Robsessed Awards: Robert Pattinson's Best Non-Fandom Supporter Of 2014
We know you love Rob, we know we love Rob.... but throughout the year we've also found out who else loves Rob and he's very loveable it seems. Just love that directors and fellow actors always have such nice things to say.
David Cronenberg ~ Speaking to THR ahead of Saturday night's New York Film Festival
screening of Maps, Cronenberg explained that he wanted to work with
Pattinson on this movie
not only because the director thinks of him as "a wonderful actor" and
they "had a good time on Cosmopolis," but also because it provided the
opportunity for Pattinson to participate in the sort of ensemble film
he'd told Cronenberg he wanted to do. Click on the pic below to read more
David Michod ~"I had always thought he was some angular, super good-looking brooding guy, then I met him and he was way more interesting than that. He wasn’t
just a pretty boy. He had a really interesting face. He was
interestingly awkward. And clearly very bright."

Guy Pearce ~ "On the second day he was doing the scene where he falls out of the
truck and he's sitting there bleeding and I was watching it on the
monitor. I looked at David and said, 'Wow, he's really good, isn't he?'
What he was offering up with regard to the power shifts between us meant
I had such great stuff to work with."

Julianne Moore ~ "Robert Pattinson is one of those people whose affect is so
dissimilar to who he is. He has this gorgeous face and he seems like
he’s going to be very remote and very serious. But he’s not. He’s
incredibly chatty, fun, and smart."

Anton Corbijn ~ "Rob is of course a film star, but he likes to be seen as an actor, so he
works very hard to be an actor and be valued as an actor."
Click on the pic below to read more Josh Horowitz ~ If we're honest, I'd say Josh is a little Robsessed and we love him for it. He's always on top of what Rob's up to and who can forget the 30 minute interview from earlier this year?
Click on the pic below to read more Werner Herzog ~ "He is a smart man and the choice was quite natural."
Click on the pic below to read more Brady Corbet ~ "I've known Rob for years, and I've been a big fan of Rob's and I've really liked the decisions he's made. He's used his celebrity in a very, very intelligent way."

