A24 Films not only added the usual “pictures”, “videos” and “credits” sections that we usually see in movie sites, but created a whole new future in the Timeline of the Colapse and Remapping the Future sections. Very impressive!
The site also features a new still and a couple others in better quality (scroll this post for the new stills) and a list of theaters that will be showing The Rover in the US (we included the list at the bottom of our post here).
Guy Pearce talks about Robert Pattinson with Yahoo Celebrity and 20 Minutes
From Yahoo Celebrity (Read the full interview at the source)
Q: How aware of Robert Pattinson were you before the film and how was it working with him? PEARCE: I was very aware of his fame, and I had only seen him for Water for Elephants, which I really enjoyed, and I really enjoyed him in it. That head is just incredible really isn’t it? That face really. And the sensitivity, it’s a beautiful sensitivity. And when David mentioned that he was interested in him for the role, and I went, ‘Oh wow, okay,’ because I think the vulnerability was something that was really crucial for me as far as I was concerned. And I didn’t want it to be, not that I am a big brute of a guy, but I didn’t want it to be too equal; I wanted it to be obviously top heavy, so that people would feel sorry for him if I really took it out on him. And I wasn’t aware of how good he was going to be, to be honest. Not that I didn’t think he would be, but certainly, on that second day, when I was watching some stuff on the monitor, and he did that scene where he crawled out of the truck and he was sitting against the tree at the beginning and he had just been shot and watching the way he was sort of trying to work out how he was going to deal with this situation, I just found it heart-breaking. So it was a great moment for me, to be honest and it just got better and better as far as I was concerned. So, it was exciting because one, you forget about all the fame business and you concentrate on the work that you are doing, but just to kind of work with somebody who is really delivering is fabulous, it’s always been inspiring.
Q: Are you glad you never quite experienced that level of fame? There were years where you were
pretty well known… But it wasn’t that sort of thing. Are you glad you didn’t have to deal with that in your career? PEARCE: Yeah, I haven’t had to deal with it. I would certainly enjoy the benefits that come with it, as far as being offered great roles all the time, and all that sort of stuff and I am sure that’s fabulous. But the sh*t you have got to deal with at the same time I reckon is pretty full on. It’s amazing how he deals with it.
Q: He seems very natural and easy-going. PEARCE: Yeah, he’s funny and he has a good sense of humour, but I think it gets to him totally. But interestingly, and not that he actually says this, but he wants to prove himself as a good actor. All of us do, all of us want to be able to do good work and I think he sees that stuff, all that Twilight stuff, and goes blech, whatever.

20 minutes: And Robert Pattinson? Guy Pearce: I spent the time on set eating sand with him, it creates links! Seriously, I was amazed by his talent and sense of adventure. He doesn’t hesitate to make himself look ugly and try things. It is not a only a lmovie star: he has the makings of a great actor.
It’s Robert Pattinson who is playing amazing this low mind
Rob: He’s always been treated as someone who has a low mind by all the people surronding him so he never had to take any kind of responsability. it’s the same thing when he kills people. For him it’s not real. He doesn’t understand what’s happening and it’s like a game. No one is nice towards him so since no one takes care of him , he doesn’t care about anything. The importance of killing someone doesn’t matter
At the end of the interview, they said Rob could play in another saga. he could play a younger version of Indiana Jones in the 5th sequel.
On a terrace at the windswept the Palais des Festivals, a man with his head tucked into his shoulders, pulls on his cigarette. A bodyguard stands a few meters from him. The anonymous smoker is Robert Pattinson. With two films in the official selection, Maps To The Stars, by David Cronenberg, and The Rover, by David Michôd, the actor was one of the attractions in Cannes. When you arrive at our rendezvous on the Croisette, he was not very fresh. The day before he was closing the Silencio, the Parisian club relocated during the festival . He woke up ten minutes before appointments with the press.
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.
