Robert Pattinson is bankable and it helps the auteur cinema. David: Funds for the movie were really hard to find. Actually, Robert helped us a lot because of Twilight and that we can’t deny. So bless them! Bless the Twilight movies without which I couldn’t have made this movie.
Rob: You end up running out of ideas. I’ve done 5 movies withe same character. Especially someone who doesn’t change, I mean, he doesn’t die, who has no fears. You get to the point where you’re like … I don’t know, people are gonna start calling me out on it.
David: I’m hoping that Rob will be in the 5 sequels of Cosmopolis that I have planned. I didn’t want to kill you in case we might want a sequel.
Metro has met Robert Pattinson on the eve of the film presentation.
Twilight in the cinema of David Cronenberg, there is a world. Cosmopolis is the beginning of a new career for you?Already be here with this film, it’s great. For a young actor like me, for people who truly love the cinema is the ultimate festival. One of the few who consider cinema as an art form. Here it is not about fame and everything that goes with it. Going back to my career, this is probably the beginning of something. Because Cosmopolis turn gave me the confidence to now get involved in projects that really interest me.
“Pattinson is able to convey a whole lot about his Cosmopolis character simply with a curdled sneer and a soul-sick gaze. He’s skilled at delivering the tricky DeLillo dialogue, too, which Cronenberg has preserved in huge swaths for his adaptation.” -Kyle Buchanan,
“Featuring an ensemble cast built on quick cameos, the film is anchored by a solid, ennui-filled performance by Robert Pattinson, shedding his Twilight skin for something more substantive and reminiscent of Christian Bale in American Pyscho.” -Raffi Asdourian,
This month, Ricci stars in Bel Ami, based on the novel by Guy de Maupassant. She plays Clotilde de Marelle, who’s seduced by social-climber Georges Duroy, played by Robert Pattinson. At the time of filming, Pattinson was at the peak of Twilight hysteria. Did the more experienced Ricci give him advice on handling the attention?
“God, no,” she says. “I’ve not experienced that kind of fame and I don’t think I ever will, so I wouldn’t have any advice to give.
“But it doesn’t seem to get to him at all,” she adds. “When we were shooting in Budapest, there were quite a few girls screaming on the street, but he wasn’t annoyed by it in the slightest.”
Ricci found herself in the position those girls dream of – filming love scenes with Pattinson. “We joked and had a laugh about it,” she says. “We made a point of trying to put each other at ease. It’s just part of the job. Sometimes those scenes can be funny, but they aren’t terribly thrilling.”
