Blast from the Past: The critics reviews for Robert Pattinson's performance in Cosmopolis
This blast from the past post is one of my favourite Robert Pattinson fandom moments ever! Do you remember when the premiere for Cosmopolis screened in Cannes in 2012?
As the applause continued for David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis many of us fans were scouring twitter for the first reactions. We knew the critics reactions for Cosmopolis would be a turning point for Rob's career.
Read after the cut for the first tweets that started to filter out as our excitement grew ....

Regarding Rob's performance in The Rover:
"The part is a breakthrough performance for the actor who brandishes a convincing Southern accent and reveals a depth of emotion in what is one of the most skillfully interiorized and physically nuanced performances of the year, and if the film had been seen by more people, certainly merits awards nominations."~Meraj Dhir - Great Films The Awards Missed… David Michôd’s The Rover, starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson is "perfectly cast", gives his "best performance", and is "as crisp as the white shirt" he wears in LIFE

I've really enjoyed Rob's reviews out of Berlinale. Click HERE if you missed the initial reviews for Queen of the Desert. The films have received mixed reviews but Rob's performances have been mainly on mainly positive side. Critics just don't disrespect his work like they used to and that's certainly pleasant to read.

UPDATE
Telegraph:
Dane DeHaan and Robert Pattinson shine in Anton Corbijn's low-key portrait of James Dean...But Stock, too, who has an ex-wife and young son he barely sees, is playing the angles, sniffing out a meal ticket. The underrated Pattinson is playing a cold fish here, and does a credible job getting inside Dennis’s aura of shifty desperation: he pesters Dean, pursues him to New York, hangs around his grimy apartment building. The star is half-alarmed, half-amused, and can’t decide if he needs this vulture buzzing around him or not...There are photographers whose camera is like an extra limb, but he’s not one of them. Every time Pattinson reaches for his, he seems sneaky about it, as if he’s stealing something, aware that the authenticity of the moment is under threat.Observer:
Anton Corbijn’s Life stars Pattinson in an admirably low-key role as mid-century photographer Dennis Stock and his frustrated attempts to land a Life magazine photo spread with laconic and wary up-and-comer James Dean (Dane DeHaan, doing disaffection with a surprisingly convincing pout). The slow-burn film is an absorbing study of how arresting, emotionally potent circumstances become iconic imagery.HeyUGuys:
Considering we’re living vicariously through Robert Pattinson’s Dennis Stock in Anton Corbijn’s ambitious biographical drama Life, we rely on our protagonist earning the trust of Hollywood icon and star James Dean, to be granted the fortune of getting beneath the surface of his subject, to allow the audience to do so themselves. What transpires is an absorbing insight into the life of one of the industry’s mot renowned, and elusive stars....Given the undeniable charm and charisma of Pattinson, there was always the fear that he would steal the show from his counterpart, and be perceived as the star. However such is his understated, subtle turn, it allows DeHaan to take on that very role, which, given he’s playing James Dean, simply has to be the case.Cine-Vue:
DeHaan and Pattinson are also both terrific, at once elegant and charismatic, yet equally uncomfortable in the skins they inhabit. Dean's ability to mirror the dilemmas of a disenfranchised generation of youngster made him a star and whilst DeHaan's performance is a little over-exaggerated, he still manages to capture that sense of relatable despondency. This also affords Pattinson time out of the spotlight in one of his strongest roles to date.London Evening Standard:
Pattinson as the restlessly ambitious Stock is more edgy (you can’t help wishing he had been cast as Dean instead)Boston Herald:
How honest, personal and affecting is LIFE.... Robert Pattinson is perfectly cast as Stock, a man adrift with an ex-wife from a teenage marriage and guilt filled about the young son he never sees.
Canvas:
Updating...
The main things you'll remember are Pattinson's best performance and the finest projectile vomit scene you’ve ever seen.Variety:
Robert Pattinson in a sly turn as Dennis Stock...It’s the peculiarly moving, even subtly queer friendship between the two men that distinguishes “Life” from standard inside-Hollywood fare, while gorgeous production values and ace star turns make it a thoroughly marketable arthouse prospect...DeHaan and Pattinson enact this anti-romance beautifully, each man quizzically eyeing the other for leads and clues, while coyly retreating from scrutiny. Pattinson, adding to his post-“Twilight” gallery of sharp-cut screw-ups, brings intriguing layers of childish dysfunction to a character who is only ostensibly the straight man in the partnership.Gone With The Movies:
For Robert Pattinson, his take on iconic photographer Dennis Stock is equally as impressive as he enters the world of Hollywood from the other side of the carpet (and at bottom). Spotting Dean's talent early, Stock, in the two-hour running time attempts to get photographs of Dean before fame kicks in. Deadlines, pressure and awkwardness soon mount-up, and Pattinson expertly presents it onto screen.Little White Lies:
Robert Pattinson impresses in this stylish drama about the relationship between celebrity and the media. An intense mob formed around the Berlinale press screening of Anton Corbijn's Life — such is the continued allure of Robert Pattinson. His fans beyond the festival will be pleased to hear that his brittle performance as LIFE magazine photographer, Dennis Stock, outshines Dane DeHaan's over-baked rendering of James Dean, although the latter is poignant enough to enliven this tale of men helping each other to take a leap into greatness...Pattinson's performance is as crisp as the white shirt and black suits his character always wears. This is a camouflage for his own problems that slowly unfurl, adding colour and improving the film...The social backdrop is just as carefully wrought. In another film, Ben Kingsley's fuming studio head, Jack Warner, would be The Other Man to Jimmy Dean and the tussle would be Saving Mr Banks flavour. Instead, Kingsley ball-busts just enough to give Jimmy's non-conformity gravitas, but the viewfinder is trained on the man behind the camera. Pattinson steps up, allowing more of his character's insides to come out. As Life proceeds the pace picks up and by the third act, it is a compelling dramatisation of an artistically fascinating alliance.Screen Daily:
The two leads convince as actors; it’s the characters that are more of a problem. DeHaan method acts his way into the persona of a consummate method actor whose cool persona was partly a protective screen; his Dean is very much in the mould of the Dean remembered by his East Of Eden co-star Lois Smith, who once said: “He was a sweet, rustic person, but there was also this suspicious, taut, guarded young man”. Pattinson’s hangdog character is defined by an exchange in which, after Dean tells him he’s disappointed in him, he replies “you’re not the only one”.The Hollywood Reporter:
While Pattinson has endured a lot of gratuitous bashing post-Twilight, he gives arguably the most fully rounded performance hereThe Guardian review is bleh but I did wonder if anyone was going to muse about if Rob was in the role of Dean instead. It was something many of us thought when Rob was first cast and several media outlets during the casting announcement thought so as well.

