'He Was Lovely & I Was So Impressed With What He Did In The Film" ~ Guy Pearce On Robert Pattinson In 'The Rover'

High praise indeed coming from Guy Pearce.

Guy sat down with The Daily Beast in Cannes and spoke about The Rover, Robert Pattinson& more.
Here's the snippet where he talks about Rob and the relationship between Eric and Rey.

Your uneasy relationship with Robert Pattinson jump-starts the narrative.

Yeah, he was lovely and I was so impressed with what he did in the film. I was touched by the vulnerability of his character. He’s almost like a little kid or a vulnerable animal that needs to be looked after. You can’t help but empathize with him. And then it meant that I knew the power that I, as Eric, could exert over him—even in the few first moments when I speak to him. I just let him know that he means nothing to me. I guess I’m trying to deny what he does mean to me and I end up having to take him with me to find his brother. I just have to let him know that he means nothing to me, personally. It’s a way of him asking if we can connect and me more or less responding “absolutely no way.”

There’s almost a sort of Of Mice and Men dynamic between the two of you.

That’s right, particularly because of his Southern accent.

Robert Pattinson Has Donated His Road Bike To The Royal Flying Doctor Service

Robert Pattinson Has Donated His Road Bike To The Royal Flying Doctor Service

I KNOW you all remember the pics we got of Rob riding his bike when he was Down Under filming The Rover last year.
Well now it has been revealed that Rob has donated said bike to the Royal Flying Doctor Service who are going to auction it to raise money.
He is THE BEST!



Check out all the details and more about the service below.  



From FlyingDoctor.org

Hollywood superstar Robert Pattinson has donated his road bike to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Robert became aware of the vital emergency medical and essential primary healthcare services the RFDS provides to people living in the outback during his time filming the “The Rover” in Marree, on South Australia's Birdsville Track.

In addition to its 21 bases across Australia, the RFDS operates the Marree Health Service, which provides an outpatient nursing service, home visiting service and 24-hour medical consultations to pastoralists and tourists to the region.

The TREK Madone 3.1 WSD bicycle, valued at $2,000 RRP, will be auctioned at the ‘Wings for Life’ Gala Ball, The Bazaar Ball, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday 31 May.

While the popular ‘Wings for Life’ Gala Ball is already sold out, the RFDS is able to take pre-bids to purchase the bicycle at the live auction on behalf of any interested parties not attending the event itself. All expressions of interest to do so will need to be received by the RFDS and secured with a deposit by COB Thursday 29 May, 2014.

Interested parties must contact the RFDS on 08 8238 3333 during office hours or if you are dialling internationally 011 61 8 8238 3333. Enquiries can be emailed to social@flyingdoctor.org.au.

Importantly, all funds raised at the ‘Wings for Life’ Gala Ball will benefit the RFDS capital-raising program for the replacement of its medically-equipped aircraft – at a cost of $6 million each. Our ‘flying intensive care’ units are used to conduct an average of 15 aeromedical evacuations every day throughout South Australia alone every day – more than 100 across the country Australia every day.

'The Sydney Morning Herald' Talk To Robert Pattinson & David Michod

'The Sydney Morning Herald' Talk To Robert Pattinson & David Michod

This is a really good interview with David Michod and Robert Pattinson talking about The Rover.
You can read ALL of David's interview over HERE but you'll find the part where David talks about Rob and Rob's interview in the excerpt below.

The story began as an exploration of the relationship between characters – only gradually did Michod begin to delineate their world. ‘‘This is ... a version of Australia – perhaps representative of a larger Western world – that has broken down," he says. "There’s still an infrastructure, there’s still a society, but everything’s a bit broken, a bit loose. There are still families, people trying to make a living, but you get the feeling there is violence bubbling under the surface, in a way that’s far more palpable.’’

Within that environment, two contrasting characters meet and join forces – for reasons that only gradually become clear. Michod wrote one of the roles with one of his Animal Kingdom stars in mind: Guy Pearce. Pattinson, however, was far from his thoughts until they had an unrelated meeting in Los Angeles.

‘‘I like to meet actors, and I like to meet actors whose work I’m not necessarily familiar with,’’ Michod says. He had never seen any of the Twilight films, the hugely successful vampire romance franchise that made Pattinson a household name and a paparazzi target. ‘‘But I heard a couple of people say that he’s interesting.’’ When they met, he found Pattinson ‘‘very smart and not the sort of pretty boy I was expecting’’.

