Robert Pattinson's 'Maps To The Stars' Gets A May Release In France ~ Confirmed By French Distributor Le Pacte

French Website Allocine reported today that Robert Pattinson's Maps To The Stars would have a release day of May in France.



From Allocine  (Thanks to Pattinson_AW for the translation)

Le Pacte has announced that "Maps to the Stars", the next feature film by David Cronenberg starring Robert Pattinson, John Cusack and Julianne Moore will hit our screens in May 2014.

As we announced in January a first editing of Maps To The Stars was ready and that the film had passed by the Committee of Film Classification in the United States, Le Pacte - the french distributor - just gave a release date for the next film by David Cronenberg, in May 2014.

No specific date has been given, but like his Cosmopolis in 2012, there is a good chance that the release will be made simultaneously in theaters and for its presentation at Cannes.

Led by Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore and John Cusack, Maps To The Stars central theme is Hollywood, and more exactly the obsession with celebrity.

David Cronenberg has been selected 4 times in Cannes in Official Competition: Crash in 1996 and Spider in 2002, A History of Violence in 2005 and Cosmopolis in 2012.

Note that The Rover by David Michôd with Robert Pattinson has no realease date yet too and could be in competition for the Palme d'Or.

Double dose of Pattinson for the 67th Cannes Film Festival?

This was then confirmed to Pattinson_AW by  Le Pacte (the distributors in France)



"@le_pacte: we confirm #MapsToTheStars release date for May!"

May........ makes us and everyone think of one thing!

Camille Rowe and Romain Gavras mention Robert Pattinson and the Dior Homme film in L'Official (France)

Camille Rowe and Romain Gavras mention Robert Pattinson and the Dior Homme film in L'Official (France)

Pattinson Art Work found this interview with Camille Rowe. She mentions Rob and there's also a quote from Romain Gavras that mentions Rob as well.

Click HERE if you want to read the whole article in French. Thanks to Pattinson Art Work for the English translation:

She watches him take a bath all dressed up, eyes him up, walks naked before him, runs after him, kisses him against the metal walls of an elevator ... Stop! At this point in September 2013, putting her lips on Robert Pattinson's ones in the latest advertising of Dior Homme fragrance, directed by Romain Gavras, Camille Rowe-Pourcheresse changes status. She did not take long to realize it. Few hours after the premiere of the spot ad, she received a call from his mother. Reconstitution:
"Camille, where are you?
- In New York, on my couch with my Andrew (VanWyngarden, her fiancé and singer of the group MGMT, ed.) Why?
- I just got a Google alert saying that you went out of a hotel in Los Angeles with Robert Pattinson! "
(...)
Back to this Dior ad. Apart from some sweating that it causes to her mother, Camille Rowe-Pourcheresse sees such exposure with only positivity. "Honestly, I don't see any downside. I just now have the chance to choose to do what I want. "
(...)

"I shot with Romain Gavras four years ago by chance, to see how it was. It went very well, but I don't see myself making other films necessarily. Probably because I don't want to commit myself several weeks on the same project." Always for the benefit of the famous "freedom." A choice Romain Gavras regrets: "It's always sad to see a good actress who doesn't work. Because, really, Camille is a very good actress, she plays naturally. This is also why I asked her to do the Dior Homme ad with me. I knew she was going to help me to take Robert Pattinson where he, the great professional, would struggle to go. " 

Struggle....







I'll tell you....I'm struggling right now. Struggling real hard to stay vertical.

Sport & Style translation: 

L'Impatient Anglais
Fond of boxing, British Rob Pattinson is inspired by the noble art's codes of honor and Arsenal's elegance to manage his career. Meeting in Los Angeles with the new face of Dior Homme fragrance.

Sprawled on the sofa of the suite 111 at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Hollywood, eyes unfocused, Rob Pattinson is obviously tired. The blame to a party that lasted late the night before. However, he welcomes his guests with respect and sincerity leaping suddenly to his feet. Backwards Baseball cap, black shirt, jeans and sneakers, Diet Coke in hand, Robert Thomas Pattinson has very little to do with Edward Cullen, his avatar of the Twilight film series. At 27, Rob is more than just an English actor who conquered Hollywood, or even any international star of TV series. This discreet Londoner, cultured and elegant became a global icon adored by millions of fans. A comfortable but temporary status - and above all extremely cumbersome - that the actor is changing slowly and very cleverly: against type casting roles ('Maupassant' by Bel Ami, 'The Rover' by David Michôd) adoption of a Cinema "father" in the person of David Cronenberg ('Cosmopolis' in 2012 and a new movie in preparation) and a sensational entrance in the fashion world this fall by becoming the new face of Dior Homme fragrance. Lots of consistent evidence which tell us at Sport & Style, that we should not miss Rob Pattinson. Here he is sitting again and it's our turn to play vampires to elicit information.