Robert Pattinson is "finally on my radar and he is flying high with potential"
Robert Pattinson is "finally on my radar and he is flying high with potential"
While we patiently await the start of Idol's Eye and for WorkingRob to transport back to the 70s, this great editorial from MoviePilot put hearts in my eyes. It's a fantastic read. Someone is having their Rob-aha moment and you gotta check it out.
Excerpt from MoviePilot:
While we patiently await the start of Idol's Eye and for WorkingRob to transport back to the 70s, this great editorial from MoviePilot put hearts in my eyes. It's a fantastic read. Someone is having their Rob-aha moment and you gotta check it out.
Excerpt from MoviePilot:
The roles actors take on in franchises tend to transcend the screens that separate them from their audiences. Many teenage movie goers tend to transpose their lives with those of their screen idols. Fantasies are apt to do that. Lately, when fans of characters are satisfied with the actor who is chosen to play their favorite characters, they become mixed with the madness of summer block buster and their own real life summer romances. This mixture of fact with fantasy can become toxic. Edward Cullen has become Pattinson's Frankenstein.
As autumn approaches, editors of magazines turn down the heat of summer block busters to a simmer. Content and covers are designed to pull readers in from the summer fun of splashing around cinematic lunacy. On slow burn readers and lovers of film go in search of shards truth. Those whose motivations are to discern fact from fantasy, are not apt to go mad over celebrities. If one is a journalist assigned to interview a celebrity, it takes a patience to provide a space where actors can unwind and open up. My eyes and my mind are constantly in search of actors with whom I seem destined to follow (the last time I swore Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and a few others would be my last 'Brat Pac' to follow beyond my wallet's capacity to justify). Recently, while I scanned the magazine racks at the Barnes and Noble in North Little Rock, I noticed Pattinson's half covered mug peering over a panel. He once again came under my radar. Like my recent blog on the actor Idris Elba, my decision to write about Pattinson stems from the fact that he appeared on the covers of a magazine, Not just that but one I trust. In this case, Esquire Magazine. I read the Esquire article and while doing so, I remembered the reviews of THE ROVER that I had seen on youtube.com (Grace Randolph's among them). Her review was condemning. Yet judging from his choice of directors Cronenberg (twice), David Michod (the Aussie director responsible for ANIMAL KINGDOM), Werner Hersog and Anton Corjbin with whom he has chosen to work, Pattinson with no compass to guide him, has chartered a course of escape from being just a pretty boy suitable only for tabloid mania.
...
While I read the magazine article I laughed at some of the revelations Pattinson shared with writer Sanjiv Bhattacharya. He was engaging and amusing. He shared what his life is like: How he has to find out-of-the way places in order to chill. With all the paparazzi and negative press always lurking, Pattinson's understandable uneasiness still seems penetrable. He opens up; if only as long as the allowable time. I am reminded of the fact that sometimes photographers are only given 15 minutes with the President of the United States. Imagine that, you have only 15 minutes to capture something genuine. In the face of power be it movies star, celebrity or politician, you can not 'flub it up'. What would you I or anyone do? Robert Pattinson is no where near the importance attributed to the great leaders of the world. Yet he has his own 'cross of popularity' to bear. How would anyone of us get beyond that and get to something genuine?
One wonders if the roles Pattinson has played this far have given him enough distance from his own surreal life as a celebrity. In THE ROVER, he is in a post-apocalyptic world. In MAPS TO THE STARS, he exist in the artificial and sometimes ghostly world of Hollywood. He himself seems to carry with him an enigma that he must constantly deny. If you see his shaved head in THE ROVER, you see a man trying to deny the power that Twilight bestowed upon him. Yet that power helps the directors who decide to help him. He helps them. By his own admission, “I don’t promote their films that much”. Yet his presence brings the bucks.....and the ever weary fan base of his brings the tabloids. NOW THATS POWER.
...
Let us hope the the best for Robert Pattinson as he continues to try to awaken from the state of undeadness as Edward Cullen. He is finally on my radar and he is flying high with potential.Click HERE to read the goodness in its entirety!

