It was announced last year that Robert Pattinson had signed on to star in Good Time – Josh and Benny Safdie’s indie film about a bank robber named Connie trying to evade the police who are closing in on him.
The Safdie brothers’ Heaven Knows What, about a young heroin addict who finds love in the streets of New York, found critical success last year, and making them two of the hottest directors for young actors to work with.
The Safdies were expected to begin filming Good Time in New York City last fall but after a casting call for speaking roles was held in December, a Jan. 3 start date was announced.
Last month, the date was pushed again to Feb. 8 but so far there has been little evidence the movie is actually filming. There have been no extras casting calls posted, there are no crew postings for the movie, it isn’t listed on the NYC Mayor’s list of current projects and there have been no photos or sightings of the movie shooting, not even a No Parking sign spotted anywhere in the city.
We’ve even reached out to a few contacts we have in NYC and no one seems to have any info, yet.
The only evidence that filming might have actually started is a paparazzi pic of Rob with a perm (presumably for this role) taken on January 29 and a Tweet sent by one of the film’s directors in which he complains about being tired but, apparently, he is also a new dad so that can explain the exhaustion.
Our guess? Filming might have been pushed again, if only for a couple of weeks.
What do you think? Has anyone seen any concrete evidence of filming that we might have missed? Got any scoop about Good Time? Let us know in a comment below or email us at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
You’re out of the loop. The make up artist for the film did make up tests on Feb. 6th in NYC, and he was back on set again on the 12th. They are filming interiors but I’m not telling you where, it’s none of your business. The film is on schedule, there is no delay.
OK, thanks Tracy (aka Grim). BTW, can you also let us know what color boxers Rob is wearing today too?
Um… I didn’t write that, but nice try. Stay pressed, whoever you are. The entire fandom knows about Toby Sells and his posts on FB … And I’m not even the one that found the guy. Freak.
rumor is they are filming in Silvercup Studios in Long Island City. may be you can check it
thanks for the head’s up! If anyone else has leads, share them here so we can be on the look out for more filming/signs, etc.
The stalking squad couldn’t get info from the Safdies, so they’re soliciting the help from the tabloids to get to Rob Pattinson. Pathetic!
Someone commented on instagram last week that Rob had not been seen in 30 days. That person stated that he was in rehab. He has been looking so thin lately and sickly I would not be surprised.
What a ridiculous and, frankly, libelous statement. Just because they’re shooting in studio and you’ve got your panties in a bunch doesn’t mean you get to spread untrue rumors. Rob didn’t get his hair permed to go to rehab! What a laughable statement.
It has been a fair time 3/4 weeks since we saw Rob and his new hairstyle. For a person whos always been spotted even in the depths of South America. Maybe hes been resting?
They were filming on long island last week
Do you know where in Long Island?
I do hope we get some information on Rob Pattinson here soon. I would love to see him again.
‘Excited to announce a project we’ve been working on and very excited to make with the untamable Robert Pattinson,’ they wrote.
It would be nice to be able to see them filming.
