INTERVIEW: “I Thought It Was Hilarious, And It Was Sort Of Dangerous" ~ Robert Pattinson On The 'Maps To The Stars' Script

INTERVIEW: “I Thought It Was Hilarious, And It Was Sort Of Dangerous" ~ Robert Pattinson On The 'Maps To The Stars' Script

Rob chatted to MSN at TIFF and spoke about the Maps To The Stars script, working with Mia Wasikowska and more.

As a freelance entertainment journalist/writer/hack you can tell how valuable an actor’s time is – at least to the studio offering him up for interview – by the amount of time you are given with him. Other factors include how many people he has around him and whether or not you are asked not to ask any personal questions.

In the case of Robert Pattinson, he is pretty valuable. While I am not asked to refrain from personal inquiries – the publicists know I don’t go in for that s*** – the former star of the Twilight series is having his time here at TIFF divvied into four-minute increments, such is the demand.

The movie Pattinson is here to promote is Maps to the Stars. It is his second film with Canadian director David Cronenberg after 2012’s Cosmopolis. He was the lead in that film but has a secondary role in Maps, playing Jerome, a Hollywood limo driver with screenwriting ambitions. Mia Wasikowska (Only Lovers Left Alive) plays Agatha, a disfigured young woman with a secret connection to a high-powered Hollywood family, who employs Jerome to drive her around.

Maps to the Stars is written by Bruce Wagner. A former actor who co-starred with Maps co-star John Cusack in 1986’s One Crazy Summer, Wagner has gone on to become a respected novelist and screenwriter. He also used to work as a limo driver, making him, for all intents and purposes, some version of Jerome.

“I thought it was hilarious, and it was sort of dangerous,” Pattinson says of Wagner’s screenplay. “I quite liked the fact that - and David liked it as well - he’s this kind, genial, academic man. And then seeing the script, upon two pages of it, it’s so savage and jokes which you really don’t know how they are going to land at all or could have walk-outs quite easily. I just love feeling David’s glee with that.”

Pattinson says he only met Wagner after he had shot “quite a lot of stuff” on the film, which shot in Toronto and Los Angeles.

“But then I sort of talked to David about it because it’s a strange part. On the page he’s kind of a cipher for Bruce and almost a blank on the page. So I didn’t really want to reveal my ignorance.”

As for former model Wasikowska, Pattinson says he has known her “for a really long time, and I’ve seen a lot of her stuff as well. I think she’s a really amazing actress.

“But it’s funny, though. She’s gotten a lot more confident. I don’t know if that’s bad to say, but just seeing her be so funny… And I don’t know. There’s something different that I’ve seen in her that I didn’t realize that it works really well with her personality and skill-set.”

Pattinson will next be seen in Queen of the Desert, a biography of early 20th century explorer Gertrude Bell, played in the film by Nicole Kidman. Pattinson co-stars as Col T.E. Lawrence, a part first essayed by the late Peter O’Toole in 1962’s Lawrence of Arabia. The movie is directed by German legend Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Rescue Dawn).

Asked about his criteria for picking roles these days, Pattinson admits: “Yeah, I basically have some weird insecurity issues. So I want to take as little as a gamble as possible when doing my jobs. So I basically just try to work with extremely prodigious auteurs, and that’s kind of been my only decision-making process.”

As for screenwriting limo drivers, Pattinson says he has been accosted by several.

“I actually have a few times. Multiple times… Many, many times. Even here!” he says, laughing.

“What do you do?” I ask.

“I always take it,” he says. “I can rip them off later!”

A 2 second Masterclass The Master Himself With Robert Pattinson

Well a 2 second Masterclass With Robert Pattinson is a bit short for my liking.
I think a 2 DAY class needed, preferably on a remote island with no way home.......sigh........... oh hang on what was the masterclass about again? Oh yes the Edward Cullen stare from the master himself

If you want to achieve the Edward Cullen stare (or as Rob says) the constipated slightly stoned look then watch below

From movies.uk.msn.com

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One is here and MSN Movies was lucky enough to catch up with heartthrob Robert Pattinson while he was in London.

Mr Pattinson was infinitely better-looking in the flesh (yes, that's possible) and really lovely. Absolutely no airs and graces at all and he was happy to answer fan questions. He even gave us a bit of an insight into the secret of being Edward Cullen. It's all in the eyes, literally.

Random interview observation: Before the cameras started rolling we chatted to Rob about tea. He confessed he always 'drinks too much coffee', but has started really enjoying a good, old cuppa. We loved the fact that he was casually dressed in jeans and a shirt witha grey hoodie beside him.

Robert Pattinson Talks About His Most Embarrassing Scene In "Water For Elephants"

Ever wondered which scene in "Water For Elephants" Robert Pattinson found the most embarrassing?
SO did MSN so they asked him.

MSN (Germany) Interview With Robert Pattinson

Our Reader Susanne found this interview on German MSN and translated it for us!



Anemic, always ready to bite - and incredibly sexy. Robert Pattinson
(23) is currently England's hottest Hollywood export. With only one
role, lovestruck vampire Edward, Pattinson advanced to be a worldwide
heartthrob.

An end to the hype? Not in sight. On the contrary: The third part of
the Twilight-Saga, "Eclipse", will stir pubertal fan hormones even
more.

Thankfully, the Londoner has done some other movies in between. One of
them is the romantic drama "Remember Me". Robert is playing messed up
teenager Tyler, whose soul life has been suffering since the divorce of
his parents.
When Tyler falls in love with cool Ally (Emilie de Ravin from "Lost"),
he is enjoying life again. Even when Allys Cop-Daddy opposes him.

MSN: Tyler Hawkins is not only not dead. He is completely different
from Edward Cullen...

RP: Somehow I seem to be only playing freaks, fantasy figures or guys
in costume movies. Tyler was finally just a normal man, not too plain
or simple, but with a multi-faceted personality. That was the main
reason why I wanted to play him. Ultimately, it was easier to play
him. I could finally follow my instincts and improvise. First, I
wanted to orientate the character on my own character. But that was
just too complicated. If I play a vampire like Edward Cullen, I can´t
really improvise.
