, who wrote and directed 2010’s Animal Kingdom, also wrote The Rover based on a story he and Joel Edgerton conceived. 

It was produced by Michod, Liz Watts for Porchlight Film and David Linde under his Lava Bear Films banner. The film co-stars Scoot McNairy, David Field, Anthony Hayes, Gillian Jones and Susan Prior. Natsha Braier served as director of photography and Jo Ford, who also collaborated with Michod on Animal Kingdom, was production designer. A24 will release The Rover theatrically in the U.S., while Village Roadshow will release it in Australia and New Zealand. The film’s investment partners include Screen Australia, the South Australian Film Corporation and Screen NSW, and financial partners Fulcrum Media and the Union Bank. 

"A24 is a perfect fit for The Rover -- a young, innovative and exciting company at the cutting edge of the independent sector in the US, they have contributed to an already exciting array of global distribution partners, and we are pleased to be partnering with them on the future release of the film," producers Watts and Linde said. 

A24 is currently distributing Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring and will open James Ponsoldt's The Spectacular Now on Aug. 2. A24 negotiated the deal with UTA Independent Film Group on behalf of the filmmakers and FilmNation Entertainment. UTA also reps Michod. Prior to selling the U.S. rights to A24, FilmNation Entertainment licensed the film to a majority of territories worldwide based on showing a two-minute reel of footage from the film.

UPDATE: Comment from A24 via IndieWire:

“David Michôd is a visionary filmmaker and we are thrilled to work with him to bring The Rover to US audiences. The movie will undoubtedly confirm his singular voice and distinctive gift for creating arresting visuals and indelible characters.”

If you guys want to know more about A24, click HERE to read an article from the LA Times: "Plucky start-up A24 chips at the wall between indie and multiplex." and "A24 wants to inject modestly budgeted films into the national conversation, providing the films, and their directors, a hard-won cultural exposure that defies the art-house ghetto."

Congrats to relative new kid on the block @A24Films on picking up THE ROVER. Between that & Spectacular Now, they're flaunting great taste!

It's been a couple of weeks so we definitely want to know...



Kate:
"I needed a cold shower after seeing those new DiorRob pics"



Tink:
"DiorRob has me hot and bothered for sure."



Kat:
"I’m totally going to cheat. I woke up this morning and realized it was 36 hours until my Mum touches down in the US, I haven’t seen her in over a year… gif #1 reflects that mood. Then I saw the new Dior pics and pic #2 pretty much sums up my reaction there… (I chewed on a pencil instead!)"
