With all the great photo’s coming out and the huge amount, there are a few that left us giggling and coming up with weird/funny/crazy stuff Rob might be thinking / saying in them. We shared some of them on twitter earlier under #BadCaptionRob and will be sharing more in the future: All in good fun (and promo time might be making us slightly crazy) đ
After a starry premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, Robert Pattinson, Guy Pearce and director David Michod brought âThe Roverâ to The Regency Bruin Thursday.
Michod told Variety that he hadnât been familiar with Pattinsonâs previous work. âRob just came in and did a beautiful audition for me that was both vulnerable and completely alive,â he said.
âThis proved that seeing him work with Guy Pearce and Scoot McNairy, we realize heâs a consummate actor,â added producer David Linde. âHeâs in the âTwilightâ movies and people donât think of him in this way, but as you see in this movie heâs the real deal.â
For Pattinson, he said his goal is to work with good, ambitious directors. âThese roles just donât come up that often,â he said. âA script like this is so rare, I mean, itâs in the top five scripts Iâve ever read.â
Pattinson plays Rey, a yellow-toothed, simple-minded man who is one of the last survivors in a world 10 years after an economic collapse.
âI like how my character was set up. It was just sort of two really dense dialogue heavy scenes in the midst of almost no dialogue, so it let you be pretty free to do anything with it,â said Pattinson.
From MTV
Forget the vampire of yesteryear. For his next act, Robert Pattinson plays an all-new kind of animal.
Pattinson is one of the two stars of âThe Rover,â director David MichĂ´dâs thriller that takes place in the not-too-distant future, ten years after a global economic collapse. Set in the Australian outback, Guy Pearce plays Eric, a violent drifter who cares about only one thing in this desolate world: his car. When his car is hijacked by a bunch of criminals, Eric tracks down one of the thugsâ dim-witted brother, Rey (Pattinson), and drags him along on a quest to reclaim his possession and get some vengeance in the process.
Itâs a very different turn for Pattinson, who, up until recently, was best known for his heartthrob role as Edward Cullen in the âTwilightâ series. Pattinson has made an active effort to take on radically new roles, what with David Cronenbergâs supremely surreal âCosmopolis,â and now âThe Rover.â Here, Pattinson presents himself without his signature locks, opting instead for a closely-cropped buzz cut. His trademark smile is not a thing of beauty here, thanks to a thick layer of dirt and grime on his teeth. As Rey, Pattinson presents a character who isnât the brightest bulb in the bunch â but just might be one of the most vulnerable.
âHeâs like Bambi,â Pattinson told MTV News. âHeâs been really, severely bullied and told that thereâs something wrong with him for so long. Heâs never been asked the [right] questions or anything. Even when Guyâs character is incredibly abusive, itâs really the first time Reyâs been told to think, and the mechanism of thinking isnât really there.â
âWhen [Pearce] asks him, âIs that something he told you or something you know?â He canât understand the basic question,â he continued, âbecause no oneâs ever asked him that. They just slap him in the head all the time. Their relationship is a bit of a rebirth.â
While Pattinsonâs character is a lifelong victim of bullying, Pattinson himself experienced a fairly serene childhood â except for the one time someone stole his shoelaces, when he was twelve years old. How did Pattinson deal with that adversity?
âI killed him,â he joked, before adding with a laugh, âI actually did beat him up, and he was only eight. You have to pick your battles!â
âThe Roverâ is open in limited release now.
