Cosmopolis Promo Roundup: New Robert Pattinson photos and interview - "Sometimes craziness is a good thing"

Cosmopolis Promo Roundup: New Robert Pattinson photos and interview - "Sometimes craziness is a good thing"

Rob is on George Stroumboulopoulos this evening and the show tweeted a teaser picture to get us excited. As if we aren't excited already for anything with Rob but this picture is too cute.

An article came out from Cannes with new quotes from Rob. They crack me up because I have a really bad cough. It's lingering from a cold I had weeks ago and now I think if I was in a movie with Rob, he'd beat me down. Eek!

From Toronto.com:
CANNES, FRANCE—Robert Pattinson swears he can tell how people are enjoying his movies by how many coughs he hears from the audience. He employed this unique gauge at the May 25 Cannes Film Festival world premiere of Cosmopolis, his new movie directed by David Cronenberg.

“I watched it at the screening last night, but I wasn’t even watching,” Pattinson, 26, tells a roundtable of journalists. “I was just listening for every cough: Please don’t cough! Please don’t cough!(Tink: See! Rob would not be ok with me in his screening.)


He seems awfully nervous for one so successful. He’s the lead star of the Twilight franchise, playing moody vampire Edward Cullen, a role that has made him famous and rich. Pattinson also had a small role in another big film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He’s neither new at this game nor naïve. Could he really suffer from self-doubt?

“Oh, completely,” he says, sucking on a lollipop for sustenance. (Tink: Jesus...)

“I want that the whole time. Even for this screening. I was pissed off about everything, completely worried, incredibly stressful thing. But my manager was like, ‘You’re not happy at all?’ No, no, people are all coughing! They’re coughing because they’re bored!


“It’s f---ing crazy. Coughing! It’s all I can think about. But I like that. You’ve got to burn. As soon as you start thinking you’re good, you’re s--t. So yeah, it’s an annoying way to live, but yeah.” (Tink: note to self - drink Robitussin in the theater if Rob is there.)

He’s equally candid about his doubts whether to accept the lead role of Eric Packer, the 28-year-old billionaire in Cosmopolis who goes off the reservation for a day-long Manhattan odyssey in a white stretch limo.

“It seems complicated on the page (Don DeLillo’s book and Cronenberg’s screenplay), and I thought making the decision whether to do it or not seemed like the only difficult part of it.

“Could I actually do it? I didn’t know. David offered it to me and I didn’t know. I know it’s really good, and it’s Cronenberg, so it’s really cool. But on the other side, you’re in every scene, so if you f--- it up, you f--- up the whole movie.” (Tink: He so didn't f--- it up.)


So here Pattinson is at the Cannes Film Festival, holding court with ink-stained wretches, and actually seeming to enjoy himself while doing so. Maybe it’s because no one is coughing. It helps that his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, his vampire love on-screen and real one off-screen, was also in Cannes, presenting her own new film, On the Road. The two walked the red carpet together. Pattinson hasn’t always been this wound up. He got that way after Twilight launched millions of teen sighs — and shivers.

“Yeah, because no one cared before (Twilight). It’s easier now to sell things to people, but afterwards, it’s weird. If everyone thinks something is good, you’re the one who thinks it’s s--t. If everyone is saying it’s bad, you’re like, ‘That’s the only time you think it’s good. You’re the only one that thinks it.’”

These feelings were intensified for him at Cannes, because Cosmopolis was competing for the Palme d’Or, the fest’s top prize (it didn’t win).

“Normally you wait for reviews or whatever, but when you’re presenting it to a (potentially) hostile audience, it’s crazy. Not knowing the whole time whether or not people will boo . . . and you have to sit there. I was talking to David before the screening, asking him, ‘Instead of an ovation, could they do a 20-minute booing thing?’” (Tink: Forever cute. Forever paranoid.)

Cronenberg calmed him down. But the director obviously picked the right man to play Eric Packer, who doesn’t seem to know how to relax. He’s constantly in full fidget, even while sitting stock still in his limo. Pattinson realizes this, and it’s why he liked the role.

“There’s a constant energy there. You want chaos to happen. He doesn’t know the answers. It’s like a really young adolescent thing: There has to be something else! The longer you hold on to that, it gets crazier and crazier. Sometimes craziness is a good thing.” (Tink: Sometimes...*side-eyes some crazy people*)


Except when people are coughing.
The next thing we have is 4 older stills now in HQ! This pleases me because just look at him...

Robert Pattinson Will Not “Kill Your Friends”

Robert Pattinson Will Not “Kill Your Friends”

So as we warned you earlier today when we told you about "The Sun's" story about Rob, take it with a grain of salt.

Gossip Cop have once again cleared up the rumours!

Are prostitutes and drug abuse in Robert Pattinson’s future?

Only if you believe a report from The Sun, which claims the “Twilight” star is “lobbying for a leading role which will see him Hoover up more drugs than PETE DOHERTY and AMY WINEHOUSE combined, sleep with scores of prostitutes and get away with a blood-curdling murder.”

According to the paper, Pattinson would like to star in a big-screen adaptation of the novel, “Kill Your Friends,” about a completely depraved record label guy.

“It’s an incredibly adult character and is bound to shock the tweens who account for such a huge part of Rob’s fan base,” says a so-called “source.”

Nevertheless, the source says, “[Pattinson] is fascinated by the music industry and is keen to get involved in the project… He’s already approached producers telling them he wants to play the leading man.”

Really?

No.

A source close to Pattinson tells Gossip Cop there has “not even [been] a passing conversation” about the actor starring in “Kill Your Friends.”

Story “killed.”

Thanks to Crystal for the tip!

Robert Pattinson as Kurt Cobain!

