- Robert Pattinson Lines Up Interesting Future Projects
David Cronenberg's latest film, "Cosmopolis," is certainly a departure for Robert Pattinson, and the actor plans to continue that trend with his next few project, which include "The Rover" from "Animal Kingdom" director David Michôd, a modern combat film "Mission: Blacklist," and most recently, playing T.E. Lawrence in Werner Herzog's "Queen of the Desert."
When Pattinson sat down with MTV News' Josh Horowitz during "MTV First," he opened up about his future projects.
"It came out of nowhere," Pattinson said about Herzog's "Queen of the Desert." While he's taking up the mantle from Peter O'Toole, don't expect any direct comparisons. "I met [Herzog] ages ago, and then it suddenly came out. It's different; it's a really different Lawrence. It's a cool... I didn't really know that much."
Pattinson was largely unfamiliar with the story and even cinematic history of the iconic figure. "I hadn't even seen 'Lawrence of Arabia' when I met him," he said. "But literally, it was like one of those meetings... literally meeting him is exactly what you want meeting him to be. Suddenly, he has these stories about sucking snake venom."
Another upcoming project, "Mission: Blacklist," would take Pattinson into Iraq, where director Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire is currently scouting locations. "The director's there now," Pattinson said. "And I want to do it there. But, yeah, obviously it's quite difficult to shoot there, but I think it's a fascinating country. And the director's been sending me pictures of just the original, the actual palaces where the U.S. army was based and they're beautiful. They're stunning. They look like Kubrick sets and they're all just empty, just sitting there."
For now, it seems that "The Rover" with Guy Pearce will be next for Pattinson, followed by "Mission: Blacklist."

Переслать - 'Expendables 2,' 'ParaNorman,' And More: Double Feature Friday!
"The Expendables 2" & "Rambo: First Blood II," "Commando," and "Die Hard"
The new "Expendables" is too big to simply recommend one movie for a pairing. To prepare the right way, you're going to have to go back to the origin of the 80s action genre. The three icons at the center of this all-star have a number of great action movies to their names, but these three are the ones that made these men gods. An action marathon of epic proportions is the only way to do this team-up justice."ParaNorman" & "The Night of the Living Dead"
Critics are praising "ParaNorman" for its humor and reference for the zombie movies that it sends up. To prepare, go back to the original George A. Romero zombie movie, the one that started it all. The original "Night of the Living Dead" plays out much differently than you typical reanimated corpse movies of today. This is a quiet, unsettling horror movie that ends suddenly with a shocking, impactful social commentary."Sparkle" & "The Bodyguard"
During her lifetime, Whitney Houston starred in four feature films, the last of which, "Sparkles," comes out this week. Houston's first film, "The Bodyguard," is probably most notable for its hugely success soundtrack, but the movie itself is still a worthwhile trip back to where her acting career first started.What are you watching this weekend?

If one movie is never enough for you and you're looking for a flick to get you in the mood for this week's new release, Double Feature Friday is here to help. Every week we break down the new releases and pair them with older movies that you should catch before heading out to the theater. Or just skip the new movie and check out the classic we recommend.
Переслать - Franka Potente Says 'Copper' Is A Modern, Old-Timey Show
"Copper" might be the new BBC America show that takes place in the Five Points area of Manhattan in 1864, but if you ask star Franka Potente what she likes about the show, it's that it doesn't seem like a period drama.
Potente sat down with MTV News to talk about the upcoming premiere and what it was like to work in an elaborate set disguised at post-Civil War New York City.
At first, Potente was turned off by the concept of a period show, but the content of the show made it relatable and modern. "I guess I was always a little bit scared of period stuff. As an audience, if you see 1800s or something, it more often seems that the actors are carrying the weight of the time," she said. "It always has a Shakespearean tone to it. To me, that always feels very theatrical and very unrelatable. What I like about our show is that, yes, it is 1865, but it's very gritty and raw and kind of contemporary, if that makes any sense."
Part what made "Copper" so modern for Potente was her character, Eva, a local—let's say—business woman, who keeps the main character company. "My character, Eva, is the owner of a brothel. She's a pimp and a business woman," Potente said. "You could take her out of that time, and she would totally work today. It's very contemporary, so is the lead character Copper. He is a detective in that time, but he's going about it in the old ways, but he's also a very hunky, cute guy that gets into fights. I think that's what I liked. It is historic, but it doesn't feel historic."
A show set in 1864 does have its perks, however. For instance, you get to hang out on cool, old-timey sets for work. "It's pretty cool. I'm not going to lie. It kind of becomes normal after a while. You kind of just hoist the hoop skirt. There were three-legged dogs, and everyone looks dirty. All the sets were built in this humungous automobile factory, a little bit outside of Toronto, which you would never know what's inside if you just drove by," Potente said. "If I had a couple of days of and came back to work, it had completely grown. There would be more houses, and there would be a butcher. For example, my brother, expect for a running water bathroom or toilet, you could completely live in it. It had an upstairs, and it had light. The streets had cobble stone and dirt. Sometimes there would be pigs and dogs. It felt pretty real. For us, it makes our job super easy because we don't have to take care of acting certain things that we can't act. The period is there."