When did you start to be interested by comedy and realize the expressive potential it represents?
I started late in a drama club because I was a very shy child. It was a revelation: it was the first time I confront myself to my fears and the adrenaline rush was intense. Then, there was the first time I had the feeling to "build" something. It was for 'Little Ashes' in 2008, a weird film where I played Salvador Dalí. I really wanted to give credibility to this character and therefore to my performance.

You've also been a musician?
At the beginning, I wanted to be a musician. It was still the case until Twilight. At that time, I was touring with a band in pubs around London. We were playing folk-pop but I've always preferred soul music more - Otis Redding, Van Morrison - than folk music.

What is elegance for you as an actor?
It is surely a balance between magnetism, aura, behavior, gestures, look. But elegance is also being able to listen and to speak.

What about style?
This is a way of expressing yourself, or rather a means of expression. Style is often viewed as a kind of cosmetic, a way of hiding yourself in a suit. On the contrary, i think that true style is first to have a good knowledge of who you are and also be very honest with yourself.

Is it difficult to find good scenarios when you are a superstar?
Yes, because it's difficult to know how the audience see you. Today, people know a lot of things about the actors outside of their profession. The choice of scenario is made by the intrinsic interest of the script, but also on what is almost a personal manifesto: choosing this character, it's me too!

Why did you choose 'The Rover' by David Michod which will be released soon? To go in the opposite direction of your public image?
Probably a little, it's part of the equation. I really wanted it, I auditioned twice! The script was wonderful, i worked hard. The story is fantastic, very original, told in a very innovative way. It was something that seemed very different from everything else and I wanted to be part of it.

Was your participation to a movie brand like the one you did with Romain Gavras for Dior, a way to help change your image to the public eye?
I hope. This adventure was very strange. Never would have I had imagined filming for a brand. However, the decision was easy to make and I never doubted it. If it was that easy it's cause it meant a lot to me, the fact that we all shared the same ideas and ambitions.

Romain Gavras was very admiring of your involvement in the project and of the way you played along...
This is why I wanted to do this project with him since the beginning because I knew he was as involved. In commercials, you always feel this feeling of discomfort, this distance between the director and the actors, between the product and the actors, between the movie and the audience... I didn't want that. In Romain's work, there is life, blood and sweat. A rawness you could almost touch. There was no way I'd be the guy who only poses but all the merit should go to Romain. He's the one who sparked off and inspired this kind of honesty.

Robert Pattinson "I wanted to be a musician"

Amateur boxing, Columbia Rob Pattinson inspired codes of honor of the noble art and elegance Arsenal to manage his career. Meeting in Los Angeles with the new face of Dior Homme fragrance.

A beam consistent evidence that tells us that we should not miss Rob Pattinson when called Sport & Style. Here he is again sitting in our turn to play vampires to elicit information ...

When did you preview your interest in acting and expressive potential it represents ?

And style ?
This is a way for me to speak , or rather a means of expression . Style is often seen as kind of cosmetic , a way of hiding in a suit. I find instead that true style is to first have a good knowledge of who we are and also very honest with yourself.

Is it difficult to find good movies when you are a superstar ?
Yes, because it is difficult to know what the public perceives you. Today, the public knows a lot about the actors outside of their profession. The choice of a movie is the intrinsic interest of the script, but also on what is almost a personal manifesto choose this character is me!

Why did you choose The Rover David Michod which will be out soon ? To go against the grain of your public image ?
Probably a little , it's part of the equation. I really wanted it , I auditioned twice! The script was beautiful , I 'm hooked. The story is fantastic, very original , told in a very innovative way. It was something that seemed very different from everything else and I wanted to be there.

Fan Has A Tête à Tête With Robert Pattinson Back In 2011

UPDATED: Added 2 more cute pics
We all know that Rob likes to do his part for charity and I'm pretty sure there's a lot he does that we don't hear about.
This story from 2011 surfaced today.

