Robert Pattinson Has Been Confirmed To Star In David Michod's The Rover, Set In The Australian Outback

What better way to head into Saturday night than knowing Robert Pattinson is headed to our sunny shores in the near future to film a movie. Our favourite vampire has been announced as a lead in David Michod’s The Rover — which also stars rising Aussie actor Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom) and fellow Australian Guy Pearce (Prometheus). Set in the Australian outback (road trip, anyone?), the plot surrounds a group of thieves who steal a car that contains something very important to its owner. The owner — played by Guy — pursues them, and ends up with an unlikely ally in one of the thieves — played by Rob. Fingers crossed he decides to stay in the country for the rest of his life. In other R-Pattz news, he has also been confirmed to star in Mission: Blacklist, about the army interrogator who led to the capture of Saddam Hussein.
