Filming Damsel with Robert Pattinson in UT

Nothing has been officially announced, but fans have figured out that Mia and Rob are filming a Western where a man who's looking for a fresh start pursues the woman of his dreams.

Production Weekly shows the movie, Damsel (as in Damsel in distress), directed by David Zellner, is set to film on July 12th, for 32 days. Cast of 5 with a lot of extras.

Rob and Mia have been seen in Park City several times, and a fan called the office where they do the local extra casting and got confirmation that they're in the film. They became friends when they filmed Maps to the Stars several years ago, and wanted to make Brimstone together, until Mia had to drop out and Rob had a conflict with another movie he already had a commitment to.

Salt Lake Tribune: “Damsel Productions will get $269,00 to $337,000 to film a Western, identified as ZB Pioneer Film, this summer in the Wasatch Mountains and Summit County. Driven by David and Nathan Zellner, this movie will have a cast of five, crew of 27 and 70 extras, whose 32 days of shooting will result in $1.35 million in spending.”

They picked up lunch together at Whole Foods, Park City:

Hope it's true. Wonder what kind of film it is. Sounds like they're keeping it under wraps, except for the release of Utah State incentive funding and people spotting them walking around - Whole Foods, no less. Thanks for the tip Curzon Street. Looking forward to finding out more.

It's true. There's no other reason for them to be in Park City right now. They're not on vacation  Plus, the extra casting office confirmed their involvement.

Rob was photographed at a dentist today, getting molds for silver crowns to be put on his teeth --- it's for the movie, not for his real life.

It's a 32-day shoot, it fits in his schedule because he doesn't have another film lined up that we know about until October. Not sure what Mia's been up to, but I keep catching Maps to the Stars on HBO late at night, and her performance never gets old. She's so good as Agathe.

She and Rob became very good friends on that shoot, and they share a friendship with Jamie Bell and Kate Mara. They were all photographed in NY going out to dinner right before the Met Gala in May (which they also all attended the next night). So this should be a fun and easy shoot for them, co-star wise. We don't want her to have another Shia LaBouf experience.

Yes, they really seem to like each other and I thought they were excellent together in "Maps" - good chemistry.

Filming began on 7/12, but just now sources like The Film Stage are saying that Mia is "in talks" to be in the movie. Oy vey!

You four-eyed psycho.

We'll just have to wait and see - hopefully not too much longer. Nothing on IMdb for now.

IMDb is now showing listing for "Damsel" (now filming) along with cast and crew. Great.

They finished shooting in Utah on Friday, and have moved to Oregon this week. Rob and Mia were spotted cafe there today.

This is a shot by one of the camera operators in Utah:
