High Life Set To Film In Cologne in April 2016 And More Updates

According to KFTV.com High Life is set to shoot in Cologne in April, 2016. Here's the article:
French director Claire Denis’ English-language feature debut, High Life, is set to shoot in Cologne in April.
The film stars Robert Pattinson and Mia Goth, and centres on a group of criminals who run into trouble in space having accepted a mission to be the guinea pigs in a human reproduction experiment.

High Life marks another first, as novelist Zadie Smith (White Teeth, On Beauty) makes her screenwriting debut, working alongside her writer husband Nick Laird and Denis. The producers are Laurence Clerc, Oliver Dungey, Christoph Friedel, Claudis Steffen and Olivier Théry-Lapiney.


And more updates about the movie: earlier this week Mia Goth and Patricia Arquette were announced as Rob's co-stars in the film and we got a few more details about the story. Here are the articles:

Mia Goth's casting announcement from Deadline

Mia Goth is set to star opposite Robert Pattinson in High Life, the English-language debut film from director Claire Denis. The movie is about a group of criminals who accept a mission in space to become the subjects of a human reproduction experiment. They find themselves in the most unimaginable situation after a storm of cosmic rays hit the ship.

Patricia Arquette's casting announcement from Screendaily

Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) has joined Robert Pattinson (Twilight) and Mia Goth (The Survivalist) in the cast of Claire Denis’ anticipated untitled sci-fi, written by UK novelist Zadie Smith (White Teeth) and Smith’s writer husband Nick Laird.


Denis’ English-language debut, due to shoot next year, is understood to follow a group of skilled criminals who, in a bid to escape their long sentences or capital punishment, accept a likely-fatal government space mission to find alternative energy sources.

The project, which ScreenDaily first reported in June, marks an intriguing change of direction for the White Material and Beau Travail writer-director.

The story is based on an original idea by Denis and her regular writing partner Jean-Pol Fargeau, and is due to go into production early next year.

Producers are Oliver Dungey (Miss Julie), Laurence Clerc and Olivier Thery Lapiney from Paris-based Alcatraz Films, and Claudia Steffen and Christoph Friedel of Pandora Filmproduktion in Cologne.

See? Here we go again with two differing story scenarios, reproduction experiments or new resources? Well at least they're still prison inmates, I hope by the time they're filming they have the plot straight, 'cause I want only success and the best scripts and film makers where Robert Pattinson is concerned so hopefully it will be great!

I think he will really enjoy working with this director whom he really admires. The script sounds exciting however which why they go. I think today is the last day for LCOZ. Rob can get a few days of R&R.

It always great how Rob is enlisting himself with all these great directors and actor/actresses to create not the norm movies. And ugh, you can always tell why the Mods close comment sections, as it is the case to the above postings. It's always there is some fighting banter among fans or unreliable sources or people
