Sadly, Rob has dropped out of MISSION BLACKLIST.
The Wrap writes:
Code Entertainment is financing the film, which will recast the lead role of military interrogator Eric Maddox
Robert Pattinson has exited “Mission: Blacklist,” an indie thriller about the hunt for Saddam Hussein, due to scheduling issues, TheWrap has learned.
First announced in May 2012, Pattinson was attached to play military interrogator Eric Maddox, who spearheaded Hussein's capture.
With two films premiering at Cannes, Pattinson is coming off a very active period. He just wrapped Anton Corbijn's “Life” with Dane DeHaan and did not have sufficient time to prepare for his demanding role in “Mission: Blacklist,” an individual familiar with the situation told TheWrap.
The role of Maddox will now be recast, and the filmmakers hope to start production this fall.
So sorry to hear this. I really wanted it to happen, but with LIFE, THE ROVER, MTTS, and Cannes Film Festival, I guess he didn't have enough time to squeeze this in. Shame. :(