LA Times published a list of 30 actors under 30 who matter. It's a great list but only one matters to us!
The editorial is good too. We only included a few excerpts but click HERE to read in his entirety.
LA Times: Critic Betsy Sharkey offers her personal list of 30 actors under 30 who matter to movies, starting with the youngest.
There are always those actors who rise above early on....They not only make an imprint in the role but they also tantalize about what they might do next.
...
Such actors have that sense of promise — one of the first things I look for when I see a new face on-screen — and it became a key factor in compiling my list of 30 under 30 who matter, members of a generation more interested in the art than the artifice. The ones I've singled out represent a diverse array of talent. But there is a tonal quality as well that resonates through the list, an earnestness and directness in the actors' approach to the work, more of what we think of as an indie style even when the project is in blockbuster territory or playing with extremes of sci-fi fantasy.
It's a generational gene pool that is particularly rich in talent, so rich that limiting the list to 30 has required painful cuts.
...
Whatever perks of fame and fortune might come their way as a result — and several tied to mega franchises in "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" have had explosive head starts — this crew seems to truly care about the craft.
Yet at some point, a career in the movie industry becomes a question of staying power.
...
Pattinson is finally gaining traction with a string of demanding roles in the offing and an impressive turn in the just-released "The Rover," a case of a gritty turn rising above the project.
The final measure for me in weighing whom to include is that sense of trajectory. It's the sense that the roles right around the corner are likely to push the actors to creative and artistic higher ground — that these 30 under 30 won't accede only to what Hollywood, that great lover of youth, desires but that they will also take on a wide range of roles and find ways within each to make them their own — essentially, the Meryl Streep model.
...
By the way, for the 30 under 30 who've made my list, there are no statuettes, no red carpet. Just a "well done" from a critic who appreciates those who respect the craft, to those whose artistry is making the movies a better place to spend $14 on a Saturday night.

UPDATE: Interview from the red carpet by Scoopla
You'll love what David and Guy say....
UPDATE
I love hearing or reading David talking about Rob. Here's an interview he had with Cinema Australia and he praised Rob again.
Excerpt:
Critically, Animal Kingdom was a very successful film. Was the process of developing The Rover made easier based on the success of that film?
Developing it was just like developing anything. It was me writing, rewriting and rewriting again. Certainly putting it together, getting people to look at it and getting the film financed was made a lot easier. When it came time to cast, for instance Rob Pattinson’s role, I found myself in a very privileged position of being able to get a number of really quite accomplished actors to get in and test for me. One of whom was Rob. Certainly having something already under your belt that has gotten a lot of attention makes that process a lot easier.
You mentioned other actors had tested for the role of Rey. Anyone you’d care to mention?
I can’t say that. I can’t speak out of school. [Laughs].
...
How exciting was it for you to get Robert onboard. There’s a huge commercial element and a built in audience that comes with Robert, so was that a factor in your excitement?
It remains to be seen because I never know what the commercial results of having an actor in your movie might be but there is certainly a thrill to be had in knowing that you’ll be working with someone who is as profoundly famous as Robert is and giving them an opportunity to demonstrate a skill set that people possibly don’t even know he has. I think Robert is extraordinary in this movie. I’ve obviously seen it a thousand times and I just love losing myself in his performance and I love watching him and Guy bounce off each other. Two wildly different characters having to figure each other out performed by wonderful actors. This is what the thrill of directing is all about.
Did they get along off screen?
Totally. They’re both really beautiful human beings and given the nature of the shoot and that we were out in the middle of nowhere in really challenging conditions meant that after a days work was done we really bonded in a warm and special way.

