Robert Pattinson laughed off any continued hatred against the “Twilight” franchise in a translated interview for GQ Spain. The actor debuted as the vampire Edward Cullen in 2008’s “Twilight,” which launched a $3.3 billion movie franchise across five movies and turned Pattinson and co-star Kristen Stewart into global superstars.

“I love that people keep telling me, ‘Man, ‘Twilight’ ruined the vampire genre,'” Pattinson said in the interview. “Are you still stuck on that shit? How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago? It’s crazy.”

When Pattinson last spoke to GQ in 2022, he revealed that he wanted the original “Twilight” movie to be as edgy and emo as possible. He was 21 years old at the time and feeling young adult angst, but his vision for the movie didn’t sit right with the studio.

“I wanted to make it as arty as possible,” Pattinson said at the time.

Director Christopher Nolan’s next feature, “The Odyssey” is described as a ‘mythic, action epic’, based on the ancient writings of Greek poet ‘Homer’, to be filmed around the world with new advances in IMAX camera technology, with a cast of ‘monsters’, alongside Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, Jon Bernthal, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o and Zendaya, releasing July 17, 2026, in theaters:

‘…written in the 8th century BC, Greek hero ‘Odysseus’, king of ‘Ithaca’, journeys home after the ‘Trojan War’…

“…encountering deadly monsters including the female, six-headed cave-dwelling ‘Scylla’…

“…‘Charybdis’, the deadly whirlpool in the ‘Strait of Messina’…

“…and ‘Polyphemus’, the cannibal ‘Cyclops’…

“…that Odysseus blinds with a burning stake.

‘He also encounters the ‘Lotus-Eaters’ tribe that eat a magical psychedelic plant…

“…that makes people forget time and their desire to return home.

“Presumed dead, Odysseus’ wife ‘Penelope’ and son ‘Telemachus’ …

“…contend with various suitors who compete for Penelope’s hand in Odysseus’ absence.

Christopher Nolan's next movie, an adaptation of The Odyssey, is generating a huge amount of excitement in Hollywood. Now, as the filmmaker gears up to begin shooting his first fantasy epic, the star-studded cast has added another impressive name.

According to Deadline (via SFFGazette.com), Daredevil: Born Again and The Punisher star Jon Bernthal has joined the cast of the movie. His role is being kept under wraps, but he's the latest A-Lister to board the project which will be led by Spider-Man 4's Tom Holland.

Also part of the cast are Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron.

When the news broke that Christopher Nolan’s next movie would be an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey, I was ecstatic. I did feel a bit sorry for the cast and creators of The Return, another movie released in the past six months that adapted The Odyssey, as that movie did not receive the attention it deserved and now will forever be overshadowed by Christopher Nolan’s project.

Attached to the project, so far, are Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. All of them are phenomenal actors. Unless Nolan is gender swapping the role of Odysseus, one, maybe two of them seem like they would be ripe for the role.

It's being reported that Tom Holland will play the lead of the movie. If that is Odysseus, it is the wrong choice. While Tom Holland is a great actor, he should not portray the Greek hero.

The Bear and The Punisher actor Jon Bernthal is ready to get epic for Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, The Odyssey. The cast of Nolan’s latest project is already bursting at the seams, with stars like Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and Matt Damon a part of the action.

The Odyssey is an ancient Greek poem by Homer that tells the tale of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, and his journey home after the ten-year Trojan War. The trip was perilous, including encounters with the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe. At home, Odysseus is presumed dead, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must contend with groups of unruly suitors who each want Penelope’s hand in marriage to control the kingdom.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey plans to shoot globally using new IMAX technology, a prospect with cinephiles salivating. Nolan, of course,...

Warner Bros. Pictures has just shared a new trailer (via SFFGazette.com) for Mickey 17, the next groundbreaking cinematic experience from the Academy Award-winning writer/director of Parasite, Bong Joon Ho.

In the movie, the unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job...to die, for a living.

