NEW STILL From 'The Childhood Of A Leader' Featuring Robert Pattinson & Producer Helena Danielsson Talks Venice Film Festival

NEW STILL From 'The Childhood Of A Leader' Featuring Robert Pattinson &  Producer Helena Danielsson Talks Venice Film Festival

Check out this great new still from The Childhood of A Leader and an interview with producer  Helena Danielsson where she mentions their hopes to clear the Venice Film Festival.

Prayer circle time....

Translation ~using google translate (Original interview source)

Malmo Producer makes film about the Treaty of Versailles with Robert Pattinson

An English-language feature film with Robert Pattinson is about to end. Soon await the big international film about Greta Garbo. The award-winning film producer Helena Danielsson from Malmö has his eyes fixed far beyond the borders of Sweden.

Helena Danielsson has produced such films as "Svinalängorna", "A Rational" and "The Hidden Child". A few weeks ago she came home to Malmö again after making her first English-language feature film in Budapest. A Budapest would imagine Paris in the early 1900s. Behind the movie "The Childhood of a Leader" stands actor Brady Corbet who now makes his directorial debut. Corbet is for certain known from Michael Haneke's American remake of "Funny Games" and for others from the TV series "24". And anyone who has seen Ruben Östlund "Tourist" has seen Corbet in a small supporting role.

- It is not easy if you are a young American to make a film that takes place in France in 1919. This is his dream project and is about the diplomatic negotiations after the First World War, says Helena Danielsson, who three years ago was awarded the fine producer price in Prix ​​Eurimages is the European equivalent of the Oscar.

She came in in "The Childhood of a Leader" project when the whole film work had stalled and it was difficult to fix financing. For the major US film studios, the film was too small. And while it is difficult to American director to get financing European film funds. Then came Helena Danielsson's experience of co-productions and film financing in as a savior.

- It's a little bit about how to look at problems. I was passionate about the movie and saw that I was able to find ways of financing outside the system. They had to be slick, says Helena Danielsson.

Robert Pattinson of "Twilight" films, Stacy Martin ("Nymphomaniac), Bérénice Bejo (" The Artist) and Liam Cunningham ("Game of Thrones") are some of the stars of the film which is now being cut in Paris. Music Legendary Scott Walker makes the music.

- It is a fantastic mix. We are aiming high and hope that we manage to clear the Venice Film Festival.

Treat this post as a spoiler post especially if the reviews inspire you to gush about how brilliant and nuanced Rob's performance is in The Rover.
On with the Rob-is-freakin-awesome-in-The-Rover show....

James Dranko TV:

Robert Pattinson (Rey) plays the character showpiece of the film. It was obvious from the trailer he was going to be and he does not let down in any kind of way. He makes the screen snap, in every scene he’s in. You can’t take your eyes off Rey for fear of missing a single word he might say or movement he may make. Despite the Twlight series I’ve known the guy could act. I loved “Remember Me” and he proves it in “Cosmopolis” and will continue to do so through a long career. “The Rover” did not have box office success but the industry will take note of his performance. Trust. He will leave Edward Cullen far behind soon enough. Rey had multi-layered characteristics and quirks, he was the most developed of all of the roles. It’s his best performance yet and an Oscar-caliber one by Pattinson.

Marshall and the Movies (A-):

It’s Robert Pattinson’s Rey who makes every moment memorable on the way to the destination. Clad in an oversized T-shirt and baggy jeans the entire film, Pattinson effortlessly conveys how uneasy Rey feels in his own skin. He resists typical tropes of playing half-witted characters, instead providing a deeply humane portrait of a 12-year-old mind trapped in a 28-year-old body. In a film largely about ideas and large themes, Pattinson provides a crucial emotional entry to “The Rover.” He manages to draw out remarkable empathy, both in us and eventually even somewhat in Eric. His minuscule facial motions illuminate a world of internal torment that expresses itself in the simple desire for acceptance and respect. This tender work fulfills all the promise Robert Pattinson showed in “Cosmopolis” and heralds the arrival of a truly great actor whose talents might one day overpower all the tabloid headlines.

