From if.com (Australia):
Producer Liz Watts is calling David Michod’s new film The Rover “a dirty and dangerous near-future western set in the Australian desert”.
She confirmed what the Internet is buzzing about: that Guy Pearce and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson are in discussions to play, respectively, a man in pursuit of the people who stole his car and the brother of one of the thieves in Michod's follow-up to Animal Kingdom.
Reluctantly, Watts also added a few more details: it is hoped that The Rover will go into production late in the year and discussions about the project started 18 months ago between Michod and US producer David Linde.
Last year Linde opened the production and financing outfit Lava Bear Films with backing from Reliance Entertainment. At the time the company announced it had a first-look deal with Universal Pictures for the US and other significant international territories. Linde was, at one time, co-chair of Universal.
Linde is producing with Watts of Porchlight Films and Lava Bear president Tory Metzger will also be prominent in the credits.
Watts said that Libby Sharpe will act as line producer and the intention was to claim the producer offset.
Michod wrote the script based on an idea dreamt up by he and Joel Edgerton, one of Michod’s six partners in the Sydney-based film collective Blue-Tongue Films.

More movie news for Robert Pattinson. This guy's career is
white hot and not a day goes by when we're not announcing the actor has landed
a new job. According to Deadline, Robert is set to star in "The
Rover," which will follow a man who chases a gang who stole his car in the
Australian outback. The movie is set in the near future, and Rob will play
Reynolds, brother of one of the gang members, who is left behind following a
bad police run-in. Acting veteran Guy Pearce will be playing opposite R-Pattz
in the role of the man who's car was stolen. As I mentioned, this is just the
latest casting announcement for Rob -- just yesterday we brought you word that
he's set to star in a psychological thriller titled "Mission:
Blacklist," and coming soon you'll be able to see him in
"Cosmopolis" and "Bel Ami," so lots coming down the
pipeline for the actor. What do you think about the diversity of his choices --
would you like to see his try his hand at comedy soon? Let us know by hitting
