Enough Already, ‘The Lighthouse’ Performance Proves Robert Pattinson Is More Than Worthy Of Respect [Cannes]

Despite what the Batman backlash might indicate, Robert Pattinson has come a long way from his sparkly vampire days. Pattinson made his first major appearance as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” but it wasn’t until his leading role in the “Twilight” saga in 2008 that he became a household name. Since the end of “Twilight” in 2013, Pattinson set to work amassing a fair few indie titles in his filmography, from “Good Time” to last year’s “High Life,” directed by Claire Denis.

After the announcement that Pattinson would play Batman in the upcoming Matthew Reeves film, the news of Pattinson’s casting has stoked the vitriolic flames of Internet backlash. Our records indicate that, on the whole, Pattinson’s body of work is more substantial than the legions of incensed film bros on Twitter would have you believe.

But perhaps none of his other titles are as convincing as his latest — and this is coming from a self-professed “Twilight” detractor whose early adolescence was inundated by glittery Pattinson iconography, to great annoyance. Yet even this critic, who diligently avoided Pattinson-related media for most of middle school, has to admit that Pattinson excels in his latest role. It feels particularly auspicious that the Batman casting news coincides with the premiere of “The Lighthouse,” Robert Eggers’ provocative black-and-white horror film, which screened as part of the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival (our review), and somehow was mysteriously not part of the Cannes competition line-up (one of the most dubious Cannes decision in years).

He and Kristen Stewart are making some very interesting and admirable choices in their careers: ("Personal Shopper"; "Good Time" and many more).

So glad they had the courage to not get stuck in a franchise doing "Twilight: Part XI".

I realized his true abilities when I saw him in DAWSON'S 50 LOAD WEEKEND.

As 'Fluffer #2' he not only brought passion to his role but was so convincing that I really thought it was his real calling.

The trailer is superb.

Gorgeous poster.

What's with the mermaid's tail, though? Or is that a spoiler?

Ugh... I can imagine some DLer who went to Cannes coming in here and spoiling the film. If you're reading, please don't!

R6, there's a brief shot of a mermaid in the trailer. There also seems to be some sort of tentacular creature as well, which delights me.

He will take it to the awesome level if he presents cock and hole on screen. For now, he's only respectable for me.

r7 Thanks for the warning; I thought it takes place on dry land only. So I definitely can't even check out the trailer because I have severe megalohydrothalassophobia. Even linking that poster nearly made me faint. Oh, well.

And yes, please don't anyone spoil the movie. You can always create a separate spoiler thread and discuss the spoilers in the replies.

R9 The majority of the trailer takes place in the lighthouse. There's only a underwater shot of the mermaid's tail. Hopefully it's not enough to trigger you. I suggest watching it as it's such a great trailer!

But.....the FACE! It's hideous.

Remember when Robert Pattinson lied about watching a performer die at the circus?

“So glad they had the courage to not get stuck in a franchise doing "Twilight: Part XI".“

What courage? They never quit the franchise. It was the franchise that quit them when it ran out of shit books to make into shit movies.

Trust that if Twilight XI is green lit, those two will be back. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

It looks really creepy.

Let me guess: one of them is an imagination of the other.

by Anonymousreply 17September 9, 2019 6:20 PM

He's only 33 years old.

Movie has interesting visuals and is atmospheric, but you can tell nothing about the actual characters or their story.

R15 The franchise was sabotaged hy leaks. Some think an actor was leaking the last book.

by Anonymousreply 19September 9, 2019 7:16 PM

r17, I bet both of them are the imagination of the lighthouse, which got bored being out there all by itself.

A filthy fat greasy frau started this thread since I only see 4 replies, that or a filthy fat greasy rump supporter. Anyway fraus are the only ones defending lady fingers as batman.

r21 We really don't need to know the detailed breakdown of your ignore list. Seriously, no one cares.

Reviews are out and they seem pretty great, for the most part.

He looks terrible. He looks sixty, rather than thirty-three. Did he need to lose weight for this role? He looks like an addict, or someone seriously ill. I wonder if he's improved his personal hygiene as well. It's been said he leaves a foul wake wherever he goes.

I have to admit, she almost looked like a half-animated corpse in the new Charlie's Angels trailer.

R21 This isn't the airport, honey. We don't need you to read out who's on your list, or announce arrivals and departures.

Have a seat.

Omg, the cam version is out. I know what I'm doing tonight, honey. 💅