Reel Speak:

As good as he is, this show is stolen by Robert Pattinson. His character is a lost soul; dim-witted and maybe even a little mentally challenged…and Pattinson nails it at every turn. He generates sympathy and disgust towards his character all at the same time, and it is a signal to the world that he is ready to shop in the grown-up section.

The Film Rush:

Rey is arguably the single good soul in the movie, a man who only wants to be more than what everyone has told him he is. Robert Pattinson’s performance is a master class in control. All the physical idiosyncrasies could easily have come across as mannered and technical, but Pattinson makes them seem effortless, as if springing from a deep well of damaged psyche. There’s an astonishing scene near the end of the film, as Rey, on the precipice of doing something stupid, sits alone in a car, in the dark, and sings along to a pop song. Does he understand the implications of what he’s about to do? Possibly, although he gives no sign either way—no evidence of nerves, no hint of apprehension. Just a simple action, sweet and childlike in its innocence. It’s a beautiful moment, the calm before a violent storm, and Pattinson hits it perfectly. If there was ever any question that he’s thrown off the shackles of Edward Cullen and matured into a gifted actor, “The Rover” answers it loud and clear.

Spotlight Report:

Whilst Pearce appears to be dead inside, Pattinson’s sweet naivety and loyalty is endearing. He has misplaced hope in a world where there is no place for such luxuries. He plays the role perfectly and flexes acting muscles that have previously lain dormant in the less challenging roles he is known for, capturing the stunning simplicity of his character.

It's Just Movies (9/10):

If Guy Pierce is as good as ever, it is the startling performance by Pattinson that nearly steals the show. Having a track record consisting mostly of profitable teen-age “Twilight Saga” credits, Pattinson had to buck a huge gravitational pull towards the trivial to fill the shoes of the mentally disabled and weak-kneed, but remarkably adaptable and inwardly tough, armed criminal Rey.

Joel On Film:

The second of the great performances--and perhaps the better one, though comparisons are cheap--comes courtesy of Robert Pattinson, who plays Rey. He's Henry's half-wit brother, far from an idiot savant but also not quite an idiot. He has his own reasons for keeping quiet when Eric questions him about his brother's whereabouts. Rey was left behind in that aftermath of that Mexican stand-off, thought dead by Henry and his goons. And, indeed, he's grievously injured (possibly a gunshot to the left of his abdomen). Pattinson is magnetic in his approach to this loose cannon of a character, adopting a seamless Southern American accent and a nervy physicality.

Instareviews:

I must say, I’m extremely impressed with Robert Pattinson. In the years since the last “Twilight” film, he has made a conscious effort to leave behind the teen-heartthrob persona, and take his work as an actor seriously. It shows in this film, he’s by far one of the best things about this film, sure Guy Pearce can play mad/crazy, but this simple-minded victim that Pattinson portrays is far more intricate than the gruffly Pearce character.

Cut Print Film:

It’s the kind of character that could easily be too big, too showy, and lose its authenticity; but Pattinson never crosses that line. He shows us something behind this character’s eyes, a humanity that his counterpart has deeply buried.

The Hodgepodge Podcast:

The real surprise for me was Robert Pattinson as Rey. Rey isn’t Of Mice and Men’s Lennie levels of simple, but it’s clear that he’s not the brightest bulb in the pack and Pattinson plays the part so well. Because of his association with the critically-lambasted Twilight films, there is a belief out there that Pattinson is a bad actor when in reality, the Twilight films are just bad movies. He’s actually quite good and really shines here.

Keepin It Reel:

Holy shit, hands down Best Supporting Actor right now, Robert Pattinson. I never thought I would say this, but he is fantastic in this role! This is the first performance of his that A) I liked and B) the first that I've seen that I just didn't recognize him at all. He disappears into the role and plays it for all it's worth.

Look It's Eugene Abano:

Then we have Pattinson’s portrayal of Rey… my goodness. There’s some great acting going on here, Pattinson really shines (pun intended).

