I read an article this weekend about this year’s Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival) and how weak-sauce it is. The Berlinale used to be a great showcase for Oscar contenders or the Oscar-hopefuls for the next year. But this year and last year, those kinds of films just haven’t been showing up, or the organizers chose not to showcase those films, or something. So it’s interesting to me that The Lost City of Z is premiering there. The Lost City of Z took years to go into production, and there were more cast shakeups than typical. Robert Pattinson and Charlie Hunnam basically had to go MIA for eight months to make the film in South America. Rob grew a sadness beard and lost a lot of weight. Charlie was a douche to his girlfriend. And now they’re trying to convince people (??) that The Lost City of Z could be an Oscar contender next year.
These are pics from the photocall today at the Berlinale. I don’t normally care about men’s fashion, but look at what Sparkles is wearing!!!!! HILARIOUS. I mean, I actually think Sparkles is a good model, in that he’s tall and thin and has cheekbones for days, but maybe this was not the moment to try out this Dior Homme cropped cardigan?? Sparkles has been the face of Dior Homme for several years now, and while the contract is lucrative, I’m still not sure he’s getting the best stuff from the Dior lines. I am glad that Sparkles looks like he’s gained some weight back though – his face was looking gaunt for the better part of a year. Now he’s back to being pretty. Charlie Hunnam is wearing Prada, and man… he can really wear the sh-t out a suit, can’t he? Sienna Miller was there too, wearing a pantsuit that even Hillary Clinton would reject for being an eyesore.
What else? As far as I know, Sparkles and FKA Twigs are still together. Charlie Hunnam is still with his girlfriend Morgana too. And Sienna… who knows? I kind of think she was banging Ben Affleck at one point, but I have no idea.
The Guardian seems to think The Lost City of Z is okay, but I’m waiting to see some other reviews from Berlin. Here’s the trailer which debuted a few weeks back:

LOL @ Robert’s outfit.
Yeah, the sweater looks like he pulled it out of a kindergarten class’s lost and found. I can’t stop looking at it though so maybe that is a win???
It’s a win, because out of the three his is the one to bring smile and make people talk.
When I saw it I thought FKA Twigs helpeg him to choose it
I’m glad that as far as we know he’s happier these days – the insanity of Twilight would have driven lesser people genuinely insane, and it’s a testament to him and Kristen Stewart that both have emerged with careers, septums and sanity seemingly all present and correct – so I feel mean making fun of what he’s wearing. But… he’s paid for this, so it’s part of his job. And he’s experimenting unsuccessfully.
I do wonder if he’s affected by Twigs and her look, because she’s very individual with her style, and in the red carpet images there’s a certain echo, somehow. But she owns it, I think. She looks incredible most of the time. He does not – in these images, at least.
What does it have to do with twigs? It’s Dior, he’s been with them for ages, long before twigs. He’s trying their new stuff, and thus jumper is one of the less avant-garde… did you see their latest collections? Floral prints, glitter, neon…
Well, Hunnam looks good : )
Pattinson looks good, too. He looks like he walked right off the Dior runway, and there’s nothing wrong with that. This commentary sounds like it was written by a 68 year old woman from her basement, where she hasn’t been keeping up with fashion for the past 30 years.
He’s a trendsetter, not a follower. As for waiting for Berlin reviews, they’re just as good if not better than the reviews the film and Pattinson got when the movie premiered at the NYFF last October. It’s a smash hit with the critics, they can’t get enough of it.
He’s still engaged to Twigs, maintaining a stable relationship for over 2 years, has a career any actor his age would be proud of, stays out of the tabloids and does praiseworthy work–it’s all good in RPatzland.
OMG – you nailed every argument! Everything you said x 10.
It’s funny when all they have to pick on is a sweater he wore to a photo call. Fashion changes, and Rob is on the leading edge. We all remember when bell bottoms and long sideburns were in, now they look stupid.
A year from now, guys will be wearing cropped sweaters and everyone will be ooohing and aaaahing over them. He gives them nothing to work with regarding his engagement to Twigs, they’re famous for being so low key. His career as a serious actor has been on track for years. He keeps doing quality work and getting good reviews, working with the directors he wants to work with.
