Robert Pattinson To Get Deauville Festival Honors
Robert
Pattinson will be honored at the 2017 Deauville American Film Festival, it was
announced Tuesday. Additional honorees and the festival’s lineup of film
premieres have also been unveiled.
The
actor was originally slated to attend the festival in September 2015 to collect
the Hollywood Rising Star Award, but had to cancel his appearance due to
production delays on his film The Lost City of Z. As Gossip Cop reported, Pattinson
also skipped the Venice Film Festival around the same time due to the
scheduling conflict, but many tabloids falsely claimed he bailed on the event
to avoid running into Kristen Stewart.
The
French festival, which is dedicated to American cinema, will also honor Woody
Harrelson, Darren Aronofsky, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Michelle Rodriguez
during its 43rd edition. There will also be a number of big American movies

Robert Pattinson Reddit AMA Q&A: Highlights
Robert Pattinson participated in his first-ever Reddit AMA on Friday. Here are some highlights.
On the user-generated platform, fans could submit questions, and the actor chose which ones to answer. The chat coincided with the nationwide release of his critically-acclaimed film.
One topic that repeatedly came up was Pattinson’s role in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. “I was wondering how it feels knowing you will forever be a part of the Harry Potter franchise, and by extension many peoples’ cinematic education and childhoods?” asked on fan. He responded, “It’s a lovely feeling. It was genuinely a really special experience working on it. And ended up being really life changing for me.”
But when asked for “funny stories” from the set, Pattinson said he had to “try and think of one.” Amusingly, he also apparently forgot he did a commentary for the film’s DVD. Asked for his Hogwarts house, he declared, “I’d be a hufflepuff even if harry potter wasn’t a book.” And on the subject of Harry Potter And The Curse Child, Pattinson admitted he’s “been intending to see the play for months and months.”
He also assured a an that he’s still making “quite a lot of music,” but noted, “I just don’t really know what to do with it. Music industry is pretty rough.” Pattinson seemed to avoid Twilight questions, but did respond to one person who wrote, “You’re impossibly fast, and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change coloor, and sometimes you speak like you’re from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don’t go out in the sunlight… How old are you?” The answer: 31.
Other questions were about filmmaking. Pattinson replied that he doesn’t have a plan for his career, but “always just want to try and do something very different every time I do a project.” He went on, “I don’t know really how difficult that’s been because I’ve always been pretty lucky in the jobs that come up.” He also said he hasn’t purposefully stayed away from big productions. “The hope is to make every movie a blockbuster i guess…but I’m always on the look out for projects across the budget spectrum,” Pattinson explained. “Larger budgets just get a bit scarier though because the stakes get exponentially higher and more people involved are afraid to relinquish control.”
And when asked if he has interest in joining a franchise, such as the Marvel or DC universes, he replied, “Maybe one day.” The British star does have interest in another medium. “Always open to doing something on television. I’ve just never found the perfect thing,” he told one user. “I like doing performances where you don’t really have to hit marks in the plot arc in really obvious places and television helps you with that a bit. I think.”
In some shorter answers, Pattinson dismissed the suggestion that he’s bothered by trolls and internet memes using his image. “It’s pretty difficult to bum me out,” he said. As for whether he thinks about finally signing up for social media accounts, he quipped, “Only in dark moments.” And to describe his life outside of acting, he cracked, “Sucks.” Pattinson also revealed Hodor is the “Game of Thrones” character he’d most like to play, discussed his viral photo with Beyonce, shared his current reading list and favorite albums.

scenes, in which the brothers try to rob a bank. The Directors told the readers

look forward to joining their efforts, so together we can give opportunity to
even more kids and young adults across the globe."

Robert Pattinson Says His Movie Are "Weird And Don't Make A Lot Of Money"
In
his recent interview with CBS “Sunday Monday” Robert Pattinson talks about his movies
in the years since his blockbuster Twilight franchise ended.
The
actor became a household name playing handsome vampire Edward Cullen in the
popular Twilight series, but he’s opted for mostly independent projects in
recent years. Pattinson’s latest film, the gritty bank robbery drama Good Time in which he stars as a
low-life New York criminal, is another example of the actor’s transformations.
“I
think so much of life, people are trying to put you in a box and define you all
the time,” Pattinson says in his CBS interview, which airs this Sunday. “And
it’s just exciting to have a job where you can consistently break the walls of
the box around you.” He adds, “It’s not like, ‘Oh, I’ll come down from an ivory
tower to be…’ I mean, these roles are hard for me to get. It’s not like I’m Leo
[DiCaprio] or something.”
Pattinson
goes on to note his fame is helpful in “getting financing” for small films,
which he says are often hard to get funded because “the movies I do are weird
and they don’t make a lot of money, a lot of the time.” The actor further
expresses gratitude for the opportunity to make films he’s passionate about
because show business can be very fickle. “I always think that, like, at some
point Karma is like, ‘Oh, that’s all your luck run out.’ And now it’s, ‘so a
whole bunch of bad stuff’s gonna happen,’” he says.
Also
during the interview, Pattinson discusses his childhood, early acting career,
the tabloids, personal relationships and more.

Robert Pattinson Wants To "Break The Walls Of The Box"

Pattinson is opening up about his acting career, being famous, and more.
The
31-year-old Good Time star sat down with CBS Sunday Morning for an interview
that will premiere this Sunday (August 20) at 9 a.m. ET.
“I
think so much of life people are trying to put you in a box and define you all
the time,” Robert told interviewer Michelle Miller. “And it’s just exciting to
have a job where you can – where you’re allowed to – consistently break the
walls of the box around you.”
“It’s
not like, ‘Oh, I’ll come down from an ivory tower to be…’ I mean, these roles
are hard for me to get,” he continued. “It’s not like I’m… Leo [DiCaprio] or
something. The only thing that being famous really helps in is…getting
financing for your… movies. And…the movies I do are weird and they don’t make a
lot of money… a lot of the time.”
“I
always think that, like, at some point Karma…is like, ‘Oh, that’s all your luck
run out,’” he added while discussing success. “And now it’s, ‘So a whole bunch
of bad stuff’s gonna happen.’”
Robert
also talked about his childhood, breaking into acting, his ongoing struggle of
dealing with the tabloids, personal relationships, and more.
