Safdie brothers talk about Robert Pattinson's professionalism, dedication and his transformative work in Good Time

Safdie brothers talk about Robert Pattinson's professionalism, dedication and his transformative work in Good Time

The Safdie brothers continue to bring the funny toilet story to Cannes but in their interview with Screen Daily, they had more to share about Rob and his work ethic. It's not news to us how Rob is about his roles or working with certain directors but it's always great to read these accolades from filmmakers. Rob is such a talent and an asset to the art of film. I'm glad those in the industry continue to recognize that.


Excerpt from Screen DailySafdie brothers: Robert Pattinson in 'Good Time' like De Niro in 'Taxi Driver':

How did you react to being selected for Official Competition?

Josh Safdie: In Robert Pattinson’s house in LA he has an incredible, expensive toilet. After sitting on it for 20 minutes I said to him ‘that’s the dream’. He says: ‘if we get into Cannes Competition, I will buy you that toilet’. Six hours before the [Cannes] announcement… Rob texts me a picture of the toilet. That’s how I found out!

How did the film come together?

JS: We were dead set on this other film which we’re now doing called Uncut Gems, and [our last film] Heaven Knows What was about to be released. Robert [Pattinson] saw a still for that and something spoke to him about that, the colours, the image itself, he became obsessed with getting in touch with us. Then he saw the trailer and said: ‘now I need to meet with you’. Then he saw the film and said explicitly ‘whatever you’re doing next, I want to be a part of it, even if it means doing the catering’.

He didn’t sit in the diamond district world very well [for Uncut Gems], I was honest with him about that, and there was another world we were mulling, and we said maybe can write something for you in Good Time.

What was it like to work with Robert Pattinson?

Benny Safdie: I have so much respect for how deep he went, the places he went, the people he met, just his level of commitment, 16 hours a day, he was willing to do whatever. It was cold, I was playing the brother in a wheelchair, and we said to him ‘we don’t need you for this shot’, but he would stay and push me around in the cold. He said: “I need that, to take it that far”. He went above and beyond.

JS: We bought Rob to a lot of active jails. He turned up in character in the hope that he inmates wouldn’t recognise him as a movie star. We pushed our start date on purpose in an effort to buy more prep time and I would say there was three to four months of character prep for him, which is a lot for a movie star in his career.

How would you describe his final performance?

JS: I wouldn’t even call it a performance. If you were to show the film to someone who has no idea who Robert Pattinson is, they would just assume that we found this guy. The only performances that I could liken what he did would be to an Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon or Tommy Lee Jones in The Executioner’s Song or Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. I’m mentioning icons of my filmic mind. This is what people will liken this to, it’s a transformation.

Personally for him he wanted to disappear. When he was fully in character, in costume, in make-up and when he knew his voice, he would just take a walk around the neighbourhood, simply because normally he can’t do that. He would walk into a pharmacy and buy a Coca Cola and no-one would say anything to him or look at him, or take a picture of him, and that’s how he knew he had the character down.

James Gray Talks About The "Wonderful Work" Robert Pattinson Does In 'The Lost City Of Z'

James Gray Talks About The "Wonderful Work" Robert Pattinson Does In 'The Lost City Of Z'

It's great to hear and read praise about Rob from directors and James Gray, like all the others Rob has worked with in the past, has nothing but praise for Rob.
Here's a snippet of his interview with LA Weekly where he talks about working with Rob.

image host

Robert Pattinson has done a lot of interesting work with directors like David Cronenberg, but I would never classify any of it as realist; what he does in a film like Cosmopolis is very arch. But in your film, he completely disappears into the part.

It’s an act of generosity, really. Rob has this ridiculous beard and it’s such great, self-effacing, wonderful work he’s doing. I love actors very much because they do things I could never do. Directors are all frustrated actors anyway, and it’s very exciting as a filmmaker to see an actor who really is that generous with you. It was a very happy shoot — as arduous as it was, brutal as it was.

Love hearing James talk about Rob and praising him. Makes me even more excited to see the movie.

This is a great interview with Brady Corbet for The Childhood of a Leader and the excerpts regarding Rob are even better!

Not only does he praise Rob's work ethic (which we know is top notch), he also fills us in on their upcoming collaborations and more!

