Robert Pattinson is one of the most famous and popular actors of our time. The British actor currently lives in Australia and has been making occasional appearances in the country, filming the popular TVB Series “Bondi Breeze” and the upcoming feature-length movie “Wolverine”, which will be released next year.
The 53-year-old actor, who was born in London, studied English Literature at Oxford and has been acting since he was 17 years old. He’s won multiple awards for his acting work, including an Academy Award for Best Actor. He has also been named one of the ‘Top 100 Movie Stars’ by Empire. The ‘Top 100′ featured an updated ranking of the most popular movie stars on the internet, taking into account views on social media channels. In 2016, he was ranked number six on the list.
Pattinson’s latest project is the upcoming feature-length movie “The Lost City of Z”, based on the bestselling book by H.W. Brands. The movie will be released in cinemas in Australia on October 12th, with other countries getting the chance to see it later this year. The plot synopsis for the movie reveals that it is set in the ‘wilds of central Australia’ during the ‘gold rush’ of the 1880s. The city of Z is said to be located somewhere in the desert, and it was first mentioned in 1909 by an expedition leader named Frederick Lugard. He described it as a “great metropolis” that was comparable to the size of London at the time.
But what exactly is ‘The Lost City of Z’? The city is supposedly ‘lost’ because it was never properly ‘found’ by anyone, but it has long been a ‘phantom city’ of urban explorers and ghost hunters. The majority of the city’s infrastructure, such as housing and work buildings, are said to still stand, decaying and untouched since the 1880s. However, there are many mysteries that surround the city, such as: where did all the people go? Did they die from the heat or did their dreams of gold turn into dust? What was the secret of its existence? These are just some of the questions that “The Lost City of Z” will attempt to answer.
The mystery surrounding Z has enthralled audiences for years. In the 1990s, a TV series entitled “City of the Dead” was created by the BBC, delving into the mysteries of the lost city. More recently, in 2014, Google celebrated the 150th anniversary of the “Lost City of Z” by creating an app entitled “The Lost City of Z Project”, which utilizes location-based technology to bring the excitement of the gold rush to life. The app was designed to complement another similar app, “Hearts of Gold”, which allows users to explore the history of the ‘discovery’ of Australia. Users of “The Lost City of Z Project” can follow in the footsteps of the legendary Frederick Lugard and explore the sprawling metropolis that has haunted the imagination of so many for over a century.
Behind the Scenes of ‘The Lost City of Z’
While “The Lost City of Z” is being advertised as a horror movie, it is not actually considered to be such by those who have seen it. Horror movie fans will know that the majority of the movie’s horror elements are said to occur off-screen, with the audience only seeing very brief glimpses of violence.
The scenes of brutal violence that “The Lost City of Z” does show are said to be some of the most realistic and stomach-churning violence that has ever been committed to celluloid. To ensure that these scenes were as authentic as possible, the production company behind the movie, Village Roadshow, worked with renowned special effects company Rhythm & Hues to create a realistic-looking desert environment. A variety of practical effects were used to create the unique vision of a lost city that lives in the hearts of everyone who has seen it.
Why Aussie Artists Love Working In Film
Apart from being one of the most popular and recognizable faces in the world, Robert Pattinson is also one of the most in-demand actors working in film. The majority of the film industry’s top talent have jumped at the chance to work with him, with many citing his unique blend of ‘action’ and ‘ comedy’ as the main reason why he has been so successful as an actor.
While many high-profile filmstars choose to live in Los Angeles or New York City, many have chosen to settle in Australia, citing the city’s pleasant climate as a major drawcard. Australia is famous for its beautiful weather, with warm days and cool nights. Tourists regularly flock to the country to take part in the famous barbecues, which are considered one of the world’s greatest outdoor cooking festivals. Outdoor cooking is a huge cultural event in Australia, with many families taking days off work to come together and cook huge meals, which are often served cold in the summer and hot in the winter.
Film is a great way to break into the industry in Australia, with many struggling actors choosing to gain experience in the movie capital of the world. It is also a great way for anyone with an internet connection and a camera to show off their talents, with many amateur filmmakers gaining online fame after uploading their works to platforms like YouTube.
The Rise Of Social Media
The internet has undoubtedly changed the way we experience movies and television shows, with online platforms such as Twitter giving birth to ‘tweetstorms’ after major TV shows, as well as individual celebrities, get their own spin-off hashtags.
One of the most popular shows right now is “Birds of Prey”, the story of a group of women who band together to fight crime. The show centers around the relationship that forms between former Black Widow agent Barbara Kean and socialite/heiress/secret agent Daphne Milligan. The two female leads are considered to be among the most beautiful and charming women in Hollywood, with many fans comparing the show to “Sex and the City” and “Candy Crush”. The resemblance is not a coincidence, as “Birds of Prey” was actually inspired by an advertisement that aired during the Super Bowl in 2012. The clever ad was for a perfume called ‘Birds of Prey’ and featured the two famous faces, Barbara Kean and Daphne Milligan, as well as other famous women who wear the fragrance. The commercial prompted millions of fans to go online and discover the show, as well as the perfume.
The Future Of Film
The rise of social media has changed the game for TV and movie producers, with live video feeds and status updates offering up a new world of entertainment. While live video feeds may be a thing of the past, the ability to instantly access videos, photos and other media has increased the lifespan of this form of entertainment. While Facebook Live has provided people with a unique perspective into events as they happen, YouTube creators have capitalized on the platform’s popularity by documenting the entire production process of films and TV shows, from writing to photography to editing and beyond.
This is only the beginning, with creators looking for ways to engage with their fans through live chats, polls and other interactive features. While the ‘old’ way of doing things still has its place, it is important to remember that this is the future of entertainment, and it is one that we can all get extremely excited about.
