Robert Pattinson and Safdie brothers talk to the Associated Press about Good Time

Robert Pattinson and Safdie brothers talk to the Associated Press about Good Time



From Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Good Time” is a story about one bad night gone worse. Robert Pattinson plays a small time Queens crook named Connie Nikas whose botched robbery and escape attempt lands his mentally handicapped brother in jail. And that’s just in the first few minutes. The film doesn’t come up for a breather for the next 90.

People have described “Good Time” as “‘Mean Streets’ on MDMA” and “‘After Hours’ on crack and meth” which might even be too tame to fully capture its kinetic pace. The filmmakers behind it, Josh and Benny Safdie, are two who the general public would be forgiven for not knowing. They are 30-something brothers whose last film, the punishing heroin drama “Heaven Knows What,” played in only 14 theaters.

So how did they get one of the biggest movie stars in the world to lead their next film? Pattinson called them.

The Associated Press sat down with Pattinson and the Safdies (Benny also plays Connie’s brother Nick in the film) to talk about “Good Time” and how a movie star was able to stay hidden in plain sight in New York — even on the subway at rush hour.

Remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity.
___

AP: It’s a crazy story how Robert became aware of you as filmmakers.

JOSH SAFDIE: It’s not that crazy, is it?

AP: He saw a promotional still from “Heaven Knows What” and decided he had to work with you?

JOSH SAFDIE: I guess it is kind of wild. Honestly I forget the stature of his stardom. To me it’s like a guy saw a picture and he was inspired by it and he reached out. It’s totally normal. But I guess when you look at it from afar it’s kind of crazy.

PATTINSON: I don’t know about the stature of my star, but I think the level of conviction was unusual for me at least. It was like I knew. And then we did the meeting and just agreed to do something. And then also for that to actually happen afterward is even more unusual. People say, “Oh let’s do something together” all the time.

JOSH SAFDIE: I warned you, I said, “Be careful, we are the type of people who when we want to do something we’ll just do it. We’ll figure out a way to do it.”

BENNY SAFDIE: The movie wouldn’t be here had he not reached out to us.

NEW: Robert Pattinson on choosing roles - "I just kind of do everything for myself"

Here's another interview with Rob and it looks like it might have come from Berlinale.



Associated Press (Berlin) via Robert Pattinson Talks About Fame, Photography in 'Life': The man relentlessly pursued by photographers is stepping into their shoes for his latest movie role.

British heartthrob Robert Pattinson plays photographer Dennis Stock in Anton Corbijn's "Life" - which follows the relationship between Stock and a young James Dean (played by Dane Dehaan) who is on the brink of superstardom.

The 29-year-old Pattinson talked to The Associated Press about the transition from celebrity to photographer and the onset of fame after his roles in the blockbuster "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" film series. "Life" comes out on Friday in the United Kingdom and Dec. 4 in the U.S.

Q: "You spend your life in front of the camera, how was it to be behind the camera?"

PATTINSON: "It is interesting to feel the power trip, especially when I was shooting the scene on the red carpet, when you are part of the massive throng of people, and not only are you part of the crowd and hidden but you have something you can hide your own face (with). You just see all the pressure is on someone else. It is kind of nice, you feel all secure in your little pack. It is very different."

Q: "Did it spark an interest in photography? Are you now a budding photographer or were you interested in photography before the film?"

PATTINSON: "I wasn't really interested in photography before. And then I started shooting on the same Leica that Dennis Stock had, I think it's the same one I'm using in the movie. I took about 20 rolls of film, and then got them all developed, and I was really into it before I saw the photos. I really thought that when someone tells you the fundamentals you think that it's all going to come out and be amazing. When they're not you like 'I don't understand why aren't they like genius photos?' I kind of lost interest afterwards."

Q: "What is interesting is Dean's journey ... he is on the brink of fame and he is considering the impact that fame is going to have on his life. Was there a moment like that with you?"

PATTINSON: "No. I guess Dean had, in the movie anyway, a very strong idea of how he wanted to be and what he felt it was going to be. Whereas I didn't have any idea like what was going on at all. The first period of getting famous was incredibly strange to me and really fun at the beginning because you didn't realise the consequences of anything. You could say or do whatever you wanted and it just didn't matter. I only really realised what being famous was about three years after I got famous, four years afterwards."

