VIDEO: LCI/My TF1 News Interview Robert Pattinson
It's dubbed but if you listen really carefully you can hear what he says.
There's a small bit of Rob at the very start but the interview starts properly at the 5:00 mark.
Transcript: (thanks to
LeRPattzClub)
At 5.00 – 11.20
Reporter: You're here to present 2 movies, Maps to the Stars and The
Rover. In the Rover, you're playing a naive guy. What attracted you in
this character?
Rob: The script is so different. It's completely different from
everything I've ever done before. I don't know what exactly but
something magical happened with this part. I couldn't tell you what but I immediately related to this part as soon as the first reading.
Reporter: Did you fight to get this part since it's so far from Twilight and from the perception we have of you?
Rob: Yeah. I wanted it so badly . I auditioned twice and I hate that.
I'm so bad at auditioning. But this time it was different. I didn't want
to fail and lose this part. I didn't want anyone else to get it. But
the auditions for this part were so weird. They took place in Los
Angeles at the director's house and I was there sitting in his living
room and I didn't know if what I was doing was good and could please
him. But yeah I had to fight for this role.
Reporter: Do you have the feeling that you still have to fight to prove
you're not the guy from Twilight anymore? That you can play something
different?
Rob: Yeah but all the actors had to deal with it in order to not play
the same part everytime. I kind of like it. Sometimes it's so crazy and
out of portion how people want to see you fail. But I like it. It gives
me energy and the rage to move on.
Reporter: Is it easier to get a part or is it still a fight?
Rob: Every single part which I played, I had to take auditions. Now , to
tell you the truth , what's different between these 2 movies and
Twilight is that they can finance them just because of my name. So it
helps. But you really have to fight to get a part. You still have to
audition for everything.
Reporter: What was the biggest challenge for you with your part in The Rover
because we don't know anything about your character. We discover him at
the beginning and he's hurt, he doesn't know where to go so he gets
stuck with the other guy. What was difficult?
Rob: Probably the 1st scene, the one where they meet for the 1st time. I
think it was the 1st scene I shot for the movie. This character is a
bit crazy and to play him in such a tense moment , when for example he
believes he's going to die, it's so hard. He's a simple mind and we
don't how how extreme we can be with him. It was kind of tough to do it
but it was so much fun. The part was so funny because you can do
whatever you want.
(extract from Maps to the Stars)
Reporter: You're also starring in Cosmo.. no Maps to the Stars by David
Cronenberg. After working with him on Cosmopolis, how would you describe
your working relationship with him?
Rob: With Cronenberg, it's really fun. I get on well with him. I like
hanging out with him. I accepted to play on Maps to the Stars before I
read the script. I want to be in all in his movies. He's telling
interesting stuff. The atmosphere on his sets is always relaxed.
Everything seems so easy and fun. His movies are really cool.
Reporter: You're playing an actor who faces hardship and who tries to have
his break. He's a limo driver. It's ironic , isn't it? To give you this
part?
Rob: Maybe ! What's funny in MTTS is that I'm the only normal person.
The others are completely crazy. I like playing this pretty shitty
actor. It's kind of fun.
Reporter: Is your conception of Hollywood similar to the one in the movie:
as a pitiless, mean and funny universe? Because you are familiar with
this universe?
Rob: Yes I guess MTTS gives a rather harsh conception of Hollywood. And a
lot of people think it has a dark side. But most of the time it's a
rather funny place and a very pleasant place to work in.
Reporter: How do you feel to be here in this film festival with these 2 movies?
Rob: It's amazing ! The atmosphere is electric during the screenings.
The audience doesn't hesitate to show their feelings if they don't like it.
It's in the very first 10 minutes. It's kind of scary watching stuff
but it's exciting.
Reporter: Are you preparing....
And the crew is stopping her because her time with Rob is over.
