Jay Baruchel talks about how Rob is a lovely man, incredibly polite and very disarming

You'd think any actor would jump at the chance to work in a film that stars Robert Pattinson. Think of the exposure they'd get!

However, one of Pattinson's Cosmopolis costars says it wasn't the Twilight hunk that drew him to the film...

"Everybody keeps asking me what Pattinson was like," Jay Baruchel told us last night at the premiere if his new film Goon at the Directors Guild in West Hollywood.

"He's a lovely man, incredibly polite and very disarming, but I was just there because [director] David Cronenberg is my idol," he said. "I got to be directed by my hero and I would have just picked up his dry cleaning, so the fact that I'm in it—I don't even remember what I did. I was just kind of there watching the whole time."

In the flick, Baruchel plays a man who starts a tech company alongside Pattinson. And we're surprised to hear none of Baruchel's friends or family begged him to come to set to meet the Breaking Dawn actor.

"I surround myself with girls who keep their stuff on the DL," he grinned. "So I think my sister kept it to herself."

Is Baruchel even a Twilight fan? He laughed, "Not really."

Too bad Cronenberg didn't direct one of the Twi-flicks!

More about Pattinson, is he as dreamy in person as he is on the screen?
Ha, well it's weird after a while working him, you stop seeing him like that but yeah, he definitely has a charisma about him.

Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod On Working With ‘Wonderfully Committed’ Robert Pattinson

Yet more praise for Robert Pattinson from Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod (I love it)

(Click on the pic to the watch the vid)




Co-directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod talked to STV about why despite being written in 1885 Bel Ami is “very much about how we are now”, and how in Robert Pattinson they found a “terrifically serious actor”.

Written in 1885, Bel Ami is the story of a poor former military officer’s rise in fortune in Paris through the seduction of a seduction of a number of powerful women.

The casting of Robert Pattinson in the lead role of Georges Duroy has meant the film has been widely anticipated, especially among fans of Twilight.

However, the hugely enjoyable, bracing period drama will appeal to a wider audience beyond that, its examination of the sexual politics of a past society – at times almost a gleeful romp – reminiscent of Dangerous Liasons.

Though working closely together, Nick and Declan said there was no fall-out, and indeed – given that the movie was produced on a relatively low-budget – the cast and crew pulled together as they’d believed in the story.

On the cast, Nick said: “Rob came very early on. He read the script and absolutely loved it, and really related to the character.

“We met him, and that was like a marriage immediately. He has always been wonderfully committed, and is a terrifically serious actor.”

Declan added: “Very interestingly, he insisted on rehearsing for a whole month in London before we shot one single piece of film, which is very, very unusual for somebody who has as busy a schedule as he has.

“He was incredibly committed, and couldn’t have been a nicer guy or a more talented guy to work with.”

Nick also said of the Twilight star’s involvement: “I think the reason that Rob was attracted to this role is that it’s the complete opposite of everything that he’s played so far.

“The character of Bel Ami is talentless, vacuous and really totally selfish. Rob is very talented, but he completely understood the part, completely understood the character.”

“At the risk of sounding po-faced or pretentious, all artists will grapple – I do – with insecurity about your own talent,” Declan explained. “It’s a very dodgy artist indeed who says ‘I know exactly what I’m doing; I’m a genius, I’m talented’. Nobody I know who does good work thinks like that at all.

“I think that’s one of the reasons why this character is so fascinating to us, really, because he gets to the top with nothing, and it’s very much a parable for our time.”

“It’s interesting to see these very powerful actresses – Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas – play these women who are very powerful in their society, albeit they have to work through men.

“It’s interesting seeing each of them really undo themselves for sex in a way that we’re used to seeing men doing in our public life. These women risk a lot and in different ways ruin themselves because of their attraction to this guy.” (Kate: And who can blame them, I mean look at the guy in question!)

