'The Rover' Filming In Australia: What We Know So Far

When the news broke that Rob would be headed to Australia to film The Rover, we knew it would be slim pickings on the news front, thanks to the remote production locations including the Flinders Ranges.

So far we've been getting a steady stream of airport pics and fan photos out of Adelaide, as everything gets ready to go. Let's hope it remains that way!

Here is what we know so far:

According to E!, the shoot is only supposed to last about six weeks, but there are reports (1/2) shoot could be longer. We've heard filming is set to begin at the end of this month. While at Sundance Rob's costar Guy Pearce, told Variety he was headed to Australia for the project. There's also word of additional casting reportedly still going on. Singer/Actor Ash Gale broke the news on Facebook (via):

I Just scored a role working alongside Robert Pattinson in his new movie 'The Rover'. Crazy stuff!

Here's a bit more on him in a behind the scenes of one of his music videos. It sounds like Gale could be Rob's stand-in. Hopefully he can share more updates while he works on the film.

The Rover is the first of several projects Rob has lined up for 2013. Here's to a busy year full of promo appearances. 

Australians fans, we're counting on you to share any scoop you get from your part of the world ;)
