After his escape to Cannes, where he climbed the famous steps, Robert Pattinson spoke toTélépro.
We met the young 28 year old British actor on the occasion of the release of “The Rover” (the movie will be released in France and Belgium this Wednesday, June 4)
Starts at 8:55 – Rob’s interview at 10:00
It’s dubbed, but you can hear him. 1st question – he talks about the world situation in The Rover. 2nd question – he talks about working with great directors. “After Cosmopolis I realized that if you just work with great directors, you’ll never be disappointed”
Translation:
Didier: Watching the film I remembered something I had read somewhere saying the apocalypse is when human beings are losing their humanity. Do you think the film is speaking about that?
Rob: Yeah I mean. I guess it’s also … I was thinking a little bit about hope. People have lost the sense of hope with each character and I think it’s where they are living, if the world is devastated just like that. Either it’s economically speaking or extracted inside the world. There’s nowhere to go for people. We’re watching them and we’re wondering how we can live without hope. Is there a reason to live? And I don’t know if the film is telling about that but it’s rather flexible how you can interpret it
Didier: I like what you are doing with your career after Twilight. I know you love cinema, we already talked about that. When you choose a project like this one or a Cronenberg, is it a way to put your love for the cinema in your work?
Rob: Yeah I mean, basically after Cosmopolis I realized that if you only work with great directors, you’ll be never disappointed. No matter what the result is, it’s always an amazing experience.

New Robert Pattinson, Guy Pearce and David Michôd interview with ‘Total Film’
Transcript
Michôd had never seen the Twilight movies, and though he knew of Pattinson’s clout when he agreed to meet with the star, he expected a chilsel-cheeked airhead who he’d swiftly reject. Only he liked Pattinson, dug his attitude, aspirations and taste in cinema, and offered him the chance to audition. Yes, audition.
“I’ve never worked so hard for an audition,” whistles Pattinson, who makes for a surprisingly shy and goofy presence, dressed down in a flannel shirt. “I was running lines 12 hours a day, for two weeks. I was obsessed.” Rey is timid, damaged and slow-witted, drawling his words in southern American accent; he and his brother have come to Australia to try and take advantage of mining opportunities. Pattinson, upon lading the role, was given free reign by Michôd to play Rey as he wished and create his own backstory.
“I thought he wasn’t mentally handicapped at all, but was someone who had been told he was his whole life,” he explains. “It’s more about confidence. He grew up with rough people around him. People kept telling him to shut up and they beat him up all the time – eventually you get to the point where you don’t have a personality at all. You only do what people tell you. It happens to people who are bullied. So when Eric asks him questions, it’s literally the first time he’s ever had to deal with the situation. That’s why he likes Eric even though he’s a bit of an asshole.”
Eric’s questions, mind you, are mostly of the ‘where’s your no-good brother so I can kick his skinny ass’ variety. That said, a mutual trust develops between the pair, even if Michôd is at pains to not go down the Hollywood route of buddy bonding. Both Pearce and Pattinson impress in their roles, and it was their dynamic that was of the most importance to Michôd.
(…)
It was a tough shoot, with temperatures of 122 degrees, but Pattinson and Pearce were not complaining. “I kind of liked it!” laughs Pattinson. “If you were trying to play someone who wasn’t filthy and disgusting all the time, then it would have been annoying – having someone constantly get rid of your sweat or something. But when you wallow around in it, it’s kind of nice! We both got sunburned and looked like shit. There wasn’t anything to eat out there, so I’d been eating slices of bread with BBQ sauce on for six weeks. You turn into a fucking lunatic.”

Laurent: Guy, Robert and David , thanks for being with us today. You’re here to talk about your upcoming movie, The Rover. First of all, David, I want to know how you manage to shoot a movie who is a thriller, an action movie, a survivor movie, a road trip with strong characters. It’s amazing. What was your first motivation when you decided to direct this movie?
David: The 1st idea was very simple : just about a man in the desert who got his car stolen. Then I started building everything else around this idea. Throughout the screenplay writing, it became a mixture of various different elements. This movie looks like a western. What I really wanted to do was that the audience could feel something. During the shooting , it happened a lot for me that , after watching the dailies , I was like “What is this movie I’m doing? What is it ? It’ really weird”.Laurent: Guy , was it a constant work on your character everyday?
Guy: Actually I talked a lot with David abt who was this man , what he lived before you met him at the beginning of the movie. For me, most of my work was done during rehearsal during our talks in order to really get who the character was. Of course, when you’re doing a movie, the shooting is always a work in progress. You know which way you’re heading but it ‘s rather how you do it to get there.
