Tell us about your work for Mission: Blacklist and how you ended up being a part of this project?
“I became involved with Mission: Blacklist when head writer and Executive Producer Erik Jendresen contacted me about contributing to the project. At the time, he and his co-writer Trace Sheehan were deeply immersed in adapting Staff Sergeant Maddox’s book, Mission: Black List #1, and were looking for an additional voice to help flesh out the main character and structure his remarkable story as a movie. It was an honor to be asked to collaborate with two such accomplished and well-respected writers, on a story with such an incredible pedigree, and I accepted without a moment’s hesitation.”

Interview with Guy Pearce about Rob and The Rover 2 comments
Here’s another interview with Guy Pearce from The Sunday Morning Herald
Guy Pearce has given a glimpse of what to expect from The Rover, the futuristic film he finished shooting with Robert Pattinson in outback South Australia last month.
Director David Michod’s keenly-anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom is “an unusual story” set in a world gone wrong in the near future.
“It’s a military state now, it’s every man for himself a little bit, it’s a very bleak kind of world,” says Pearce, who’s about to reach cinemas as the villain in Iron Man 3.
In The Rover, the Australian star plays the title role, a damaged man named Eric with nothing left to live for. Trying to track down a dangerous gang, he meets a young stranger, Rey (Pattinson), and they forge an uneasy alliance.
“[He's] somebody he has no interest in,” Pearce says. “He’s purely using him to get where he needs to go. So through this bleak … world, there’s a little connection that’s kind of made, which on some level you might think would be a positive thing for this character.
“But on some level it actually makes things worse for him – to really believe that there’s some sense of love in the world or any sense of humanity or compassion. So it’s a pretty bleak story.”
As filming finished in the small town of Marree, almost 700 kilometres north of Adelaide, Pattinson said he wanted to be part of The Rover because “it was a startlingly original script, and it was one of those parts where you read it and you think, ‘I’d love to do this, but I know I’m never going to get it’.”
To play Rey, the Twilight star was dressed as unkempt and unshaven, with make-up to discolour his teeth.
Pattinson says his character, an American who has come to Australia with his brother (played by Scoot McNairy), is “the kind of person who has been brought up to believe they’re incapable of living independently. Someone has always been looking after him.”
The two central characters, Eric and Rey, have a shifting relationship that Pattinson described as “strange and disturbing.”
It’s a film, expected to be out later this year, that seems to have echoes of the classic post-apocalyptic Australian film Mad Max.”Not as camp though,” says Pearce, was also in Animal Kingdom. ”Mad Max is great, don’t get me wrong. But it’s heightened in a way, whereas this is pretty earnest.”

Guy Pearce talks about Robert Pattinson: ‘He’s a really great actor’ 8 comments
Some great quotes by Guy Pearce about Rob from the Daily Telegraph:
ROBERT Pattinson is the real deal, according to Guy Pearce, his co-star in The Rover.
The two actors have just spent seven weeks together in the South Australian Outback, filming director David Michod’s hotly-anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom, with Pearce waxing lyrical about his co-stars ”beautiful face”.
”The best thing about Rob is that he is a really great actor,” says Pearce.
”Watching the rushes back, you go: ‘OK, he is just going to be fantastic’.”
The Twilight star plays white trailer trash from the southern states of America in the futuristic western, set in an apocalyptic near future where society has broken down in the wake of a severe financial crisis.
”He plays (the character) slightly backward, emotionally useless and really vulnerable,” says Pearce.
”He’s got this beautiful face so you are completely entranced by that face no matter how ugly he makes himself or how wounded he is, or how manky his haircut.”

New Cosmopolis Interview
Where you familiar with Don DeLillo’s novel?
No. Nut I had read a few of his other novels. First I read the script that David Cronenberg sent me and then the novel. One is incredibly faithful to the other, in a way that it seems impossible, for a novel that seemed impossible to adapt. But even before reading the book, what I was most impressed was the tension without release and the fast rhythm of the script.
What caught your attention the most about the movie?
Cronenberg, obviously. I’ve acted in other movies and non of them reached the level of what I expected working with him would be. He did not disappoint… I knew that it would be very creative and that it would be an authentic experience. And I was also very attracted to the prose in the script, similar to a long poem. And a mysterious poem too. Usually, when you read a script, you know very quickly what is it about, where is it going, how will it end; even if there are unexpected or sophisticated twists, or plot inversions. But this time it was completely different, the more I read, the least I could imagive where was it going and I wanted to be part of it even more. It can no be boxed in any movie genre, it stands as it’s own.
When you read the script the first time, did you see yourself playing the part? Could you imagine how it would look visually?
Not at all. The first time I spoke with David, that is exactly what I told him, that I could not visualize it and he said that he thought it was good that I couldn’t. And at this point, we where not thinking much in anticipation, there was an evolution that was progressive, organic; starting with the text and then going into the many visual options to give form to the movie. It’s a life process. Even during the first week of filming, we would ask ourselves how would the movie look once it was done. It was fascinating, I felt like the movie made itself.

Werner Herzog’s QUEEN OF THE DESERT with Robert Pattinson might be postponed
Naomi Watts who said that, when the shooting of this biopic about Gertrude Bell should start in March.
With a casting including Robert Pattinson as Lawrence of Arabia, Naomi Watts as Gertrude Bell and Jude Law in a undetermined role, QUEEN OF THE DESERT was likely to catch our intention , our curiosity andour impatience . Especially since the director is Werner Herzog. One of the greatest director of our time who, for the previous years, was more busy doing his excellent documentaries than shooting his movies.So to see him going back to shoot feature films , four years after My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done ( never released in France) and three years after the crazy Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, was a real delight.
However QUEEN OF THE DESERT won’t finally be shot very soon, even if the first steps of the cinematography should have started in March . It’s Naomi Watts who revealed those discouraging news about the project, first when she declared to E ! Online : « It’s still a way’s off. I don’t know yet. Hopefully, it will happen. I just can’t travel again right now because I did a lot of traveling last year. It’s been a big year and it’s time for me to be home with the kids.“ » She also told MTV (via The Playlist), while promoting TWO MOTHERS at Sundance film festival “we’ll see if it happens later this year or next year “. Moreover, she assesses that Robert Pattinson wouldn’t be 100% confirmed for the casting…
We’ll keep our fingers crossed and hope everything’ll be fine. Don’t forget QUEEN OF THE DESERT is about the work of both Lawrence and Bell at the beginning of the 20th century to reinforce Hachemites’ power in Jordan and Irak. They did it in order to help the French and English interests against the Ottoman Empire in this area.