This sneak peek offers a better idea of what to expect from Mickey 17 after it was pushed from its previous 2024 release. The movie looks thought-provoking and bonkers in equal measure, and Pattinson looks like he's having a blast as this "Expendable."

Talking to Elle earlier this week, the actor confirmed rumours that he initially based Mickey's voice on Jackass icon Steve-o:

"I used to love, and I still do love, Jackass. I remember listening to an interview with Steve-o years ago and he...

Christopher Nolan revived the Batman franchise in 2005 with Batman Begins and instantly created a cinematic experience like no other. His version of the Caped Crusader stood the test of time, and with The Dark Knight trilogy, fans have something to call a classic Batman tale.

The making of the first film entailed a lot of requirements from Warner Bros, and Nolan obediently followed them despite the challenge. He gave us one of the most iconic looks of the Batmobile, Bruce Wayne’s signature car.

Warner Bros wanted Christopher Nolan to introduce a new Batmobile in The Dark Knight franchise

A Batman movie isn’t complete without the vigilante’s toys, and perhaps his Batmobile is the most prominent of all. Portrayed by Christian Bale, Bruce Wayne owned a sleek and heavily armored combat vehicle which he uses to fight crimes in Gotham City.

Exclusive: Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey is adding to its already stellar cast as sources tell Deadline that Emmy winner Jon Bernthal is boarding the film. He joins a cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.

Last month, Universal revealed that Nolan’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning Oppenheimer would be an adaptation of the epic poem composed by Homer around the 8th century Bce.

“Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new Imax film technology,” the studio said at the time. “The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to Imax film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.”

It is unknown who Bernthal will be playing; Universal had no comment on his casting.

The ancient Greek poem is one of the foundational texts of Western literature.

“Not a single one of my films has ever been released without some change in its release date,” Parasite director Bong Joon Ho told Screen Daily earlier this month, and it appears his latest off-the-wall feature, Mickey 17, is no different. After getting delayed several times, Mickey 17 comes to theaters on April 18, 2025, but not before the film’s latest trailer teases the sci-fi adventure to come.

The official synopsis for Mickey 17 reads: “From the Academy Award-winning writer/director of “Parasite,” Bong Joon Ho, comes his next groundbreaking cinematic experience, “Mickey 17.” The unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living.” In addition to Robert Pattinson as the various Mickeys, the film also stars Steve Yeun, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and Naomi Ackie.

"Are you afraid to die?" "This time I wasn't scared."

It just had its world premiere in Seoul, South Korea a few days ago, and it's also screening at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival in February before it opens in theaters this March. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey Barnes, an "Expendable": a disposable employee on a human expedition sent out to colonize the ice world Niflheim. There can't be more than two of them at the same time, but after he goes missing he comes back to discover another. Based on the sci-fi novel written by Edward Ashton. The cast also features Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Steve Park, Patsy Ferran, and Angus Imrie. This seems like an amusing revolutionary sci-fi adventure. It...

Hi, I’m Bruce Wayne and welcome to Jackass! Robert Pattinson is such a big fan of both Jackass and one of its original stars, Steve-o (real name Stephen Glover), that he has perfected an accent that he joked would serve him well if there was ever a movie about the wild stuntman.

Speaking with Elle, Pattinson admitted, “I used to love, and I still do love, Jackass. I remember listening to an interview with Steve-o years ago and he was talking about how much they got paid for these dangerous stunts on the first season, and he said a hundred bucks. Like, you can die from doing this, and he was like, ‘Nah, I’ll just do it for a hundred. It’s fine.’ And there was something about that—actually being really brave and not ever acknowledging that it’s bravery…If they ever make the Steve-O biopic,...

As we know, Christopher Nolan is bringing Homer’s epic story, The Odyssey, to the big screen. The movie is going to start filming soon, and set construction has already begun in Aït Ben-Haddou, Morocco, a Unesco World Heritage site known for its stunning kasbahs.

The movie features a star-studded cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron. Each actor brings their unique talent to this ambitious project.