UPDATE:
Graffiti with Punctuation (4.5 stars):
Pattinson is nothing short of unbelievable. Forget anything that you’ve ever seen him in before, this is a towering, career defining performance. Like Leo DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Ryan Gosling’s Half Nelson or Al Pacino’s Dog Day Afternoon – this is the one that sees the young actor nurtured to his full potential.Every single stammering unenunciated southern turn of phrase disguises the erudite Brit made famous by being the prettiest, sparkliest vampire ever. Watching his impressionable nature absorb the bleak philosophy of our man with no name (Pearce) creates a tragic Stockholm syndrome, which also affects his companion.Matt's Movie Reviews (4 stars - excellent):
David Michod’s The Rover is a brooding and intense journey into a graceless world, with Robert Pattinson delivering a fascinating, career defining performance in the process.SciFiNow (4 stars):
...
The two man show of Pearce and Pattinson is outstanding. Pearce delivers one of his strongest turns in his portrayal of a man wounded, scarred and hardened by an uncompromising land, while also deploying a stare that can burn a hole through a brick wall.
Yet it’s Pattinson who fascinates with his turn as Rey, taking pains to shed that teen heartthrob image with a grubby and dirty look, complete with thick southern accent. Portraying a man of limited mental capacity, Pattinson is almost childlike in a performance sprinkled with jitters, hesitations and ramblings, yet never resulting in caricature, a wholly sympathetic character in an unsympathetic world.
It is indeed proving to be an interesting post-Twilight career for Pattinson, who is wisely choosing projects directed by filmmakers of integrity (two films by David Cronenberg proceeded this, and films by Werner Herzog and Anton Corbijn will come after).
Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson are superb in bleak near-future chase film The RoverThe L Magazine:
...
It’s a tremendous performance from Pattinson, who avoids easy choices and cliches to make Rey a sympathetic and ultimately moving figure. Eric’s looking for what’s his, and Rey is looking for family. It’s this relationship that provides The Rover with much of its power. Pearce seethes with searing, desperate energy that’s beautifully matched by Pattinson’s mumbling, cautious attempts at optimism. Some of the film’s most affecting moments come when Michôd’s camera lingers on the characters when they’re alone: Pearce staring at a room full of silent caged dogs, or Pattinson quietly singing “Don’t hate me ‘cause I’m beautiful,” along to Keri Hilson’s ‘Pretty Girl Rock’ on the car radio.
...
The Rover is brutal and gripping, and its profound sense of loss gives it impressive emotional depth; it will stay with you long after the credits roll.
It’s not hard to guess whether the “halfwit” Rey has something to teach the far-gone loner Eric about the value of fellow feeling, but Pattinson is enough of a revelation to hold you through these more straight-ahead passages. Speaking with a Southern drawl and struggling through something of a stammer, the actor turns in a heavily (but not distractingly) mannered performance, portraying Rey as shell-shocked, chronically nervous about where his allegiances should lie.Sydney Morning Herald (3 stars):
Pattinson, almost unrecognisable as a dim-witted boy from the American south, renovates his screen image with this performance2ser:
The film follows Guy Pearce's unnamed character as he seeks to get back something that was taken from him. For most of his journey he's stuck with Rey, played by Robert Pattinson in astounding form. Their relationship is an awkward one, which quickly switches between death threats and saving each others lives, more than once. I loved this film. The cinematography is stunning, the sound design sets the perfect mood and the acting is brilliant. The breathtaking shots of deserts, mountains and towns make the setting as important a character as any of the actors.Director's Cut Movies (5 stars):
Robert Pattinson steals the show with his groundbreaking performance, Guy Pearce now trailing too far behind. Robert Pattinson's not too bad an actor, it's just the material that's bringing his credibility down such as the Twilight Saga. The Rover will literally change everybody's perspective on him. Pattinson gives one of the best male performances of the year and it's certainly his best performance to date......To sum up, The Rover is a triumphant return of David Michôd with a fantastic screenplay, brilliant direction, successful cinematography, shocking and gruesome violence and some of the best performances of the year.Spotlight Report (4 stars):
To say this feature is as bleak as the terrain it is set in would be an understatement. Bleak but beautiful as is the harsh world that sets the backdrop for the picture. There are three undeniable stars of The Rover – Pearce, Pattinson and the Australian landscape that is equal measures stunning, dangerous and unyielding......Whilst Pearce appears to be dead inside, Pattinson’s sweet naivety and loyalty is endearing. He has misplaced hope in a world where there is no place for such luxuries. He plays the role perfectly and flexes acting muscles that have previously lain dormant in the less challenging roles he is known for, capturing the stunning simplicity of his character.Click HERE to follow The Rover Reviews on the blog!

Robert Pattinson talks to ASOS about The Rover, Rey and finding the right pair of jeans
From ASOS, Robert Pattinson talks The Rover and finding the perfect pair of jeans:
Your softly spoken, impeccably clad Imaginary Boyfriend Robert Pattinson is in town for the Sydney Film Festival, and guess who caught up with him?! Fresh off the Cannes press circuit, the man formerly known as R Patz sat down with yours truly to discuss his latest film, The Rover. It’s a bleak, futuristic Aussie western set after the global financial collapse, in which former solider Eric (Guy Pearce) forms a tenuous friendship with the emotionally limited Rey (Pattinson). We don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say the drama (directed by Animal Kingdom's David Michôd, FYI) couldn’t be further from vampire romances and the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Without further adieu…
Hi Robert! Welcome to Sydney. Tell us, what piqued your interest in the film?
‘I thought the script was so sparse and direct. It even looked different on the page, like the formatting was different. There were no commas! I thought it was so original, and my agent told me it was an offer, and I was like “Really? I never get offered stuffed like this!” And then he was like… “Oh no, I sent you the wrong email, everyone’s auditioning for this.” [laughs].’
How would you describe your character, Rey?
‘He’s very… dependent. He’s been told by everyone around him that there’s something wrong with him, that he’s kind of deficient in some way, and it’s not really established whether he is or he isn’t.’
What were some of the challenges in bringing Rey to life?
‘Mainly the costume! It sounds ridiculous but that was the most important part. As soon as I got the right pair of jeans – we went through, like, a million pairs of jeans! – And once we found the right jeans for him to plod around him, and sneakers that were slightly too big, [it all came together].’
Can definitely relate to that feeling! How important is fashion and costume is to a movie? Is it something you really focused on?
‘It’s massive for me! It’s weird though; I had such a specific look in [The Rover] – down to the colours of the t-shirt. We did a few screen tests and [when you have the right clothes] you suddenly walk different.’
What was the hardest scene to shoot? There are so many graphic, confronting moments.
‘My hardest scene – and this is probably a bit of a giveaway – but I had to have a pipe up my leg, with three guys controlling my pump, and that was probably my biggest scene in the movie. I didn’t know how complicated it would be with the set up.’
What do you think makes Australian film unique?
'For the last few years, it suddenly became such a unique genre. I don’t know what it is! There’s something about it being so isolated – I think it feels very foreign. I think there’s a confidence in the filmmaking that doesn’t exist elsewhere. In Australia, there’s kind of vitality to it. A grim vitality.'
From Daily Mail/Australian Associated Press (see some of these quotes on video HERE):
Amidst the flashing cameras, fans and buzz of The Rover's Australian premiere, its star Robert Pattinson was really just missing the Outback.
Pattinson, his co-star Guy Pearce and director David Michod walked the red carpet in Sydney on Saturday night for Michod's much-anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom, which is screening as part of Sydney Film Festival.
Hundreds of fans waited along the street for the Twilight star, some who had been there since early that morning.
The anticipation seemed to be too much for one, who climbed over the barrier for a closer look, before realising it probably wasn't a great idea to stand in the middle of three lanes of CBD street traffic.
When the stars turned up, one lane outside the State Theatre was blocked off to allow Pattinson and Pearce to meet and take photographs with the crowd. Cars crawled past as people, realising what the fuss was about, pressed against windows with their phones trying to get a snap.
Pearce says the turn-out wasn't shocking because Pattinson "deserves it totally".
"It's pretty full on though," he says. "I'm glad it doesn't happen to me all the time."
Pearce would have had a taste of this kind of hysteria over the years, particularly on Neighbours, but admits "it was never quite this mad".
Director David Michod knew when Pattinson signed onto star in The Rover that this kind of fanbase existed, but he didn't really know what it would feel like to be around it.
"With Rob it's Beatlemania," he says.
"But it's been one of the great, sort of most rewarding things for me about this whole experience is realising that the guy who's at the centre of this bizarre bubble is actually a really wonderful gentle, humble, interesting, funny human being."
The Rover was filmed over seven weeks in remote South Australia. And for Pattinson, being in the Outback allowed him to feel a bit more free.
"I really miss the Outback, I loved it out there," he says, adding he will also miss Australians in general.
In The Rover, Pattinson plays Rey, a young, simple Southern American who finds himself alone and forced to help Pearce's Eric - a cold, angry loner - find the gang who stole his car. Pattinson's performance, filled with tics and vulnerability, has been called "career re-defining" and for Pearce, seeing him play Rey was "utterly heartbreaking".
"In fact, I don't think I worked on the first day and on the second day I went out and was watching Rob do some stuff and I was really quite taken by what he was doing," he says.
"I'm embarrassing him by saying this right now, but I just found it a really extraordinary, really beautiful performance."

