Clearly untroubled by the tribulations he suffered at the hands of Guy Pearce the last time two shared the screen in The Rover, Robert Pattinson is now attached to co-star in the actor’s latest film, **Brimstone{
Carice van Houten is also aboard the Western thriller, which boasts Mia Wasikowska in the lead as Liz, a young woman on the run from a difficult past who must flee a diabolical preacher (Pearce).
Martin Koolhoven wrote the script and is directing the film in May this year, with Pattinson set as an outlaw, while van Houten’s role has yet to be announced. "Wasikowska is a powerhouse performer,” says producer Tim Haslam. “Guy Peace plays a hunter who unleashes hell. Martin directs a highly emotional, gripping and unique story of a mesmerising woman who battles the vengeance of a zealot.”
Pattinson is at the Berlin Film Festival promoting his two most recent films, Werner Herzog’s **Queen Of The Desert **and Anton Corbijn’s Life. Van Houten, last seen in The Fifth Estate, has roles in Race and Incarnate and will be back on TV as twisted sorceress Melisandre when Game Of Thrones returns for its fifth season in April.
