Bientôt un Nouveau Projet pour Rob avec la Réalisatrice Française Houda Benyamina? "Une histoire d’amour lyrique et brûlante"
Il y a quelques mois, nous vous avions parlé ici de la réalisatrice Française Houda Benyamina ('Divines') qui souhaitait travailler avec Rob. Elle l'a maintenant rencontré et en raconte davantage sur son projet de film. Nous avons hâte de savoir si Rob travaillera avec elle. J'ai absolument adoré son film 'Divines'.
Via les Inrocks:
Houda Benyamina réfléchit à un film avec James Franco ou Robert Pattinson
(...) Houda Benyamina, encore inconnue des radars il y a huit mois,
n’était pas venue à Los Angeles pour assurer uniquement le service
après-vente de son film [Divines]. Désormais représentée par un agent américain,
elle a aussi commencé activement la préparation de son prochain
long-métrage, dont elle nous a confié les premiers détails. Il s’agira
d’un film en costumes, situé dans une période de guerre, et qui
racontera une histoire d’amour “lyrique et brûlante” entre une
française et un jeune américain. Afin d’incarner ce dernier, la
réalisatrice de 36 ans a déjà rencontré plusieurs acteurs, parmi
lesquels James Franco et Robert Pattinson, qui auraient manifesté leur
intérêt pour le projet. “Le casting avance mais on est encore à l’étape des rencontres, des discussions”, commente Houda Benyamina, qui dit vouloir rester fidèle à ses méthodes de tournage guérilla et intenses éprouvées sur Divines.
Ce n’est pas la première fois que les deux comédiens pressentis
expriment leur désir pour le cinéma français. James Franco publie
régulièrement des chroniques élogieuses sur les productions françaises
pour le site IndieWire (il avait qualifié Mustang
de “meilleur film de l’année 2015”), tandis que Robert Pattinson est
déjà impliqué dans deux projets attendus de longs-métrages français (High Life de Claire Denis, dont le tournage devrait débuter sauf imprévu au printemps prochain, et Idol’s Eyes d’Olivier Assayas, pour l’instant suspendu faute de financements). (...)

A few months ago we told you here
about the French director Houda Benyamina ('Divines') who wanted to
work with Rob. She now met him and tells more about her movie project.
Can't wait to know if Rob is going to work with her. I just loved her
movie 'Divines'.
Houda Benyanmina is thinking about doing a movie with James Franco or Robert Pattinson
(...) Houda Benyanmina, who was still unknown eight months ago, didn't come to
Los Angeles to promote her movie [Divines]. She has already started to work on her next movie, and she gave us the first
details. It will be a period movie, which will take place during a war
period and that will tell the "lyrical
and consuming" love story between a French girl and a young American.
The 36 years old director has already met several actors who could play
the young American, among them James Franco and Robert Pattinson, who
expressed their interest in the project. "We are working on the casting
but we are only at the meeting stage, the talking”, says Houda
Benyamina, who adds that she wants to stay faithful to her guerrilla and
intense filming methods as she used during Divines.
It's not the first time both actors expressed their interest for French cinema. (...) Robert Pattinson is already involved in
two French movie projects (‘High Life’ by Claire Denis, which filming is expected to start next Spring, and ‘Idol’s Eye’ by Olivier
Assayas, currently suspended due to financial issues). (...)

From The playlist:
You may not know the name Houda Benyamina, but you’re probably going to hear much more about her. The filmmaker made waves with her feature debut “Divines,” which won the Camera d’Or at Cannes, and was snapped up by none other than Netflix.
The movie is now streaming on the service, and Hollywood has taken
note, with the director landing an American agent, and it has allowed
her to meet with some name brand actors about her next movie.
According to Les InRocks, James Franco and Robert Pattinson
are among the actors that Benyamina has discussed her next project
with. The untitled film is apparently a love story and costume drama set
against the backdrop of war, but there’s no further details at the
moment. It all seems pretty early on, and casting still down the line,
but it speaks to the heat Benyamina has generated that she’s nabbing
this kind of attention from Hollywood types.
We’ll keep an ear to the ground for more details, but until then,
maybe spent some of Thanksgiving weekend catching up with “Divines” and
seeing what all the fuss is about.
