Here’s a new clip from ‘The Rover’ featuring Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce
From Vulture:
Guy Pearce is introduced to Robert Pattinson for the first time in this clip from the new film The Rover, directed by David Michod (Animal Kingdom), but the scene could also serve as Pattinson’s reintroduction to the public: Never before have we seen the Twilight star step this far out of his cinematic wheelhouse. As the dirty, bloody Rey, Pattinson impresses in this post-apocalyptic Aussie thriller, which finds his two-bit thief reluctantly teaming up with lone wolf Eric (Guy Pearce) to track down Rey’s criminal brother, who has left both men in the lurch. Together, they’ll have to navigate an unforgiving Aussie wasteland in a future world set ten years after a great economic collapse, which leaves every hard-bitten survivor fending for himself and turns Australia into an unfamiliar and dangerous third-world nightmare. Press play for a sneak preview of Pattinson’s new act — trust us, that’s him under the scuffed-up look, unflattering buzz-cut, and gurgling Southern drawl — and catch the full thing this Friday, when The Rover debuts in theaters.

Seven weeks in the baking heat of the South Australian Outback has accomplished something even an army of vengeful Volturi couldn’t.
Described by one influential industry magazine as “career redefining”, Robert Pattinson’s against-type performance as a slow-witted drifter in desert Noir thriller The Rover has enabled him to emerge from the long shadow cast by the Twilight franchise.
That might explain the 28-year-old English actor’s relaxed and charming demeanour during interviews for David Michod’s hotly-anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom — the film that reinvented both Jacki Weaver’s and Ben Mendelsohn’s careers — which stands in marked contrast to his polite and unassuming but slightly-guarded approach to the media at the height of the Twilight phenomenon.
Pattinson says the glowing reviews that came out of the Cannes Film Festival last month, where The Rover screened in a prestigious midnight slot, felt like a validation “for about five seconds”.
But his next film is almost more important.
“With all that Twilight stuff, I know that if I was not me, I would be judging me,’’ he says.
“It’s almost like setting up a brand. If you get enough good reviews so that people go in expecting a good movie, then half your job is done.”
Guy Pearce, Pattinson’s co-star in The Rover, made the transition from soapie heart-throb to serious actor two decades ago with The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, which was also selected for a midnight screening slot at Cannes.
“Basically, he is a leading man but he consistently does character parts,’’ says Pattinson.
“I always kind of admired how he did that and it is basically the same career path that I would like to have.”

Robert Pattinson’s interview with MTV Australia at the premiere of The Rover in Sydney 1 comment
If you were anywhere near Sydney’s State Theatre on Saturday night you might have been mistaken for thinking we were back in the times of Beatlemania, as hundreds of fans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the British heartthrob.
In an MTV exclusive, we quizzed the former Twilight star on what he thinks of his adoring fans that came out to see him ahead of the Australian premiere of his new film The Rover for the Sydney Film Festival.
“They’re really sweet,” he blushed as they hysterically screamed behind him.
Before he hit the red carpet the 28-year-old generously spent around forty-five minutes chatting to his biggest supporters, some of whom had been patiently waiting on the street since 6am.
The humble and softly-spoken actor seems to be going from strength to strength with a slew of hard-hitting films coming out over the next year; a definite departure from his star-making role in The Twilight Saga.
If he wasn’t blessed enough with some fine acting chops and a face that could turn a house-wife into a bumbling mess, he’s also got an impressive set of pipes, but says he’s unfortunately not releasing any new music.
“No, not in the foreseeable future,” he said. If you’re aching to hear him sing you can catch him in The Rover hilariously singing along to a Keri Hilson song, one of the many memorable moments as he delivers a brilliant performance as Rey alongside Aussie great, Guy Pearce.
