Robert Pattinson talks about the appeal of Twilight during Breaking Dawn UK Premiere

What is the film's appeal to the young people is the question posed.

Rob's interview starts at 2:39. Cute high pitch from Rob at the start LOL

David Cronenberg talks about Robert Pattinson to Cinema Blend & Huffington Post

UPDATE: David Cronenberg mentioned Rob to Huffington Post who asked the question, Why? Poor poor media. So clueless to Rob's talents. I'm glad DC is setting them straight ;)

Why did you want Pattinson for the part in "Cosmopolis"?

Cronenberg: Well I'd watched a movie that I think not too many people have seen called "Little Ashes," where he plays Salvador Dali, and he plays him as a young man and plays him with a Spanish accent. So I thought, well that's really interesting, I mean this was before he was a "Twilight" star, because, it takes a particular handsome young man to decide to play that role. And then I did watch some of the "Twilight" stuff and I watched "Remember Me" and I felt that he had a lot going on. He's supposed to be a super smart billionaire at a young age, 28 he says in the movie. It's intuition. I didn't know him as a person, but I'd figured from the movies that I'd seen, like "Little Ashes," that I could maybe interest him in doing something that's not "Twilight" obviously.

David Cronenberg has been on a Robert Pattinson Advocacy Tour. If you've missed any of his praise for Rob's work in Cosmopolis, click HERE to review.

His recent mention of Rob and filming is with Cinema Blend. An excerpt:

Working with Robert Pattinson in Cosmopolis, is it that same process of really focusing on your actor and giving him a lot of freedom?

He's in every scene. It's quite a different structure from A Dangerous Method. I think the only similarity really is that there's a lot of dialogue, but it's a very different kind of dialogue, a completely different kind of movie. I did shoot it even more ascetically. We finished 5 days early, and I did my director's cut in two days. That's a record for me. And yet it seems to work really well. Basically you're not giving your editors much to work with. At moments he was begging me to do coverage and I wouldn't. I said I don't need that closeup, I don't want that. I'm confident that letting it hang in the long shot is the way to do it. There are classic mistakes that young directors make, they get so enamored of this tricky dolly shot or steadicam shot, then they don't want to do closeups because they think they've done this genius shot, then in the editing room they realize all the emotion, they can't see it. You have to do closeups. But that's a lesson you learn very early on in your career as a director. You have to have unshakeable confidence if you're not going to do that coverage. You have to know this is exactly what I want it to be.

Showing the emotion in closeup shots...I'm very much into this. ;)

Carter Burwell talks about Robert Pattinson playing the piano for Breaking Dawn Part 2

Carter Burwell talks about Robert Pattinson playing the piano for Breaking Dawn Part 2

We certainly can't wait for the revival of this...



While the above piece is Rob's own composition, Carter Burwell has composed a new lullaby for Renesmee that Rob will play in Breaking Dawn Part 2. Burwell spoke at length to Sonic Scoop and here is the excerpt regarding Rob:

Cool. What about the fact that Breaking Dawn is a two-parter? Knowing you’re also going to be scoring Part II, does where the story goes from here enter into the picture at all for you? When you’re thinking of these themes?

Well, I’ve read the script, but I haven’t seen any of Part II yet. But I did have to write a theme that Edward plays on camera in Part II. Bill wanted to echo the “Bella’s Lullaby” scene from the first Twilight in the last part, and so I had to write a lullaby for that well in advance so Rob Pattinson could learn the fingering – he’s a musician and prides himself on being able to do that.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in better quality People Magazine images + Extra dishes on the wedding

Marina made the sweetest and swooniest wallpaper from the recent People Magazine scans. It's the perfect accompaniment to the better quality images below and the inside scoop from an extra that was lucky enough to attend the filming of Breaking Dawn's top secret wedding.

Oh and try not to ugly cry with the lyrics Marina put on this wallpaper.

Excerpted from the Vancouver Sun:

Before the ceremony, Robert Pattinson stood around being handsome and smoking at every chance. Kristen Stewart looked amazing in her modest gown, but appeared freaked out about something. They cuddled and he seemed to console her. It was a real-life drama playing out before us and all we extras could do was gawk. Aw, how sweet, they really love each other.

Then, a helicopter began to circle and production stopped. Walkie-talkies spouted angry instructions, security people scurried, and giant black umbrellas were opened over the actors to block views from the air. The battle against the paparazzi was on and we sat freezing for two hours waiting for a truce.

The next night’s scene was the wedding reception, on a set done up like a hobbit banquet. The Assistant Director looked us over and pointed to me and another woman. “You and you, the principal and the math teacher.” We were put into a shot where we had to mime congratulations and walk away, which made me feel more like the “fortunate few” and less of a production prisoner.

