Known predominantly for his work in the Twilight saga, 26-year-old Robert Pattinson is keen to put the blood-sucking behind him and embark upon a more mature career.
We spoke to the man himself and he revealed that as the fifth and final film is about to be released, he’s happy to see the back of his 107-year-old character.
“Playing the same part for a while, you just run out of ideas,” he said. “You feel kind of useless, you don’t know what to do anymore.”
“I’m not trying to get away from it.” he added “You’re screwing yourself, you’re saying you think your work is sh*t if you try and get away from it. And I never thought it was. But I kind of got to the end of my inspiration. You get to the point where you’re like, ‘I don’t want to do a film for a teen audience any more’.”
You can read the full interview in next week’s ShortList out on Wednesday.
Rob: When I read the sript, as soon as you read the script, it’s like: wow, it’s so different from anything I did before. It’s the kind of challenge I look for as an actor. I mean no one else but me got that role. And then I read the script, I really liked the style of it. It was well structured and really easy to read as well.
If Robert Pattinson made young girls fall in love with him, he only has eyes for her, Kristen Stewart, who became just as famous with the Twilight saga. For the both of them, it’s not as easy anymore to live a normal life.
Rob: There’s no point in worrying about it. And also, when you come to Cannes, you have to expect all this activity around you. People can think whatever they want.
Robert Pattinson is bankable and it helps the auteur cinema. David: Funds for the movie were really hard to find. Actually, Robert helped us a lot because of Twilight and that we can’t deny. So bless them! Bless the Twilight movies without which I couldn’t have made this movie.
Rob: You end up running out of ideas. I’ve done 5 movies withe same character. Especially someone who doesn’t change, I mean, he doesn’t die, who has no fears. You get to the point where you’re like … I don’t know, people are gonna start calling me out on it.
David: I’m hoping that Rob will be in the 5 sequels of Cosmopolis that I have planned. I didn’t want to kill you in case we might want a sequel.
Giamatti hadn’t worked with Cronenberg before, but he was excited to hear that someone was adapting one of Don DeLillo’s novels. The script, with its single very long scene for his character, won him over completely.
“I thought the script was just bonkers,” he says. “And then the part was really interesting. And then it’s also 20 minutes long. That doesn’t come along very often.”
