"Robert Pattinson Really Delivers On Set" ~ Anton Corbijn

"Robert Pattinson Really Delivers On Set" ~ Anton Corbijn

RTÉ Ten (Ireland) spoke to Anton Corbijn about Life and asked him about the first time Rob and Dane read together. Check out his answer below in an excerpt from the interview.

I also liked what the site had to say about the movie:
"You may already know more about legendary photographer-turned-director Anton Corbijn's new film than you realise. Have you ever seen that iconic 1960 photo of James Dean walking in the rain in Times Square? Well, the picture was taken by a man named Dennis Stock, and the story of it, and his friendship with the soon-to-be-huge star, is touchingly told in Life.

With two excellent performances from Robert Pattinson as Stock and Dane DeHaan as Dean, Life is Corbijn's most uplifting film to date, with the era so lovingly and beautifully recreated that your time with his two leading men will probably feel all too short. "

The first time you had Robert and Dane read together could you feel the electricity straight away?

They're very different actors, you know? They come in very different ways to the set or to rehearsals. That made me feel really great because they are very different characters in the film. Dane is very prepared – he prepared for months – Rob seems to be less prepared but then on set he really delivers. But in rehearsals he sort of takes it in. He's very intuitive in his approach and it worked really well, whereas Dane is much more studied.

They share this video of a part of the Q&A that took place after the screening, it's Anton Corbijn, the director, talking about Rob.It's so wonderful to hear him talk with so much respect about Rob and his professional choices: not going for the paycheck roles, but for roles that are interesting for him as an actor. Also Anton explains why he thinks Rob was perfect for the role of Dennis Stock.Thanks Glo!

Robert Pattinson's Interview With Neon Magazine (Germany) (FULL Translation Added)

Robert Pattinson's Interview With Neon Magazine (Germany) (FULL Translation Added)

German magazine 'Neon' gave a taster of a new interview with Rob that's featured in their magazine which will be available in a few days time.
Looks like it'll be an interesting one. Looking forward to reading the full thing, which of course we'll pop up for you as soon as it's available ;)

Any guesses as to what he tried out "on the sly"? Maybe something in the music field? A spot of Directing? Or maybe he wrote a Screenplay? The possibilities are endless with Rob.

Robert Pattinson (29) doesn’t want to be a Hollywood-actor only anymore – as he told Neon Magazine: “I’d like to do something aside from acting, in a field that I’ll have better control over. Last year I’ve tried various things on the sly, but I´m not going to talk about it, otherwise it will not work out!”
The glamorous Hollywood-scene is not for him, he tells Neon: “Of course there are these events where a bunch of dressed up girls hangs out. But you’d have to be a complete idiot to hook up with one of them – imagine someone sleeping with you simply because you´re famous? Women wanting to sell their time with a celebrity and running with the story to the next tabloid.”
Robert Pattinson will be in cinemas next with the movie “Life” September 24th.
Neon Magazine will be on stands September 7th.

PRINT INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson Talks James Dean & 'Life' To 'The Sydney Morning Herald'

PRINT INTERVIEW: Robert Pattinson Talks James Dean & 'Life' To 'The Sydney Morning Herald'

With Life hitting Australian cinemas on Sept 10th 'The Sydney Morning Herald' published this interview with Rob, Dane & Anton. It's a good read, grab a coffee, get comfortable and check it out.


When the actor James Dean died in a car crash in 1955, the second and defining film in his short career – Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without a Cause – had just come out. Dean was 24.

East of Eden had put him on the map earlier that year; Giant was in the works. In retrospect, three films doesn't seem much of a basis for what Dean was about to become: the embodiment of a generation's bohemian disaffection with their parents' post-war world. Fact was, however, they didn't come any cooler than Jimmy Dean. They still don't.

You can see that in the clutch of photographs taken of Dean for Life magazine by ambitious young Magnum newcomer Dennis Stock.

It was Stock who took the photograph that would grace millions of teenage bedroom walls in the decades to come, a photograph familiar even to people who don't know who Dean was: Dean with his collar turned up against the wind in wintry Times Square.

It is that photograph that forms a kind of backdrop for Anton Corbijn's new film Life, which traces the brief relationship between Stock and his equally ambitious subject.

Any actor would show due trepidation before agreeing to play James Dean, not just because of his hallowed status but because it would be so easy to slip unawares into mumbling, fidgeting parody.