Actor Robert Pattinson has shared a renewed sense of optimism about the film industry, marking a significant shift from his previous concerns about Hollywood’s future. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, the 37-year-old star of “The Batman” revealed how recent challenges nearly pushed him away from acting.

The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent Hollywood labor strikes created widespread uncertainty in the entertainment world. Pattinson candidly admitted that during this period, he felt deeply discouraged. “Everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly,” he explained. “I was literally almost turned off. It actually started to get a little worrying.”

The actor, who first gained fame in the “Harry Potter” franchise, described a pervasive sense of creative stagnation. Many of his colleagues felt that film productions had become overly formulaic, with actors questioning the industry’s direction.

Recently, however, Pattinson’s perspective has dramatically changed. He now sees a promising creative resurgence in cinema.

When you think about useless superpowers, turning off your sense of smell probably falls under that category, Unless you’re in public transport in the middle of a heatwave. If you can do it at will, you share this peculiar trait with the current Batman, Robert Pattinson.

Robert Pattinson recently told Elle he can “weirdly turn on and off” his sense of smell and believes he has a form of “scent dyslexia,” where he perceives smells differently than others.

He explained that certain scents, like the smell of babies, changed for him after becoming a parent, saying it went from thinking they smelled like “genetically modified piglets” to “the best smell I’ve ever smelled.” This is in fact quite common among many parents.

Since I had a kid, I’ve definitely become more attuned to that.

As Nosferatu heads to video-on-demand in the US, we look at how fart jokes and fake penises offer a surprising way into Robert Eggers’ filmography.

If you want an indication of how unlikely Nosferatu’s recent box office success was, look no further than Amleth’s fart in The Northman. In the many thousands of words spent dissecting Robert Eggers’ recent pair of blockbuster classics, few have looked at the director’s fondness for playground humour. Through some strange alchemy of the incredibly mundane and the supernaturally absurd, the two or three shots of passed gas or genitalia in the director’s post-Lighthouse filmography have become oddly central to his more mainstream success. Stop sniggering, this is serious stuff.

Robert Pattinson admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair that he nearly convinced himself that cinema was dying and it was time to maybe stop acting as Hollywood struggled in the wake of the Covid pandemic and two major labor strikes. But then came a few movies like Oscar contender “The Brutalist,” directed by his friend Brady Corbet, that made him excited about the movies again. Corbet directed Pattinson in the filmmaker’s debut feature “The Childhood of a Leader.”

“It’s strange because the last few years for the film industry, starting with Covid and then the strikes, everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly,” Pattinson said. “I was literally almost turned off. It actually started to get a little worrying.”

“Then looking in the last few months, there’s this flurry of very ambitious movies,” he continued. “I feel like the stuff that’s going...

Robert Pattinson nearly lost hope in the future of the film and his career as an actor after the Covid-19 pandemic and the joint actors and writers strikes.

The Mickey 17 star opened up about the “worrying” state of the entertainment industry in a profile for Vanity Fair where he admitted to having doubts about the originality of filmmaking over the past two years.

“The last few years for the film industry, starting with Covid and then the strikes, everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly,” Pattinson said. “I was literally almost turned off. It actually started to get a little worrying.”

Pattinson explained that films felt “very studio” and left “every actor for two years saying, ‘What is happening? Nothing’s cool.’” However, he acknowledged that over “the last few months” there’s been a “flurry of very ambitious movies” that have sparked a renewed interest in the industry.

Robert Pattinson is revealing that he was questioning his career for two years after a lack of “cool” scripts.

The “Mickey 17” star told Vanity Fair that between the pandemic and the SAG strikes, he was starting to wonder if cinema really was dying.

“It’s strange because the last few years for the film industry, starting with Covid and then the strikes, everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly. I was literally almost turned off,” Pattinson said of acting. “It actually started to get a little worrying.”

He continued, “Then looking in the last few months, there’s this flurry of very ambitious movies. I feel like the stuff that’s going to get nominated for Oscars this year is going to be really interesting, and it seems like there’s suddenly a new batch of directors who the audience is excited about as well.”

