Guy Pearce shared some great personal photos and spoke about working on The Rover with Robert Pattinson & David Michod on his personal website.
Take a look below and read what Guy had to say.........

Aww The Three Amigos



Hello smiley Rob, we see you!



From Guy Pearce's Website:

"2013: This was a pretty quiet year, work-wise. Having said that, I did do one of the most intense films I’ve ever done – David Michod’s “The Rover” (Jan – March) with Rob Pattinson. Personally, I think the film’s amazing. David’s a unique director and the film is extremely evocative. (...) The Rover was a fascinating project and it was unreal to work with David again after Animal Kingdom. Great to see Rob in action too. His performance is utterly brilliant and heartbreaking."

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson's best performance was in Cosmopolis...no wait...The Rover...

Torture Tuesday: Robert Pattinson's best performance was in Cosmopolis...no wait...The Rover...

PJ recently did a Blast From The Past about Rob's rave reviews for his performance in Cosmopolis.

It got me thinking....thinking evil things....


Oh yes...it's Tuesday which means why not have a little torture???

Since Twilight ended, Rob has had 2 pretty substantial roles (substantial meaning lead or co-lead) that received much praise - Eric Packer in Cosmopolis and Rey in The Rover....so....which performance do you think was the best???



This might seem easy to some but is it really? IS IT???
I actually know which one I'd pick but I've had time to ponder. Now it's your time to ponder...

Here it is...your moment of Robert Pattinson

Here it is...your moment of Robert Pattinson

Even more bigger is better ... portraits of Robert Pattinson from The Rover promo

More better quality portraits of Robert Pattinson.  This time from 'The Rover' Promo in London in 2014. The portraits are by Ian Gavan and even better in better quality.

Regarding Rob's performance in The Rover:

"The part is a breakthrough performance for the actor who brandishes a convincing Southern accent and reveals a depth of emotion in what is one of the most skillfully interiorized and physically nuanced performances of the year, and if the film had been seen by more people, certainly merits awards nominations."

Martin Koolhoven Talks About Robert Pattinson Joining 'Brimstone' Cast & Praises His Performance In 'The Rover'

Martin Koolhoven the director of Brimstone was interviewed on Dutch Radio station KRO on Feb 9th and spoke about Rob joining the cast, briefly about his role in the movie & more



Thanks to @RobsPromotionTeam for translating the Rob parts of the interview.

Translation

Question: How did you get Pattinson to join?
Koolhoven: That goes through an agency. I was watching some movies Guy Pearce was in and last year he was in THE ROVER and Pattinson was in there too. So I happened to stumble on that and I fell for that role. It is completely different from his role in Brimstone, but I thought he was really good.

Question: What will he be doing exactly in your movie?
Koolhoven: He will play an outlaw and I'm not going to say more than that. It's a secret.

Question: And all Pattinson fans love you now?
Koolhoven: Yes ha ha ha last night things went crazy and Twitter exploded. People started to talk to me from all over the world in strange languages.

“He’s Got An Amazing Voice & His Songs Are Really Contemporary” ~ Guy Pearce On Robert Pattinson

“He’s Got An Amazing Voice & His Songs Are Really Contemporary” ~ Guy Pearce On Robert Pattinson 

The Weekly Review chatted to Guy Pearce recently where he spoke about his music and writing songs while on set. Of course Rob came into the conversation.
I have visions of these two during The Rover filming sitting around a campfire in the outback with their guitars singing and writing songs. Oh to be a fly on a guitar.

'Pearce found film shoots the perfect place to write songs: “No dogs to walk, no family to visit”. But it was always done somewhat in secret. Which begs the question; who else is in this secret songwriter society? Who is the best actor slash songwriter too self-conscious to “come out”? “Rob Pattinson,” Pearce says, naming the Twilight megastar he recently acted alongside in The Rover.

“He’s got an amazing voice and his songs are really contemporary.”'

Robert Pattinson is nothing less than a revelation in The Rover + more year end accolades for Rob's films

Robert Pattinson is nothing less than a revelation in The Rover + more year end accolades for Rob's films

The cinematography in The Rover was perfect for the film and others agree. The film makes a showing in this best of 2014 cinematography video:



The Rover wasn't forgotten by people but I enjoyed this write up the best.

10 out of 10 - Nick Laskins Top 10 of 2014 via ThePlaylist:

I must confess that I had been looking forward to this one since it was first announced and before I knew a damn thing about the film. David Michod’s chilling “Animal Kingdom” remains one of the most startling and assured directorial debuts of the last decade, and my favorite from the current crop of gloriously pessimistic Aussie cinema that includes the films of John Hillcoat, Andrew Dominik’s “Chopper,” and Justin Kurzel’s “The Snowtown Murders.” And yet my already-colossal expectations were not just met, but exceeded by “The Rover,” Michod’s spare, brutal look at savagery and survival in a world abandoned and left to rot by the very people who once inhabited it. The film unfolds in the midst of a worldwide catastrophe called “The Collapse,” the causes of which Michod wisely declines to explain. Some have criticized the film’s leisurely pace and minimal plot, but when the mood and menace is this thick and gorgeous, it would be churlish to complain. Guy Pearce—who, in his whole career, has never been this feral or terrifying, even when he beat Shia LaBoeuf to within an inch of his life in “Lawless”—plays Eric, a frazzled shell of a man whose single-minded pursuit of his missing automobile forms the crux of the film’s slow-burning narrative. As his traveling companion, Robert Pattinson is nothing less than a revelation. The actor has often relied on his striking good looks and air of affectless-ness in the recent films of David Cronenberg, where affectless-ness is a consistent stylistic choice. As Rey, the stammering, sweet-hearted simpleton whose wardrobe looks to be on loan from a 90’s rap-rock band, Pattinson reveals newfound dimensions to his screen persona. He is daft, childlike, full of wonderment and fear. He and Pearce acclimate themselves effortlessly to Michod’s hellish milieu, which strips its “Mad Max” futurescape of all action-movie chicanery and unnecessary exposition and reduces it to the bare essentials. Some have called the film “dystopian,” although that seems unfair and not quite accurate—perhaps this collective misjudgment is to blame for the film’s performance at the box office. But any film that manages to successfully utilize Keri Hilson’s joyously insipid “Pretty Girl Rock” in its most emotionally charged moment has to be something pretty special.