Dane DeHaan, who is most familiar as Green Goblin in the recent Spider-Man films, kept saying no.

"I didn't really think I could do it. Then I had a meeting with Ian Canning, the producer, and he explained to me how for him it wasn't simply a movie about James Dean, it was a movie about how a normal person could be turned into an idol. Which I think is a really interesting topic."

DeHaan felt some kinship with Dean, whom he describes as "a really bull-headed, uncompromising artist, pretty mistrusting of the world around him."

From the start, as Corbijn shows, Dean was at loggerheads with the studio heads; Ben Kingsley does a spectacular turn as studio mogul Jack Warner, telling Dean exactly how much of a rebel he wants him to be.

"I know what that's like, although I have a different take on it," DeHaan says. "I don't let it get to me as much as he does. When I made this film, it was right before the press tour for Spider-Man. There was this looming sense of what was going to happen, in the same way as before East of Eden came out."

Stock was a slick but snitchy character who, having walked out on his wife and a son in whom he felt no interest, was desperate for validation as a photographic artist.

Robert Pattinson, the former Twilight heart-throb who plays Stock, watched taped of interviews of Stock that were recorded when he was in his late 70s.

"He had all these resentments still, all these things he envies James Dean about, all these chips on his shoulder all still very evident," Pattinson says. "In his eyes, someone like James Dean is just living freely and doing whatever he wants, he's the artist he wants to be. It's crazy, but I related to it. He's a kind of tragic figure."

You might think that if Pattinson related to anyone it would be the heart-throb star, who is portrayed in Australian Luke Davies' script as being only too well aware that his image is being manipulated.

Not at all, Pattinson says: playing Dean didn't interest him. "I don't know if I've had like a James Dean thing. For one thing people were really looking at James Dean like a leader. Young people, both girls and guys, saying, 'Tell us how to live. It looks like you know the secrets!' Well, I don't think anyone has ever looked at me like that."

And, for another thing, Dean had a vision of his future that he knew was being deliberately thwarted.

"In this movie, he is already disillusioned and disappointed," Pattinson says. "Whereas when all that stuff was happening to me, it was kind of exciting and fun because I had no idea what was going on … I felt like there was a door in front of me left open and you could just keep pushing the door with no idea of what was on the other side. I was just curious. I didn't realise until years later that you can't turn any of it off: the door has slammed behind you."

Corbijn is now 60, as old as the Stock pictures; his life overlapped with Dean's by just five months.

He was (and is) a hugely influential still photographer of rock musicians before he broke into the film world with his striking biopic of Joy Division's Ian Curtis, Control, in 2007.

For him, he says, the Times Square picture of Jimmy Dean is "like jazz". "It is a symbol of the change in society, the emergence of rock'n'roll and a generation who wanted to own their own time, who wanted a life that was not their parents' lives." It was always, he says, about "more than just James Dean".

A new foreign press interview with Robert Pattinson to promote the upcoming European release of Life.  The original interview was published in German from Waz-Online.de . The translation below is with thanks to @Inthejungle83 because you know how much we all love Google translate!

The interview notes that during "Twilight" Robert Pattinson was in the spotlight on the red carpet and is now leaving the teen heartthrob status behind.   "now he is barely recognizable. He stirred honey into the coffee, giggles and hiding his face behind a beard."

New Robert Pattinson interview now translated

The new Robert Pattinson interview with Jolie magazine has been translated.  We posted the quotes here but the full interview has now been translated. 

 image host

Bye-bye, vampire! The Briton has an appetite for new roles. But do not worry: he is as sexy as ever Curly hair, bedroom eyes and a couple of three-day stubble on his face - as shown in the photo on the right, that’s how you know Robert Pattinson. But to the interview in Berlin, he appears with a handsome hipster beard. An attempt to escape the Twilight fans undetected? No, laughs the 29-year-old, the beard is for his new movie The Childhood of a Leader. And says: -We are just through with the shooting, but maybe I leave the beard for a while. Somehow I like it…. This days , however, Robert is on the screen as clean-shaven as in his best vampire days to see. And that even twice: on the side of Nicole Kidman in Werner Herzog’s desert epos queen of the desert and as a photographer of James Dean in Life.

Jolie: Your new films have nothing to do with the Twilight- romances, with which you got famous. How difficult was it to leave the old Edward behind him?

