Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire was promoting his film, Punk, and spoke to Agentinnen.Net about the film as well as details on Mission: Blacklist and Rob. This is the first interview we're getting of the director speaking at length about Rob and filming in Iraq. It's pretty awesome what he has to say. I highlighted some of it:
- "He has a good personality."
- "That's why he's so famous...why you like him...he's so unique and I'm very interested in working with this guy."
- "I saw Cosmopolis...I think he did a great performance. He was amazing in that film. Very different from his real life at the same time you believed this character, I mean he's amazing."
- "My character in Mission: Blacklist is a tough character because it's not at all what we can imagine from Robert Pattinson or what we know with this guy. It's going to be very interesting. I'm sure it's going to be great because he's really intense."
- "I know he's a great actor...I'm really excited to be working with him on this film."
- "We're going to do the set in Iraq. We're going to work with Eric Maddox. It's going to be interesting."
- He's going to work with professional Iraqi actors.
- "To do a good movie, you need to take risks and try to find different ways to do films. Not doing it the same way as everyone is doing it. We have to try and change. Try to imagine some different stuff and different way of working with the actors and shooting the film."
- "Going to Iraq for me is really important because it's going to be so different from shooting there as to shooting in LA in a studio, for example, even for the actors, being there and understanding how it was and meeting the Iraqis. You need to understand the structure and everything. It's part of the process."
- At 24:00, he starts to talk again about his pre-production experience with Mission: Blacklist and the prep work - 5 weeks in Iraq, sleeping in Saddam Hussein's palace etc.
- At 26:00 next project is Mission: Blacklist filming next year (we know it's scheduled for summer 2013)