As the other gal and I worked out who was the principal and who the math teacher, we laughed about the set, the story and the now pouring rain. By the time we were face to face with Pattinson and Stewart we were suppressing snorts. I was dying to tell Stewart how much I loved Runaways, but we were bound by celebrity gag order, which made for the most awkward party moments ever.

David Cronenberg praises Robert Pattinson's performance in Cosmopolis

David Cronenberg praises Robert Pattinson's performance in Cosmopolis

UPDATE: More praise for Rob! This time from Gothamist:

Viggo Mortensen, Magneto, and a movie with Rob Pattinson next, with all that Twilight hoopla around him. You don't mind stars with franchise baggage it seems.

It's like with Viggo with The Lord of the Rings, frankly. We've talked about this a lot. He wouldn't have been a candidate for A History of Violence if it hadn't been for Lord of the Rings because he wasn't well-known, he was really kind of a B actor, character actor before Lord of the Rings made him a star. Therefore, he would not be somebody who could get you the financing that you need. It's something about casting that people don't think about but as a director, you really have to think about it because your producers make you think about it and so do your distributors. You say, "I want this guy," and they say "Forget it! Nobody knows who he is and we can't build a campaign around him to release to movie." So not only do you have to get the right guy, you have to figure out who that guy is creatively but he has to want to do it to, you have to be able to afford him, he has to be available at the time you want him and he has to have the star power to get your movie financed. It's very tricky casting a movie and for a director it's a huge part of what you do, to weave your way through this mine field and end up with the right guy in your movie. Because if you make a huge miscasting mistake, it can kill your movie before you've even shot a foot of film.

Have you ever made any huge casting mistakes?

Yes, but I won't talk about them! [laughs] But not enough to kill the movie, I must say. There are only one or two that I would maybe have rethought. But you get lucky sometimes and sometimes the right person not only says yes and sometimes the right person says no. In other words, for some reason you've decided to go with somebody and you later realize, "Thank god that guy didn't do the movie because this guy is the right guy." But about Rob Pattinson, yeah, of course, if it weren't for Twilight I don't think we could have financed the movie around him because he wouldn't be known. But aside from that, that was a good thing not a bad thing and of course I have to think about all that.

Especially with a movie that's so focused on one character.

Absolutely. You make a bad choice and you've killed your movie right away or at least you're staggering through it trying desperately to compensate for what's not there that should have been there. I felt really lucky to have Rob, he's fantastic, and I think people will see that it's obvious. I don't think it's going to be a surprise.

And David Cronenberg also spoke to Bloomberg News:

Warner: The film stars Robert Pattinson of “The Twilight Saga” series. Do you think he can escape his vampire pigeonhole?

Cronenberg: He’s a terrific actor, which will be obvious when you see the movie. Any director who’s looking to see what he can do will see that he can do a lot.

This really doesn't get old. And it's not even the real promotion for the film! Can you imagine what David will say then??

Two more mentions from David Cronenberg while promoting A Dangerous Method.

Excerpt from LA Times:

R.K.: Your next film is “Cosmopolis,” which is adapted from a Don DeLillo novel. What can you tell me about it?

D.C.: It's the story of a young billionaire played by Rob Pattinson who travels across Manhattan to get a haircut. That's the plot. Robert's a very underestimated actor. I think he'll blow some people away. (Tink: *happy tears*)

Excerpt from Living In Cinema:

JT: In addition to budgetary reasons, do you prefer shooting in one or two takes for creative reasons as well?

DC: I did the same with A Dangerous Method and the same with my latest movie Cosmopolis. One or two takes…if you’re working properly with your actor and your actor is properly prepared, you don’t need more than that. The idea of doing ninety-nine takes like David Fincher is supposed to have done…it’s a completely different way of filmmaking.

...

JT: Cosmopolis is slated for next year, which is a return to screenwriting for you and features a stellar cast. What can you tell us about it, in particular Robert Pattinson, who seems a unique choice for a Cronenberg leading man?

DC: I think he’s kind of parallel to [Knightley] really. I think he’s a very underrated actor who’s really good. And so he proved to be. I think he’s fantastic in the movie… He’s really great. You can ask Paul Giamatti who’s said that publicly, because he does a big scene with him. Cosmopolis is based on a novel by Don DeLillo. It couldn’t be more different from A Dangerous Method, except that it to has a lot of dialogue. But it’s a very different kind of dialogue. You’ll have to wait and see. (Tink: I love this. I WANT more dialogue from Rob in film. Bring it!)

Robert Pattinson talks to Today (Singapore) about Breaking Dawn

Robert Pattinson talks to Today (Singapore) about Breaking Dawn

Homegirl is crazy. The author started her article with "I DON'T get the allure of Robert Pattinson."

Pffft.



ANYWAYS....let's check out the latest international press interview with Rob, promoting Breaking Dawn.

Excerpted from TodayOnline (Singapore)

Scruffy, with a baseball cap worn backwards, dirty fingernails and unkempt stubble, I wondered where the Byronic hero girls scream at and cry over was. The guy was actually wearing a ratty white T-shirt with big gaping holes!