Adammohrbacher:

Amazingly, Pattinson, who has long been the butt of too many a joke, holds his own against Pearce’s patented brand of laconic ferocity. The younger actor perhaps even eclipses him here, if for no other reason than the efficacy of his performance is so surprising. Having long been relegated to roles which capitalize on his looks, Pattinson has steadily continued to push himself as an actor, particularly in recent years as he has attempted to escape the sparkly shadow of Edward Cullen. His Rey is an intriguing creature, appearing initially to be little more than a hapless dolt, but slowly revealing an affecting emotional dependency (on Pearce’s character) but also a hidden capability to survive.

Medium (4/5):

While Pearce’s performance is no real surprise, Pattinson steals the show, proving that he is an actual actor and not the pretty boy that the awful ‘Twilight’ adaptations have made him out to be. Pattinson stammers and twitches as Rey, a character whose thought process is a little bit slower than your average young man, but is still able to convey his feelings through simple sentences and memories. I can’t speak highly enough about the film’s watchability because of these two performances, which leads one to question whether or not the characters are bonding.

At The Picture Show:

It's an exceptional performance from Pearce - there's a controlled sense of madness and anger in him that's fascinating to watch - and Pattinson gives his best performance yet as Eric's somewhat unwilling, and uncertain, companion. The film is at its best when it's a two-hander between Pearce and Pattinson, as their characters - whose understanding of the world could not be more at odds - reconcile the absence of moral order in a world that's left them for dead.

Reel Freak:

Pattinson is probably the most surprising part about The Rover, proving that he deserves a lot more credit as an actor than just “that guy from Twilight”. We saw solid dramatic acting from him previously in movies like Water for Elephants a few years back, but this sets a whole new level of appreciation for his talent. He is able to pull off this sort of simple-man character and pairs up extremely well with Guy Pearce’s character.

Exclaim.ca:

it's Robert Pattinson who steals much of the spotlight in this dystopian crime drama. A couple years removed from his teeny-bopper past and with films like the critically panned Cosmopolis allowing him to flex his post-Edward muscle, Pattinson plays the dumb dirtbag Rey to a tee, complete with loose-fitting pants, limp, shallow stare and penchant for over-played pop songs (one scene finds him mumbling along to Keri Hilson's "Pretty Girl Rock" to great success).

Film Fisher:

Pattinson disappears into the role, revealing a well of talent untapped by the Twilight films. His tics and neuroses feel unaffected, not calculated, and he is able to balance Rey’s cluelessness with an innocent charm while also selling his naked emotional vulnerability.

Beer Movie:

His performance is excellent though and coming nearish enough to a totally different turn in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis (2012) shows he has quite the range.

Destroy The Brain:

Guy Pearce’s gives a scathing performance as the antihero and Pattinson really outdoes himself in his role. One may find it hard to look past his embarrassing association with the Twilight series, but he truly is a talented actor, which he proves one again in The Rover.

Dispenser:

Many would love to push Robert Pattinson into a corner and relegate him to the lover/pretty boy roles that a lesser actor would have done after The Twilight Series (see: Taylor Launder). Pattinson seems to be making a very clear message with his performance in The Rover, he’s come to play. There is a reason that Michod cast Pattinson as the co-lead in this film. Though some would argue it is the financing of said project depended on it (it probably, partially did), I would say it is more than that. Michod saw something in Pattinson. An alley and confidant in the same manner that Pearce was. Pattinson is a revelation as Rey. All detractors can no longer considered the actor, “that guy from the Twilight movies”. There isn’t an ounce of vanity in his performance. What could have been a performance that devolved into a one note joke, is anything but. There’s a sense of confusion and anger that Pattison imbues in Rey that is at once brilliant and subtle choice. The moments that Pearce and Pattinson share (most of the film is the two) that other actors would be swallowed whole. Pattinson proves to be an equally nimble performer as his seasoned co-star. One hopes that Pattison moves in this direction and judging by the directors he has worked with post-Twilight (e.g. David Cronenberg), even if the results are mixed (see: Cosmopolis) his performances are interesting (again see: Cosmopolis).

Gwinnett:

Pattinson does a commendable job moving beyond his sparkly vampire period, especially in a heart-wrenching scene with McNairy

Tiny Mix Tapes:

Robert Pattinson pulls off something miraculous here, imbuing the young man such with delicacy and sweetness that you feel for him even at his lowest moments. It’s a revelatory performance that should hopefully scrub away any lingering doubts about Pattinson’s abilities.

