The Rover Movie Trailer: Robert Pattinson is showing the world just how he is more than a glistening vampire! The actor is taking a stab at a Southern accent for The Rover movie.

The latest trailer for the star's new film was released today featuring R.Pattz getting into an intense conversation with his co-star Guy Pearce.

"Because I believe in God and Henry believes in God, and there's no harm Henry wants to see me come to and I believe in that," Pattinson's character, Rey (a naïve and injured gang member who was previously left for dead), said.

"I'll tell you what God's given you," Pearce's character, Eric, says. "He's put a bullet in you and he's abandoned you out here to me. He feels nothing for you. He couldn't give a f--k if you died tomorrow."

The Rover movie is set in the futuristic Australian outback. After a gang of criminals stole his sole possession, Eric (Pearce) goes on a mission to track his missing car down and enact justice. Along the way, he enlists the help of Rey (Pattinson).

Directed and co-written by David Michôd, the crime drama also stars actors Scoot McNairy, Anthony Hayes, Gillian Jones, Susan Prior, Nash Edgerton, David Field, Jamie Fallon and Samuel F. Lee.

The Rover has been chosen as an Official Selection at Cannes and will premiere at the film festival later this month. It hits theaters in New York City and L.A. June 13 and goes nationwide June 20.

"I met Rob once before I even knew I was going to film 'The Rover.' He is among the 400,000 people I met in Los Angeles when 'Animal Kingdom' came out there. (Laughing) I knew nothing about him, I hadn’t seen the Twilight movie – Still haven’t seen them, by the way. However, some of my friends had told me he was an interesting guy," director David Michod told Premiere magazine.

"I was impressed by his intelligence, his energy, but that day, I was especially struck by his face. I thought I was going to come face to face with one of those young trendy guys whose beauty is boring, but his mug is fascinating, totally unique. Then, when we began casting for the film, I saw a lot of actors, some very well-known, but Rob’s tests were magnificent and very moving. And what was important to me, he really wanted to do the film, you could see it.”
