A new interview with Rob from Berlin during Cosmopolis promo...and it's not translated! Happy day.

From Anne Facompre:
Okay, so here it comes: as of June 25th, I am officially allowed to publish my interview with Robert Pattinson, held a few weeks ago in Berlin. It was done for a German magazine, they will run a version of this soon. But I was made aware of loads of Robert's fans who would love to read it as well. So I am posting the official transcript here. I haven't actually used this blog in aaaages, but I didn't know where else to upload it, so here we go. Unfortunately, his rep didn't allow pictures at the hotel, so I had to snap one with him at the red carpet instead. I have also interviewed Cronenberg and asked him about Robert and the film. I will publish that soon. And if you want, follow me on Twitter @annefacompre for more exclusive interviews in the future! Hope you enjoy!!

It's Thursday, May 31th in Berlin, and, after having seen 'Cosmopolis' at a media screening in the morning, I am meeting Robert Pattinson for an interview in the afternoon. They have put us in a dark but cozy room on the ground floor of a fancy Berlin hotel. Robert is dressed in a casual black T-Shirt an Jeans, seated right in front of a window and sipping some coke. Or Diet Coke. I didn't ask. He is also chewing a tooth pick the entire time, as he is trying to quit smoking.

Let me just say that he was kind, relaxed and very approachable. He was laughing a lot and seemed happy to be promoting the film.

Hey Rob, it's good to meet you. How are you?                            

Good, good, thanks.

How do you like Berlin?

(He laughs) I love it, but it's so annoying. Every time it's at the beginning or the end of the tour. Every time I feel like I am only here for one single day, so I never really get to see it.

And now they put you in a really dark room for the interviews, didn't they?

And there's people standing right outside the windows (laughs).. a bit weird.

Let's talk about Cosmopolis. In the scenes in the limo, the camera seems to always be really close to you and focused on your face. Was that difficult?

It's strange because you could remove the pieces of the limo, but it was still the same size as a normal limo. And the camera was on a crane and literally really close to my face. It would just move by remote control, like a robot. And there was no one else in the car, which was weird. You get a completely new relationship with the camera. It's like you're more and less aware of it at the same time. It's weird because there is no one actually behind the camera. It's a totally different aspect to shooting.

And how was it for you to play such a dark character after 'Twilight'?

The very first thing I shot, I wanted it to be a no statement thing, the suit, the hair, everything. It's like: Your clothes don't say anything, your car doesn't say anything. Nothing says anything. And YOU don't say anything and it's one of the scariest things I've ever done. I was turning around to Jay Baruchel in the first scene and you realize your face isn't doing anything, you have no eyes (because of the dark sunglasses). It's nerve racking.

And what do you think of the character you play?

I really like him. A lot of people see him as being kind of apathetic, which might be my fault. I mean, I did it, I wanted to humanize him. And some people really see it. Other people think it's some guy who just doesn't care about anything, but I think he really does care about a lot of things. He's just an egomaniac. Like he thinks he is the only person in the world, he wants to be God. But not in a greedy way he just thinks he is. It's just the way he was born.
Finish the interview after the cut!

Rob: What do you mean it was only 8 1/2 minutes? That ovation should have been at least 8 minutes and 47 seconds. Who had the timer? I demand to know.

Based on the people in their entourage and the photos in the gallery, I'm pretty sure that's Tom next to Rob. But I'm no expert on Tom's eye.

"Sonntagszeitung" Interview Robert Pattinson In Cannes

"Sonntagszeitung" (Switzerland) Interview Robert Pattinson In Cannes.
They ask him about the end of Twilight, Cosmopolis, new projects, prostate-exams & lollipops

I know Rob but apparently "Sonntagszeitung" is a serious-minded newspaper (who ask if you've had a prostate exam and like your lollipops ;-}). I dunno *shrugs*

Interview is Translated

The vampire, that’s all past now. Around Christmas though, the last long-completed “Twilight” movie will hit the cinema, however, the British Robert Pattinson, 26, doesn’t play a bloodsucker anymore. In “Cosmopolis” he’s a barracuda who lets himself chauffeur in a stretched limo around Manhattan. The movie, based on the novel by Don DeLillo, is directed by the master director David Cronenberg. Therewith Pattinson has definitely arrived in the cinema of the big ones. Or not? He shows up for the interview on deck of a luxury hotel in Cannes with a pink lollipop.

