Hoy Cinema: Robert Pattinson (Maps to the stars): "People go crazy with pressure":
Little or nothing remains in Robert Pattinson of the shy young protagonist of the vampire franchise "Twilight", saga you removed him from anonymity to the end of his days. It should dive into social networks and discover the phenomenon Pattinson in them to understand the detachment of the actor by the fever of Fame. "I learnt to protect myself, not to mention more. I have discovered that the details are of interest to no one and would rather get away from these reactions in mass."

Maps to the Stars Pattinson becomes a driver of limousine that moves from one place to the other movie stars in Hollywood, while at the same time he attends hearings trying to find its own niche. "When I read the script I thought it was hilarious, I liked the dialogue and the architecture of history.» That is Cronenberg, a filmmaker who, at seventy-one years, continues to be subversive and combative."

It is somewhat macabre Canadian director chosen for the role of underdog to one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. "That's part of his sense of humor. I know a lot of people that look like the characters. It's an honest story and many actresses, as Havana (role played by Julianne Moore), go a little crazy by the pressure. In the industry there are many negative energy and I could not tell you why but there is, it is really strange."

Pattinson has become one of the favorite actors of Cronenberg, with whom he worked last year also in Cosmopolis. "I am as surprised and I am very grateful for the opportunity he has given me. His confidence has opened many doors that otherwise would remain closed to me. Collaborating with an auteur has been very positive for my career."

The film industry urgently needed a guy like Robert Pattinson, able to feel confident and at the same time not be taken too seriously accepting your situation with a dose of humor. "As an actor I want to be part of projects that make sense. For some time it has not appeared any commercial movie that called my attention. There is too much pressure around me and I'm not interested in feeding that beast. I prefer to star in independent films than a film of superheroes that I feel no connection."

In love with the singer FKA Twig, the actor has surpassed the drama of his relationship with Kristen Stewart and looks to the future by writing a new chapter, but does not include producing a music disc. "I do not face criticism very well and I have enough with which I receive as an actor, to also show my music. I do not feel the need to be criticized for it. "

Robenberg bromance never ends! David Cronenberg says Robert Pattinson is an underrated actor, a sweetheart and MORE!

Robenberg bromance never ends! David Cronenberg says Robert Pattinson is an underrated actor, a sweetheart and MORE!

Excerpt from The Daily Beast: David Cronenberg On Soul-Crushing Hollywood, BDSM, and Limo Sex with Robert Pattinson
You and Robert Pattinson have developed an interesting creative partnership. You’re a bit of an odd couple.

We are. Well, first of all, I think he’s a really good actor, and I think he was an underrated actor because of the stiffness and silliness of Twilight and those characters in it. But seeing other work that he had done and seeing that he was a serious actor and looking for challenges, and wasn’t trying to “manage his image” as a star, was attractive to me. And, of course, being such a big celebrity is helpful because it will help your film get financed, but the charisma that made him work so well as Edward Cullen is something you want in a movie like Cosmopolis where he’s in every scene in the movie. You need someone who’s infinitely watchable. But once you’re on the set, he’s just a sweetheart. Totally professional, really accessible, and funny. And a terrific actor. (Tink: MY HEART. Things we know but I NEVER tire of reading or hearing them.)

So I take it you’re not a fan of the Twilight movies.

Well, no, of course not. Look, the series is a huge hit, of course, but it’s young adult fiction and I’m not a young adult. If people are mesmerized by it you can’t argue with it. Not a lot of movies and series have that kind of following. I don’t fault it for that.

Right. Twilight also had a strange chastity/sex is evil message.

Yeah. And you can be sure that Rob was aware of all those things. He’s very well-read, and very well-versed in cinema—which I’m not sure his fans know. (Tink: Ah ah ah. We are veeeeery aware of this side of Rob. Maybe Edward only fans don't know what's up but Rob fans do.) He was very hyper-aware of all those things surrounding those movies.

