CANNES, FRANCE—The vampires and werewolves of the Twilight franchise will be humorously “on Mars” when the final film arrives in November.
That’s the word from lead star Robert Pattinson about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 2, due in theatres Nov. 16.
“This one is so odd that it becomes kind of funny,” Pattinson told the Star.
“Now that Bella’s not human, they’re just on Mars now. Everyone in it is a lunatic!”
Pattinson was at the Cannes Film Festival as star of David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, which was competing for the Palme d’Or at the festival, which wrapped up Sunday.
He took a moment from his Cosmopolis press duties to talk about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 2, the fifth and final film of the record-breaking gothic teen romance phenomenon.
Pattinson said Part 2 will be quite different from Part 1, beginning with the newly released posters, which show individual characters instead of group scenes. The posters have solo shots of Pattinson and also Kristen Stewart, his real-life girlfriend who plays his newly transformed vampire bride Bella in Breaking Dawn.
“I’m excited about the last book coming out because it’s quite different,” Pattinson said.
“Even the posters. I just saw the posters the other day and . . . suddenly there’s a different look. Because all our posters have been exactly the same, until the last one. It’s crazy. I kind of like them.”
Breaking Dawn—Part 2 breaks new ground for the series, too.
“The movie is funny as well, which is weird.
“It’s strange. I guess the first one was quite body horror-y (and) creepy.
“This one is so odd, that it becomes kind of funny. Now that Bella’s not human, they’re just on Mars now. Everyone in it is a lunatic!”
In the film, Pattinson wears just one costume: a black two button notch-lapel Signoria suit by Gucci. He also wears a Gucci fitted white cotton shirt, a slim black silk tie, a leather belt with silver buckle detail and black leather lace-up dress shoes.
The film’s costume designer, Denise Cronenberg, had initially approached Prada, but they weren’t interested. Gucci on the other hand, who has dressed Pattinson in real life, was gung ho. “It was great because we could never have afforded those suits,” Denise tells THR exclusively. “Our budget was way too small.”
Rob’s intro:
It’s a strange movie, people will find him petty important referring to the contemporary society but while we were doing it, it seemed totally surreal. Every actor that would come on the set was like ‘What is this about?’ and no one knew. That’s my biggest fear when it comes out, that people won’t get it.
Favourite movie:
R: ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’
K: ‘A Woman Under The Influence’ by John Cassavetes. It really influenced me.
Favourite actor:
R: Brando, Jack Nicholson.
K: De Niro.
Favourite actress:
R: Ellen Barkin.
K: Jodie Foster and Catherine Keener.
Movie that always makes you cry:
K: ‘A single man’
R: Gotta say ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ again.
Movie that always scares you:
R: Oh god, I don’t know. ‘The exorcist’ or something like that.
K: Movie with people going crazy. That’s frightening. For example ‘Take Shelter’, so good.
Movie that sexually excites you:
K: On the Road?
R: This is a tough one.
K: That’s a tough one!
R: That movie called, my French accent is awful, ‘Prenom Carmen’, a movie by Godard. Actually I liked the main character.
K: Gosh, ‘Unfaithful’. The whole movie! And also Diane Lane is one of the sexiest women on earth.
‘Rob, is it true, as you said to VF, that you are ready to go and live with kristen?’
K: What?
R: Ehm, I read it and thought ‘What is this interview?! I don’t even remember doing it.’ – But yeah, that woman kept making questions only about that and I was like ‘What is going on here?’
I always try not to talk about my personal life and she basically said ‘Oh, I would like to ask you about that!’
K: We are so proud of each other. And it’s so crazy to be here together.
R: Yes, it’s crazy having finished Twilight this year. It’s very strange and incredible for both of us.
K: I can’t wait to see his movie.
R: I hope you enjoy Cosmopolis, in Cinema Today. And I hope you like it and maybe see you soon