Excerpt from Eye For Film:

Given that he feels so strongly about the mythology of fan culture, it's ironic that he has cast Pattinson in the film, as the actor has built up an ardent following in the years since the Twilight films, with a large number of fan sites dedicated to his work and even the internet-friendly abbreviation RPatz. Corbet says he was interesting in using certain expectations to his advantage.

"It’s really bizarre," says Corbet "There’s a couple of things. First of all, I’m not that connected to the notion of Rob as a celebrity, because I’ve known him for a long time and I didn’t discover him that way. The other thing is that I thought it would be really, really interesting to have this sort of Janet Leigh in Psycho effect, where you have someone who is a public figure and people have their eye on him, he’s interesting, he’s charismatic, he’s compelling, he’s handsome. And I thought, that it would really give weight to the first 20 minutes of the film. So I hired him for all of those reasons. I hired him because the role was written for a young man that was a bit younger than the female character, handsome and English, so I thought of him.

"Anyone who has spent any time with the guy will know that he’s super hard-working and he never complains. I was just talking to the Safdie brothers, who are directing a new film with him [Good Time], and Josh was like, ‘Dude, we were shooting 19 hour days and he didn’t fucking complain once.’ They were just amazed by his work ethic and so am I. I think he and I will work together for a long time."

Corbet isn't sure yet whether Pattinson will feature in his next film Vox Lux yet. "It's a big cast and it’s an ensemble piece and I have to work out what age everyone is in relationship to each other," he says, but the British star is working with Corbet's wife and collaborator Mona Fastvold on her upcoming film The Bleaching Yard.

ROBsessed's 30 Days for Rob's 30 Years: Robert Pattinson Is Awesome To Work With

ROBsessed's 30 Days for Rob's 30 Years: Robert Pattinson Is Awesome To Work With

Over the years there have been NUMEROUS posts here on Robsessed from people who have worked with Rob (from co-stars to directors & producers to photgraphers) all saying how awesome it has been working with him and just what an awesome guy he is in general.

When I went diving into the archives to put this compilation post together I got lost down the rabbit hole and loved looking back on all the wonderful things people had to say about him.
So take my advice and go make a cuppa and get comfortable before you start reading. You're going to be here for a while.

ENJOY!

“I love what Rob (Pattinson) did in Cosmopolis…on the outside he’s all ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’, but he’s very smart….I get along really well with all my leading men.

"Um, what is Rob really good at? He's good at a lot of things! I think he was really great as Eric Packer. And I think that was one thing that kind of surprised me, because I didn't really know him very well. And in real life he's very kind of... I mean, you heard him in the press conference: he's British and he's self-deprecating and he's much more self-conscious [than his character].
And then all of a sudden he put on his suit, and this American accent would come out, and he would be so sure of himself and so powerful! And direct! And it was amazing to me to see that transformation of going from himself into Eric Packer. And I think that there's few, few guys right now in the industry who can pull off that kind of powerful masculinity at such a young age."

"He was refreshingly normal,and perhaps shockingly deeply concerned about the development of his career"

Julianne Moore
“[Co-star Robert Pattinson] is one of those people whose affect is so dissimilar to who he is. He has this gorgeous face and he seems like he’s going to be very remote and very serious. But he’s not. He’s incredibly chatty, fun, and smart.”



“Robert’s looks belie who he is inside. He has this formidable, very beautiful face. He’s such a gorgeous guy. He looks like he would be remote, but the minute I met him, he was very chatty. He’s very funny. He’s knowledgeable about film. He loves acting, actors and movies.

“Robert talked the entire time. I have to say I was shocked because I didn’t expect it. I mean, he’s so friendly, truly delightful, smart and talented. I loved him right away!”"

David Michôd
"I immediately liked him." "Not just affable but available guy, obviously intelligent."

" He’s quite beautiful, but strange and very open. When I knew that The Rover was going to be the next movie and I started testing for it, Rob was at the top of my list for people I wanted to see. He came in and demonstrated to me immediately that he was a really interesting actor."

Around the 15:13 mark


“He has a really beguiling physical energy, clearly smart, and he was actively seeking out directors whose work he liked.” 