Does it taste good, Mr Pattinson?
Oh I like these. Does it bother you when I suck? (Kate: Emmmmm.....stares...... *snapsbacktoreality* It IS slightly distracting actually ;-})

Photobucket

No. (Kate: Obviously a man)
In a French mag it was written: Robert Pattinson was a star, now he’s an actor. Do you see this in the same way?
Crazy how a thing like that works. Already when the trailer of “Cosmopolis” came out, I read: Now he’s a true actor. I beg you, that trailer lasts 30 seconds, and I don’t even say a word. Who wants to judge that? But it depends on the appearance.

Until now you’ve been the biggest teenager star and not an actor.
Seems like. My career has actually started with “Twilight” in the first place, the biggest thing one can image. When you get big out of nowhere, many think of it being a wrong career. You’d have to work your way up first.

Will you miss “Twilight”?
Acting wise, no, as my vampire doesn’t go through such a huge process. He cannot die, he cannot hurt himself. It’s difficult to develop new ideas. However…

Article: "Give Robert Pattinson a fair chance to prove he’s more than Edward Cullen"

A piece of shit article (if we can even call it an article) was written about Rob the other day. We gave it no credence here but I did, however, enjoy reading this from a site that has not been necessarily pro-Rob in the past. The author, Brad Sturvidant, doesn't get Rob's appeal. Yet he wrote a great counter-argument post that was fair and sound - something lost in many online publications.

From Flix66:
A recent report came out that Hollywood executives have labeled Robert Pattinson “Rip-Patz” because of his recent box office struggles, post-Twilight.  The Daily Mail (not always the most reliable source, so believe what you will) is pointing to the recent flops of BEL AMI and the UK release of COSMOPOLIS as the proof that his career isn’t going to be able to take off after the Twilight series is finished.  I’m not sure BEL AMI and COSMOPOLIS are the best examples to show whether or not an actor is bankable, but the news struck me as an interesting turn for one of the most popular stars on the planet.  Personally, I’m not sure what the public sees in him and I never thought of myself as a Robert Pattinson fan, but I also don’t like it when publications and Hollywood executives make generalizations about someone without considering all the facts.

Let’s review the films of Robert Pattinson, excluding the Twilight series and HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE.  He had HOW TO BE and LITTLE ASHES before Twilight, both of which made virtually nothing at the box office (and if you click the titles, you can read our reviews).  Focusing on post-Twilight films, he had REMEMBER ME ($19m domestic gross) in 2010, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS ($58.7m domestic gross) in 2011 and BEL AMI ($82k domestic gross, but still in theaters) in 2012.  Granted, those aren’t great numbers for any star, but I want to point out that all of those films are niche dramas from virtually unknown directors.  I couldn’t see any of them being box office smashes with any star.  In fact, the argument could be made for some of them that without Robert Pattinson, those films wouldn’t have been seen at all.

If we’re going to judge R-Patz on the performances of his dramas, then why not hold other stars accountable or their under-performing dramas?  George Clooney (THE AMERICAN, $38m, among many others), Brad Pitt (SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET, $38m, among many others), Tom Cruise (MAGNOLIA, $22m) and Bruce Willis (STORY OF US $27m, among many others) have all had their share of dramas that struggled at the box office.  And sandwiched in all of their films have been big budget blockbusters like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, DIE HARD, OCEAN’S 11, etc.  Isn’t the same true with Robert Pattinson and the Twilight films?  He has his money-making films and then he has the niche dramas that he wants to make.

The point is that we don’t know what Robert Pattinson can do at the box office post-Twilight because Twilight has consumed almost all his time up until now.  But now that he doesn’t have any commitments to the Twilight universe, he can focus his time on quality films with talented directors.  On the horizon, he has several projects, including the military interrogator drama MISSION: BLACKLIST, THE ROVER with Guy Pearce, an untitled re-teaming with David Cronenberg and a biopic on The Band.  If all of those films fail to impress critics and audiences alike, then maybe we can start writing his Hollywood obituary.  But until then, let’s give Robert Pattinson a fair chance to prove he’s more than Edward Cullen.
What a breath of fresh air to read something from a credible source that didn't make a hasty generalization about Rob's career and began to acknowledge the unfair standard Rob's being held to by some. And from someone who admittedly isn't a fan. I wanted to help spread this post to counter the other crap that was circulated and discussed.

If you need a refresher on what Rob has to say about art house films and their audiences, this interview is necessary.



I, for one, love the roles Rob picks. Sure, for obvious reasons (I'm an unshakably supportive fan) but because I'm intrigued by his interests (Rob is Oprah). I also like that his name brings attention to projects that people might never hear about. Would MTV have reported on Cosmopolis if Rob wasn't in it? Would mainstream media be talking about Jean-Stephane Sauvaire and David Michôd's films to the extent they are without Rob's attachment? It's something to think about and Rob's worth isn't dying, it's evolving.