"Robert Pattinson Is Unbelievably Talented" - Declan Donnellan

We all know that Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod have a high regard for Robert Pattinson but it's still nice to hear it again and again.



From The Herald Scotland

AS the winner of several Olivier awards, British director Declan Donnellan is used to the odd coup de theatre, that moment when events on stage take a turn for the astonishing.

But what happened on the red carpet in Berlin for Bel Ami, his feature film debut, had even Donnellan thinking he had lost the plot.

"There was one moment when I thought I'd gone mad," says Donnellan, who was in Glasgow last month for the film festival premiere of Bel Ami with the movie's co-director, the theatre designer Nick Ormerod.

"I was convinced I heard some people scream 'Nick', 'Declan'. I thought this is really pathetic, you've gone mad. But we looked round and there was a group of about six people who had photos of us taken from the set, pulled from the internet. We were so grateful," he says, laughing. "We threw them in Rob's face."

The "Rob" to whom he refers, and the reason why Donnellan and Ormerod were amazed to receive any attention at all, is Robert Pattinson, one of the stars of Bel Ami but best known for playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga. For Twihards, as fans of the vampire films are known, Pattinson is a one-man Beatles, or a taller Daniel Radcliffe, take your pick. When he walks a red carpet it gets very noisy, very quickly.

Bel Ami, adapted from the Guy de Maupassant novel, is the tale of Georges Duroy, a French country boy and former soldier who has no talents to speak of but plenty in the way of good looks. Arriving in fin-de-siecle Paris, Georges finds himself a job as a political journalist just as war is brewing. More importantly to his towering ambitions, he finds a role as favoured "friend" to many a powerful man's wife.

After Water for Elephants and Remember Me, Bel Ami marks another staging post in Pattinson's trek from teen film star to leading man. Though the Twilight saga grinds on (brace yourselves for Breaking Dawn: Part 2 later this year), the 25-year-old is wisely thinking about what happens next.

His chances of impressing in Bel Ami are aided by a cast of fellow actors which includes Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas as the Parisian ladies charmed by Georges.

It's possible to see a certain irony in Pattinson, a young actor largely known up to this point for his good looks, playing a character who has little else to offer but his handsomeness. Donnellan is having none of that. (Kate: You tell 'em Declan!) "I've worked with actors for 35 years and some very, very good ones. Rob is unbelievably talented. He is not Georges Duroy." (David Cronenberg, who directs Pattinson in the forthcoming Cosmopolis, also praised the Pattinson acting chops when I interviewed him recently.)

Indeed, one of the reasons Pattinson, together with Scott Thomas and the rest of the cast agreed to work for not very much on what is Donnellan and Ormerod's feature debut (they previously have a short film to their names) is that they know the pair through the theatre, or through Donnellan's textbook on acting, The Actor and the Target.

(........)

The difference between stage and screen acting is one of scale, says Donnellan. "But great film actors still act. The camera likes to see people think, but so does the audience."

Which leads us back to Pattinson. Most feature film debuts struggle to get an audience. Pattinson's name and face on the billboards should mean that won't be a problem for Bel Ami. There might also be added interest because of what we'll delicately call the film's more intimate scenes. (Kate: ahem...)

"I've done worse on stage," laughs Donnellan. "It is the most unerotic experience in the world doing a sex scene. It ain't erotic on stage either, but you can laugh more on stage."

As for the possibility the film will attract the type of audiences not normally drawn to adaptations of 19th-century French novels, their attitude is that everyone is welcome. That said, they acknowledge that when they began working with Pattinson the first Twilight film was just opening. "The whole mania hadn't started yet," says Donnellan.

On set, Pattinson just got on with the work. "He's very much his own man," says Donnellan. "He's very quietly serious. All of that Rob hysteria you see is completely absent from the set. There's no sense of that at all, he's a nice guy from Barnes."

Their first real taste of that "hysteria" was the Berlin Film Festival red carpet. That turned out okay, and they have similar hopes for the film when it opens in the UK next week
