"I Really Think He's A Terrific Actor. He's Extremely Inventive"- David Croneberg Talks About Robert Pattinson

With the release of "Cosmopolis" on DVD & BluRay there have been several interviews with David Cronenberg. Here's one from The Playlist where David talks about Robert Pattinson starring in "Cosmopolis" (& of course has only good things to say ;-)), "Maps To The Stars" & more

David Cronenberg says Robert Pattinson surprises him as an actor, just like Viggo Mortensen.

Many wondered if how "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson and director David Cronenberg would mesh, particularly on a project as talky as "Cosmpolis," which requires a confident and compelling leading man. But as it turns out, Cronenberg had a great time working with the young actor and has nothing but praise for the rising star.

"I really think he's a terrific actor. He's extremely inventive. He surprised me every day on 'Cosmopolis' with the nuances and things that he did which were unexpected. Of course I was very familiar with the dialogue and yet he would surprise me," Cronenberg enthused. "And I thought, this is a guy who I would like to work with some more, which is how I felt with Viggo Mortensen. When you find an actor who surprises you everyday, you figure, he could do it some more with a completely different role in a completely different movie."

David Cronenberg is excited to make "Map To The Stars" his first film shot in the United States.

While it's still coming together, should it all work out, Cronenberg will get to work in May on "Map To The Stars," a new film that will reunite him with Pattinson and Mortensen, (Kate: Or NOT as we found out yesterday HERE) and also feature Rachel Weisz.  And believe it or not, for the first time in the four-decade-plus-long career of the director, he will be shooting in the United States.

"It's kind of a satire on Hollywood. It's very typical of Bruce Wagner's writing. And it's sort of a condensed essence of Bruce. And while it's satirical, it's also very powerful, emotionally, and insightful and funny," he explained about the movie. "And it would be the first time I've ever shot a foot of film in the United States. It's strange, just because of the way the co-production deals work, that even though I've had movies that are set in the U.S. like 'Cosmopolis' or 'The Dead Zone,' I've never shot in the United States. This would be the first time. And I'm really excited about it.

Viggo Mortensen out of Robert Pattinson's Maps To The Stars? David Cronenberg says possibly...

Viggo Mortensen out of Robert Pattinson's Maps To The Stars? David Cronenberg says possibly...



David Cronenberg has been talking to several outlets about Cosmopolis because of the US Bluray/DVD release and mentioned a couple of things about Maps To The Stars.

First, he told Movieline that filming is still on target for May if everything goes according to plan.

Movieline: Is your next project ready to go? 
Cronenberg: Finishing my novel right now, and I hope to be shooting Maps of the Stars in May, written by Bruce Wagner. However, it is an indie project which means, therefore, that it could fall apart.

But he also says this is an indie film and things change...such as this excerpt from Details online magazine:

DETAILS: Maps to the Stars is supposed to start shooting in May. Have you been able to sign Robert Pattinson, Viggo Mortensen, and Rachel Weisz? 
DAVID CRONENBERG: I don't think Viggo will be able to do it, but with the other two, so far, so good. Have they signed? No. But they have a verbal commitment if everything works out and if other things don't come along. It's still very possible for the three of them, but it's far from certain. That's life in the indie film world. 

Hmmmm....so Viggo is more likely out than in BUT could be in since things change everyday. We'll keep you posted!

The Fashion Court names Robert Pattinson's style number 1 of 20 stars that stood out in 2012

The Fashion Court selected the top 20 stars that stood out the most among others in 2012 and guess who made number 1???



Excerpt from CJ:

Never have I been so confident in my top choice of stylish star as I am with Robert Pattinson. While many have focused on the ladies of the year, it was this English actor who stood out the most to me. Last year when Robert was the runner up to Ryan Gosling’s #1 spot under my “Male Suspects” category, I mentioned that I wanted him to take chances with his suits like ‘The Gos’ did. In 2012 Mr. Pattinson did just that—and he soared.

365 Days of Robert Pattinson: Jan. 1 ~ Future Rob Film That Excites You

365 Days of Robert Pattinson: Jan. 1 ~ Future Rob Film That Excites You



All three of us were in sync for the first 365DoR!


Kate:

Well…….if I’m honest they all excite me. I guess “The Rover” would be my initial choice but I’m not sure if that’s mainly because it’s the first one on Rob’s schedule for this year. And then I’m SUPER excited about “Maps to the Stars” too (if it happens) because it’s Robenberg again can’t WAIT for that. Ugh this is harder than I thought (what are the next 364 gonna be like?) RIGHT going with the first thing that came into my head “THE ROVER” is my choice, going with this one because we know SO little about it, the cast is brilliant and I saw “Animal Kingdom” over Christmas and I liked what I saw! There…..done ;-)) 

Tink:

this is crazy hard because im so excited for all of Rob’s upcoming films: The Rover because he’s working with a fresh and talented filmmaker and the role was something he said wasn’t easy to come by. he’ll be playing more of a “character” than he normally does. Hold On To Me because the role is probably the most purposely sexy of all of them and the story is great. it’s a minor role but a significant one. Queen of the Desert because he’s taking on the challenge again of playing a real person and the period and story excite me. Maps To The Stars because of David Cronenberg. Mission: Blacklist because it’s the only film with Rob as the lead and the story is completely fascinating. Rob is working with amazing directors for each role and his co-stars are some of the best in the business.  

saying all that, i’ll choose The Rover as the film i’m looking forward to the most but only because it’s the one i know the least about. we tend to be more intrigued by the unknown sometimes. that’s the only way i could decide for this day.

Kat:

Excited for The Rover most I think... starting #365DoR off with a tough one. I doubt any will be easy though!!

Yeah that was a tough one because I know we're all pretty excited for Rob to get back to filming and filming all that he is. Did you guys see Dec. 31st on the list? We'll see how much difference a year makes. :)
Share your thoughts and we'll see you with tomorrow with 365DoR!