Tricia Tuttle, the new head of the Berlin International Film Festival, could have hoped for an easier start.

Tuttle, who was head of the BFI London Film Festival from 2018 to 2023, takes over the Berlinale (the world’s largest public film festival) after an Annus horribilis.

Last year’s event ended in chaos, with a furious political debate about the war in Gaza overshadowing any discussion of the movies. To make matters worse, Berlin saw its budget slashed, with cuts in government funding and a loss of major corporate sponsors coming up against rising costs due to inflation. At the same time, the expectations have only grown, with film fans and market attendees eager to see the Berlinale return to its past glory when it was counted alongside Cannes and Venice as one of the world’s top three film festivals.

Asked to do more with less, Tuttle has, impressively, pulled it off.

The Berlinale’s new director Tricia Tuttle unveiled her inaugural line-up on Tuesday under the scrutiny of press and industry who are waiting to see whether she can get the festival back on track after a tumultuous 2024 edition.

The 19-title competition mixes works by confirmed big names such as Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon, Michel Franco’s Dreams, Radu Jude’s Kontinental ’25, Hong Sangsoo’s What Does That Nature Say To You with second and third movies by rising names such as Léonor Serraille’s Ari and Gabriel Mascaro’s The Blue Trail.

Outside of the competition, Tuttle may have secured a starrier than usual red carpet with previously announced invitations to works including Justin Kurzel’s series The Narrow Road To The Deep North with Jacob Elordi, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, with Robert Pattinson, and fresh addition A Complete Unknown, with Timothée Chamalet, but she is keeping...

Robert Pattinson reflects on his thoughts about Hollywood in the post-covid era, and why he has hope for the future. The former Twilight actor has transformed his career over the last decade. This year, he plays the leading role in Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17, which is set for release on March 7. The movie will focus on Mickey, an "expendable" clone man who is sent on a perilous mission to colonize an ice planet. In addition to Pattinson, Mickey 17 cast features Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Steven Yeun.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Pattinson discusses his feelings about the state of cinema in the post-covid era. He said that he was "literally almost turned off" of cinema due to the worries that it was a dying art because of Covid and the strikes.

Ian Somerhalder got his breakthrough with Lost but he became a household name as the vampire Damon Salvatore in the horror romance drama The Vampire Diaries. The show saw him play a centuries-old vampire who gets stuck in a love triangle between his brother and a teenage girl named Elena, played by Nina Dobrev.

For eight seasons, Somerhalder was the heartthrob for a whole generation of fans. However, even he addressed one issue in the series that was borderline creepy. His startling confession and nonchalant way of talking about the issue is as hilarious as Robert Pattinson’s criticisms of the Twilight franchise.

Following weeks of rumor and speculation, we recently got word that Christopher Nolan's next movie will actually be an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, and the acclaimed filmmaker has assembled a very impressive cast of A-list talent, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron.

With The Batman 2 eying filming later this year, Robert Pattinson shares a new update about the DC sequel while also expanding on his experience with Batsuits. The Batman 2 news has been limited since the reveal that the film is being pushed back to 2027, leaving the creative team more time to perfect the next installment. As Matt Reeves is still working on the script for the highly anticipated sequel, there has been consistent curiosity about how much information the returning actors have regarding The Batman 2.

In a new interview with Esquire, Pattinson spoke briefly about his ongoing journey with Batman, including his experience when he had to audition for the lead role in Reeves' first movie. Pattinson also gave a new update about The Batman 2, as he stated the following:

Tom Holland was confirmed for a role in Christopher Nolan’s next collaboration with Universal Pictures in October. It was revealed in December that Nolan’s film would be an adaptation of Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey. While things were going smoothly for the film, a recent report that Holland would be the lead has sparked fan outrage.

As the lead, it is assumed Holland would take on the role of Odysseus, who fans believe is a much older character for the actor. Fans initially guessed that Holland would likely play Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. They expected the role of Odysseus to go to Matt Damon, who is collaborating with Nolan for the third time.

