Your previous film before the hunger games was Water for Elephants, a Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson picture. You worked with him right in the middle of the Twilight mania, and then you went out to do theHunger Games. What lessons did you take from interacting with Robert Pattinson, he dealt with that kind of tabloid fame and fan- that went into working with Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games right afterwards.
When I worked with Rob, he obviously had a huge fan base because of Twilight and there were women and girls, but I say women, camped out at our set every day and at our hotels when we were shooting out of town, and it was odd. He was always very shy about it. I remember having done a movie previously with Will Smith, who is also very popular, and he has a very different way of interacting with his fans, and I was trying to see if I could get Rob a little more comfortable with sort of embracing the fan-dom.
What I learned from him is that actually the two fandoms are very different from one another. His fans are very different from Will Smith’s fans, right, and if Rob’s fans got a hold of him, at least at that time it felt like they would rip him to shreds. They would pull his hair out, they would pull his shirt apart, I mean that guy … there was reason for him to be nervous with some of those fans. Not all but some.
In an interview he recently gave, Francis Lawrence said that Robert Pattinson’s character in Water for Elephants, Jacob Jankowski, would not survive in The Hunger Games.
They were all crying off camera during Hal’s scene because his wife had passed away just months before and that broke their hearts.
Initially they wanted Hal to do all the voice over but then thought it would distance from the character and decided to try Rob’s voice and really liked the result.
The moment with the girl at the college was a in between takes moment. She was so nervous around Rob that they tricked her. She was actually flirting with Rob off camera.
They say Rob has a method to start sweating and go all pale but they won’t reveal.
Rob’s mom in the movie also acted as his Polish coach. And the father lied in the audition. He was not Polish, he was Russian!
From RP Australia:
I had confirmation this morning from FOXAustralia that the blu-ray and DVD of Water for Elephants will be released in Australia on 19 October 2011. I’ll provide more info as soon as it comes to hand, but I thought you might want to mark it down in your diaries!
