ROB TELL US ABOUT THE NEW FILM. THEY SAY NICOLE KIDMAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR PARTNER IN THE FILM.
Right. I don’t know what happened. But Nicole cancelled it at the last moment. In the end Uma Thurman got the part.
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO “BEL AMI”?
Last year when my agent sent me the script I had no idea who Maupassant was. I liked the script. I had never seen the novel though.
WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE STORY?
It seemed to me that the story is relevant now. The world is full of such men as my character-under their suits lust, envy unhealthy jealousy and other sins. Such guys are never satisfied with anything. They get what they wanted and start another hunt at once.
JUST THE OPPOSITE OF EDWARD ?
Yes, I like it a lot. I think it is a huge step forward-betray the vampire, playing the disgusting guy.
IS THIS CHARACTER AT LEAST A LITTLE LIKE YOU?
Well I can say that I really felt the character, I managed to drag something demoniac from my subconscious.
WASN’T IT HARD? DEALING WITH YOUR DARK SIDE CAN’T BE EASY ?
No I liked it a lot. The experience working on a negative character, all these beautiful costumes. All in all it was cool.
DID YOU ADOPT HIS TYPE OF LIVING? FOR EXEMPLE HOW MUCH MONEY IS THERE IN YOUR WALLET RIGHT NOW?
A thousand dollars
WOW, COOL. WHAT DID YOU BUY BEFORE THE INTERVIEW?
Toilet paper which means i am ok. The same old Rob.
DON’T YOU CHANGE AT ALL?
Of course I change, for the worse. At 17 for exemple I was so much cooler, because I did not know so many things about myself. (laughing)
REALLY? AND WHICH IS YOUR SCARIEST SIN?
It is really terrible- I am simply indecently talkative.
COSMOPOLIS SUPPORTING CAST –
As everyone knows by now that Robert Pattinson plays Eric Packer in David Cronenberg‘s Cosmopolis. What they might not know is who is Rob’s supporting cast. From the masterful Paul Giamatti, and the fresh talents of Sarah Gadon and Jay Baruchel to French luminaries Juliette Binoche and Mathieu Amalric, Cronenberg has assembled an impressive cast. Pattinson sums up the ensemble cast:“All the actors come from different backgrounds, have different personalities and have all done completely different kinds of movies. They didn’t know a lot about the film, but everybody wants to work with David and that’s why they’re here.”
Screenslam has a nice interview up on their site. Some parts seem to come from the Press kitt I think:
ROBERT PATTINSON ERIC PACKER COSMOPOLIS – In Cosmopolis, Eric Packer is a selfish young member of the ruling class, at the top of the super-rich 1%. He is an anti-hero whose privileged reality is decadent and isolated. Casting Robert Pattinson in this unsympathetic role wasn’t obvious. Robert’s super-stardom perhaps gives him some insight to the pressures of success, but his pressures include the attention of a zealous fan base that might expect him in a different role. And he is younger than Eric Packer was envisioned, an age difference that influences the rest of the casting process. On the other hand, young billionaires and tech-savvy traders are not unusual in today’s society. Plus, casting Robert presents an opportunity to attract a new generation to David Cronenberg’s work.
