“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.

Maps To The Stars screening is over and they received a long standing ovation! Scroll to the bottom to see more pics from inside the theater and David hugging Rob during the standing ovation (Thanks for that PAW!).





CJ identified Rob's tuxedo and of course....it's Dior Homme! I love love love that it seems Rob is wearing Dior exclusively for his major promotional events. We'll see if the streak continues like it has for Marion Cotillard, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence.




Oh my gosh...we can relate to the girl behind Julianne, can't we. CAN'T WE.



I can't wait to see them together in MTTS!



Robert, you are sensational! So damn handsome!!!



The all black number has always been a winner on Rob. But everything is a winner on Rob!



I wanna know what they were laughing about! Yes I'm being nosy.



Excuse me while I sigh and swoon.

The article gave an edited version of the video. Here's the Rob excerpt:

Gadon, who appeared Friday on Global’s The Morning Show, also talked about co-starring with actors like Robert Pattinson (in Cosmopolis) and Jake Gyllenhaal (in the upcoming Enemy). “I have these surreal moments where I’m like, ‘I’m pregnant with Jake Gyllenhaal’s baby’ and ‘I’m telling Robert Pattinson that he smells of sex,’” she admitted. “But you’re acting so the focus is on the work.”

Robert Pattinson's Thriller 'Maps to the Stars' Starts Shooting & We Get A NEW Synopsis

UPDATED: To Add "The Film Stage's" report
Robert Pattinson's Thriller 'Maps to the Stars' Starts Shooting & We Get A NEW Synopsis

If you're following things over on the "Maps To The Stars" Movie Blog (that Tink and myself are part of) you'll know that "Map To The Stars" started filming started last week and now we have a new synopsis



From The Wrap:

A contemporary tale exploring the demons of our celebrity-obsessed society, story follows the Weiss family, which is led by Stafford (Cusack), a psychotherapist and life coach who made his fortune with self-help books. His wife (Williams) is the overbearing mother-manager of their 13-year-old son (Bird), a TV star recently out of drug rehab. Their estranged daughter (Wasikowska) has just been released from a psychiatric hospital and befriended a limo driver (Pattinson) who is also an aspiring actor.

One of Stafford’s celebrity clients is Havana (Moore), an actress with an unusual new assistant. Havana’s dream of reprising her dead mother’s (Gadon) starring role from the 1960s slowly crumbles while ghosts, death and all manner of vices collide.

Screen Daily  reported on official word of principal photography beginning:

eOne and Prospero Pictures executives reported on Monday [15] that principal photography has begun on David Cronenberg’s Maps To The Stars.

The shoot in Toronto and Los Angeles is expected to last 30 days. eOne will distribute directly in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia and New Zealand, while eOne Films International handles all remaining international rights.

Check out this great write up from The Film Stage :

David Cronenberg has begun shooting a new film, and today is officially a good day for cinema. You’ll recall that his social satire / ghost picture, Maps to the Stars, was in casting stages for a few months prior, our most recent report adding the talents of Mia Wasikowska and Olivia Williams to an already stacked lineup — Robert Pattinson (the director’s Cosmopolis star), Sarah Gadon (also of the 2012 picture), John Cusack, and Julianne Moore all being tapped to lead. Everything’s been coming up Milhouse.

With cameras officially rolling — and this endeavor, at some point, seeing Cronenberg make a directing debut in the United States — some fresh, worthwhile information has begun to file in. Of an appreciably spoiler-free manner is the following plot synopsis, which, in widely expanding the scope on Bruce Wagner‘s screenplay, alters a few personal expectations

Here’s hoping Maps to the Stars is only part two of a Cronenberg-Pattinson “limo trilogy.” Prospero Pictures and SBS Productions have backed the title, for which eOne — yet another Cosmopolis holdover — are to provide domestic distribution. Expect the cast and crew to show off their work in 2014, most likely premiering the title at Cannes.

Kate

"I think this is a pretty obvious choice from me. I have a habit of picking out ones where Rob is pulling funny faces. I’d love to know what’s going on in this pic and I’m pretty sure that a second after it was taken Sarah looked up at his face and cracked up!"

Robert Pattinson and David Cronenberg's Maps To The Stars cast praised!

Robert Pattinson and David Cronenberg's Maps To The Stars cast praised!

I love when news drops for Rob films because we get to have these awesome roundup posts of the positive buzz. We aren't the only ones excited for Robenberg 2.0 and the cast that's coming along for the ride. Check it out!

CriterionCast:

It’s about damn time this picture gets ready to go….the auteur will be joined by one hell of a cast. This sounds like yet another superb satire from one of today’s great satirists, and it’s interesting to see Pattinson re-team with his Cosmopolis director for another film. I was a huge fan of that picture, and really think this could be the start of a really exciting friendship. Hopefully this one can arrive sooner rather than later.

