Last month we posted some partial Production Notes for The Rover but now we have the full production notes for you and there are some great quotes from Rob plus loads more info on the movie.

We have the full notes after the cut along with a download link for you and you can also download the UHQ of the poster above. Here are some excerpts from the notes:

David on auditioning Rob:
Working with Casting Director Kirsty McGregor, and Lava Bear’s President of Production Tory Metzger, Michôd spent a lot of time reviewing the work of various actors, so by the time he auditioned Robert Pattinson he had worked out what he wanted for the character of Rey. Michôd had never seen a Twilight film and wasn’t overly familiar with Pattinson, but upon meeting together in LA, and after his audition Pattinson quickly became his favourite for the role. Recalls Michôd: “His performance in the tests was really great and real and moving. What I also liked about him was that it was really quite evident to me from our first conversation that he really wanted to do it.”
The Story and it's Primary characters:
 photo TheRovergif12.gif
The story is a seemingly simple one; it follows the physical journey of the two main characters, Eric (PEARCE) and Rey (PATTINSON), as they embark on a road trip to find Rey’s older brother Henry (MCNAIRY). But the subtle plot gives reign to the emotional development of the characters, and this can be seen predominantly through the union of Eric and Rey. Their journey together becomes an intensely emotional one, as the unlikely acquaintances are forced to deal with their own inner turmoil. The film’s setting is full of people forming some kind of pairing in order to survive and Eric and Rey will join them.
Guy & Rob talk about Eric & Rey:

 photo TheRovergif2.gifPearce explains: “We certainly see initially how vulnerable Rey is in the world, particularly as he’s injured and he’s been left behind by his brother. Eric really has no interest… he has not one iota of compassion for this kid. He purely is using him to get back what he needs.” So the two men are forced to stick together out of necessity.
 

Pattinson describes Rey as “a dependant who has been protected by people his entire life, but he has also burdened them, and he thinks that he can’t really live as an independent person. He’s a little slow, and very, very needy, and he feels like he needs people to look after him all the time.”
Throughout the film, there are several developments that progress Eric and Rey’s emotional journey. 


 photo TheRovergif16.gif Pearce says, “Eric finds some sparks of life and love, ultimately through Rey, that don’t necessarily wake him up and change him or give him any sense of hope or positivity, but they kind of confuse him because he’s lived for so long now in a very depressed state… We see the power shift a little bit, and we actually see that Eric starts to feel something for this kid, and that is not good for Eric. He hasn’t felt anything for anybody for 10 years or so, so it becomes a really complex scenario for him.”

 Excerpt from Maps To The Stars production notes:

 photo tumblr_n41e3sJ1zO1ql8r0ko4_r1_250.gif

THE LIMO DRIVER 

“Plus we’re both dual - disorder ” 

When Agatha Weiss returns to Los Angeles, she makes an instant connection with the first person she encounters: her limo driver, a would - be screenwriter who chauffeurs the far more successful, and who becomes increasingly entangled in her larger - than - life drama.

Taking the role of Jerome is leading star Robert Pattinson, who wanted to work with Cronenberg again on the heels of taking the lead role in Cosmopolis (coincidentally, Pattinson played a billionaire who is a limo passenger throughout that film.)

 photo tumblr_n41e3sJ1zO1ql8r0ko5_r1_250.gifHe was one of the first cast members to sign on, which Martin Katz says helped buoy the project. “Robert’s enthusiasm for Maps to the Stars is one of the things that really got us underway. Jerome is not a large role but it’s very significant in the story and his joining the cast gave us a terrific amount of momentum,” recalls the producer. “In a sense he is playing Bruce Wagner, who was himself at one time a limo driver and unemployed writer.”

Cronenberg was thrilled to reunite with Pattinson, and in such a different kind of role. “I think Rob was really happy to be part of an ensemble,” he says. “But Jerome is also a critical character, a lovely character and it was a chance for Rob to give a more naturalistic performance. I knew he would be fabulous and he was.”

Pattinson’s experience working on Cosmopolis with Cronenberg was so profound that he agreed to the role of Jerome before reading the script. But when he finally sat down to read it, he recalls, “Within two pages I was thinking wow, this is so unbelievably different and hilarious. I don't even know what people are going to make of this, but it feels dangerous. It’s sort of satirical but it’s also a ghost story and it’s also a kind of thriller. It defies genre.”

He came to see Maps To The Stars as more than just another L.A. story. “It’s really about 10 people who lie to themselves – right up until the end,” he summarizes.

