-> In the DEVELOPMENT & IMPLEMENTATION section of the file, David Michôd talks about casting Rob as Rey (page 6)
(…)
The next step was to build a cast around Pearce that Michôd felt confident in. The global success of Animal Kingdom opened doors for him in Los Angeles, and he was in the privileged position to be able to audition some heavyweights. Working with Casting Director Kirsty McGregor, and Lava Bear’s President of Production Tory Metzger, Michôd spent a lot of time reviewing the work of various actors, so by the time he auditioned Robert Pattinson he had worked out what he wanted for the character of Rey. Michôd had never seen a Twilight film and wasn’t overly familiar with Pattinson, but upon meeting together in LA, and after his audition Pattinson quickly became his favourite for the role. Recalls Michôd: “His performance in the tests was really great and real and moving. What I also liked about him was that it was really quite evident to me from our first conversation that he really wanted to do it.”

Here’s a great article on Rob’s upcoming movies
From Yahoo:
Robert Pattinson first appeared on movie screens in the 2004 movie adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair” and began garnering attention with his portrayal of Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” However, it was not until the first “Twilight” movie was released in 2008 that Pattinson rose to the level of international heartthrob. The English actor was perfectly cast as Edward Cullen, the love interest of Bella Swan, and reprised the role in subsequent “Twilight” films.
Since his appearance in “Twilight,” Pattinson has managed to defy expectations and continually impress critics with his choices in roles and his diverse acting chops. Around the same time as “Twilight,” Pattinson played a young Salvador Dali in “Little Ashes,” and in 2012, he played the lead role in “Cosmopolis,” a David Cronenberg-directed adaptation of a Don DeLillo novel.
With the last “Twilight” installment well in the past, fans of Robert Pattinson may be wondering what is next for the rising star. The following films are a few of Pattinson’s upcoming projects.
“The Rover”
Robert Pattinson has already appeared onscreen with some formidable acting talent, but “The Rover” finds Pattinson acting next to “L.A. Confidential” and “Memento” star Guy Pearce. An Australian crime picture that takes place in the near future, “The Rover” is a very interesting project equipped with high-wattage star power. The film was directed by David Michôd, who only has one feature-length credit under his belt, but that film happens to be the excellent crime thriller “Animal Kingdom.” “The Rover” debuts at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival before making its way to a U.S. release in June.
