‘Maps to the Stars’ Makes Hitfix’s 25 Most Anticipated Prestige Films of 2014 List Leave a comment
Maps to the Stars is on Hitfix’s 25 Most Anticipated Prestige Films of 2014 and they also included this look at Jerome from the movie.
Here’s what Guy Lodge (from Hitfix) had to say about it:
“Maps to the Stars”
Director: David Cronenberg Cast: Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Carrie Fisher, Olivia Williams
Expected debut: Cannes
Why: David Cronenberg is one of my favorite working filmmakers, so a new film of his is not never not going to be on a list like this for me. But I don’t mind admitting that he’s tested my patience of late: “A Dangerous Method” was elegant but insufficiently dangerous, while “Cosmopolis,’ though well suited to his kinky side, was too bound to its source novel to soar. Will a Hollywood satire bring back his bite? The premise sounds promisingly silly. Cusack’s a psychotherapist and parent of a drug-addicted child star. Wasikowska is his pyromaniac daughter, who befriends Pattinson’s limo driver and wannabe actor. Moore is a star remaking one of her mother’s films as she’s literally haunted by the old woman, and so on and so forth. This could all go way out of control, but that’s kind of what we want, right?
‘Maps to the Stars’ and ‘The Rover’ on several ‘Most Anticipated Movies of 2014’ lists 1 comment
Maps to the Stars and The Rover are on few ‘most anticipated movies of 2014’ lists.
Maps to the Stars
Director: David Cronenberg, making his 18th film. Concept: The entertainment industry’s relationship to Western civilization, as seen through the plight of two former child stars. Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson, John Cusack. The Skinny: Cronenberg is always worthwhile, and turning his cerebral, surreal eye on Hollywood could wield fascinating results. Wasikowska is becoming a great actress, and it’s nice to see Robert Pattinson leap into auteur-driven art house projects, post-Twilight fame.

New Project: Robert Pattinson starring in ‘Misoneism’ – short film directed by Zach Hill from Death Grips? 1 comment
ETA: The band posted that Rob is probably not doing a movie with Death Grips’ Zach Hill. Even on their article they’re not sure of what’s going on. Is this part of a “social experiment” as mentioned on the letter released by the band (posted below) to Pigeons and Planes and now denied to Pitchforks? Well we’ll wait and see.
From Pitchfork:
The band tells Pitchfork that none of this is true. There is no short film directed by Zach Hill and starring Robert Pattinson. They don’t know who sent the letter. But, this being Death Grips… who knows what’s going on.
ETA2: Colin Hanks spoke to Consequences of Sound and said he didn’t make a movie with the band.
From Consequences of Sound:
Hanks tells Consequence of Sound that news of him making a movie with Death Grips is untrue. So it definitely looks ilike we can chalk this one up as a hoax. Sorry, folks.
ETA 3: Pigeons and Planes posted an update to their post saying that someone claiming to be Death Grips’ management confirmed the letter, but the confirmation might be fake. So we’re back to wait and see…
From Pigeons and Planes
UPDATE: According to Pitchfork, the band has denied that any of this is true, but this may be all part of the plan. Someone claiming to be Death Grips’ management has confirmed the original letter with us, saying they are trying to keep this low key. But there is a chance that this confirmation is fake. Stay tuned.
ETA 4: Death Grips posted about the “letter” on their tumblr account. You can see the update by just checking the page, but if you follow them, you can see it on you Dashborard – posted yesterday.
Original post:
From Pigeons and Planes
Death Grips have been in the news lately for canceling dates and not showing up to scheduled concerts, but they’ve been productive during their time off. Today, they sent out a press release (sent “exclusively to 10 smaller websites”) to let people know what they’ve been up to, and in addition to starting a record label, they’ll be releasing books, artwork, and a film. The film is about underground prostitution, and in line with what Death Grips has been doing since day one, it sets out to shed light “in a shocking and abrasive way.” Read the full message below:
