Looking fitter and hunkier than he has in a long time, Robert Pattinson is no doubt hoping that his new movie Life will help jumpstart his movie career which has been somewhat in the doldrums of late. Wearing a hoodie, jeans and a white T-shirt as he got to work on the set, Rob also made sure he had a big cup of piping hot coffee to keep him going for his early start. While he wasn’t about to let a smile slip across his handsome face, he did in fact later do just that as he was in character filming scenes, hair slicked back 1950s style wearing a period suit. Of course, he’s got quite used to doing a lot of rushing around in his role as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga film franchise. It doesn’t appear as though Robert will be slowing down anytime soon if the latest pictures of him shooting scenes for upcoming drama movie Life are anything to go by as he was spotted charging around the snow-covered set in Toronto, Canada. The 27-year-old star was appears in the role as famed photographer Dennis Stock, who forms a friendship with Hollywood heartthrob James Dean, played by Dane DeHaan, after being assigned to take pictures of him on an assignment for Life Magazine in 1955.
In the pictures from the set Robert is seen rushing up to man holding a copy of the publication and then gleefully grabs it out of the guy’s hands. He looks incredibly excited as he thumbs through the pages of the publication, perhaps looking for some of his iconic photographs of the late movie star. As he flicks through the magazine, the character is clearly pleased with what he sees and also shares a laugh and a joke with his smartly-dressed pal. Robert’s alter-ego is clearly wrapped up warm in the cold Canadian city as he is seen wearing a long thick black coat over the top of a grey suit jacket and a pair of smart black trousers. The motion picture also stars Ben Kingsley, Kristen Hager and Alessandra Mastronardi, while Joel Edgerton has recently signed up for the project. The first official still from the film was recently released, featuring both Robert and Dane. In the shot, Robert is seen sitting in the front seat of a classic black car as he and Dane’s character prepare to make a road trip from Los Angeles to New York. The journey came ahead of Stock taking an image of Dean in the rain in Times Square that became iconic upon the actor’s death. The movie is set for release in 2015.