Take this story with a HUGE pinch of salt... it is from The Sun after all. I'm sure Gossip Cop will be pouncing on this very soon. I would like to see him act with Scarlett - but not in this!

Edited 4/9 to add: Thanks to Gossip Cop who stepped up to debunk - see the bottom of this post!

ROBERT PATTINSON has landed his dream film role - playing KURT COBAIN in a Hollywood biopic.

The Twilight star has always thought of himself as a musician rather than an actor, he even reckons his guitar is his best friend.

So securing a part playing the tragic NIRVANA genius, who shot himself in 1994, is ideal for the pin-up.

R-Patz has been in regular contact with Kurt's widow COURTNEY LOVE, who has been handed a key role in the production by bosses at Universal Pictures.

The HOLE singer wanted R-Patz as Kurt and SCARLETT JOHANSSON to portray her. My graphics team have mocked up Rob and Scarlett as the hellraising pair.

A source said: "This is a big money deal for Courtney.

"She has agreed to the film on condition that she gets to decide the main aspects of the project including director, casting, screenplay and music.

"Robert has been calling and emailing her non-stop. She has been a bit wound up by his manners, but he is her number one choice to play Kurt." (Kat: In her dreams this has been happening)

"She is adamant Scarlett will play her. Scarlett is friendly with FRANCES BEAN, her daughter with Kurt." (Kat: Well of course, wouldn't we all choose someone, erm... slightly more attractive, to play us in a movie?)

Courtney has been in touch with director DAVID FINCHER about the project, which has the working title All Apologies.

He was behind Fight Club, Se7en and The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.

It's not the first time a studio have tried to make a film about Nirvana, who had hits with Come As You Are and Smells Like Teen Spirit.

A few years ago Sony Pictures were told to sling their hook by Courtney when they floated the idea of ZAC EFRON as Kurt, while Frances Bean would play her mum.

I have to say, the 14-year-old in me was a little bit sick when I found out a Twilight vampire was playing a rock idol.

But at least it's an improvement on the man lined up to play Kurt in the West End - Footballers' Wives star GARY LUCY.

FROM Gossip Cop this morning

Is Robert Pattinson going from fanging to head banging?

The Sun raised eyebrows EVERYWHERE this morning with a report that Pattinson “has landed his dream film role — playing Kurt Cobain in a Hollywood biopic.” Noting that Pattinson “has always thought of himself as a musician rather than an actor,” the paper says “securing a part” as the late Cobain “is ideal for the pin-up.”

A hero of the grunge rock scene with Nirvana, Cobain killed himself in 1994.

According to the Sun story, Pattinson was so determined to play the part, he vigorously lobbied Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, who supposedly wants Scarlett Johansson to portray her in the project.

The paper’s “source” claims Pattinson “has been calling and emailing [Love] non-stop,” and that he is “her number one choice to play Kurt.”

So did the Sun score a big casting scoop?

Not to be “curt,” but no.

The rumor is just plain wrong. A source close to Pattinson tells Gossip Cop there is “no accuracy” to today’s report.

Nevermind.

Gossip Cop as usual ROCK!



Robert Pattinson and His Yellow Shirt on "The Sun"

The Sun talks about how tired Robert Pattinson looked after he landed in London. In my opinion he looked pretty damn amazing after his second transatlantic flight in a week and nonstop promotions... But then again I am ROBsessed :)



Thanks to Thesabstar1

Robert Pattinson Bears His Soul to The Sun? Yeah Probably NOT

The Sun says Robert Pattinson admitted his "alleged" relationship to Kristen Stewart at the BAFTA bash. Yeah, I don't need Rob's reps to tell me this is complete B.S. Rob going to The Sun , a tabloid, and admitting anything is like Barack Obama bearing his soul to Rush Limbaugh...not gonna happen :)




From The Sun:

SORRY girls, but ROBERT PATTINSON has admitted for the first time that he and hisTwilight co-star KRISTEN STEWART are an item.

The mystery of their relationship status has been driving fans of the vampire saga loopy.

Brit actor Robert carried on with the secrecy at Sunday's Bafta bash - then admitted they were a couple at the post-do dinner.

The pair at first went to ludicrous lengths to avoid being seen together by devoted fans.

They arrived separately and did not sit together during the ceremony at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.

But as soon as they were out of the glare of the public, they were all over each other.

According to Robert the cloak-and-dagger stuff is just to avoid attention.

He said: "It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.

"We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible. We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy.

"We have to do all this stuff to avoid attention."

Kristen, who picked up the Orange Rising Star award, arrived at the dinner with six security guards.

Not even PRINCE WILLIAM had that much protection.

Once inside the afterparty Robert and Kristen - whose next Twilight movie, Eclipse, is out in July - couldn't get enough of each other.

They were snapped leaving the do, which was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, at around midnight.

Robert headed to the gongs from shooting movie Bel Ami with UMA THURMAN.

He said: "A load of us came straight here. It feels like a work night out.

"The film is going well. I play a French journalist in 19th Century Paris.

"The problem is I have to leave for work again at 6.30am."

I can't help feeling a bit sorry for Kristen - who was partying in London again last night, this time at the Elle Style Awards - and Robert.

They are obviously smitten but feel they have to hide it from the world.

Thanks to Brooke and Khrissa for the link :)

The Robert Pattinson drought is over...

So angry, grizzly Rob ends the drought and the mother in me thinks both he and Lizzy should have more layers on.





WITH his new beard, it looks like ROBERT PATTINSON is fast turning from a vampire into a werewolf.

The Twilight star gave his fans something else to Robsess over as he sported the new face fuzz on a post-Christmas day out with his sister LIZZY in Barnes, South-West London.

RPatz once admitted that until he was 12 his sis used to dress him up as a girl and introduce him to pals as Claudia.

He said: "Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel."