Your film does have a fun sex scene between Julianne Moore and Robert Pattinson in a limo.

That was fun to shoot! (Tink: And fun to watch!) It requires some athleticism to have sex in a limo for all concerned—including the cameraman—but obviously this isn’t the first time I’ve done a sex scene in a limo, since we did a bit of it in Cosmopolis. In this case it was a real limo, but in Cosmopolis it was a limo-set.

Well Robert seems to have the limo sex thing down, now.

[Laughs] I’ve never asked him how many times he’s had sex in a limo for real. It’s not really my place to ask such a thing. It really just requires the characters to be good actors. Obviously, the sex had a very different tone in this movie because he’s not the star—she’s the star in this movie. He’s just servicing her, and he knows that he’s doing it for his career—he thinks. Whereas in Cosmopolis, he’s the emperor of his limo. (Tink: Master of the universe.)

That was the great thing about this sex scene—it’s a young stud servicing a woman. There aren’t many sex scenes in cinema that feature a woman running the show.

It’s a lovely part of Bruce’s script—that he’s constantly keeping you guessing.

Maps to the Stars released in the US today - go see Robert Pattinson if you can

It's great to see Maps to the Stars in the news again in advance of it's US release today. I know we all just love that Rob got to work with David Cronenberg again and it's always great to see Rob on the big screen! New reviews are in and are saying all the right things ...

The Film Journal

"Maps to the Stars is a brilliantly corrosive, often hilarious portrait of a warped Hollywood"

"Jerome, the limo driver—a minor player, really—eventually gets seduced by Havana. As she hits on him from the back seat, Pattinson, observing her in the rear-view mirror, perfectly mixes prurience, curiosity and an air of why-the-hell-not?—terrific comic acting. No wonder Cronenberg loves him (see Cosmopolis)."

Indiwire (in a repost of their Cannes review)

"the director's most twisted, and as a consequence, most deliciously entertaining film, in quite a long while."

"The director's also been gifted a cracking cast for the material. Before you ask: no, Robert Pattinson isn't in it all that much ... but yes, he's pretty good in it. Plus you get to see him as a sort of glam-rock version of Khan from "Star Trek," so there's that."

Rolling Stone

"the film works as a dark comic blast into the dazzle and depravity of Hollyweird. The great Cronenberg, with the help of gifted cinematographer Peter Suschitzky, keeps us locked to reality even as the film hurtles into the absurd. You can laugh with Maps to the Stars, but you can't laugh it off. Prepare to be knocked for a loop."

LA Times

"due, in no small part, to the alarming script by Bruce Wagner, a writer best known as an envelope-pushing chronicler of Tinseltown ego and excess. He's crafted another aggressively soulless cautionary tale here about Hollywood narcissism — and it's a corker."

and for those of you in LA the LA Times also had all the LA details

MPAA rating: R for disturbing violence, sexual content, graphic nudity, language, drug material
Running time: 1 hour, 51 minutes
Playing: Sundance Sunset, Los Angeles; Laemmle's NoHo 7, North Hollywood; Laemmle's Playhouse 7, Pasadena; Regency South Coast Village 3, Santa Ana

So you know what to do, if you can get to a screening near you, go and support Rob

Robert Pattinson continues his tour of "difficult, auteur driven and inspired cinematic projects" + MORE

Robert Pattinson continues his tour of "difficult, auteur driven and inspired cinematic projects" + MORE

We already mentioned IonCinema including Queen of the Desert in their Top 100 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2015 and now they hit The Childhood of a Leader at #35.

