I know some of you can't see the video but the article from MTV quoted the best parts of what Rob said:
"It's a really tough script," he told MTV News while promoting "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2." "I don't really know, I don't even know how to talk about it yet. It's one of the best I've read. It's one of my top five favorite scripts I've read since I started doing this. It's really nerve-racking."
Nerve-racking as "The Rover" is, it pales in comparison to the real-life dangers presented by "Mission: Blacklist," Pattinson's upcoming war movie based on the true story of Army interrogator Eric Maddox, who was involved in the capture of Saddam Hussein. The role requires Pattinson to film in Iraq, which understandably made his family members uncomfortable at first — but the actor thinks his loved ones are beginning to warm up to the idea.
"My parents seem to be coming around to it now," he said with a laugh. "That's strange. I don't know what happened."

I wonder if the cockroach Pappz will show up in Iraq to hound him. Probably no screaming fans there wanting pics either - .......hmmmmmmm Rob might actually LIKE Iraq and not come back. Just be safe baby!!!
I actually dont think he is be filming there like one or two months time...maybe only a few shots . I have faith that the production is going to take images from there and CGI afterwards... like cosmopolis. this is the safest and more intelligent way to do it. my opinion.
Oh man. I am being repetitive here but Robert is intelligent and soooooo handsome.
I will never get tired to say it.
I cannot wait to start 2013 and follow all the good things that are waiting to this man.
I'm happy that Rob is excited about his upcoming films, but it worries me about him filming in Iraq as well. I'll definately be doing alot of praying while he's over there.
Perhaps his parents have heard of and are relying on the saying that becomes a mantra to so many: G-d watches over children and fools.
yeah, he`s gorgeous) i`m looking forward to 2013 as well...i miss working Rob))))
I'm so happy for him. The upcoming projects sound really interesting and promising. We will have a chance to see him in a completely new light. Different characters, different stories and different movie genres. It's good to know we have something to look forward to and I love the fact some very talented people showed him enough respect by not typecasting him but offering him all these different roles. I hope he will enjoy this experience and won't let the haters to get him down. You can tell it pisses them off. They hoped and expected him to stay unemployed. It's funny all these haters used to say he's not good enough to play a lead and he should do supporting roles but he's too arrogant and full of himself to take a smaller role. Now he signed for some promising supporting roles (AND leading roles ) and they suddenly changed their tune and make fun of him because of it. It just proves how hypocritical they are. I think they are nervous some of these movies might turn out to be a success. After all, it wasn't so long ago they thought he was lying his future projects. Now he proved them wrong. Keep prove them wrong Rob, you know it hurt them when they are wrong.
LIKE IT?!! WHAT THE HELL IS THERE TO LIKE ABOUT LIVING LET ALONE FILMING IN THIS WAR TORN COUNTRY? BE SAFE BABY! MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.
JUST THE THOUGHT OF ROB BEING OVER THERE,WALKING ON THERE GROUNDS FREAK ME THE HELL OUT.
What haters? Rob has haters? I'm being facetious, but seriously I don't understand how anyone who is a fan of this sweet guy could stomach reading hateful comments about him that apparently are scattered around certain sites on the internet. Not only would it literally make me sick (I have to watch my blood pressure), but seriously depress me at the negativity, hate, and vicious vitriol that exists out there. I don't live in a bubble, but I don't need to be reminded of the creepy lunatics that find pleasure in tearing down someone...especially someone like Rob. I don't know how you do.
Can't they make one of the Hollywood sets look exactly like Iraq? Please... for the sake of my heart...
I am like you, I can't stand to go to Site that is so negative...what make people so full of hate... what is there to hate about this man? I just don't understand it. For that matter, what is there to hate about someone in a movie that you don't know. Or for that matter... what they say he's ugly! I'd like to see the face of these people who thinks that.
Exactly, it's just downright crazy in my book. Rob ugly? Really? Maybe those lunatics need to see him up close with glasses.
It makes me kinda frantic to hear of Rob going to Iraq. Is it really worth it?
Still worries me :/
Can this indie movie afford to film in Iraq? It just seems crazy to risk the cast's safety just to make it seem totally authentic. Hope something comes up and they don't go there.
"Nodding head."
papps in iraq? I son't think so :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hope you are having a nice start to your day Christine... best wishes L x
thank you very much.
Surely not all of Iraq is dangerous, maybe they will shoot in a secluded section of the country.. maybe?
Happy Birthday Christine!
aww thanks. you are so sweet:)
I am just having a glass of champagne to help you celebrate Cheers! ;D
great. thanks. but don't drink too much:)
Rob's not a child....so I guess he's a fool.
who me? WHAT!! perhaps if I drink the bottle you could beat me at tennis? ;-D awwww..... maybe I would let you win for your birthday...