ScreenRant:

Pattinson has been attached to the project almost since its conception and, as was the case with Cronenberg’s 2012 thriller Cosmopolis, it’s largely thanks to the involvement of the highly bankable star that Maps to the Stars has received funding and is heading into production.

CinemaBlend:

Few directors have had such noticeable career arcs as mad genius David Cronenberg. His early career was filled with paranoid science fiction that thrived on mutilated humans, and that aesthetic was left behind and a more thoughtful approach to the stranger plateaus of the human condition took over his work during the 1990s. And in the last ten years, he’s given us a handful of stories drowning in gritty realism as well as an uncharacteristic novel adaptation and the birth of psychoanalysis.
So of course it makes sense that his next project would have one of the stranger plotlines around, but as per usual, he’s got a great cast already involved.

TheFilmStage:

Yeah, it sounds like something we’re very much looking forward to…

DreadCentral:

A-list cast lines up…

ThePlaylist:

…It’s also a “ghost story,” which certainly raises an intrigued eyebrow. The cast is top shelf…

MTV:

“Cosmopolis” director David Cronenberg may have found his new muses. The auteur has just enlisted Robert Pattinson and his “Cosmopolis” co-star Sarah Gadon for his next project, “Maps to the Stars.”

There are a few more excerpts on MapsToTheStarsFilm. Kate and I will be over there covering the film and all involved and of course bringing you the Rob specifics here. :)

Sarah Gadon, Max Irons & Jake Abel, All Talking About Robert Pattinson

Sarah Gadon, Max Irons & Jake Abel, All Talking About Robert Pattinson



A little round-up of people talking about Rob.
First up, Sarah Gadon mentioned working with Rob in this months "In Style" magazine about how she "forgot" what a big star Rob is. I guess it's easily done where Rob is concerned ;-)

Here's the excerpt from the article where Rob is mentioned. Thanks so much to Darja for sending us the scans

Celebrity is a subject she is becoming more and more familiar with. Recounting a story about R-Pattz, she confesses, "There are those surreal moments when you think, 'Wow, I worked with that person!'"
The two appeared on a French talk show, and Sarah recalls, "It was nuts. There were so many fans. In my head I was thinking 'Oh yeah, I guess I forgot you're this massive movie star'."

VMan did a spread featuring Max Irons and Jake Abel and they were asked about becoming the next Robert Pattinson

Here are the excerpts with the Rob mentions:

With this films they both enter that small pool of actors that have a shot at becoming the next Pitt or Depp. But these days everyone is asking..... Can you become the next Robert Pattinson?

Max: “It is a very lazy comparison, because Twilight was a phenomenon unto itself. Pattinson was chased down the streets of Paris before the films even came out. And he is doing well for himself. He has about five films with acclaimed directors lined up.(Kate: Well done Max. You're paying attention!)

Jake: “A lot of people expect us to knock the Twilight cast. But Taylor Lautner is a really nice kid. Robert Pattinson, I couldn’t imagine the tremendous amount of pressure he was under — and he earned my respect when I saw him fight for certain projects. Water for Elephants is a great novel, the movie is what it was. That’s not his fault. That’s the risk; we’re the face of projects.” (Kate: It was exactly what you would expect from a great novel...... A great movie!)

Both name check highbrow directors and repeatedly mention how Twilight paved the way for Pattinson to work with David Cronenberg on "Cosmopolis"

VIDEOS: Robert Pattinson compliments Berlin and Kristen Stewart + Sarah Gadon compliments Rob

Rob spoke to ZDF while in Berlin doing Cosmopolis promo. It's dubbed and you need to go to the Rob space to hear him. Here are some highlights:

• He mentions how it's nice that fans are still excited even though he was there two months ago (Berlinale). He's funny.
• Compliments Kristen Stewart and says other things but I can't tell what the question was
• He loves Berlin and would like to be there for some time

Sarah Gadon mention Rob during eTalk as well. She says, "he's so British, self-deprecating, and awkward. Then he would become Eric Packer, strong and commanding. When David yells cut, Rob would come back." It's cute how she says this :)

VIDEOS: Robert Pattinson talks about earning respect in the industry, the haircut line and more + Paul Giamatti and Sarah Gadon mention Rob

Rob talked to Yahoo (UK) about being nervous with the infamous "want a haircut" line in the beginning. He thinks it's the worst delivery but we know how he talks about himself. I rather liked his delivery of "I want a haircut", "I need a haircut" etc throughout the whole movie. His delivery of that line changes as the day goes on. When you watch the film, listen to how he delivers that line each time he says it. Rob also mentioned having to earn respect in the industry and it made me smile. With the kinds of projects he has lined up, he's doing a great job. :)

Kristen Stewart talks about working with Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon mentions their Cosmopolis characters

The first mention comes from Kristen who squashed the Ciné-Télé (Belgium) comment allegedly from Rob that we posted HERE. We put a grain of salt on that post because it was translated and print. You know those two things are a classic combo for the grain of salt. Kristen says "we are constantly working but no".