He’s always been unconventional, and people still try to shove him into the standard Hollywood stereotype. He will never be that, and it’s sad that they don’t see it. He doesn’t want to be Ben Affleck or Matt Damon. He’s been the face of a franchise, he didn’t like it. If he could just shake the bitter fans of his ex, everything would be perfect.
Wow someone really likes that sweater
Yeah, I’m glued to Hunnam here. Who tf is looking at Rob?
I really like Sparkles but oh my, that whole look is a giant no. It’s like he came straight from filming a ridiculous cameo in Zoolander 3.
I am looking forward to this film though. Looks beautiful.
OMG he totally looks like he is in Zoolander3
Wtf is Rob doing? I’ve always had a bit of a crush on him, but this is making my lady boner shrivel up. Also, I’m kind of feeling Sienna’s outfit.
Same, re: Robert! Is it just me or is something off with his face? I can’t quite put my finger on it. His jawline looks heavy? Maybe it’s the turtleneck. Or is it his hair that’s throwing me off? Whatever it is, it’s really killing my lady boner too.
Maybe it’s a combination of the turtleneck is pushing up on his neck (making the jawline look heavier than it is) add the tightly cropped hair on the sides that further accentuates the jawline.
Yup…… I’d still go there with Robert .
Me too… at least, he made an effort to look interesting
sienna is beautiful
Does anyone remember Mike Myers SNL’s sketch Sprockets? Remember Dieter?
Look at Sparkles? You see it right?!? 😂
Dear God these are terrible photos! Hunnam’s suit is OK I guess but I’ll just remember this movie as confirming he’s a bit of a douche and soooo “method”. 🙄
^^^I could hear the voice in my head the moment I opened this post. Bahahaha
That’s a stupid way to wear a cardigan, Rob ^^
“wearing a pantsuit that even Hillary Clinton would reject for being an eyesore.”
Best.
+1!
yes it is a shame as she looks lovely.
Sparkles dior will never be compared to hunnam and eva green armani campaign, if you can google their gorgeousness on the net.
the film looks magnificient but too tarzan-white saviorish to me so i m not there for this kind of mess in 2017
The film is the opposite of “white saviorish,” so you don’t know what you’re missing. None of the people involved with the film would have done it if it was messy. It also wouldn’t be getting the best reviews of any film at the festival, and it is.
i really hope you re right.
the adventures in remote parts of the world films genre is full of it,i dread every trailer .
Wasn’t Cumberbatch supposed to be in this film? Checking IMDB he’s not? What happened?
Also, this Pattison’s outfit reminds me on 9gag memes that post pics from men’s fashion runway shows with giant “nope” written besides them.
we need someone to find the former”cast”.if it flops we will know who dodged a bullet ,if it succeeds it will be a glorious mess à la “la la land”
It isn’t going to flop, it’s already a critical success. Cumberbatch didn’t drop out because of a conflict, he dropped out because his wife got pregnant and he wanted to spend time with her and the baby. Brad aged out of the role and was busy with other projects. He still produced the film.
Box office isn’t really a factor in the case of an art film like this. The budget was under $30 million, and it will make that back with the streaming rights, etc., no matter what the BO gross is.
What happened? Doctor Strange. Scheduling conflict and he had to choose.
Box office wise this likely won’t gross Strange’s opening weekend in its whole run, so unless Z goes up for Oscars (it won’t, April release) Cumberbatch made the right call.
First person attached though? Brad Pitt. Sliding doors huh?
mature women can only dream of being first cast. funny they ve done it with a younger lead.
Seeing this look from ✨Sparkles✨ Immediately brought to mind Beaker from The Muppet Show. Why Rob, why?
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/8/8c/Beaker.png/revision/latest?cb=20130720091555
Beaker! Omg yes
Always nice to see Rob after some time. That being said, WHAT IS THAAAAAT. It only needed to be longer and unzippered. You had one job, Rob’s stylist.
Nice to see Rob after all that time. I really like him with fka twigs, they’re cure together.
