Confirmed by the ‘Brimstone’ director Martin Koolhoven: Rob is no longer attached to Brimstone…
Andreas Wiseman from Screen Daily, broke the news.
Variety, Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter have articles about Kit Harrington joining the cast and although there’s no “replacement” mention, Rob and Mia’s names are not listed as part of the cast and Dakota Fanning is listed as “Liz” – the main female character and Mia’s original part.
Here’s the poster for Martin Koolhoven’s Brimstone for the Cannes Film Festival:
*NOTE* after a question by Martin Koolhoven via twitter about the grey of the ‘poster’, we’ve come to understand that it’s ‘market poster’ so no official poster!
Storyboard artist Raimond van Soest is working on a new scene for Brimstone… with Robert Pattinson! We can’t wait to see the results

Most of the interview seems similar to the interview with Filmpjekijken.com which we’ve already translated here, but there are a few new details about the movie in this one, as well as the first movie sketch that was released with the interview. We highlighted the parts where Rob is mentioned. Translation by us:
Question: How did you get Pattinson to join?
Koolhoven: That goes through an agency. I was watching some movies Guy Pearce was in and last year he was in ‘The Rover’ and Pattinson was in there too. So I happened to stumble on that and I fell for that role. It is completely different from his role in ‘Brimstone’, but I thought he was really good.
Question: What will he be doing exactly in your movie?
Koolhoven: He will play an outlaw and I’m not going to say more than that. It’s a secret.
Question: And all Pattinson fans love you now?
Koolhoven: Yes ha ha ha last night things went crazy and Twitter exploded. People started to talk to me from all over the world in strange languages.

EX TEEN IDOL
Actor Robert Pattinson is used to the Red Carpet, where he, thanks to the Twilight series, was often waylaid by teenage girls. Now he plays a Red Carpet photographer in Anton Corbijn’s LIFE.
One of the first things that director, Anton Corbijn, did after he had cast Robert Pattinson was to put a camera in his hands. In the role of Dennis Stock, photographer of the international photo press bureau Magnum, the camera, he thought, had to become a part of his body. He had another reason: Pattinson had to feel how it is to be behind the camera instead of being in front of it.
The role that Pattinson plays in the new movie of Anton Corbijn, that got a special Gala Screening at Berlin, feels a bit like the world is upside-down. In the movie the world star and teen idol stands in between the photographers at the Red Carpet where in real life the 28 year old actor is waylaid by photographers.
Robert Pattinson, who is at the Berlin film festival with Anton Corbijn’s ‘Life’ explains why he can’t sit through premiere screenings and talks about his past, his future and his connection to ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ BERLIN, GERMANY (FEBRUARY 9, 2015) (REUTERS) – It was the morning after the night before for British actor Robert Pattinson as he attended a press junket on Tuesday (February 10) after he launched his new movie, Anton Corbijn’s ‘Life’ at the Berlin film festival. However, unlike the other people on the red carpet, Pattinson didn’t sit through the screening of the film.
“I actually didn’t watch it last night,” he admitted.
Even though the interview doesn’t mention Robert Pattinson, it’s still an interesting read with the director’s ideas about the movie and loads of background info. (Translation by us – please credit)
