It’s an event for different reasons: Robert Pattinson , who has eventually put an end to his Twilight duties, displays his talent as a cranky megastar and plays a young billionaire who will have a nightmarish mental oddysey in the back of his limo (adapted from Don DeLillo’s novel). Above all, the fisrst images allows us to see and feel something we tought had disappeared: David Cronenberg’s cinema, the one he used to do: gore , biologic, clinic, disturbing. We’ll meet you on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival.
From if.com (Australia):
Producer Liz Watts is calling David Michod’s new film The Rover “a dirty and dangerous near-future western set in the Australian desert”.
She confirmed what the Internet is buzzing about: that Guy Pearce and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson are in discussions to play, respectively, a man in pursuit of the people who stole his car and the brother of one of the thieves in Michod’s follow-up to Animal Kingdom.
Here’s the weekly round-up of pics and quotes of the day that we post on our Tumblr account daily.

From the beginning of the shooting, I sort of lived inside the film, and inside the car: I was always there, it was my home, and I welcomed the other actors in my space, sitting tight on this kind of captain’s chair, with everybody visiting me. -Robert Pattinson (Cosmopolis production notes – 2012)
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.”