Sarah Gadon talked about Eric and Elise, dominating the indomintable guy and a cool thing to consider regarding the seating position of her and Rob in Cosmopolis:

M&C: Your character’s relationship with Eric Pattinson) her husband, is oddly straightforward – it’s love/hate.  It’s brittle, combative and sexual.  What's your take on it?
 
Gadon: So often as a female actress you’re accustomed to reading material where the male character projects onto you exactly what you’re feeling and exactly what you’re working in and exactly what your actions are in a scene. 
 
What I thought was so hilarious about the two of them is that he spent the entire time trying to project onto her – “I want to fuck you, I think you’re sexy, I want this. That, you’re sad, you’re happy”. 
And she spends the whole time saying “No, no” until the end of the arc when he says “I’m not going to be the man you want me to be” and she says "Okay well, I’m out”.  It was so refreshing to me to read that also terrifying.  There is a charisma to the way she does it.  But there is no blazing moment where the screenwriter is saying “fall in love with this woman” because she’s a woman.
 
M&C: Was your purpose was to dominate the indomitable guy?
 
Gadon: I think that’s why women are so responsive to the character.  Men say to me “So she’s really cold” [laughs] but that is what is so great about David is that as a filmmaker, he leaves so much open to interpretation and he allows for the female and male spectator. 
He’s not assuming all audiences members are young men.   He’s saying “I'm going to give you a guy like this or a girl like this and then a woman and a sex scene like that”.  That’s what I find so stimulating about his work.   I'm speculating into the void now but I think he really does account for audiences that are both men and women.
 
M&C: He has a strong wife and daughter.  He’s interesting to see him grow over the years; he seems to have relaxed as a director now, perhaps less of a control freak now.
 
Gadon: But he is not a lax director.  Everything is so defined.  He spent a lot of time getting the script to get to that point.   So often, as Rob Pattinson says, you get material that is not fully developed and just because of the nature of the industry now, you don’t know what’s going to get green lit. 
It has nothing to do with the script and everything to do with the casting, director, financing, so an actor may go to camera with a script that is not going to be developed anymore.
 
It creates a different kind of role for an actor.  So often you’re trying to figure out a scene, the action, intention, emotion with the director on the day and it’s just a lot messier.   With David it’s already there. 
 
There is that difference, but on the day.  He’s there watching and listening and he comes up and says something, even a word, “comprised”, not composed”, and you’ll say it and it will change your whole performance.
 
Rob and I had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the movie and he wanted us to sit side by side.  He asked us to sit outward until the end of the scene when we face each other.  Things like that that change your performance.   He likes to play like he’s laid back!

Sarah Gadon Talks About Robert Pattinson's Powerful Masculinity & We Get Another New Still

Sarah Gadon Talks About Robert Pattinson's Powerful Masculinity & We Get Another New Still

Well it's actually Robert Pattinson's Powerful Masculinity as Eric Packer but we know Rob's got it too, right?



Gadon and Pattinson did not rehearse, the idea being that their unfamiliarity would work to their advantage given the unfamiliarity of their characters. That said, I ask what she thinks Pattinson is really good at.

"Um, what is Rob really good at?" She chuckles. (Kate: Wiggles eyebrows) "He's good at a lot of things! I think he was really great as Eric Packer. (Kate: He sure is good at a lot of things and one of them is definitely being Eric) 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! (Kate: Gotta love powerful Rob) 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." (Kate: WOW great praise from Sarah. I love it!)

What a night! What a wrap! HQ pictures of Robert Pattinson and the Cosmopolis crew at Toronto Premiere

PHEW! My oh MY! These pictures are amazing! You know what else is amazing? Robert Pattinson in Cosmopolis!











I had the immense pleasure of attending the Cosmopolis premiere in Toronto and while eOne handled the red carpet in a tacky manner, it was still an incredible night. Lucky fans got to see this gorgeous man hop out of his blacked out SUV (I did see that) and do his Robert thing among the fans that were accessible. He went inside to do another photocall before a cocktail party for select guests. Then he and the cast came on stage to introduce Cosmopolis to the audience and say they'll be back for a Q&A. The film started and I was RIVETED. I have to settle myself a bit more before I can review this film but oh. Oh. I have too many wonderful words in my brain so I regress to no words. I'll gather those words though and return to share them. So will Kate who saw the film at an press event last week in Ireland.