As for Charlie he’s in my top 5, I have a soft spot for English blokes, what can I say, especially Charlie, Zayn and Idris. Not far behind Tom Hardy, Dev Patel and Riz Ahmed.
suzie what has this got to with FKA twigs she is not even with him and by the way he looks he needs to get some help with his fair and his clothes because he is looking a little rough. Trust me I am a big fan of Robert Pattinson. But he is looking rough since he has been running with twigs and I agree with a lot of his fans. She is not the best for him. At least he was dressed very classy when he did his premieres of the twilight saga with the gang that he hung around then. He still has not mentioned her as his fiancé and like this example she is not with him and now his best friend is broke up from his god child’s mother sienna miller.
GUEST…calm TF down LOLOL
Rob is still with FKA and he seems happier…DONT fight me on this …lol
tho he looks ridic
Oh GOD. Cedric Diggory would never wear this.
I feel like whenever we see someone who’s got a Dior contract, we always say, “It seems like X person is not getting the best of the Dior line.” I think, at this point, it might just be that Dior is a little bit fug? Don’t kill me plz
i agree with you.
woman line is a mess and some people say dior has taken the lesser half of the valentino team.
i don’t like galliano but he knew how to a dress.and hedi slimane was the best at ior homme.
Agreed @Shambles! Dior is fug, for men and women. Except rhianna she makes everything, even Dior, look great.
I don’t think they go to Berlinale to convince their movie is Oscar worthy, Lost City is being released in March/April depending on the country, that’s why they brought it to Berlin as a part of European promo. And it has 88% on tomatoes after two festivals, pretty good, everyone of the cast needs a good movie in his/her resume, I wish all of them good luck.
i hope it will propells hunnam in A list.King arthur looks a real mess,guy ritchie should stop giving the sherlock treatment to all his period or historically far film.
Charlie really needs this one to be good to counteract the mess that King Arthur is gonna be… he needs to work more with auteurs. On the other hand – Rob is working with auteurs now, but his work is going mostly under radar.
I have a fascination with movie release dates and this one strikes me as odd. The reviews are quite good but with when it’s being released and how, it’s not going to do anything for anyone.
It’s only getting a limited release in North America, far from awards season, one week after a Fast and Furious movie, and then two weeks later Guardians of the Galaxy with suck all the oxygen out of the box office. It’s not quite a dumping, but really? For an adventure movie? That’s the best date you had? And limited release with no real chance of expansion? This is barely going to register! The only worse date I recall was releasing Assassins Creed and Passengers a week after Rogue One.
Oh and King Arthur is going to be a DISASTER. Yikes.
To Mia4S: I think they’re hoping for counterprogramming with the two blockbusters you mentioned. The movie is not Indiana Jones, it’s aimed at the older audience who pay attention to reviews, that’s why they’re doing festival circuit now. And James Gray has never been an Oscar darling, if this movie fails to get awards traction in the fall, it will be buried among the other Oscar hopefuls the way it happened with 20th Century women and Monster calls this awards season.
It’s not a limited release. It plays in NY and LA for a week and then goes wide. It’s counter-programming for people who don’t want to see a comic book franchise.
@j. :i hope you ‘re right otherwise it’s a first class funeral
@angela : i’m surprised about his really low profile.is his indie work good?when i reflect about the heartthobs of this generation,none has succeeded a Di caprio coup= keeping titanic stans for long steady A+ list career
Nem – I have been a Rob fan forever, so I am a bit biased, but YES, Rob’s work has been very well received since Twilight. He has really kept a low profile, but his performance reviews have all been very positive. Many of his recent reviews are noting that he is a very strong character actor. It seems he has deliberately chosen that path, instead of the traditional leading man roles. He is a pretty off-center guy, and his choices reflect that: girlfriend, movie projects, dress, etc., all out of the mainstream.
The reviews are pretty great. The Telegraph just called it “an instant classic”, and they’re usually not that easy to please.
Am I the only one who thinks Rob looks good? Especially in comparison with the other two who look too safe and conventional, if not straight up boring? It’s a photocall, not a premiere, Charlie’s look is too dapper… there’s a premiere later I’m sure Sparkles will be in a suit, but he was right to bring some fun and, and too boot, be warm in a cold Berlin?