I never get offered stuffed like this!” And then he was like… “Oh no, I sent you the wrong email, everyone’s auditioning for this.” [laughs].’
How would you describe your character, Rey?
‘He’s very… dependent. He’s been told by everyone around him that there’s something wrong with him, that he’s kind of deficient in some way, and it’s not really established whether he is or he isn’t.’
What were some of the challenges in bringing Rey to life?
‘Mainly the costume! It sounds ridiculous but that was the most important part. As soon as I got the right pair of jeans – we went through, like, a million pairs of jeans! – And once we found the right jeans for him to plod around him, and sneakers that were slightly too big, [it all came together].’
Can definitely relate to that feeling! How important is fashion and costume is to a movie? Is it something you really focused on?
‘It’s massive for me! It’s weird though; I had such a specific look in [The Rover] – down to the colours of the t-shirt. We did a few screen tests and [when you have the right clothes] you suddenly walk different.’
What was the hardest scene to shoot? There are so many graphic, confronting moments.
‘My hardest scene – and this is probably a bit of a giveaway – but I had to have a pipe up my leg, with three guys controlling my pump, and that was probably my biggest scene in the movie. I didn’t know how complicated it would be with the set up.’
What do you think makes Australian film unique?
'For the last few years, it suddenly became such a unique genre. I don’t know what it is! There’s something about it being so isolated – I think it feels very foreign. I think there’s a confidence in the filmmaking that doesn’t exist elsewhere. In Australia, there’s kind of vitality to it. A grim vitality.'
From Daily Mail/Australian Associated Press (see some of these quotes on video HERE):
Amidst the flashing cameras, fans and buzz of The Rover's Australian premiere, its star Robert Pattinson was really just missing the Outback.
Pattinson, his co-star Guy Pearce and director David Michod walked the red carpet in Sydney on Saturday night for Michod's much-anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom, which is screening as part of Sydney Film Festival.
Hundreds of fans waited along the street for the Twilight star, some who had been there since early that morning.
The anticipation seemed to be too much for one, who climbed over the barrier for a closer look, before realising it probably wasn't a great idea to stand in the middle of three lanes of CBD street traffic.
When the stars turned up, one lane outside the State Theatre was blocked off to allow Pattinson and Pearce to meet and take photographs with the crowd. Cars crawled past as people, realising what the fuss was about, pressed against windows with their phones trying to get a snap.
Pearce says the turn-out wasn't shocking because Pattinson "deserves it totally".
"It's pretty full on though," he says. "I'm glad it doesn't happen to me all the time."
Pearce would have had a taste of this kind of hysteria over the years, particularly on Neighbours, but admits "it was never quite this mad".
Director David Michod knew when Pattinson signed onto star in The Rover that this kind of fanbase existed, but he didn't really know what it would feel like to be around it.
"With Rob it's Beatlemania," he says.
"But it's been one of the great, sort of most rewarding things for me about this whole experience is realising that the guy who's at the centre of this bizarre bubble is actually a really wonderful gentle, humble, interesting, funny human being."
The Rover was filmed over seven weeks in remote South Australia. And for Pattinson, being in the Outback allowed him to feel a bit more free.
"I really miss the Outback, I loved it out there," he says, adding he will also miss Australians in general.
In The Rover, Pattinson plays Rey, a young, simple Southern American who finds himself alone and forced to help Pearce's Eric - a cold, angry loner - find the gang who stole his car. Pattinson's performance, filled with tics and vulnerability, has been called "career re-defining" and for Pearce, seeing him play Rey was "utterly heartbreaking".
"In fact, I don't think I worked on the first day and on the second day I went out and was watching Rob do some stuff and I was really quite taken by what he was doing," he says.
"I'm embarrassing him by saying this right now, but I just found it a really extraordinary, really beautiful performance."
* The Rover is screening as part of Sydney Film Festival. It opens in Australian cinemas on June 12.

This is another great one! The audio is dubbed but I could hear most of what Rob and David were saying. All the best bits. Transcript is below. Feel the pride, y'all!
Transcript of Rob and David's portion:
Rob:
I think it's kind of funny. I mean literally. I do weird movies and I like weird movies. And I just think it's kind of, all these, like people, the little girls screaming and then they're going to see The Rover. It's kind of hilarious.
David:
I'd like to take credit for this. And I've always thought he's a really, really, a very underrated actor and I thought he was extremely talented. So it just proves that my instinct that he was an actor who was a star before he had a chance to prove that he was a real actor. I mean it's like when he gave Rosette the Palme d'Or everyone told us this is terrible and then (?) so you feel your instinct was correct and that of course makes you feel really good.
Rob:
It's just someone believing in you. I mean, you kind of, someone who you really respect and it makes you think about yourself differently afterwards. And I was always quite ambitious when I was younger but after Cosmopolis you kind of feel different ambitions afterwards and you believe in yourself a little bit more.
Oh man....