And not in a trendy way. But that's exactly when I finally got why the world was going rah-rah over R-Pattz. He's personable, easy-going and constantly snickering, and is the polar opposite of the sullen Twilight hero.

He crunches ice while listening to questions and then laughs when he realises cannot answer because he's gobbled one too many cubes. He laughs all the time and unguardedly touches my arm when he's making a point.

And one can see how in love he is with Kristen Stewart (who plays Pattinson's onscreen love, Bella.)

His funniest moment making Breaking Dawn is the fact that Taylor Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob, has a relationship with a seven-year-old girl, Renesmee (the half human-half vampire daughter of Edward and Bella).

"I thought that was very funny! Haha! I don't think I have ever laughed so much than at the scenes of them together," he said, with a twinkle in his eye. A wickedly funny ice-cruncher with a devil-may-care attitude?

I get you now, R-Pattz.

How different is prepping for Edward compared to the last three times?

I guess the hardest thing about the Twilight movies every single time is thinking how not to repeat yourself. Especially when you're playing the same character and especially when it's so specific that your image never changes. (Edward) never sweats. He never cries. He never gets dirty. His hair never changes ... it's very difficult not to look exactly the same all the time (smiles). As more movies go by, it's harder and harder to think of it. But I guess this one is specifically different because, he actually changes for a second. It's a slightly different part and it actually became easier to prepare for it. I felt that it was more natural ...

Was filming your last scene all tears or all whoops of joy that it was over?

I remember I had to go for the international press tour for Water For Elephants the next day and we were on a night shoot. So two hours later, I had to go home and pack, and then go out again! That was my last day and that was really exciting! (Laughs) But Kristen and I did another "last day", in the Caribbean when we had to do one or two additional shots - part of the honeymoon stuff. Now that was amazing! That felt like a really good farewell. Because it was just me, Kristen, and the crew - just spending all night on the beach. And then the sun started coming up and everybody had cocktails ... that was a really nice way to say goodbye to the series.

Did you nick anything off set for remembrance?

Well, as the series went on, I started getting them to order more clothes for the character that I liked. And so I got a bunch of jeans and stuff. (Laughs)

What was it like to shoot the honeymoon scene?

We shot all the exterior stuff in Brazil and in the Caribbean as well. And that was really easy and fun. We were just messing around. It was the first time that Edward and Bella could actually be a normal couple instead of just hanging out. Then we shot all the sex scenes and stuff back in Baton Rouge and it was fun but it was a strange thing. Especially when you know that so many people are anticipating what you're doing. And especially when there are only so many things you can do ... as a human being. Hahaha! So that was kind of odd. But Bill (Condon the director) made it a nice situation. It was easy.

How about your shirtless scene? Did you enjoy it?

It was one of the most traumatic experiences in my life! I don't like my photo taken for one thing, so as soon as you get your shirt off and knowing that everyone is going to be saying things like, "does he have a six pack" ... I don't want to be judged in those terms anyway. So that's why I have tried to avoid it in all the other movies, because I don't care (what) people think. I've avoided playing someone else's game. I don't want to play.

After spending so much time filming together, tell me a quirk about Kristen that no one else knows.

Kristen is really good at the trumpet. I didn't realise no one knew that. I always thought she talked about it but I only realised yesterday she never told anyone. And she learned how to play it on the set of Breaking Dawn! She's a natural.

What about Taylor?

The workout regime that he has? It's pretty crazy. He works out right up to the moment when someone says "Action"! It's insane. (Laughs) He would be standing with his trainer right till just before and his trainer would be pulling his arms apart! Literally, about 10 seconds before (his scenes). I don't understand how he has the concentration to do that. I can't even have people saying anything to me (when we're shooting). Ever! At any point during the day! (Laughs)

Are you coping better with the crazy Twi-mania?

Yeah I guess so, you just come to accept some things. But it's so utterly unnatural. It'll always be on the sidelines of my life and I've kind of compartmentalised it. For the first couple of movies ... with people going crazy and stuff, I was very much there, and I really know what that felt like. It's crazy! I remember then, we did a mall tour for the first movie; I had to go to bed afterwards. It was exhausting. So now I got a sort of alter ego where I can deal with huge crowds and stuff. If you go acknowledging all your insecurities and all the other problems in your life when you're dealing with whole crowds, you'd go totally crazy.

But how do you feel right now that it's all over?

I feel a little bit relieved. But at the same time, in-between these movies, it was strange, because you really could have played anything. You could have played an old woman or something, and no one would really care because you had another Twilight movie coming out. So it just gets forgotten about! (Laughs) Whereas now, in order to stay at the level in the industry where I'm at, I have to have big movies coming out, so you have to think about that a bit more.

Thanks Skylar for the tip!