Ain't It Cool:

But the real surprise here is Pattinson, who has certain improved since the TWILIGHT films petered out. He's given a real opportunity with The Rover to dig his fangs into the best role he's ever been given, and he responds in kind with his finest performance to date.

Brightest Young Things:

I must admit, this may be Robert Pattinson’s best role to date; after the Twilight fiasco, he’s proving a capable actor.  While he does well as the glassy eyed businessman in Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, Rey is bursting with character. From his stuttered speech, his many tics, and his ability to veer from pure bravado to utter cowardice, Pattinson does an absolutely fantastic job portraying the slightly off balance (and put off) younger brother. In fact, he easily outshines Guy Pearce in most (if not all) of their scenes together.

Pattinson’s twitchy and overtalkitive acting is a perfect complement to Michôd’s devastating cinematography and soundtrack. The Outback has never looked as desolate as it does during The Rover’s wide shots (this is a harsh landscape like 2005′s The Proposition, also starring Pearce). Likewise, the emptiness and foreboding nature of the wilderness is compounded by Antony Partos’ excellent score.

Movie Fanatic:

The surprise here is Pattinson. He plays an American and nails the accent. He also is a bit slow, and his moments of lack of clarity could have been played formulaic. Instead, it is a revelation of talent from the man who is desperately trying to have audiences take him seriously as something more than Edward Cullen. And he achieves that with this riveter.

We Are Movie Geeks:

Twi-Hards expecting the sparkly, handsome man that they fell in love with as Edward will be sadly disappointed. Instead, they will be greeted by a slow talking, dirty kid who is severely lacking in the IQ department. Having said that, he is phenomenal! Pattinson’s performance surprised me, and left me impressed. He’s making smart film choices, and it shows!

Pearce and Pattinson have an amazing chemistry together, and carry this film in a way that most actors wouldn’t be able to. While neither character is very likable, they somehow manage to make the audience invest in their journey through the incredible Australian landscape. Michôd paints a tonally somber, yet eerily beautiful background for Eric and Rey to exist in.

Toronto Sun:

The Rover is marked by strong performances and a striking creation of atmosphere courtesy cinematographer Natasha Braier and composer Antony Partos (who also did the score for director Michod on Animal Kingdom). The film is oppressive, which makes sense, given its themes, but what's on the screen elicits a visceral response. Expect to be flinching and twitching in your theatre seat.

Ticket:

Shorn of his distinctively luxuriant shock of hair and sporting rotten teeth, Robert Pattison is a far cry from the dreamy heartthrob of “Twilight” fame. The actor has struggled mightily to escape stereotyping. His various choices, as a distractingly moustachioed Salvador Dali in “Little Ashes,” an adulterous animal trainer in “Water for Elephants,” and a limousine-borne executive in David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis,” all proved unfortunate. Pattison’s deglamorized appearance and competent acting in this film may help him to finally be taken seriously.

Crosswalk:

But the surprise is Pattinson. Despite an already successful career in both blockbusters and indies, Pattinson's turn here stands as one of the biggest revelations to hit the screen in quite some time. By immersing himself so deeply into Rey's fragile psyche, with physical ticks that are instinctive rather than calculated, Pattinson completely redefines how we must consider his talent moving forward. The ease of his American southern twang (he's a Brit in real life) is so natural and convincing that, if you weren't the wiser, you'd suspect he'd just been yanked straight out of the hills of Appalachia. After this, it's hard to imagine Pattinson not being able to tackle anything that's thrown at him (dramatically, anyway).

Under The Gun:

Robert Pattinson, and I say this without any hesitation in my words, has finally transcended his Twilight fame to deliver a performance unlike anything he has ever done, and better, too. He plays the cinematic equal of an insecure small child trying to make whomever he is close with proud. A certain music cue about three quarters through the film goes to support this fact as he sings along with one of the most childish pop hits of the past couple of years. That isn’t to downplay his commanding presence though, Pattinson shows that he can act with the best of them and I personally can’t wait to see what he does next. Scoot McNairy (Argo, Monsters, Killing Them Softly) even shows up to play Rey’s criminal brother who is compelling in the scant amount of scenes he is in.