Did Kristen Stewart Consider Tying The Knot With Robert Pattinson? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Remember when Kristen Stewart hit us with a hefty dose of nostalgia during her chat with Howard Stern? When questions about her ex-flame Robert Pattinson came up, the actress dropped a bombshell: she might have said yes if he’d proposed. “I don’t know, I wanted to… yeah, no,” she admitted when Stern asked if she ever thought about marrying Pattinson.

Stern pressed her, “If he proposed, you would’ve gotten married?” Stewart didn’t flinch. “Yeah,” she said. “Every relationship I’ve ever been in, I thought that was it,” she confessed, adding, “I’ve never really been the most casual person.” She’s all-in when she’s in, no halfway measures.

And those Twilight sparks? Oh, they were real. Stewart couldn’t help but fall for Pattinson while filming the iconic saga. “There was nothing I could do,...

Robert Pattinson recently opened up about an unusual aspect of playing Batman: the scent of the cowl. The actor, known for his roles in The Twilight Saga and The Batman, shared his unique experience trying on the masks worn by previous actors who played Bruce Wayne.

Pattinson described the cowl’s smell as a mix of leather and emotion, explaining, “You’re sealed in a leather mask, but you’re also extremely anxious all the time. And leather is porous, so it really takes on an emotional scent.”

During his audition, he had to try on various cowls from the franchise’s history, some dating back 20 years. Interestingly, Pattinson noted they all carried the lingering scents of their former wearers. When asked which actor’s cowl smelled the best, he responded with a smile, “I think probably Clooney smelt the best.”

As for updates on The Batman Part II,...

Robert Pattinson is opening up about his daughter!

The 38-year-old actor and fiancée Suki Waterhouse welcomed their first child nearly ago, a baby girl.

Throughout the past year, the couple has remained fairly mum on their little one, and last month, Robert made some rare comments about his daughter.

In a new interview, the Mickey 17 star dished on her distinct smell.

Keep reading to find out more…

“I remember people used to be like ‘oh, don’t you like the smell of babies, but I thought they were just smelling the baby powder,” he told Vogue with a laugh. “But then I had a baby, and I was like ‘my baby smells incredible.’ There’s something there, I can identify her. She doesn’t smell like other babies.”

This week, Robert was in attendance at a press conference in South Korea for his upcoming movie Mickey 17, alongside director Bong Joon Ho.

Robert Pattinson‘s career has been so impressive and varied that he’s been been described by some as one of Hollywood’s great movie stars of the modern generation.

He’s showcased his creative range in a variety of projects, ranging from mega-popular teen franchises to dramas and superhero movies. However, like any actor, he hasn’t booked every single role he has auditioned for.

Before joining the cast of the Twilight franchise as Edward Cullen, Robert had already been making a name for himself with appearances in projects like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

His portrayal of the glittering vampire turned him into a household name, and he’s become even more popular in Hollywood since.

Of course, he’s played multiple iconic roles, including a turn as Batman. But Robert also auditioned for some parts that he did not end up getting. Some of those were in serious blockbusters.

Much has been said about what's happening with The Batman sequel, including the possibility of Robert Pattinson joining the Dcu as its Dark Knight.

The actor is keeping busy while he waits for Matt Reeves to finish the movie's script and has been announced as the new face of a new Dior Homme Parfum. Talking to Esquire about that, Pattinson was asked whether there are "scents" he associates with the characters he's played.

"Definitely the scent of the cowl, with Batman – very much," he started. "Well, it’s leather. But it’s also a combination – because you’re sealed in a leather mask, but you're also extremely anxious all the time. And leather is porous, so it really takes on an emotional scent."

"When I did the audition for Batman I had to try on all the different cowls [from actors who’d played the role]. Even from 20 years ago, they all still had the scent of each individual actor.

Several talented actors have played Batman over the decades, and each had their own take on the masked vigilante of Gotham. Fans of the caped crusader would be more than eager to know a behind-the-scene tidbit involving actors who’ve donned the suit before, i.e., Robert Pattinson and George Clooney.