"We met, I appreciated him a lot and then, he did some screen tests for me, awesome tests, full of life, never forced or artificial and then it was done. And there's something very exciting to have the opportunity to show to the whole world that a star, who was understimated and reduced to a certain image, has in fact a treasure of unexploited talent. I quickly notice that Rob is a great actor. And I'm looking forward to everyone seeing that."

“Rob is REMARKABLE”.  

"Rob is a “really smart guy and he knows exactly what he wants to do to build the career that he wants”.  Rob was “incredibly hardworking and a fun guy to work with, he’s a really good actor”.  Of course Rob thinks he’s a really bad actor, but it wasn’t long before I realised that “that was Rob’s schtick”."

"Robert Is Very Enigmatic, With A Powerful Presence" ~ Claire Denis Talks About Rob & High Life

You're going to love what Claire has to say about Rob in this interview with Vogue Homme. She talks about first meeting him, how his confidence in High Life renewed her confidence in the project, how he gives off an aura that makes you immediately want to film him and more.

I especially like the part at the end where she's hoping she'll be able to keep a cool head on the first day of filming. Good luck with that one Claire.

NEW PIC Of The Kindest, Most Pro, Zen, Comfortable Actor AKA Robert Pattinson

Don't have a huge amount of info about this pic of Rob that Eric Roberts posted on his Twitter. Is Eric involved in Good Time? Your guess is as good as mine, we have so little info about this movie that that would be our best guess.
We'll update and let you know if and when there's anymore info out there.

One thing we do know is that every word of this description that Eric tweeted after sharing this pic is true......

"Pattinson Is A Very, Very Smart, Very Well-Educated & Intelligent Young Man" ~ Werner Herzog

With Queen of the Desert having it's American Premiere at the AFI Fest this week The Daily Beast spoke to Werner Herzog where he spoke a bit about the movie and mentioned working with Robert Pattinson. Not surprisingly he had very complimentary things to say about Rob:
"He cast Robert Pattinson as T.E. Lawrence before fully grasping how huge the Twilight franchise was.

“I only realized that wherever I showed up in Morocco there were screeching teenies,” he smiled. “Pattinson is a very, very smart, very well-educated and intelligent young man. When he says things in the film, they’re always credible. You see you don’t just have a pretty face. It was a pleasure to have him around. A good comrade, as well.”"

Origianl Source Io Donna (Translation thanks to Cristina)
(...) Robert Pattinson? Let’s dismantle the myth: he is not a sex symbol. he is cute, but he fascinates you more for his kind behavior and/or for his attitude of a damned genius. But then, just because of it, for me he is more interesting. He has the world at his feet but he never acts pretentious or superior. A couple of times I asked him personal questions about his work and career. He is a bit embarrassed and shy - and I'm Neapolitan - but once he opens up he's smiling and never dull.

(...) Corbijn is very precise when it comes to the details. In the early days of filming I realized that Rob had some strange tics. I asked around if those were his. I was too shy to ask him myself and found out that those expressions belonged to Stock. The viewers may not even notice Rob's efforts, but for Corbijn it was necessary that these things were done the right way.

"Robert Pattinson Will Become The Biggest Movie Star In The World" ~ Guy Pearce

You had to love the whole bromance that Rob & Guy Pearce had going while making The Rover and while doing the promo last year.
They made such a good team. You could really feel their connection in the movie and you could tell that they became really good friends.

 photo 1jpg_large-1.jpg

In an interview with Yahoo Guy gives us yet another reason to love him ........
"Guy Pearce expects Robert Pattinson to become the "biggest movie star in the world".

The 47-year-old actor appears alongside the 'Twilight' star in thriller film 'The Rover' and he believes the hunk's great looks and superb acting ability can enable him to become the best in the industry if he puts his mind to it.

He said: "I'd met Robert briefly one Comic Con a couple of years ago and told him he was great - I'd only seen one of his films, 'Water For Elephants'.

"He's as interested in delving into character as much, if not more, than I am.

"I thought, 'This guy's totally my cup of tea.' Then I put two and two together and went, 'Hang on, he looks like that, he's that famous and he's this good .... Seriously, if he doesn't become the biggest movie star in the world there's something wrong.'

"Amazing as an actor and amazing looking - what a combination."
