Robert Pattinson talks about censorship in the film industry and the "very dark, funny" 'Map to the Stars'

Robert Pattinson talks about censorship in the film industry and the "very dark, funny" 'Map to the Stars'

A couple of blurbs from Rob that have come out from Cosmopolis promo.

From Film News (UK):

Robert Pattinson is shocked by how censored show business remains. The actor stars in director David Cronenberg’s upcoming move Cosmopolis. In this film Robert’s character is involved in a threesome and shoots himself in the hand with a gun. Robert believes that the movie ratings system is inherently flawed in the age of the internet.

“You’re immediately at the highest rating with things to do with sex. But you can have violence. It’s like, ‘What?!’ It’s completely crazy,” he told British newspaper The Sun. “I don’t think there’s anything in Cosmopolis that’s particularly... there’s nothing bad. I don’t think there’s anything that would have shocked me when I was 13. Especially when every single kid nowadays probably watches hardcore pornography on the internet. It’s no worse – in fact, it’s a lot better.”

Robert isn’t nervous about how audiences will receive the potentially incendiary scenes in Cosmopolis.

“I’m not worried about the violence or the sex or anything like that,” he said. “Transformers is more violent than Cosmopolis.”

From Entertainment Weekly:

It appears that Pattinson and Cronenberg are hoping to pair up once more following their upcoming Cosmopolis. Pattinson confirmed to EW that he’s attached to the director’s long-gestating Maps to the Stars — although he’s not sure when they would begin production. “I don’t know if I’m doing it next,” he says. Cronenberg has stated that he hopes to cast frequent collaborator Viggo Mortensen as well.

The film would be based on a script by novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner, who has also written an adaptation of Jonathan Lethem’s novel, As She Climbed Across the Table, for Cronenberg. “It’s about child stars,” says Pattinson of Wagner’s script. “It’s very funny. It’s very, very dark.”

Cosmopolis, which is based on a 2003 Don DeLillo novel, debuted two weeks ago at the Cannes Film Festival.

This audio interview on CBC Radio was great. The interviewer started to grate on my nerves but David, of course, made sure Rob was respected. He loves him so. :')

I worked on a semi-transcript (not entirely verbatim) for CosmopolisFilm because the video can't be embedded on that blog but I'll include it here in case some of you aren't able to listen to the audio right now. The interview is on autorun so it's after the cut.

Robert Pattinson jokes about setting up a PayPal account just to work with David Cronenberg again

Robert Pattinson jokes about setting up a PayPal account just to work with David Cronenberg again

NOW Toronto got a chance to sit down with Rob and David during Cosmopolis promo in Canada. Of course there was insight and hilarity. :)

Robert Pattinson wasn’t expecting to star in Cosmopolis. In point of fact, he didn’t think a director like David Cronenberg would even consider him for the project.

“I never really took myself seriously as an actor before,” he says, barely awake the morning after the movie’s gala Toronto premiere. “And [then] you get cast in a movie like this, and it gets to Cannes and it’s not a total disaster, and I haven’t brought down David’s entire career…”

Cronenberg’s eyes crinkle. “We’ll see,” the director says. “That’s still in the future.” (Tink: These two need to go on the road...oh wait...)

On the verge of burning out after shooting the two-part Twilight finale, Breaking Dawn, Pattinson had been thinking seriously about pulling back from movies.

“I was fully intending on hiding for a couple of years,” Pattinson says. (Tink: *wide eyed* That's the scariest thing I've ever read.)

“I only wanted to do small parts. The time is gone – for me, especially – when you could learn on the job. I mean, even the idea of going to a repertory company or something – everybody’s going to be filming it on their phone, and it’s exactly the same thing in movies pretty much. So I wanted to try to do small parts in movies I thought I could learn something from. But then this came up.” (Tink: So basically we have David Cronenberg to thank for preventing a devastating, indefinite drought.)

“This” was the role of Eric Packer, a billionaire financial wizard who experiences a professional and personal collapse over one very long car ride across Manhattan in Cronenberg’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s allegorical novel. The way Cronenberg structured the movie – shooting in sequence, often sealing Pattinson and his co-stars into a limousine and directing them remotely – pushed Pattinson to a kind of creative epiphany.

“It takes away a lot of the problems of self-consciousness,” he says. “I did a movie where a lot of it was underwater” (that’d be Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, which put him on the map as doomed golden boy Cedric Diggory), “and it kind of felt a little bit like that. You feel like you have very little to prove when you’re in such a tiny space. There’s very little of the outside world coming in, so it’s pretty simple.”

Cronenberg so enjoyed putting Pattinson through Packer’s paces that he’s eager to repeat the experience, possibly with another member of his repertory company.

“You meet people that you work with and you feel you’d really like to work with them again,” he says. “I felt that way about Rob, and I felt that way, obviously, about Viggo [Mortensen]. And then I started to think, ‘Wow, Rob and Viggo in the same movie would be terrific,’ because I know they’d get along, but I also think creatively, onscreen, it’d be fantastic. But I don’t have a project, exactly; we have some possibilities. So we’re talking about it. It’s possible it’ll never happen, because it’s just so hard to get things made, really – especially anything interesting. That’s sort of where I am, making movies that are hard to get made.” (Tink: GAH. This really needs to happen. Fingers crossed!)

In all seriousness, though, the two do expect to collaborate on another picture.

“We feel that fate will bring us together again,” says Cronenberg.

“I’m setting up a PayPal account,” Pattinson laughs.

“Yes, that’s right,” Cronenberg says. “We’re crowdsourcing. Please, if you’ve got any money on you right now, just put it on the table.” (Tink: They're joking but they should do this. Can you imagine? Rob sets up a PayPal account and wow. Watch the fandom money flow in. I know I'd finance anything for Rob. I'll sell the farm and my kidney. Anything for Rob. *wink*)