Q: "When you are choosing your roles, do you consider your fan base?

PATTINSON: "I don't think about it at all. I will go through periods where I will think 'Oh maybe I should do a commercial movie' and then I just think, someone gave me a really great piece of advice, someone from my agency weirdly, they said the only clients that are happy are the ones that just do what they want to do. ... So I just kind of do everything for myself."

Q: "If you could hang out with Dean for a day, what would you do?"

PATTINSON: "I would take a bunch of photos of him because then you would have a whole career, sell a bunch and license them out afterwards. I don't know, he's just a 23-year-old guy. He would probably be really annoying."

Attention, all filmmakers wanting to work with Robert Pattinson!
You should consider shooting your movie in a desolate faraway desert.

Twilight's most famous vampire tells me he loved filming his new drama The Rover (opening in theaters today in L.A. and NYC and nationwide on June 20) in the South Australian desert because he didn't have to worry too much about the pesky paparazzi.

"You don't have to be looking over your shoulder all the time," Pattinson said last night at the movie's L.A. premiere. "It was really really great."
"I like to do weird things in between takes to really get into it," he continued. "Normally I'd be hiding in a corner somewhere."

Despite the mostly paparazzi-free location, the 28-year-old Brit actor isn't looking to move there or to any similar area anytime soon. "I don't know if I could live there," said Pattinson, who also happens to say he's currently "homeless."

In The Rover, Pattison plays an injured young man who is enlisted by an ex-soldier (Guy Pearce) to help him find his stolen car. The David Michôd-directed film takes place in a post-Apocalyptic world in a location never identified in the movie. Pattinson uses a somewhat southern American accent for his character.

"I think it's Floridian," Pattinson said with a laugh. "But I hadn't really done proper hardcore dialect work on it. It wasn't from a specific place."

Many reviews have touted Pattinson's work in the movie as one of the best jobs he's done and goes a long way to prove his acting chops.

"He's really great in the movie, really vulnerable," Pearce said. "It's such a heartbreaking performance I think. It was a great choice of David's to cast Rob and I think also great for Rob."

Robert Pattinson Talks About The Future & More With Associated Press

Robert Pattinson Talks About The Future & More With Associated Press



This interview with Rob from Associated Press  is a great read with some fantastic quotes from Guy Pearce, David Cronenberg and David Michod.
This was me when I was finished reading it.

For the past year, Robert Pattinson has been trying to disappear. He says he's been actively avoiding having his photo taken, trying to erase a tabloid persona.

"I'm just trying to not be in stupid gossip magazines, basically, and I think the best way to do it is never be photographed ever," says Pattinson. "As I get older, I just get more and more and more self-conscious about getting photographed. I don't know why. I've done it too many times and now I feel like everyone can see through me."

Not being photographed isn't an option for Pattinson at the Cannes Film Festival: The annual Cote d'Azur extravaganza is famous for its walls of photographers and its rabid hunger for celebrity.

But Pattinson has unveiled a new, more mature image of himself at this year's Cannes. He stars in two of the festival's top films: David Michod's lean, dystopian thriller "The Rover" and, in competition, David Cronenberg's dark Hollywood satire "Maps to the Stars." In the latter, he plays a Los Angeles limo driver trying to break into the movie business.

In "The Rover," which opens in the United States on June 13, he gives arguably his best performance yet, playing a bloodied half-wit who travels across a near-future Australian Outback with a terse man bent on revenge (Guy Pearce). With a halting Southern accent, he's a mangy, wounded puppy dog of a man, loyal to his companion.

More than any film before, "The Rover" announces the 28-year-old former "Twilight" star as a talented actor of range, capable of disappearing into a complicated role.

"It's literally exactly what I wanted," Pattinson said of his Cannes, smiling atop the Palais des Festivals.

His performances have been eye-opening for many, including Pattinson's co-stars. "I wasn't aware of what he was capable of," says Pearce. "On the second day, I said to David, 'He's really (expletive) good, isn't he?'"

The new chapter for Pattinson really began with his first collaboration with Cronenberg in the 2012 stylish Don DeLillo adaptation "Cosmopolis." Since then, he says, he's been choosing parts solely by director.