Talking to Pattinson, in the final stages of the shoot, it is clear he was more than enthusiastic. He was already aware of the members of Blue-Tongue and had seen several of the films. ‘‘I like the way they work together and keep it quite tight. It reminded me of me and my friends, and I knew it was the kind of environment I wanted to work in – with a bunch of young people who were ambitious."

What's more, he loved Animal Kingdom.When The Rover came his way, he was in.

‘‘It was such a startlingly original script. When I read it, I thought, this is one of those parts where you think, 'I’d love to do this, but I know I’m not going to get it.'’’ He did a couple of tests in Michod’s Los Angeles house. ‘‘They were exhausting, they were about three hours long, but it was kind of fun. I liked the way he worked in the audition. Normally, they’re such horrible experiences.’’

Pattinson's character, Rey, is an American. He and his brother have come to Australia to work, but have fallen on hard times. He is naive and trusting ‘‘in a really strange way. He was brought up to believe he’s not capable of being independent. [He is] someone who has always been looked after and he has taken it with him into adulthood.’’

So when he loses contact with his brother at the beginning of the film, he is stranded. ‘‘He grabs onto the first person who comes along’’ – and this happens to be Pearce’s character, who has an ulterior motive for joining forces. ‘‘No matter how he gets treated, Rey just wants to please him. There’s something so strange and disturbing about the whole relationship.’’

Did British GQ just call Robert Pattinson the King Of Cannes? Why yes they did!

ALL HAIL HIS MAJESTY!!!



British GQ has been on a complimentary sprees this week regarding Rob's fashion choices at Cannes! Check out their comments:

• "Most Stylish Men Of The Week - Robert Pattinson's continuing reign as menswear king of Cannes..."
• "Why is Pattinson the current king of Cannes? His casual game is just as good as his black tie one, as excellently exemplified here in Dior."
• "Most Stylish Men Of Cannes - From the red carpet return of Ryan Gosling to Robert Pattinson dressing like a true leading man, we bring you all the menswear moves that mattered at this year's Cannes Film Festival..."
• "Our best ‘black tie’ in show: this black tux/navy shirt combination (courtesy of Dior Homme) is a superb curveball that just works."
• "However he’s not just a master of out-of-the-box black tie, Pattinson can also do the classics. The whole look, again from Dior Homme, is spot-on from the self-tied bow to the tan to the patent lace-ups. Pearce is giving him a run for his money when it comes to best black tie though..."
• "In the summer a colourful, unlined blazer is every man’s friend in the summer: not only will it keep you warm if it gets chilly, but it will also add a burst of brightness to any outfit after sundown - especially if you go for green like this Marni iteration."

LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG MAY HE REIGN! 

Thanks for the tip, Rotem! xx

Evan Bird from Maps To The Stars compliments Robert Pattinson - "He's a really down to earth guy, but he's a huge star.

I loved this little mention from Evan Bird!



Excerpt from Indiewire:

Evan Bird: A lot of actors my age, they're doing it either to become famous or rich. It's not about that. It shouldn't be. When it is about that, you're not going to be successful. Most people that are succesful appreciate it for an artistic value. You need to enjoy it. You should have no other reason to do it. Of course you make good money, and that's because everyone loves movies. I mean look at Robert Pattinson. He's a really down to earth guy, but he's a huge star.

Huge star indeed.

Video: Juliette Binoche On Robert Pattinson & That Sex Scene

We saw Julianne Moore giving Robert Pattinson a perfect 10 on Le Grand Journal  when asked how she rated his 'limo sex'.
Now watch how Juliette Binoche reacted when she was shown the Press Conference footage with Rob's response ;)
Starts at 9:02.

Le Grand Journal du 22/05/14 - Part. 2 Avec Juliette Binoche et Asia Argento

Translation (thanks to PattinsonArtwork)

Antoine: Listen to what this big boor said at the press conference: (extract from the MTTS press conference)

Antoine: This is the time of revenge

Juliette: No I remember we started the scene, because I only shot 3 days on the film, and it began with me sitting on him, if you know what I mean, if you saw the movie, I just turned around and I told him: By the way my name is Juliette

Antoine: (Bonjour monsieur!) Hello sir!

Juliette: Hello!
