The Film Stage did an interview with CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA director Olivier Assayas, and he hinted that Rob may be his next actor for a new project, titled "Hubris":
Before one reads the whole thing below, a look even further into the auteur’s future: while speaking to French newspaper Les Inrocks (via Robsessed and ThePlaylist), Assayas revealed that his following effort will be led by Robert Pattinson. This big catch results from, in the wake of his recent features, what the man himself calls “a relative notoriety, which sharpens the curiosity of some actors,” but that might not be all: it’s also less than two years after the actor attended a dinner party alongside the Sils Maria helmer and Abbas Kiarostami. (To say nothing of his friend, Johnny Flynn, becoming a regular Assayas collaborator.) If only that other auteur were to soon take interest…
It seems possible that Pattinson will headline Hubris, which we’d heard word of about a year back. Described as “an action-packed crime thriller set against the backdrop of organized crime in Chicago in the 1970s,” it, more specifically, is to document the trouble Chicago thief John Mendell found himself in after accidentally robbing the notorious Tony Accardo. The title was, as of that announcment, meant to begin shooting in mid-2014; if those plans have actually held up, we ought to hear plenty more in a short amount of time. Maybe once The Rover releases in a month, as this new poster will evidence.
This could be very exciting, considering Kristen worked with Assayas on COSM. surely, more news will come of this next project after 'Sils Maria' premieres next week at the Cannes Film Festival on May 20.
