Short Robert Pattinosn interview with I (from the Independent) Words by Kaleem Aftab
Maps to the Stars is the title of the new David Cronenberg film starring Robert Pattinson. It refers to the Hollywood cartography that informs tourists where to find the homes of their favourite actors. Anyone buying one of these plans will be disappointed if they are looking for the home of Britain’s mosy famous vampire. Last Year the actor sold his masion in Griffith Park, near the Hollywood sign in central Los Angeles, saying he was too young to be tied to such a lavish property and instead wanted to lay low and live life to his needs rather than his means. “The house was so amazing, he says of the abode he sold for $6.37m (3.9m. “I wasn’t really thinking when I got it. I had been living in and out of hotels, and you have money for the first time.” When he says money, he means a mind boggling amount. He reportedly received $20m for the final part of Twilight, the vampire saga that made him a global name, and made his private life public fodder. Pattinson says selling the house is part of a general disassociation with Hollywood. “If you are the kind of person who needs to be pushed into doing something, Hollywood is not the right place, so I think I might be done with Los Angeles.”
It’s a belated release, but we’ll take it: David Michod’s “The Rover” is finally getting a soundtrack release. Lakeshore Records will release the album digitally on October 7th and on CD November 11.

New/Old Robert Pattinson interview with Yahoo Singapore from Cannes
It’s late afternoon in Cannes, and heartthrob, Robert Pattinson, 28, appears to be having a good time at the world’s most glamorous film festival promoting the Rover, starring alongside Guy Pearce, 46. He will also star opposite Julianne Moore, 53, in Maps to the Stars, both slated for release this summer.
His hair is short, he has a little facial stubble and he’s wearing a turquoise jacket, black shirt and dark jeans and sneakers.
Pattinson is of course best known for his role as Edward, a vampire who falls in love with a human, Bella, played by on again off again girlfriend, Kristen Stewart, 24, in The Twilight Saga.
Since then, Pattinson has taken on more serious roles such as Remember Me (2010) and Water for Elephants (2011) in which he starred alongside Reese Witherspoon.
Famous for his good looks, Pattinson is often seen topping the ‘hottest’ lists in many publications such as People (2008 and 2009) and Glamour UK, yet he remains humble. He is also the face of Dior Homme, which he took on after Jude Law.
THE INTERVIEW:
Q: Are you a fan of the Mad Max films?
PATTINSON: I have actually never seen them. I have been asked so many times this morning and I have never seen it. (laughter) I guess I have got to see it now.
Q: This whole genre, is it familiar to you?
PATTINSON: Yeah, but I think this one is kind of different. I mean, it’s not like everyone has gone crazy, and they are cannibals. There feels something more real about it, and also I think the world where the movie is set, it’s not that the entire world is like that, they are just in the middle of nowhere. The country has just become very unstable and anything could collapse at any second. It’s sort of like the new society is trying to be born again.
Q: Is the collapse of society a familiar fear to you that you can relate to?
PATTINSON: Not really. I think the world is quite resilient, but I don’t know I think it would be a bit of fun. But I am a bit of a nihilist. (laughter)
‘Media Quarterly Episode 1′ features some great behind the scenes footage from The Rover & also some words from David Field who plays Archie in the film. A really interesting video. The Rover segment begins around the 8.40 mark & goes through to almost the end of the video.