Technology Tell:

As for Pattinson’s performance, a great deal will be made about the fact that he “sullied” himself up and ultimately toned down his hunky nature to play Rey. I agree that the physical transformations he made are pretty impressive and I’ll even admit that the deep south American accent he adopted for the role is equally as remarkable. This unfamiliar territory is nowhere near the teen dream persona he assumed in “Twilight” and its many sequels. So, you WILL be impressed at the range he possesses during his performance in “The Rover.”

Love this.

From LA Times:

"The Rover" is a bleak work, and an uncompromisingly violent one, but it's been made with so much skill that it's hard to get it out of your mind. The second feature film by Australian writer-director David Michod, responsible for the surprise 2010 critical success "Animal Kingdom," it confirms him as an impressive filmmaker with a talent for creating distinctive worlds and depositing us right in the heart of them. 

Set in an economically impoverished future, "The Rover" stars Guy Pearce in a performance of pure controlled ferocity. He plays a man on an implacable, obsessive stop-at-nothing quest to recover his stolen car, with an unrecognizable Robert Pattinson equally strong as a weaker man who gets pulled along in his wake. Tense and remorseless and shot in 100-degrees-plus heat, this is a film that chills the blood as well as the soul.

Lovely shot of Rob from the film released by The Rover Facebook page.

Reddit had a great AMA with David and Guy. Not only did they mention Rob but they answered a couple of our questions too!

Q (This was one of our questions via TheRoverFilm!): David, should I be treating my infected bullet wounds with gasoline now? This is a survival tip I never would have guessed...

David Michôd: i'd get to a hospital pronto

Q: I have read great reviews of this movie both from the Cannes showing as well as in the LA Times. I am a big fan of both of you in the movie Animal Kingdom. Question for both of you one of the big points of interest was the casting of Robert Pattinson in what would definitely be considered an atypical role. For David how did that casting take place and for Guy how was it like working with a teen idol in the hot Australian desert?

Guy Pearce: It was great watching Rob deal with the flies, whilst not having to deal with ANY paparazzi!

Q: David - what drew you to Rob for this project? As a longtime fan of his I've felt like all he ever needed was a great director to guide him and show what he's truly capable of. Where you surprised he had it in him? Obviously you knew he could be good, but were you expecting him to be THAT good?

David Michôd: really simple - i didn't know much about him before he came in and did a beautiful audition for me. it wasn't surprising. it was just really impressive and exhilarating because i could see the movie coming alive.

Q (This was one of our questions via TheRoverFilm!): Guy - what scenes in The Rover stands out as one of your favorites and one of the more challenging scenes to shoot?

Guy Pearce: One of my favorite would be when Rob (Rey) confronts his brother played by Scoot McNairy towards the end of the film. I can't think of what was the most challenging.

Q: Great film! I was curious as to whether either of you thought the relationship between Eric and Rey had any lasting effects on Eric. Or did he just go forward as a solitary man as he was before?

David Michôd: i'd like to think rey had a lasting effect on eric. definitely. what happens to eric after the movie has finished? good question.

Q: David: Given that you filmed The Rover in the desolate, deserted Australian Outback, which scene from the film presented you with the most technical challenges?

David Michôd: ironically the scenes we shot when it rained (in places where it hadn't rained in more than a year) - right in the middle of the scene in which rob and guy buy ammo and fuel, it started raining torrentially - if you've ever been to marree (where we shot the scene), you'll know how surreal that experience was.

Q: Hi David, what was the biggest challenge of directing The Rover and what was the most rewarding moment on set? :) Best of weeks, Lena X

David Michôd: everything is challenging on set. that's what's fun about it. the most rewarding moments involved watching guy and rob bring these characters to life. it always felt beautiful and vulnerable and powerful and special.

Q (This was one of our questions via TheRoverFilm!): David - you said in an interview that you did a few takes of Rob singing a southern, gospel tune he made up in place of Pretty Girl Rock. Would that be something that could show up as DVD special features?

David Michôd: one day it'll rear its little head, i'm sure...
