Good Time
Released next week , Good Timeis a drama - thriller flick from The Safdie Brothers , with Robert Pattinson , Barkhad Abdi and Jennifer Jason Leigh amongst the leading cast . Pattinson stars as Constantine ‘ Connie ’ Nikas , a piece who jumps through hoops to attempt to get his brother Nick ( Ben Safdie ) out of slammer follow a bungled bank job , while trying to elude the authorisation himself . Having already picked up some huge critical plaudits , expectations are gamey .
However , the picture show has been hitting the headline for all the faulty reason this workweek , after Pattinson made an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Liveand seemed to claim he had been require to do a sex act on a dog while on the set of the movie . Speaking about a finicky scene he let on : “ There ’s a drug dealer who busts into the room , and I was sleeping with the Canis familiaris and basically giving the dog a hand job , ” before claiming that the managing director and dog ’s owner gave him permission to masturbate the bow-wow for real . luckily , he refuse , and he says they instead made a “ bastard violent rocket ” to use in the scene .

Since the interview strike the small screen , argument has irrupt up , with animal rights organization PETA come ahead and praising the actor for his refusal to “ plague ” the canine . The story vaunt up so much in fact , that Pattinson was hale to secrete a statement ( viaIndieWire ) , in which he lay claim he was joking about the integral affair .
“ The story I enjoin on Jimmy Kimmel last night seems to have gyrate out of control . What did n’t come across is that this was opine to be a joke . No one at all expected or put on that anything like that would happen on the Good Time set . We are all huge animal fan and would obviously never do anything to harm an animal . Everyone involved in Good Time are amazing professionals and have make out together to make a picture that I ’m extremely proud of . I feel embarrassed that in the moment , I was trying to make Jimmy laugh , only to make mental confusion and a false impression . ”
If the news report state by Pattinson was indeed only a joke , it seems unpaired that he went into such point and even cite the film director and the dog ’s handler , who was on the band , go into detail about how the dog ’s owner had given him bakshis onto how he would successfully be able to do the act .
For now , though , we have to take Pattinson at his word . Unless somebody else who was on the circle is unforced to speak out and bear out his story , we must take on that this was a case of a wicked jape blown out of proportion , no matter how much this may look like damage ascendancy . With the movie ’s release just next week , we guess this is a controversy that could mean it strike a hit in the box office , but the numbers will verbalize for themselves when the meter is right . Whichever direction this one move , we imagineGood Timeis a film that ’s going to have tongue waggle for the foreseeable futurity .
