Robert Pattinson, somehow, is quickly becoming one of the most exciting experimental actors in the game. That tradition looks to continue with Damsel, a screwball Western about a man, his tiny horse, and a marriage proposal that, well, doesn’t look like it goes according to plan at all.

As Samuel Alabaster (Robert Pattinson) travels across the American Frontier, on a journey to marry the love he has always looked for, Penelope (Mia Wasikowski), life becomes more and more dangerous.  Accompanied by his miniature horse, Butterscotch, and drunkard companion, Parson Henry (David Zellner), the lines between hero, villain and damsel in distress become more and more blurred in this comic reinvention of the classic western movie.

Pattinson infuses his cowboy idiot Samuel Alabaster with real heart and humor here, and there looks to be an impressive subversion on the whole “tracking down the love of your life” thing going on here (the title of this movie alone gives us that hint), since Mia Wasikowska‘s Penelope does not seem into the idea of marrying Samuel at all.

ROBERT PATTINSON (“Samuel”) recently received Best Actor nominations from both the Independent Spirit Awards and the Gotham awards for his role as “Constantine Nikas” in Josh and Benny Safdie’s Good Time. He previously starred in James Gray’s The Lost City of Z opposite Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Tom Holland. He also starred in Werner Herzog’s Queen of the Desert opposite Nicole Kidman.

MIA WASIKOWSKA (“Penelope”) gained international recognition as the title character in Tim Burton’s 2010 retelling of the Lewis Carrol novel, “Alice in Wonderland,” starring Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen and Alan Rickman, as well as in James Bobin’s sequel, “Alice Through the Looking Glass.”

Wasikowska made her debut to  US audiences as the tormented and suicidal teen “Sophie” in HBO’s series “In Treatment” in 2008.   In July 2010, Wasikowska co-starred in the Academy Award nominated film “The Kids Are All Right” with Annette Bening, Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo. In 2017, Wasikowska starred in “The Man with the Iron Heart,” a World War II thriller by director Cédric Jimenez. other credits include: Nicolas Pesce’s “Piercing” (2018), Guillermo Del Toro’s period thriller “Crimson Peak” (2015).

Damsel is directed by the Zellner Brothers, (David &  Nathan Zellner) the team behind Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter and is due out in theaters June, 2018.