The critics over at The Playlist were fans of The Rover and have included the film and the performances on several lists already documented here. They still gave The Rover an honorable mention on their 17 Best Films You Didn't See in 2014 even though the film appeared in an earlier version of this list:

Films like "The Rover," "The Babadook," "Blue Ruin" and "Obvious Child" should have been bigger hits than they were, but we've been shouting about them for a while, including in our year-end coverage, so we wanted to use the spotlight to shine on some darker corners.

The Playlist, like Buzzfeed, ranked Rob singing Pretty Girl Rock, as 4 out of 15 of the Best Movie Music Moments of 2014!

David Michod's "The Rover" is unrelentingly bleak, or very nearly so. Set in a post-apocalyptic Australia that makes the world envisioned by George Miller's "Mad Max" movies seem like a day at a multi-level spa, the narrative is defined largely by bloodshed, squealing tires, and grime. But it's during the movie's darkest section that Michod brings out the most wonderful moment of levity. Over a stark, wasted landscape, and stars Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson tromping over brush, a familiar tinkling piano starts to boom over the soundtrack, former Timbaland protégé Keri Hilson's outrageously wonderful "Pretty Girl Rock." It lets the audience say, "Wait! I know this song," plugging them into the character's mindset in a way that the movie hadn't previously accomplished, segueing to the next scene, where Pattinson halfheartedly sings along to the song in some bombed-out vehicle (notably the line "Don't hate me 'cos I'm beautiful" which has to have meta relevance for the actor). The upbeat nature of the song gives the movie hope, even if that hope is just as phony and shiny as the song itself (and over just as quickly). It's sometimes hard to make an emotional connection with a movie as single-mindedly brutal as "The Rover," but this moment, thanks to this song, lets you in. It's also amazing to think that, in the dusty distant future, people are still doing the pretty girl rock.

Here are the current collection of videos that showcased the year in film. The Rover and Maps To The Stars pop up and it's fun to try and catch the scenes!




And lastly, for now, Maps To The Stars also snagged a 6 out of 10 best films of 2014 from The Yorker:

6. Maps to the Stars Celebrity is often satirised, but not usually so well. David Cronenburg’s Maps to the Stars was appalling, trashy, and thrilling. Stunningly entertaining yet thought provoking and at times, moving. It was testament to the idea that perfect execution can sometimes be better than having the most original idea.

I love love love that Rob's films get on these year end lists and best of mashups. Chances are we'll be doing this dance again at the end of 2015. :)

Robert Pattinson Ranked in 'IndieWire's End Of Year Critics Poll' & More

Robert Pattinson Ranked in 'IndieWire's End Of Year Critics Poll' & More

UPDATE: More great praise from Indiewire for Rob below (Scroll down)

We posted a big batch of end of years lists featuring Rob and his movies the other day (if you missed the post, check it out HERE).
Here are a couple more that I'm sure you'll find interesting particularly the first one.



 Indiewire's End Of Year Critics poll has Rob is at No14 (out of 50) in their 'Best Male Supporting Performance' category for The Rover. What's really interesting is that you can see how the critics ranked him by clicking on the blue bar on beside his name on the right.



Guy Pearce also features on their poll in the Best Actor Category



And Maps To The Stars makes Clash Music's Top films of 2014 List.
Here's what they had to say about it:

'Hollywood: a land possessed by poisonous personalities; a place rammed wall-to-wall with bitterly over-indulged souls who have it all and still want more; a toxic environment in which glamour has been eroded by addiction and desperation. Or at least that’s how David Cronenberg’s caustic satire paints it.
The mass of personality defects on display throughout Maps To The Stars gives it the feel of slick soap opera amplified to sick extremities: its characters rejoice when the tragedy of others sparks a personal resurrection; pop pills like Polo mints; and treat their fans like parasitic carriers of disease. If this film so much as touches on reality, ol’ Dave has probably alienated the majority of his industry contacts.' Ben Hopkins

UPDATE:

Indiewire released their "21 Best Performances Of 2014" list and Guy Pearce's performance as Eric in The Rover has made it in at no 6 on their list. Rob doesn't make the list but he got an honourable mention ;)

"With apologies to Robert Pattinson (and his legion of fans) who is very, very good in this movie, and continues to prove and reinvent himself in each new role, Guy Pearce owns "The Rover."

I finally got to see Maps To The Stars last week during it's award qualifying run - which proved to be successful since Julianne Moore scored the Golden Globe nomination they were seeking.

I loved it. It was an enjoyable satire on the absurdities in Hollywood. Extra'd out in some cases...or maybe not. ;)
I'm not a fan of Rob being in small supporting roles. It's torture. He was great as Jerome and I wished we had more scenes with him. But alas, it was not Jerome's story and it's up to Rob what roles he takes. My role is to buy tickets and see the movies. I'll gladly support the film in February when it's officially released as well. But the struggle is real with these mini roles.

Here are some cute shots that make you smile from PromoRob during The Rover LA press junket