Rob spent some time when in France for BD1 promo meeting with Julie through a charity called Rèves ("Dreams"): The association that makes sick kids dreams come true.

Here's the lowdown of what happened, along with 3 gorgeous pics!!





Translation (via Google Translate with a few tweeks from me ;-})

He is the star of the Twilight saga and the idol of all the girls. Through the association, Julie was able to meet Robert Pattinson in person! This young 15 year old girl had the opportunity to spend a few minutes in the company of the star, on October 24, just before his appearance on 20h TF1. Also moved the girl, Robert easily played the game questions / answers.

The previous day, Julie was able to attend exclusively a Twilight Fan Event for Breaking Dawn Part 1 in a famous Parisian cinema. A special moment reserved for a few fans in which Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene answered questions from the public. It was followed by a projection of some scenes from the movie.

UPDATE: Added better quality video


Our readers are the best :) Here are the translations you guys shared in the dark recesses:

Over the rainbow: He's not sad about it being the end at the moment, but he expects to be at the very end of the promo. He's sure people will say they've changed the story, but he hope they like it anyway.
CDL: He was talking about his 3 new projects next year... The Rover, of course, a film in Iraq but he doesn't know when it will be done, and 3rd one with David Cronenberg (and apparently, he's quite exciting by it... lol) (apart of that, he isn't sad for now with the end of the saga... may be he will be at the very end... he talked also about the end of the story, being a bit modified... and hope ppl will like it...)
Gigileo: Right now I'm not really sad but I think that I will be at the end of the franchise. It's lasted a long time and here we are. It's really over. It's quite exciting. I'm sure that people will say 'they changed the story' but I hope they'll like it anyways.

From Mission:Blacklist France:
I'm filming a lot of movies next year. For starters, 'The Rover' is some sort of futuristic western that means a lot to me. And I might film in Iraq but I'm not sure when. And finally I'm gonna shoot with Cronenberg again, it's incredible.

Review of Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis - Notes he is perfect as Eric Packer

Review of Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis - Notes he is perfect as Eric Packer

UPDATE: Added another translation to the post from Alt Film Guide:

An early Cosmopolis review has come out via Studio Ciné Live‘s Fabrice Leclerc. Directed by the iconoclastic David Cronenberg, who adapted Don DeLillo’s novel, and starring Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis is definitely one of the most eagerly anticipated films at the Cannes Film Festival 2012.

The headline of Leclerc’s brief, three-star (out of five) Cosmopolis review reads: "A Cronenberg as brilliant as he is taut." Leclerc then begins his review by explaining that Cronenberg and DeLillo are "manufacturers of fantastic, unhealthy, and at times somber environments, of the science of language, and of totally chaotic characters. And of controversy as well."

Referring to Cosmopolis as a "ghostly and hypnotic" tale, Leclerc adds that Cronenberg had adapted to the letter DeLillo’s "ultrarich prose, filming with an incredible inventiveness this stifling and disturbing airtight environment."

As for Robert Pattinson, Leclerc says he’s "impeccable" until Cosmopolis‘ last segment, when, "lost in a verbal torrent," Pattinson "seems, all of a sudden, to be no longer in control."

Leclerc wraps up his review with the following: "As always with Cronenberg, there are no half-measures, no second gateway, no escape. Cosmopolis is to be experienced in full or not at all. Take it or leave it."

I would debate the reviewers issue of losing control at the end. That's actually what I would want to see from Eric Packer at the end. Can't wait to see this movie!



Studio Ciné Live (French) released a review of Cosmopolis. If you understand French, click the thumbnail at the bottom to read. We're going to need to get used to the translations, guys. Cannes will be producing tons of article and videos that will likely be dubbed and translated.

The reviewer gives the film 3 out of 5 stars and the main issue they had was Cronenberg's choice to stick with the author's text. They cite it works in some areas and felt it didn't in others. The review is also a bit shallow. A majority of the review is just a summary of the movie.

I personally like what I've seen in the clips. It's like we're watching a play. I like the the unique cadence since this is a unique day. It's going to be interesting to see how people respond that have never read the book.

Translation:

A Cronenberg as brilliant as he is firm.

Each in their own genre, David Cronenberg and Don DeLillo are silversmiths of fantastic, unhealthy and sometimes dark atmospheres. As well as of the science of language and characters in shambles and - let's not forget - of controversy.
 
