NEW INTERVIEW: "He's A Really Nice Person, And He's Fun To Be Around" ~ Robert Pattinson On David Cronenberg

NEW INTERVIEW: "He's A Really Nice Person, And He's Fun To Be Around" ~ Robert Pattinson On David Cronenberg

Well we all know how well Rob & David get on. In this interview with Free people he chats about working with David again on Maps To The Stars, jokes about how his next limo movie will see him being run over by one and working as part of an ensemble.

TORONTO -- For Robert Pattinson, working with a director like David Cronenberg is an emphatic departure from the Twilight world of brooding, sexy vampires.

But then again, the English actor's role in Maps to the Stars does represent a certain redundancy. He is again placed in a limousine, where he spent almost the entirety of Cronenberg's Cosmopolis as a billionaire financier on a slow road to ruin. This time, Pattinson is in the driver's seat as a Hollywood wannabe actor-screenwriter, who at one point is contemplating joining the Church of Scientology "as a career move."

The Free Press spoke with Pattinson about Round 2 with Cronenberg:

FP: So, again with the limo sex?

RP: Yeah, it's weird. Apparently, Cosmopolis was just the audition for this one. I'm thinking that's what I'm going to use as my head shot: me leaning out of the limo window.

FP: David Cronenberg likes to use certain actors, such as Viggo Mortensen and Jeremy Irons, more than once. Do you have to have a certain rapport to be a member of that club?

RP: I think it was just luck at the beginning. I really get on with him. He's a really nice person, and he's fun to be around. I did consider that he likes to use the same cast for years and years, so that's my welfare cheque.

 

FP: It must be gratifying that he sees you playing roles as different as a solitary, somewhat unhinged billionaire in Cosmopolis and as a hungry Hollywood wannabe in Maps to the Stars.

RP: Very different characters, yes, but both in limos and both in black suits. That's got to be the through line. I'm thinking in the next one, I'm going to be run over by a limo.

FP: You live in Los Angeles, so do you recognize the reality of this movie?

RP: Definitely. Some of the characters seem to be archetypes, but I've met a lot of them. I remember certain scenes, like the scenes with all the young actors when they're all bitching about each other. That really reminded me of when I first started coming to L.A., before camera phones, when you would go to nightclubs and there would be really famous 15-year-olds and you could see them openly drinking and it was so weird. There was like a different set of rules. But now it's not the same anymore, because kids in bars get found out immediately. But I remember coming from England and seeing that, because I was still not being let into clubs in England when I was 20 and here, there were kids drinking!

FP: Are you more comfortable in an ensemble as opposed to carrying the movie as in Cosmopolis?

RP: On something like this, there's obviously a lot less pressure, so I like it a lot. When you don't have to drive the movie forward, it's not as hard a decision to make.

We aren't the only ones that would make a case for Robert Pattinson to get a Best Supporting Actor nomination

We aren't the only ones that would make a case for Robert Pattinson to get a Best Supporting Actor nomination 



I've tried to remain as objective as possible and I really do feel like a strong case could have been made for Rob receiving supporting actor recognition in The Rover. That race isn't as hotly contested right now as other categories and it would have been awesome to see Rob campaigning for a role he was exceptional in. This article popped up and echoed many of our sentiments around these parts. If you've followed The Rover Reviews on the blog, you know Rob's performance as Rey was widely applauded. From the Latin Post:

Oscars 2015 Predictions: Why "Twilight" Star Robert Pattinson Should Be Nominated for Best Supporting Actor This Year

The Academy Awards race is heating up with many front runner contenders. However, a number of categories are still up for grabs and a number of films have been ignored throughout despite great reviews and artistic achievements. 

One of these films is "The Rover" by David Michod. Back in 2010, the director made a splash at the Sundance Film Festival with his film "Animal Kingdom." The movie went on to get an Oscar nomination for Jacki Weaver and the director became sought-after.However, when "The Rover" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this past summer, reviews were positive but buzz was low. 

When it premiered in theaters, A24 failed to really give it a decent marketing campaign and the box office results were not very good."The Rover's" results essentially ended any aspirations of an Oscar campaign, but now that pundits have noted that Supporting Actor race is empty, A24 should focus its energies on campaigning Robert Pattinson's masterful performance for the Academy Award race. 

Latin Post raved about his performance and stated, "Pattinson is unrecognizable" and "unsettling."Other critics agreed with the Toronto Star stating, "This minimalist gem affords a chance to see ex-Twilight star Robert Pattinson at his dramatic best." 

Pattinson may be young for the Academy to recognize, but his work is astonishing and the fact that he was able to crossover from mainstream films to Indie art house films shows his commitment to his craft.

Click HERE to continue reading. Major award nominations are pretty much out of the question since there isn't going to be a campaign for The Rover. We'll keep a lookout though for potential accolades in critics corners similar to Best of Cosmopolis 2012. After all, they were the ones that praised Rob's work so profusely.