"I sort of had a bit of a list," says Pattinson. "The things I'm going to do next I've said yes to them before I've even seen a script."

Along with Michod ("Animal Kingdom") and Cronenberg, Pattinson has shot movies with Werner Herzog and Anton Corbijn. He's lined up films with Harmony Korine ("Spring Breakers") and Olivier Assayas ("Carlos"). All are widely acclaimed filmmakers who mostly operate far from the mainstream.

"It takes so much of the responsibility off you," says Pattinson. "I don't like the idea of trying to make movies as, like, a vehicle. Also, I don't really know who my audience is. I don't know if I have an audience. Outside of 'Twilight,' I don't know."

"Playing the lead in 'Cosmopolis' was not at the time what he wanted to do," says Cronenberg. "I had to talk him into it. He was really looking forward to playing a smaller role in an ensemble piece. In a way, ('Maps') is kind of a perfect continuation of our relationship, which I really value."

Pattinson auditioned for Michod for "The Rover," though the screenplay's scant backstory made it difficult. Exposition is largely resisted on the characters and the nature of the "collapse" that destroyed Australian currency. Pattinson went in in character.

"But then I had to sort of ask a couple questions half in character at the beginning, like: 'Is he mentally handicapped? Before I completely make a fool out of myself?'" he recalled laughing.

"The second he started doing the character, I was getting excited," says Michod. "I was getting excited about the performance he would give, excited about the character as invented by him and excited by the prospect of taking a possibly very underestimated franchise star and letting him demonstrated what he's actually capable of."

Pattinson says relished playing a more physical part.

"I had done so many parts where I was super still — like the whole of 'Twilight,'" he says. "It's so restrictive. You do something where you have blood all over your face, you can't be expected to fit into any kind of mold."

Drafted into a global franchise at a young age, Pattinson has previously said he wasn't even sure if acting was meant for him. For one of the more famous people on the planet, he doesn't exude confidence or self-seriousness, but rather has a squinty, bemused manner and is quick to laugh at himself. Now, he acknowledges his confidence is growing.

"I'm very, very good at lower expectations," says Pattinson. "Lower expectations and over-deliver."

"It Was Scary To Say Yes To Something Which You Didn’t Know What It Was"- Robert Pattinson On "Cosmopolis"

Robert Pattinson Talks "Cosmopolis, "Twlight", new projects and being an actor with Associated Press



NEW YORK (AP) - Robert Pattinson was nearing the end of shooting the last “Twilight” film, concluding a chapter of his life that had picked him out of near obscurity and was preparing to spit him out … where exactly? “Twilight” had made him extravagantly famous, but his next steps were entirely uncertain.

“Out of the blue,” he says, came the script for “Cosmopolis” from David Cronenberg, the revered Canadian director of psychological thrillers (“Videodrome,” “Eastern Promises”) that often pursue the spirit through the body. Pattinson, having never met or spoken to Cronenberg, did a little research: He looked him up on Rotten Tomatoes “and it was like 98 percent approval,” he says.

“It was like: OK, that’s my next job,” says Pattinson.

Robert Pattinson Talks To The Associated Press About Robsession, What Makes Him Blush & What He Can't Live Without

NEW YORK—With his tousled, seemingly unwashed locks, and rumpled, just-rolled-out-of-bed undershirt and jeans, Robert Pattinson seems laid-back and carefree.
But the 23-year-old heartthrob, who attracts throngs of screaming fans wherever he goes, has a lot on his mind these days—not the least of which is what will happen when the "Robsession" ends. (Kate: As long as this blog is going it will not end, I can promise you that !)

"If it suddenly dies down and suddenly no one is interested ... yeah, it is worrying," he says. "It's scary to think that it all might just fundamentally stop after the 'Twilight' thing's finished." (Kate: Won't happen!!!)

That "Twilight thing" is the more than $1 billion movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series. Pattinson stars as Edward Cullen, the vegetarian vampire who falls in love with human Bella Swan.

Despite the success of the first two films, "Twilight" and "New Moon," Pattinson hopes to break away from the emo, teenage undead role with his latest project, "Remember Me." The drama stars Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin as twenty-somethings falling in love while coping with family tragedy. Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper co-star.

Pattinson, also an executive producer on the film, recently talked to The Associated Press about nude scenes, being idolized and what he fears most in life.