He looks better in that sweater than the Dior model from the runway show. I like the turtleneck part, but the half size thing is weird. I think he can get whatever Dior he wants, and he chose this. He wore a weird half turtleneck pullover sweater to the NYFF too, so apparently he likes the look. I’ll always love Rob, even when he looks a little goofy. 🙂
This movie premiered at the NYFF last year. If they were going to mount an Oscar campaign it would have been last year. It’s getting great reviews though, I’m not sure why they didn’t attempt to get it in the Oscar mix.
I’m happy for Rob too. In his quest to be a character actor, this is a great role for him. I remember at the New York premiere last October, many of the journalists did not even realize that it was Rob in the role. He is truly able to disappear into it, which is quite a feat for the face of Twilight.
I think the sweater itself is okay, it would be much better over a different shirt. Charlie looks good, but overdressed for photo call/presser. Save it for the premiere!
The premiere images are out. He… does not improve on this look in them.
Why are sparkles and sienna’s tilted hips touching? Body language experts would say an attraction or past hook up… lol
The DailyMail article is stirring the pot on it – they deliberately posted those pics where Sienna looks adoringly at Sparkles (from the photocall and their dinner yesterday) while repeating she was dating his bff… quite low of them
i miss the so called carefree former messy sienna.she was a such glorious mess.
Nah – they’re old friends. Remember, her baby daddy is Tom Sturridge, who is a childhood BFF of Rob’s. I don’t see Rob breaking bro code there.
he won’t but she would
The Daily Mail always tries to make something out of nothing. Rob and Sienna have been friends for over 10 years. He was introduced to her by his model girlfriend, Nina, back when she used to model with Sienna. The whole Brit pack knew her back then. He’s not interested in hooking up with her, she’s more like a sister.
I saw someone else say they thought she was hooking up with Ben Affleck when they filmed their flop movie, but she’s been dating the director, Bennett Miller, who cast her in Foxcatcher a few years ago, when she was still with Tom.
Totally Sprockets!!!! That’s the first thing that came to mind.
What is going on with Robert’s face? Did he just have a root canal or something?
Charlie is so dreamy 😍
When you really love that outfit that doesn’t fit anymore.
Is Twigs picking his clothes?
if it can keep his bad racist stans away ,i won’t blame her
Is it wrong that I immediately also thought this, laughed, and thought, “oh, bless her?” I mean, if he were eccentric enough to make us believe he’d choose this on his own it might fly, but he looks like he’s been attacked by the costuming department of someone outfitting him for the role of an Ivy-league art school major in the early 2000s.
+10000 i think he s trolling us so hard.but if i was dior higher ups i would be pretty pissed
I want more Charlie so I hope this movie and King Arthur does well!
I wonder which one of these man candies, Sienna tried to get with? She likes em in relationships..and these 2 together in the Amazon away from everyone? She had to be on it like glue!
Sienna did not go to the jungle with them. All her scenes were filmed in Ireland.
I honestly, for like months, thought this film was the sequel to World War Z…and then I actually read the description…
I’m here for Rob and his quirky choices.
God me too! I love that Rob takes risks but look at his fashion before Twilight. He wore quirky crazy outfits to the Harry Potter premieres. I think during Twilight time he conformed for Summitt but his original style is quirky. I love that he is confident enough to be a bit different. You all will be talking after you see his red carpet outfit – wild and wooly!
Charlie is so very fine…….
Wtf happened Pattinson!
He looks terrible.
Good Lord- the man who was born to wear a suit is put in a crop top?? #Diorbdumb!! Still he looks good, and will be checking out this movie. I wish Rob would try his hand at a romantic lead once more, along the lines of Water for Elephants. I liked Charile in Crimson Peak, but King A looks so bad.
Could not be helped. All of their luggage was lost. All that could be grabbed at last minute was whatever was in the hotels lost and found box. 🙁
Rob always cracks me up. His FACES, gah. I´m looking forward to the movie, it looks cool.
I laughed. He looks ridiculous even more so standing next to Charlie Hunnam who looks great, imo. There is something about that first pic that made me laugh, I think its Charlie’s pursed lips and a look on his face as if he wants to flee.
Charlie looks the best I have seen him on a RC. That suit is fitting perfectly. And he looks sexy and handsome at the same time.
I’m looking forward to seeing this
In love with Patz weirdness.
He looks like the weird brother from Wedding Crashers… Hilarious!!!!
