"Robert Pattinson Has A Deep Knowledge Of Cinema With A Talent That Stretches Beyond What Is Shown In Twilight" - David Cronenberg

"Robert Pattinson Has A Deep Knowledge Of Cinema With A Talent That Stretches Beyond What Is Shown In Twilight"
More praise for Robert Pattinson this time from David Cronenberg who made surprise visit to a class at Queen’s University



His film Cosmopolis, based on the novel by Don Delillo, is in post-production. It stars Robert Pattinson as a Manhattan millionaire.

The film was shot in Toronto, a favourite shooting location of Cronenberg’s.

“I’ve never shot a foot of film in the U.S., even though a lot of my movies are set there,” he said.

Toronto also provided a refuge for Pattinson’s international celebrity, he said.

“When we were shooting on the streets, [Pattinson] had a lot of fans crowding around, but he could go to bars and clubs in his street clothes and people didn’t recognize him,” he said.

Cronenberg said Pattinson has a deep knowledge of cinema with a talent that stretches beyond what is shown in the Twilight Saga franchise.

“He’s a very serious actor. He wants to be great and takes the trouble to try and be great,” he said. “What he does in [Cosmopolis] will lay that question to rest, which a lot of people who are skeptical of Twilight are asking.”

Reese Witherspoon Talks About Robert Pattinson's Dedication To His Work

Reese Witherspoon has been doing promo for 'This Means War' and when she was interviewed by Entretenmento.R7 she talked about working with Robert Pattinson in 'Water for Elephants'.

“He's great. And oh my God, so handsome!” (Kate: Nothing wrong with Reese's eyesight then)

The actress praised Pattinson's effort to manage two jobs at the same time.“What surprised me was his dedication. He would film all weekend long, then spend the week on the Twilight [set], then another weekend filming, then more Twilight... And he still had that lightness, humility. He's very grateful for everything he's been living.”

Kate : High Praise indeed from Reese. LOVE it!

Bel Ami directors continue to praise Robert Pattinson: "He was passionately attached to the project."

Bel Ami directors continue to praise Robert Pattinson: "He was passionately attached to the project."



From Huffington Post: 

Robert Pattinson has made a generation of girls swoon, and brought in millions of dollars for the producers of the Twilight phenomenon, where his portrayal of Edward Cullen means he needn't get out of bed again if he doesn’t feel like it. So, it would be understandable if such adulation had gone to his pretty tousle-haired head, and made him a bit difficult to work with. How did the directors of his new film Bel Ami deal with such an idol on this, their very first film?

"He was delightful," insists Nick Ormerod, one half of the directing duo along with Declan Donnellan - established theatre directors with a body of stage, ballet and opera work more than three decades in the making, but novices when it came to film. "He did insist on rehearsing for a whole month before we did our first shoot, which is apparently unheard of in Hollywood, but he was passionately attached to the project." 

"He wasn't that famous when we offered him the part," remembers Donnellan. "He'd done Harry Potter, Twilight was just starting, and I remember seeing his face on the side of a bus.

"Our film took so long to get going because it was art house, that he went off and did Twilight, so we were watching this phenomenon take place." 

Bel Ami was filmed two years ago, which meant the Twi-hards were out with a vengeance by then - remember the tales of Pattinson bunkered down in America trying to film Like Water For Elephants in a small mid-western town? Donnellan and Ormerod look surprised by such unseemly tales: "We had a relatively serene experience," smiles Donnellan. "Only a tiny bit of that in Budapest. We shot in Twickenham, and there was literally no one there. 

"But then, we hit the red carpet in Berlin, and it was like being in Bladerunner, an incredible experience being in the middle of this phenomenon. It was astonishing and hilarious, particularly for our first film." 

Ormerod and Donnellan were steering their golden boy through the French period drama, Bel Ami, based on the short story by Guy De Maupassant, detailing the climb of a young man Georges Duroy (Pattinson) through the ranks of Parisian society, thanks to his success with the ladies who succumb to his pale, cheek-boned charm.

"Rob kept saying, 'this character has no redeeming features, he's so venal'," laughs Donnellan. "It's thrilling to see somebody like that, and Rob agreed. If he sees something he gets it, it's that base level of envy, which he can only cure by getting what the other guy has. There's no lesson in the film, our purpose is only to make you come out asking questions." 

As well as Pattinson, the directors were able to tap into the talent pool of Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci, which could have been intimidating for novices behind the camera. "Uma is a great personality, she is fantastic, and she does make her opinion known, but that was absolutely fine," laughs Donnellan. "We've done a ballet with the Bolshoi before, and operas with Bryn Terfel, so we have done some scary things before.

"Kristin we knew well from our work in Paris, but Uma and Christina and Rob all came from our casting director. They all come from very different backgrounds, the one thing we all shared was not having done anything like this before. 

"You go in hyper-prepared, and then when you get on the floor, you realise you actually don't need all that, and get rid of it - the storyboard is really just to reassure other people as well as yourself. Ultimately, the whole thing is improvised. Whatever you planned, you always saw something better on the day." Having set such a high bar, are Ormerod and Donnellan now claimed by the film world? "We're already back on stage, but we are definitely bitten with the bug," explains Dormerod. "We would have done more projects in the past," muses Donnellan. "But we can't bear to leave the theatre for that long - six months of lunches in Soho House is as much as we can take."

May 4th is my life now. ;)

Thanks Sky for the tip!

Robert Pattinson Smoking Hot Durob

As Tink didn't inflict any pain on you yesterday for Torture Tuesday I thought I'd do it today {giggle} not really, I wouldn't do that to you, or would I?
Let's see what you'll be saying by the end of the post {evil grin}

At the beginning of last weeks Film 2012 where they reviewed Robert Pattinson's "Bel Ami" there was a little preview about what was coming on the show. I missed the clip and was kicking myself afterwards because it had a new scene showing DuRob smoking and it was SUPER hot.
So I went searching to see if the programme was repeated and sure enough it was in the wee hours of this morning so I stayed up to catch the 2 secs of it (yeap I'm Robsessed what can I say?)
I'll shut up now and let you watch it!



And OF COURSE I had to make a gif of it, goes without saying!

Even my computer couldn't had the hotness of these gifs and crashed on me in the middle of making them!
The power of DuRob. SO TAKE THAT AS YOUR OH HOT DAMN WARNING!

I made it slow to make it last a bit longer
(Excuse the ladies arm down in the right hand corner, there was a woman doing sign language, though how ANYONE was supposed to take their eyes off DuRob to look at the sign language is beyond me)



And a little bit closer ;-}