LA TIMES: Robert Pattinson is a revelation in The Rover! David Michôd calls his performance extraordinary!
LA TIMES: Robert Pattinson is a revelation in The Rover! David Michôd calls his performance extraordinary!
OMG. Guys. Serious talk. Are you sitting down? Do you have your survival supplies? READ THIS.
From LA Times, Kenneth Turan:
'The Rover,' shot in the scorching outback, chills the heart and soul
Film directors fretting on the set is nothing new, but David Michod, whose "The Rover" will debut at the Festival du Cannes on Saturday, had a concern that was considerably out of the ordinary: "I worried," he says, "that the actors would die."
Michod's first feature since 2010's knockout "Animal Kingdom," "The Rover" stars Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson and was filmed in the South Australian outback, where temperatures in the hottest time of the year are literally inhumane.
"We had a technical scout the week before we started shooting and it felt dangerous, the temperature was 50 degrees Celsius, which is 122 degrees Fahrenheit," the director recalled while in the cool interior of a posh hotel bar.
"You couldn't work in that kind of heat, if you stood outside for more than 20 minutes you could start to die. ... The producers [and I] had a short conversation about that, it was short because we didn't want to contemplate that possibility. Fortunately, the temperature during shooting went down to 40 to 45 degrees Celsius [104-113 Fahrenheit.] That sits within the spectrum suitable for human life."
Unaccountably slotted for the midnight section of the festival rather than the main competition, "The Rover" is a most impressive piece of filmmaking, tense and unrelenting, that chills the blood as well as the soul.
It not only features head-turning performances by Pearce as a man ferociously determined to get his stolen car back and Pattinson as someone dragged along in his wake, it is set in a completely terrifying world. It's 10 years after an unnamed global economic collapse, and this part of Australia has become a bleak and hopelessly hollowed-out society that Michod and his team have superbly created.
"I didn't want to do a post-Apocalypse movie, where you're on the other side of a catastrophe so unforeseeable that you can sit back and enjoy your popcorn," the director explained.
"And I didn't want the world reduced to total anarchy, I wanted an infrastructure of sorts, like in a resource-rich Third World country, where financial interests are protected and everyone else is left to fend for themselves. I wanted a world that could be right around the corner, something tense and menacing because of its palpable plausibility."
Writer-director Michod and his story collaborator, Joel Edgerton, came up with the idea for "The Rover" in 2007. "We scratched out an outline and I wrote a first draft when we were in Los Angeles, at loose ends and not knowing why we were there.
"We started out with nothing other than a man and a car in the desert. I always start with something generic and it becomes my goal to make it less so, to make it unusual, detailed, specific. If there are references and touchstones, I try to put those aside and make something you haven't seen before."
The success of 2010's "Animal Kingdom," first at Sundance and eventually at the Oscars (where costar Jackie Weaver got a best supporting actress nomination), was both unexpected and a career-changing experience for the 41-year-old director.
"I went to Sundance without having any idea of what anyone was going to make of the movie, I had totally lost perspective," Michod remembered. "I went bracing myself for embarrassment."
Instead came the exhilaration of success, and with it "suddenly an entire world of possibilities opened for me. I decided to keep myself open to the idea that my next film could come from anywhere.
"So I spent — or wasted — a couple of years reading other people's scripts. But I like building movies from the ground up, and I couldn't wrap my head around movies that were already half made. I wanted to do something of my own on my own terms."
That led Michod back to "The Rover" and the terrifying character of Eric, played by Pearce, "a murderously embittered man trying to track down the people who stole his car. He is a guy in his mid-40s, old enough to remember life before the collapse but young and vital enough to be dangerous. His character is slowly revealed to you, he had a complex emotional life that had just atrophied."
Pearce was one of the stars of "Animal Kingdom" and Michod wrote this part specifically for him, but the director still had to fight to get him, to combat the notion that "to get almost any movie made you need one of the eight guys in the world everyone wants."
"Guy is a lovely, warm and engaging human being, but there is something hidden and mysterious about him as an actor, and he is a master of taking minimal stuff and simply filling it with details," Michod said. "And he's a professional, he's really good at playing the instrument when he picks it up, and he's also good at putting it down, he doesn't need to wear the character when the camera isn't rolling."
Pearce's barely controlled ferocity as Eric is exceptional, but it is not as much of a revelation as Pattinson's unrecognizable work as Rey, a damaged, unfocused individual who is the older man's half-unwilling accomplice.
"I met him in Los Angeles when I was doing the 400,000 meetings I was expected to do after 'Animal Kingdom,'" Michod said. "I've learned not to dismiss actors based on preconceptions, and he was a classic example.
"I understand how young actors can paint themselves into luxurious corners, and I knew if I could get the movie made and Robert played that character, the world would see a skill set he has that I don't think he's previously ever demonstrated.
"Robert and Guy's performances are so extraordinary, I want them to win things," the director concluded, which is another reason "The Rover's" exclusion from the Cannes competition is so regrettable.
So proud, so CRAZY proud of Rob!!!! It's a new day!!!!

Robert Pattinson's upcoming performance in Life makes The Playlist's Oscar predictions list for 2015
Well this made me smile.....
The Playlist has been doing a "Premature Oscar Predictions" list for 2015 and guess who showed up on their Supporting Actor list?
Johnny Depp!
HAHA! Just kidding guysssssss....you know who showed up....
ROBERT PATTINSON!
Now this is a big step for The Playlist so they saved the best for last. ;) Rob's name pops up in the "you could also keep an eye out for..." section. They see potential for his role as Dennis Stock in Life which is crazy awesome since we're currently loving the set pics we're seeing.
I have personal, realist viewpoints about Oscar noms and fine-ass men with talent but those viewpoints don't keep me from smiling BIG TIME when I see movie media outlets anticipate award worthy performances from our favorite actor. I would have thought Rey would have gotten some love but The Playlist anticipates a fall festival run for Life and that could explain their Dennis Stock love. And yeah the work Rob is doing on Life is of the Best Actor variety since it's Dennis Stock's story but c'est la vie.
EITHER WAY......I'm

DiorRob in America continues to heat up. I saw the TV spot during Good Morning America and freaked out like it was my first time seeing him. The fragrance is in full promotional swing at Macy's so make sure you stop buy and pick up a bottle or two for the men in your life. Or yourself. It's not unusual for a woman to enjoy a light spritz of men scents and Eau for Men is lovely on the skin.

Thank you, Nancy, for the tip!

