Robert Pattinson is no stranger to the limelight. With his striking good looks and undeniable talent, the 38 year old English actor has been a Hollywood fixture for years. But his journey to the top hasn’t always been smooth.
Known for his roles in Tenet, The Batman, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and The Lighthouse, Pattinson has made a name for himself as a versatile actor. However, even with two Empire Award nominations and eleven MTV Movie Awards under his belt, he’s had his share of missed opportunities.
But as fate would have it, Pattinson’s patience and persistence have finally paid off, and he’s about to work with one of Hollywood’s most legendary filmmakers—a dream he’s held onto for years.
The Dream That Almost Wasn’t: Missing Out on The Souvenir Part II
Back in 2019, Pattinson was poised to join Joanna Hogg’s romantic drama The Souvenir Part II. It was a project that held significant promise, not just because of the story but because it had the legendary Martin Scorsese attached as an executive producer. For any actor, the chance to work on a project with Scorsese, even indirectly, is a career-defining opportunity. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, Pattinson had to step away from the role. It was a tough pill to swallow, as working on The Souvenir Part II could have brought him closer to one of his idols, Scorsese.
For a time, it seemed like Pattinson had missed his chance to join the ranks of actors like Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, both of whom are famously known for their collaborations with Scorsese. It was a close call that could have changed the course of his career, leaving him with a sense of what might have been.

A New Opportunity: Die, My Love Brings Pattinson and Scorsese Together
But fate, as they say, works in mysterious ways. In 2024, Pattinson’s dream is finally coming true—he’s set to work on a new project that brings him into direct collaboration with Scorsese. The film, titled Die, My Love, is directed by Lynne Ramsay and will star Pattinson alongside the incredibly talented Jennifer Lawrence and LaKeith Stanfield.
What makes this project even more special is that Scorsese is producing the film. Die, My Love is based on Argentine author Ariana Harwicz’s novel of the same name, a dark and intense story about a mother battling psychosis in a remote rural area. Ramsay, known for her vivid, atmospheric storytelling, is the perfect director to bring this gripping tale to life. And with Scorsese in the producer’s chair, the movie is set to be a cinematic masterpiece.
The Excitement of Die, My Love

The movie is set to premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and expectations are sky-high.
Ramsay has already teased that Die, My Love will be a film worth watching. In a recent interview with Variety, she described the movie as a story about mental health and the breakdown of a marriage, but with a dark, humorous twist. “It’s really f*cking funny,” Ramsay said, giving fans a glimpse of the film’s unique tone.
Given Ramsay’s track record for creating films with a strong, atmospheric vibe, combined with Scorsese’s producing expertise, Die, My Love is shaping up to be a standout film of 2025. And for Pattinson, it’s not just another role—it’s a chance to work with a filmmaker he’s long admired, solidifying his place among the elite actors who have had the privilege of collaborating with Scorsese.
A Career-Defining Moment
As Pattinson steps into this new role, it’s clear that his career has come full circle. What started as a near-miss with The Souvenir Part II has transformed into an even bigger opportunity with Die, My Love. This project marks a significant milestone for Pattinson, not just because of the chance to work with Scorsese, but because it’s another bold choice in a career filled with them.
Pattinson’s journey from Twilight heartthrob to serious actor has been anything but predictable. He’s taken risks, faced setbacks, and now, he’s on the verge of what could be one of his most defining roles yet. With Die, My Love, Pattinson is not just making a movie—he’s making history.
