Oh my goodness I love when Rob gets passionate. In this new (undubbed!) press junket video from Filmstarts out of Berlin to promote Cosmopolis, Rob and David Cronenberg discuss the film and more. It's a good interview and Rob starts to remind me of "TakeItBackRob" when he discusses where the motivation is for cinema that seems to only produce superheroes and franchises.
Highlights:
- Rob: The idea is the world is totally crazy. There's no way to be normal. That's one of the ideas in the movie and kind of what I believe in reality as well. The people that are the most normal are the most crazy.
- Rob mentions how contemporary Cosmopolis is but at the time he saw it as a character study. He wasn't really playing a banker.
- What YouTube video did Rob share in common with Paul Giamatti to influence their character?
- Rob: He's invented this version of English. He's so determined to be God.
- Rob talks about his views on the current state of cinema in America. Take It Back, Rob!