It's then pretty obvious that one would end up adaptation the other's work. Cosmopolis is the ghostly and hypnotic story of a day in the life of a golden boy who is about to lose his empire because of the crisis, indifferent to the world that surrounds him. He's hypochondriac and schizophrenic. His long journey across a chaotic New York, rythmed by meetings with his wife, his mistresses and his employees, will lead him to a point of no return. In a perfect balanced cinematic movement, David Cronenberg decided to adapt to the letter the extremely rich prose of Don DeLillo. He filmed with an incredible ingenuity this stifling and unsettling closed-door.
 
This preconception to stay faithful to the text of the author is amazing but not without any danger. Especially in the last part of the film, where one could definitely get lost in a verbal flood that becomes complex for the viewer and for Robert Pattinson - who was perfect until then - but seems, all of the sudden, to lose control.

As always with Cronenberg, there's no in between, no second place, no way out. Cosmopolis gets appreciated at full or not at all. Take it or leave it.

David Cronenberg & Don DeLillo Talk Robert Pattinson To Le Monde

Le Monde spoke to David Cronenberg & Don DeLillo and they mention Robert Pattinson.
Again I used Google to translate so take the translation loosely but I think you'll get the gist of it. (I hope ;-})



Why did you, as a director choose to adapt a novel?

David Cronenberg: First of all laziness, to write an original script can take years. Cosmopolis, that took me six days. A record for me. It was very strange. The first day, I transcribed the dialogues, in a direct format scenario. The following day, I added the details of the action. And that's all. I read, wondering if this was a movie. It was. With the structure of dialogues. Don DeLillo's dialogues are unique. They have a specific rhythm. They are totally realistic, but at the same time stylish.

The dialogues are crucial?

David Cronenberg: They're a key element of the scenario, the only really found on the screen. Everything else changes once in production. The dialogues give you an idea of ​​the quality of the film. Are the characters are interesting? How do they interact?

This approach to the scenario may seem surprising from an author well versed in the genre of film?

David Cronenberg: We often think that cinema is a visual art. I personally think that this is a very complex alloy. For me, the essence of cinema is a face that speaks. That's what we film the most. I heard that the last twenty-two minutes of the film, where there is none other than Paul Giamatti and Robert Pattinson in a room, this is theater. I don't think so. In theater, you wouldn't have close-ups, no camera movement, no changes in light. This is the cinema. Without close-ups there is no cinema.

And Robert Pattinson?

Don DeLillo: The character he plays ​is very close to the one in the novel. I haven't seen the Twilight series, in which he acts, but I impressed my two 13 year old nieces, saying that Britain's Robert Pattinson would play in a film adapted from one of my books. They show me respect now! (Kate: I bet they do. Now is the time to suck up to Uncle Don)

David Cronenberg: Casting is an occult art. It is a matter of intuition. There are objective factors, though. The character is 28 years old, he is American. So you need someone who is that age, and that can have a perfect American accent. The film is a co-production between France and Canada. Also, I could use only one American actor, and for me it was Paul Giamatti. I could take a Briton, however.

Then of course there is the presence of the actor. He needs to be able to embody this character who is particularly complex, cruel, brutal, vulgar, in a sense, and very sophisticated and vulnerable at the same time, naive and childish? To make people believe that such a young person has achieved so much, takes strength and charisma. And he's in every scene. This doesn't mean he must be beautiful, but it must be pleasant to look at him for an hour and a half. (Kate: Oh believe me it's more than pleasant to look at Rob for an hour an a half ;-))
Finally, he must have a certain notoriety. Since the film costs a certain budget, you need to be able to excite your financial partners a little. (Kate: And I'm pretty sure that Rob excites financial partners (along with everyone else) more than a little.)
With all these constraints, the list of actors is relatively short. And I started thinking about Rob soon enough.

Robert Pattinson in Official French Bel Ami Trailer

This movie is just trickling out for every country. Bel Ami doesn't come out in France until June 27th. The footage in the trailer isn't exactly new but since I've watched Bel Ami, I also reread the script and I miss some of the footage seen in the trailer. I'm hoping there are several deleted scenes. :)

One trailer is in French and the other is in English with subtitles.

Favorite line? "My heart and my body are yours."






Magnolia Pictures has also added some cities to the US theatrical release.