Support Robert Pattinson's new venture and buy Dior Homme fragrance!
We have good news! Earlier this week, we spoke to a Dior representative about something that's been on many minds. If we buy Dior Homme fragrance but the DiorRob campaign isn't in the country (US, UK, Canada to name a few), will those sales be attributed to Rob being the new face for Dior Homme fragrance? You know how we do. We love to support Rob and we're all eager to support him in this new and exciting professional venture. So can we do that even when DiorRob is MIA from our malls*, magazines and more?
Short answer. YES!
The Dior representative said that since DiorRob is a global image, they are factoring in global sales regardless of the campaign being absent from some markets. There's still no word on if or when DiorRob will make it to other countries. It's not uncommon for celebrities to have endorsements exclusive to Europe, Asia or the like. We have to wait and see. But for now, you can buy your husband, boyfriend, brother, friend or self, a bottle of any of the four fragrances and you would be supporting DiorRob!

I had a friend purchase Dior Homme Cologne and Dior Homme Intense for me when she was in Paris. I can't find those scents in the states. I love them! The cologne is fresh, clean, citrusy and out-the-shower feel. It's not strong when I sprayed it lightly on the skin to get a sense for it. It's an easy scent for a man (or even woman) to wear.

Intense is warm, woodsy and even sweet, like burnt butterscotch, when it settles. It makes me want to snuggle by a fire and take long inhales along a man's neck. Intense, right??? *fans self* That one is my current fave. I'm sooooo excited for when Dior does ads geared to promoting specifically Intense. RAWR.

I haven't tested Dior Homme Sport or the signature fragrance being promoted right now, Dior Homme Eau de Toilette. I can find these in my country and I'll check them out soon. Especially the EDT since Rob revealed in Sunday Style that was the scent he was wearing during the press junket in June. Click HERE for a refresher.

Proud of our favorite A-lister! What was Robert Pattinson's salary to partner with Dior, what did he wear and MORE!
Well it doesn't look like Rob needs to be president to ship out to Fiji. The Hollywood Reporter recently did two articles about which celebrities are bringing in the 8 figures and which celebrities make up the new A-list. Guess who made both lists?? The answer is easy peasy. ;)
Excerpt from THR:
It's all so exciting! Rob's post-Twilight moves are smart, lucrative and establishing. I'm definitely hoping DiorRob is as successful as Charlize's campaign. Could you imagine?? A decade of DiorRob. sigh.....
In other DiorRob news, a reader of ours reached out to Dior to find out what Rob was wearing. While we all can assume the answer would be Dior, their email reply revealed they suited our guy in only the best and most exclusive:
While DiorRob's apparel is unavailable, that hasn't stopped him from being quite available around the globe. We have tons of pictures HERE in our first post about GlobalDiorRob but here are the latest sightings from around the world (and inside theaters!) in Austria, Romania, Russia, Argentina, France and Spain.

MORE DIORROB PICS AND VIDS AFTER THE CUT!
Well it doesn't look like Rob needs to be president to ship out to Fiji. The Hollywood Reporter recently did two articles about which celebrities are bringing in the 8 figures and which celebrities make up the new A-list. Guess who made both lists?? The answer is easy peasy. ;)Excerpt from THR:
Eight-Figure Endorsements: Who's Getting Them in Hollywood
Predictably, A-listers are the most-prized targets on Madison Avenue. Although every deal is unique, one top commercial agent says he's seeing more eight-figure paydays than ever before. Long-term relationships have become a key way to optimize revenue, says another endorsement agent who, when it comes to beauty deals for his top female talent, only fields multiyear offers.
Charlize Theron struck gold with her gilded J'Adore ads, spinning her initial three-year deal with Dior (reportedly worth $5 million annually when she signed in 2004) into an iconic partnership nearly a decade later. The fashion house might hope its new arrangement with Robert Pattinson works just as well, as it is paying him at least $12 million to represent its Dior Homme fragrance for the next three years. With bigger revenue comes greater and more high-profile risks. Celebrities reduce missteps by scrutinizing a brand's roster of spokespeople almost as closely as potential co-stars. Jennifer Lawrence finally said yes to her first luxury endorsement when she saw she was in good company succeeding Oscar winner Natalie Portman as the face of Miss Dior.Rob's partnership with Dior was also the main basis for his inclusion in THR's other report about A-listers salaries. Excerpt from THR:
The New A-List: 23 Salaries From Angelina Jolie to Robert Downey Jr. Revealed
Who commands $20 million per movie? How much is Robert Pattinson getting paid to shill for Dior? And Downey is making HOW MUCH for "Iron Man 3"?! THR breaks down the earnings of Hollywood's biggest stars.
It's all so exciting! Rob's post-Twilight moves are smart, lucrative and establishing. I'm definitely hoping DiorRob is as successful as Charlize's campaign. Could you imagine?? A decade of DiorRob. sigh.....
In other DiorRob news, a reader of ours reached out to Dior to find out what Rob was wearing. While we all can assume the answer would be Dior, their email reply revealed they suited our guy in only the best and most exclusive:
While DiorRob's apparel is unavailable, that hasn't stopped him from being quite available around the globe. We have tons of pictures HERE in our first post about GlobalDiorRob but here are the latest sightings from around the world (and inside theaters!) in Austria, Romania, Russia, Argentina, France and Spain. And these are just the places we're able to keep up with! Don't miss the YouTube from Singapore and we have more videos under the cut from Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