Really?? I know you didn't just say that! Are you Rocknmovie or whatever? That's a very smart-ass remark to Solas who is among the most respected on this blog or anywhere for that matter. Maybe you meant it in jest but it was a bad joke and nobody's laughing. Anyway what you said is ridiculous b/c Rob IS their child. So who's a fool now?!
Chill. It's in jest but kinda true. Who in their right mind is gonna go to Iraq with the chaos in the middle east?
Well you should have said that. But Rob is no fool..a daring young man yes, all the more reason why his loving parents would pray for their son as Solas said.
I read where they intend to film inside Saddam's palace. The US military used it as their headquarters for a while.
Hopefully Rob won't have to be there for those shots and I was thinking maybe they'd duplicate it on a set. But then Rob
talked about the authenticity of shooting there and how exciting it would be and all I can say is it's a good thing he's
got so many who love him and are praying for him.
I like your comments, have a good birthday
Yeah, unfortunately he has haters too. Now I don't mean the people who provide some negative constructive criticism. I respect their opinion on his movies, acting or action as long as they remain being ethical. Sadly, that's not the case for many people. There are many haters if you read comments under the articles of various celebrity blogs and I know norstendrama has some haters too, which is sad considering the fact some of these women are old enough to be his mothers and should know better. Calling a man half of their age the vilest thing in HW, lapdog or damaged goods is one thing although it shows how fanatical some people can get with their hate towards a stranger. Laughing and comparing his face to people with Dawn syndrome patients is just downright wrong and disrespectful not only to him but also to the families that have children suffering from this syndrome. This says a lot about their own morals and character but wherever. But to assume that he's a pimp and sells his girlfriend to other men for money, this goes beyond gossiping and criticism. If you look up online defamation law, this is already a serious libel, no mater how many times they write "IMO" after their post. As EFF says, opinions can't be defamatory but merely labeling a statement as your "opinion" does not make it so. I know it can be depressing to read so much venom about someone you like but I don't think it should be ignored. Thousands people visit these blogs daily, so the comments have an impact. As a fan, I can do nothing about it besides stating my opinion and showing a disagreement but I think Rob should seek a help in court. There should be some limits.
Could be, at least in some matters, but on the other hand--no matter the age, one's child is always one's child. :-)
I prefer to be unaware of this sort of bullshit.....it's upsetting and I would rather not read about it.
Hannah I don't go to these sites at all either even though I have read some in the past and yes some people write vile things but they are all no-body's who don't count !! the people who do count are employing him :) Personally I really only come here :)
Same here, I specifically stay away from them - hate reading this sort of stuff. God, it upsets me.
I know but these people just do it for a reaction which they obviously get if no-one answered them they would get bored !!
I only come here too, although negativity can be found everywhere, even on this blog at times ;-)
Youre TOO right about that ;-)
People need to learn to ignore them, maybe they will go away, not holding my breath though !!
But they don't stay long !! plus there are only a couple at the moment that keep coming back we can handle them lol
I do ignore usually, absolutely the best thing to do, just pissed me off so much.
I know how you feel and it's difficult sometimes !!!
Happy Birthday lady!!
Welcome back Solas! And from one mother to another what you say is very true.
I've seen pics of the inside of his palace where the troops are stationed and let me tell you, get some Ikea furniture and then just GOLD LEAF EVERYTHING! Bam! Done. But for some reason I get the distinct feeling Rob WANTS to wear the flak vest and fly in on a Blackhawk. He's a bit of an eager masochist.
I agree. I don't go to any of those sites and stay here to talk about Rob and his career and future projects, the music he likes and the books he has read. I was a little taken aback just to read what had been commented above - so not what I expect to see on here!! I don't go elsewhere to find it and would prefer that others don't bring it here to tell us about it either.
Having read the book I can see the point of filming the outside of the palace and a few area scenes but after that I don't see why it shouldn't all be done in a studio. He very rarely leaves the inside of the palace. Surely the insurance companies would insist that as much be done green screen and in studios as possible.
thank you so much.
Hi--am not really back--just needed to comment on something, tried to remain safe for myself by not revealing much, and responded to replies to me. But am not intending to engage much.
But thanks for the welcome. :-)
Okay well its still nice to see you every now and then.
I think you are right on both counts.
I haven't read the book, but remember that lunatic director? He's determined to do it his way for artistic reasons but hopefully his plans will be debunked by insurance like you said, or whatever it takes to keep our Rob safe. That's what matters most... more than any movie