Robert Pattinson: Very difficult. But So I’ve expected it. My agent had then warned me that it would certainly take a decade until I could take the next step in my career. And I’m afraid he was right. Now seven years have passed, and I realize now that my life is slowly changing a bit. This frustrating feeling of having somehow lost control and just trying to stay afloat in the hustle and bustle, is thankfully gone. And not for nothing I look now for completely different films.

Has it been no fun at all to be a teen idol?

Yes, of course. That was all incredibly exciting. most amazing was the year between the end of filming and the theatrical release of the first Twilight film. I was able to enjoy photo shoots and travel because no one knew me then . And when it really started , even that was not only exhausting. Suddenly I came in clubs where the doorman had sent me away half a year ago . Also, I was luckily already 21, so not so young that the excitement would have derail me. And I could even drink alcohol in the US!

How did you manage it, not to loose the ground?

I’ve always had the feeling of having to prove myself as an actor, as a star, as a human being. This might have kept me more on the ground. Although I have often wished I had a bigger ego - then I might have been able to enjoy the bustle a bit more.

Do you have a lack of self-confidence?

Well, someone who voluntarily stands in front of a camera needs to have a bit self-confidence. Nevertheless, I am also shy. And a little control freak. Not the best combination for an actor, because the control has indeed the director …

Since the beginning of the year you’re engaged with your girlfriend FKA twigs. Can you also imagine to become a father?

In any case, although I still do not know when. Therefore, I was so attracted by the role in LIFE. At my age, you do not get so many chances to play a father - and certainly not one who leaves his family in the lurch. Personally I imagine it different, of course.

Could it be difficult for a child to grow up with such a famous father?

I don’t think so .. Sure I will have a child who is totally cool and confident. He or she will probably look at me every day and think to yourself: Actually Why is this guy such a funny, quirky oddball?

NEW Translated interview with Robert Pattinson for Life

New interview with Robert Pattinson for Life

image host

A new Italian interview with Robert Pattinson about his role in Life, has been published in the newspaper Corriere della Serra.  It's a translated interview and so the accuracy may not be the best.  An excerpt of the translation is copied below:

“To set myself free from the Twilight saga, I agreed to be the co-star in Life”, says the actor who plays the star’s photographer who died 60 years ago.

“Twilight? I am proud to have been a part of it. I am no longer forced to pursue a job as I did before Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The fame sprung after that still puts me at ease, also on the economic side, to select only the projects I believe in. And Life is the proof of that.”

Q: What effect did it have on you to be the photographer and not the subject of the pictures for once?
“I realized how much it may be difficult to deal with a star. When you’re on the red carpet you actually don’t even see the photographers, you move doing some poses, often studied, but you can’t see the faces, you only see the flashes. Of course, it wasn’t easy for a photographer of that time, as well as certainly it isn’t today. However, Dean was able to keep his private life enough hidden. It was a different era, but there wasn’t less greed to know the intimate details of his daily life than nowadays.”

Q: Idol of the young generation, beautiful, certainly not a “bad boy”, but still quite with a dark charm: when you got the script, did you think you would be the right one for the role of James Dean?
“I think one might think of it, but it wouldn’t be the right choice for both the good of the character as well as for me. They would start the comparisons, I would be accused of presumption and then, perhaps, I would not be able to give that little extra that instead DeHaan managed to do. From my point of view, been able to play Stock and his way of relating to someone so elusive, but in his way charming, magnetic, posed a challenge is even more exciting than to impersonate Dean.”

Q: At the time of that story Stock was 27, he was already a father and he had to struggle between work and family while pursuing his dream of becoming an accomplished photographer: you are almost the same age, 29, you are already famous and you don’t have a family: it seems that there can’t be a more distant character…
“At a first glance yes, but these aren’t the characteristics which most define a person. Both the success and becoming a parent are variables that depend on you, or rather, not only on you. You need luck and find a person who, in addition to love, wants the same things that you want at the time you want them. Stock was like me in the determination to wanting to be an artist, and also in that bit of initial embarrassment that I often feel when I relate myself with someone for the first time.”

Q: Are you a shy person?
“No, but I need some time to open up to anyone.”

Q: Even romantically?
“With anyone, even in love.”

Q: Did you ever fear that the label “the one from that Twilight movie” could negatively affect your future in acting?
“The success of Twilight is something special that I will never regret. Since I started this career I am trying to improve myself, to challenge myself with different roles compared to those I have already interpreted. If in 10 years they will speak of me still just as “the one from Twilight”, the blame will be mine alone.”