There they are, your nominees in this category. And remember, you only
get one vote per category and the polls close at midnight (ET) on December 31st
'Rob Really Wants To Prove Himself & For Me That Was Great For That Role' ~ Anton Corbijn Talks About Robert Pattinson & 'Life'
In an interview with Dazed Anton Corbijn spoke about Rob's character Dennis Stock in Life and casting Rob for the role.
Here's an excerpt from the interview:
In your films you've portrayed talented men who burn out young – Ian Curtis in Control, and now James Dean and photographer Dennis Stock. Are you interested in the myth-making process that happens around these guys?
Anton Corbijn: If anything, it's unmasking because I always bring it down to very normal life. In photography I can imagine that people think I make images iconic, but with films I don't think that's the case. The film with James Dean is actually about the photographer. He's the lead role, they just share screen time. I had a similar experience when I was young in Holland. I became the photographer of somebody who became the biggest rock star we ever had there (Herman Brood), so it was interesting to see how that balance works when I thought I was helping him and he probably thought he was helping me. It's the same with this story.
Was it an easy process casting Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan in your upcoming film Life?
Anton Corbijn: Dane didn't want to take a meeting with me initially, as he couldn't see himself in James Dean's shoes. But he was persuaded by a mutual friend, and said yes in the end. He's fabulous, a very good actor. Rob was interested in the film because he really wants to prove himself and for me that was great for that role. If you look at the roles he's taking on – like the ones with Cronenberg – he really wants to do very different, non-mainstream films and get out of that pigeonhole.
NEW PICS: Robert Pattinson behind-the-scenes as Dennis Stock filming LIFE!
These are great! One of the photographers for LIFE posted pics for the film on her website. A few included shots of Rob that will keep us buzzing for his next lead role.
Director Anton Corbijn is in the photos and the last shot included screenwriter, Luke Davies. These were taken during filming in Los Angeles at the Chateau Marmont. Click HERE to visit our LIFE blog and see more pics.
I believe you said you’d make three films and then evaluate from there, and “Life” is your fourth film. Yeah and for the first three films I made a book about the films because I also [thought they were] going to be my last films. It’s just snapshots with some lighting. But for the fourth film I decided not to do it anymore, so I don’t feel it’s my last film.
That’s interesting there’s no book, just because “Life” has a photography component, with Dennis Stock.I know, and it’s always in the back of your mind because you have the camera ready if there’s a picture I can take anywhere. But you should actually concentrate on other things. And with “Life,” we shot it in the winter in New York and Toronto, and it was the worst winter in 30 years. I have very low blood pressure so I can’t touch these things.
In “Life,” Dane DeHaan will be playing James Dean. How difficult was it to cast someone in that role?It was difficult. Also I think for the actors it’s very difficult to step in his shoes. But Dane DeHaan plays it well. He’s a tremendous actor. I don’t think he wanted to do it initially. He wouldn’t take a meeting with me because he didn’t want to be persuaded. But luckily he came to me and he was persuaded. He’s amazing.
He’s great in “Kill Your Darlings.”Yeah, and “Place Beyond the Pines.” I haven’t seen “Spider-Man [2].” “Lawless” I have seen. And he’s in “Devil’s Knot” and “Life After Beth.” I haven’t seen that. I was in Sundance but I didn’t manage to see a single film.
What about Robert Pattinson’s work in the movie?Rob and Dan very different kind of actors. They’re very, very different kind of people in the film, so it was fantastic. They were so different naturally. For Rob to play a photographer is quite interesting because he’s being chased by photographers all the time. Rob is of course a film star, but he likes to be seen as an actor, so he works very hard to be an actor and be valued as an actor. And in the film he plays this photographer who wants to be seen as a great photographer. So I think there’s a parallel there that’s helpful.
He’s made a lot of interesting acting choices, “Cosmopolis”…...Yeah, “The Rover.” I hear that “Map to the Stars” is a really great film. I am looking forward to seeing it.
I was hoping to see “Life” announced as part of the TIFF 2014 lineup. Yeah, I was hoping that too, but we are too far from finishing, because we finished [shooting] in late October.
Will we see it at on the fall festival circuit anywhere?I reckon it will be 2015.
I'm so so so looking forward to this film in 2015. SO looking forward.
Anton Corbijn Talks 'Life' & Confirms A 2015 Release
Anton Corbijn was interviewed by CraveOnline where he spoke about how being a photographer the story of Life interested him and also confirmed that Life would release in 2015.
Life wasn’t part of the TIFF announcement this morning, is there potential for a 2014 release? No, that’ll be 2015. We haven’t locked picture yet. We still have two more months of sound and [potential] pick-up shoots.
In
your background in photography, you’ve photographed numerous icons.
Your first film, Control, was a portrait of the iconic Ian Curtis
(singer for Joy Division), who died very young. I guess now we’ve
confirmed that next year, you have a film that involves James Dean (to
be played by Dane DeHaan) in Life. Who also died very young. Is it more
difficult to capture an iconic photograph of an individual in life, or
to tell their story in death?
I’m flattered that people
think my pictures are iconic. That’s not what I set out to be. A lot of
people that I worked with in the 70s and 80s were not very well known
people, but they became [well known] later. So I’ve not deliberately
sought icons. As far as making films for Ian Curtis and James Dean, that
is, of course, is very deliberate. Ian Curtis was someone that I knew
and I moved to England to make it because I wanted to make it. It was a
personal project. And, also, I thought there was a good love story there
(between Sam Riley and Samantha Morton). With Life it’s first and
foremost a story about a photographer, Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson),
who profiled James Dean (DeHaan). So it’s the story of a photographer
and their subject. As a photographer that story interested me: studying
the power balance between a photographer and their subject. You know,
who influences who? The James Dean portion of the story wasn’t my
interest. In fact I’d turned down a straight James Dean project once
before.
