Werner Herzog calls Robert Pattinson a "wonderful, fine actor" and has respect for Twilight

Werner Herzog calls Robert Pattinson a "wonderful, fine actor" and has respect for Twilight

It's been quite the day for a Rob praise parade! The Rover is receiving rave reviews out of Cannes from the first press screening. Catch up HERE. And David Michôd was again applauding on Rob for his performance and skills. Click HERE to read.

Now we have Werner Herzog speaking with The Playlist and he briefly mentioned Rob. It was brief but it carried a punch. Excerpt:

Herzog claims that cinema has “a very unique way” of dealing with the vampire myth, and while his high esteem for Kinski’s legacy has barred him from considering most future iterations, a surprising exception is the “Twilight” series of films. His reaction? “Not that bad, I was surprised to find.”  

“We have to take it seriously that there are films out there that know how to address a 14 or 15-year-old,” he added. “This is a very special sort of approach and I couldn't do it, yet these films could. I see that much of it is silly but at the same time I respect these films. And I just worked with one of the actors, Robert Pattinson [in Herzog’s upcoming ‘Queen of the Desert’], and he's a wonderful, fine actor. He's clearly stepping out of these roles that make the teenies screech.”

Directors continue to really step up to the plate for Rob.

Media Reviews & Reactions To Cannes Press Screening Of 'The Rover'

UPDATE: More greatness added! Scroll down and read it all. This edit is from the official account for The Rover. Bet they're feeling pretty great too. :))



The Rover had it's press screen in Cannes this morning and the media reviews and reactions have been coming out hot and heavy.
Here's a little round-up (updating all the time so keep checking back)...........

Variety:

"Pearce is fiercely impressive here as a man who gave up on the human race even before the latest round of calamities, and if there are occasional glimpses of the kinder, gentler man he might once have been, we are more frequently privy to his savage survival instincts. But it’s Pattinson who turns out to be the film’s greatest surprise, sporting a convincing Southern accent and bringing an understated dignity to a role that might easily have been milked for cheap sentimental effects."

The Hollywood Reporter:

Pattinson delivers a performance that, despite the character’s own limitations, becomes more interesting as the film moves along, suggesting that the young actor might indeed be capable of offbeat character work. But always commanding attention at the film’s center is Pearce, who, under a taciturn demeanor, gives Eric all the cold-hearted remorselessness of a classic Western or film noir anti-hero who refuses to die before exacting vengeance for an unpardonable crime.

Little White Lies:

"Performances are pitched just right between hard-bitten and mournful. Guy Pierce, as all know, has stoically grizzled down to a fine art, while Pattinson manages his new non-heart-throb ground (the make-up team have wrought merry hell on his teeth) with admirable pathos. His limp, hick accent, facial tics and staccato delivery play second, third, fourth and fifth fiddle to a whole lot of heart, and one that Eric cannot help but fall for."

The Playlist:

"Pearce is reliably riveting as the totally stonefaced Man With No Name Except Maybe Eric, and Michod exploits his charisma for all its worth in the many extended takes of his inscrutable, unreadable mien, while Pattinson, who we were initially worried might be too tic-laden to fully convince, actually turns in a performance that manages to be more affecting than affected."

Popsugar:

"Pearce is the center of the film and a forceful presence as usual, but Pattinson puts in a formidable and truly transformative performance all his own. Rey is an unattractive character in an unattractive world, with rotten teeth, a bad haircut, and an off-putting, twitchy demeanor, but there's no sense that Pattinson did any of this in a superficial effort to ugly himself up and distance himself from his heartthrob image. If anything, the role should stand as proof to any doubters that with the right director and the freedom to break free of his own public persona, Pattinson has real ability and magnetism on screen."

The Evening Standard:

Guy Pearce is ferociously compelling and Robert Pattison surprisingly good too, putting his teen-roles behind him more conclusively than any of his contemporaries.

How are you Bobby? LOL

"He’s A Great Actor & I Wouldn’t Have Cast Him Otherwise" ~ David Michod Talks Robert Pattinson & 'The Rover' To ScreenDaily

"He’s A Great Actor & I Wouldn’t Have Cast Him Otherwise" ~ David Michod Talks Robert Pattinson & 'The Rover' To ScreenDaily

Screendaily spoke to director David Michod about the challenges of shooting The Rover, the punishing conditions they worked under, if he had any concerns about casting Robert Pattinson & more!

Why did you want to tell this story?

I wanted to tell a story about the effect today’s pathological greed and rampant resource exploitation might have on desperate people in some dark future manifestation of the world as we currently know it.

I wanted to throw together a murderous, resentful Australian man and a naïve American kid - a man who has witnessed the world fall apart and a kid who knows nothing other than things as they are, a kid who in different circumstances might just simply be looking for a girl to fall in love with in the next town, but who instead, here, is struggling just to stay alive.

Is this desert specifically Australia or could it be anywhere?

It felt like this story was specific to the Australian desert, specific to the last decade or more of the Australian resources boom, which saw the Australian economy basically propped up almost entirely by us digging up monumental amounts of dirt to fuel the growth of China and Asia more generally.

The world of the movie is one in which a catastrophic Western economic collapse has relegated Australia to the status of resource-rich Third World country - with all the violence and danger that entails.

Both Animal Kingdom and The Rover are full of menace and have a strong sense of place. Do you associate Australia with menace?

I associate Australia with both incredible beauty and incredible menace. It’s a landscape, a vast emptiness, that inspires both awe and terror. It does for me anyway.

How concerned were you about casting Robert Pattinson - an actor best known as the face of a teen franchise - in one of the two lead roles? Did his performance surprise you?

I loved the idea of it. I knew, even from my first meeting with him, before I even knew that The Rover was going to be my next film, that Rob had something far more interesting to offer than his work to date would suggest. And the prospect of giving a very recognisable performer the opportunity to do something right outside the parameters of people’s general expectations is exciting.

Rob didn’t exactly surprise me because I knew he could do what I was asking him to do - he’s a great actor and I wouldn’t have cast him otherwise. I’m pretty sure, however, that everyone else is going to be surprised by his performance because it’s about as far away from everything he’s done before as you can get.

How punishing were the conditions during shoot?

They were punishing. When we did our tech recce the week before the shoot we found ourselves standing around in 50 degrees Celsius temperatures. It was scary and dangerous. Fortunately, when we started shooting, the temperatures dropped down to around 43 degrees Celsius, which compared to 50 feels like a cool change. The conditions were tough, but it’s worth it - you can feel the conditions in every pore and nook and cranny of the movie.

What were the biggest challenges for you during the production?

Distance and isolation were the biggest challenges. Travelling an hour or more to and from set every day, getting gear into difficult locations, and getting 35mm exposed rushes out. Everything’s dirty and nobody’s phone works. These are all things that make the experience special, though, too.