The Childhood of a Leader
Director: Brady Corbet // Writers: Brady Corbet, Mona Fastvold

Working with the likes of Bonello, Östlund, Assayas, Hansen-Løve and Baumbach, when you count the 2014 festival release year alone, actor Brady Corbet (Mysterious Skin; Funny Games U.S.; Simon Killer) has built quite the impressive resume working with the auteur set. While The Childhood of a Leader is his feature length directing debut, this counts as back to back years working in the filmmaker capacity when you take into account his writing creds in Mona Fastvold’s overlooked ’14 title, The Sleepwalker, and the soon to be premiered Sundance short Rabbit, by filmmaker Laure De Clermont-Tonnerre. Initially announced as starring Juliette Binoche (Corbet’s co-star from Clouds of Sils Maria), she was later replaced by Berenice Bejo. It goes without saying that most of the attention will be placed on Robert Pattinson, continuing his tour of difficult, auteur driven and inspired cinematic projects, but Corbet also nabs Tim Roth and Nymphomaniac star Stacy Martin in the lineup. Set in 1919, this story tells the tale of a ‘would-be-fascist,’ and the screenplay is inspired by a wide range of authorial pillars, from John Fowls to Jean-Paul Sarte with a bit of Volker Schlondorff’s 1966 classic Young Torless (which also served as a point of comparison for Haneke’s The White Ribbon). The film has been described as partially about a family that relocates to France for the Paris Peace Conference and about the events leading up to the Treaty of Versailles. Early descriptions of the film also point to elements of horror.

Cast: Robert Pattinson, Berenice Bejo, Stacy Martin, Tim Roth
Producers: Brady Corbet, Chris Coen (Jane Got a Gun), Helena Danielsson (Call Girl), Antoine de Clermont-Tonnerre (Salvo)

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available.

Release Date: With filming set for this January, the Venice Film Fest organizers must be eagerly awaiting a chance at showcasing this film.

Maps To The Stars released their US trailer today and The Playlist included the film in their 25 Best Films of 2015 We've Already Seen. Here's their verdict on the film:

Verdict: Soapy to the point of lunacy, overwrought to a near-camp extreme, and atypically messy from the usually hospital-corners Cronenberg, “Maps to the Stars” is also a huge, almost sinful truckload of fun. Assembling a wonderful cast who take delight in ripping to shreds the folly and hubris of the vacant Hollywood lifestyle, the film is a riot of inside-baseball winks about the film industry, and the deeply narcissist, rotten-to-the-core sellouts who populate it. Julianne Moore’s titanic performance as the fading star facing encroaching middle age (and therefore irrelevance) is so good that it won her Cannes' Best Actress award, and in one go ensures that she herself will never suffer her character’s fate. But all of the cast do sterling work: it’s a, "Hey, where you been?" to John Cusack, and a, "Hello, we’ll be seeing a lot more of you," to Evan Bird, especially. It’s may simply be a gonzo gothic telenovela (so much soap can only ever generate so much froth), but it’s a giddy good time at the pictures.

Robert Pattinson is nothing less than a revelation in The Rover + more year end accolades for Rob's films

Robert Pattinson is nothing less than a revelation in The Rover + more year end accolades for Rob's films

The cinematography in The Rover was perfect for the film and others agree. The film makes a showing in this best of 2014 cinematography video:

The Rover wasn't forgotten by people but I enjoyed this write up the best.

10 out of 10 - Nick Laskins Top 10 of 2014 via ThePlaylist:

I must confess that I had been looking forward to this one since it was first announced and before I knew a damn thing about the film. David Michod’s chilling “Animal Kingdom” remains one of the most startling and assured directorial debuts of the last decade, and my favorite from the current crop of gloriously pessimistic Aussie cinema that includes the films of John Hillcoat, Andrew Dominik’s “Chopper,” and Justin Kurzel’s “The Snowtown Murders.” And yet my already-colossal expectations were not just met, but exceeded by “The Rover,” Michod’s spare, brutal look at savagery and survival in a world abandoned and left to rot by the very people who once inhabited it. The film unfolds in the midst of a worldwide catastrophe called “The Collapse,” the causes of which Michod wisely declines to explain. Some have criticized the film’s leisurely pace and minimal plot, but when the mood and menace is this thick and gorgeous, it would be churlish to complain. Guy Pearce—who, in his whole career, has never been this feral or terrifying, even when he beat Shia LaBoeuf to within an inch of his life in “Lawless”—plays Eric, a frazzled shell of a man whose single-minded pursuit of his missing automobile forms the crux of the film’s slow-burning narrative. As his traveling companion, Robert Pattinson is nothing less than a revelation. The actor has often relied on his striking good looks and air of affectless-ness in the recent films of David Cronenberg, where affectless-ness is a consistent stylistic choice. As Rey, the stammering, sweet-hearted simpleton whose wardrobe looks to be on loan from a 90’s rap-rock band, Pattinson reveals newfound dimensions to his screen persona. He is daft, childlike, full of wonderment and fear. He and Pearce acclimate themselves effortlessly to Michod’s hellish milieu, which strips its “Mad Max” futurescape of all action-movie chicanery and unnecessary exposition and reduces it to the bare essentials. Some have called the film “dystopian,” although that seems unfair and not quite accurate—perhaps this collective misjudgment is to blame for the film’s performance at the box office. But any film that manages to successfully utilize Keri Hilson’s joyously insipid “Pretty Girl Rock” in its most emotionally charged moment has to be something pretty special.

The critics over at The Playlist were fans of The Rover and have included the film and the performances on several lists already documented here. They still gave The Rover an honorable mention on their 17 Best Films You Didn't See in 2014 even though the film appeared in an earlier version of this list:

Films like "The Rover," "The Babadook," "Blue Ruin" and "Obvious Child" should have been bigger hits than they were, but we've been shouting about them for a while, including in our year-end coverage, so we wanted to use the spotlight to shine on some darker corners.

The Playlist, like Buzzfeed, ranked Rob singing Pretty Girl Rock, as 4 out of 15 of the Best Movie Music Moments of 2014!

David Michod's "The Rover" is unrelentingly bleak, or very nearly so. Set in a post-apocalyptic Australia that makes the world envisioned by George Miller's "Mad Max" movies seem like a day at a multi-level spa, the narrative is defined largely by bloodshed, squealing tires, and grime. But it's during the movie's darkest section that Michod brings out the most wonderful moment of levity. Over a stark, wasted landscape, and stars Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson tromping over brush, a familiar tinkling piano starts to boom over the soundtrack, former Timbaland protégé Keri Hilson's outrageously wonderful "Pretty Girl Rock." It lets the audience say, "Wait! I know this song," plugging them into the character's mindset in a way that the movie hadn't previously accomplished, segueing to the next scene, where Pattinson halfheartedly sings along to the song in some bombed-out vehicle (notably the line "Don't hate me 'cos I'm beautiful" which has to have meta relevance for the actor). The upbeat nature of the song gives the movie hope, even if that hope is just as phony and shiny as the song itself (and over just as quickly). It's sometimes hard to make an emotional connection with a movie as single-mindedly brutal as "The Rover," but this moment, thanks to this song, lets you in. It's also amazing to think that, in the dusty distant future, people are still doing the pretty girl rock.

Here are the current collection of videos that showcased the year in film. The Rover and Maps To The Stars pop up and it's fun to try and catch the scenes!

And lastly, for now, Maps To The Stars also snagged a 6 out of 10 best films of 2014 from The Yorker:

6. Maps to the Stars Celebrity is often satirised, but not usually so well. David Cronenburg’s Maps to the Stars was appalling, trashy, and thrilling. Stunningly entertaining yet thought provoking and at times, moving. It was testament to the idea that perfect execution can sometimes be better than having the most original idea.

I love love love that Rob's films get on these year end lists and best of mashups. Chances are we'll be doing this dance again at the end of 2015. :)

I love this version of the poster for Maps To The Stars that Focus Features have on their website.

And what can I say about this new still of Rob & Mia! Somebody turn on the cold shower.
I absolutely LOVED how David shot this part of the movie and was actually surprised that the scene was longer than I expected. It was so romantic and perfect.