Yet within all that, Pattinson sees Jerome as the most ordinary of the film’s roster of outrageously deluded and desperate characters -- typical of a certain kind of everyday L.A. dreamer, a regular guy with a regular job who nevertheless always believes h e is just one move away from becoming a major actor and writer.

 photo Crazy.gif“Jerome would never accept that he is just a limo driver. I think he feels he’s just waiting for his break,” Pattinson observes. “And yet, he’s seemingly the only one in this story who's not going insane -- or who isn’t a ghost. He's a fairly normal guy, which is slightly odd for me, as well.”

Working with his fellow cast members was another big draw for Pattinson. Of Julianne Moore, he says: “She’s hilarious and also very sane, which is kind of ironic given who Havana Segrand is. And she shifts so subtly into character, you barely notice what she is doing. It’s kind of amazing.”

He worked most closely with Mia Wasikowska as Agatha, who comes to rely on Jerome as her sole friend in the city. “I knew Mia was going to be wonderful in this,” he says. “She’s so lovely that it was horrible for me to watch Agatha be bullied by her entire family.”

 photo Bows.gifFor Cronenberg, the chance to work with cast members like Pattinson and Gadon multiple times is one of the most gratifying aspects of his career. “It's really beautiful for me to see that blossoming and the evolution of actors as I work with them, ” he concludes.

....

The Italian website FilmTV.it  has published the production notes for both The Rover & Maps to The Stars. Below are translations of the notes which I think you'll agree make for interesting reading. They shed a little more light on the plots and main characters of both films without giving away any spoilers ;)

“THE ROVER: THE CONSEQUENCES OF ECONOMIC COLLAPSE IN A NEAR FUTURE

Directed by David Michôd and based on a story written by the director himself paired with Joel Edgerton, The Rover is set in Australia a decade after the collapse of the western economy, in a context in which the mines are still active and have attracted men more desperate and dangerous and where survival is a daily struggle. The protagonist of the story is Eric, a drifter who has left everything behind and who is full of anger at the theft by a gang of his car, the only thing he had left. His only chance of finding the car is given by Rey, one of the Mebra band which was abandoned after being injured. Forced by circumstances, the two men will pair up for a trip that no one could have predicted the outcome.

Here is a taster (obviously I'm only including the parts where Rob is mentioned)

CASTING

David Cronenberg and long-time collaborator, casting director Deirdre Bowen, have
assembled a remarkable cast, with talent from America, Canada, England, and France. The
script is character-driven—much of the plot involves short, intense encounters between the
protagonist and the secondary characters. The dialogue is central and often demanding.
Eric Packer’s personality and psychological journey unfolds in a series of close interactions
with the people of the cosmopolis—his employees, lovers and enemies. Choosing the lead
actor was crucial, of course, and because the rest of cast would have to work briefly but
intimately with the lead, supporting roles also required strong casting.

“Casting is a black art,” proclaims David Cronenberg. “You can kill your movie by making a
mistake before you’ve even shot film.” When Robert Pattinson’s name was proposed for the
lead role of Packer, Cronenberg watched much of his work—including the young actor’s role
as Salvador Dali in Little Ashes—and he was sold: “Rob was the most interesting and
exciting actor suggested for COSMOPOLIS, and I knew that he would bring something
wonderful to the screen—maybe even something he didn’t know he had.” (Kate: I think I love this man. Second to Rob of course ;-})
Under David’s direction, Robert delivers an edgy, understated performance. In fact, Robert notes that he
has never felt “utilized to this degree as an actor,” and fellow cast member Paul Giamatti
describes Robert’s casting as “genius.” (Kate: Couldn't agree more!)

Robert Pattinson quotes and more from the Water For Elephants Production Notes

Before you jump into reading these great production notes from Water For Elephants - please note there are some spoilers! Don't click on the thumbnails if you want to stay spoiler free...

My favourite paragraph from the whole thing is this one...... the images it brings to mind are beautiful.

Photobucket

Anyone else jealous of an elephant right now? I want to hunt for treats on Robert Pattinson's person!

Some more un-spoilerish quotes:

Rob on the book: Someone sent me the book, and I immediately connected to it.

Rob on the screenplay: Somehow, it seemed like Francis and Richard had added even more to the story. (Kat: which makes me even more excited to see this movie if that's possible!)

Francis Lawrence on Robert: I thought Robert WAS Jacob Jankowski. It was difficult to find a young man of age 23 or 24 who didn't seem too young for the part. Rob was already a man. He is thoughtful, intelligent, empathetic, strong, and confident. (Kat: Rob has yet another fan - Mr. Lawrence is a smart man!)

Robert Pattinson on his character, Jacob Jankowski: Jacob is mysterious and quiet; he's an observer. He's always watching people and he has an intuitive relationship with animals, and a deep understanding of human nature.
