*VIDEO* New Rob and David Cronenberg Interview with Portugal’s National TV Leave a comment
Rob talks ‘Cosmopolis’, Cannes, ‘On The Road’ and more with Le Figaro Leave a comment
Translation
Le Figaro: How does it feel to be at Cannes?
Rob: It’s crazy. I was at the screening of On the Road the evening before yesterday. It was intense. At every scene, I felt terrified, blown away, captivated. On the Road and Cosmopolis are kind of similar in a way, they talk about a journey. They’re road movies. In a way, they talk about the same thing, freedom, this desperate attempt to look from something different than the sad daily reality.LF: You and Kristen Stewart, both actors from the Twilight Saga, are in competition at Cannes. Is that a game, a coincidence or a challenge?
Rob: I don’t think of it as a challenge. I admit that it’s really strange. The year when Twilight ends, Kristen and I end up in Cannes … For me, Cannes is the most important competition in the world. When I was a kid, even before I knew I wanted to be an actor, I would rent DVDs with the Palme logo on it to impress my friends. As an actor, you dream that one day all your movies could have that logo on their DVD cases. My secret goal was to one day be invited at the Festival. I thought it could happen in 10 years and it happens now! I think the phone call I got to tell me that Cosmopolis was selected for the official competition, was one of the happiest moments of my life.LF: What push you to make this movie?
Rob: The script. I read it in half an hour. It was perfect. The only thing that terrified me was that the fear that I could screw everything up. What helped me decide too was the conversation I had with David Cronenberg. I asked him why he chose me and he answered: ‘I don’t know!’. Then, I asked him if he understood anything about the script and he simply told me that he didn’t but that it wasn’t important. I hesitated for a week then I called him back one night, almost in tears: ‘I want to do it, as soon as possible!’LF: Who’s Eric Paker?
Rob: He’s a guy who did everything to empty himself. A lot of people think he’s nihilist. On the contrary, I think he hangs on to the slightest bit of hope. But every time, he’s disappointed.LF: How did the filming go?
Rob: David Cronenberg did everthing he could to unsettle me. Eric Packer slipped through my fingers like an eel. David constantly told me: ‘If you understand anything to what we’re doing, it’s over!’ So I played my role like a melody to a song. I didn’t understand the lyrics but I felt like I was in tuned to it. After one week of acclimation, we often filmed scenes in one take. Even the 15 minute scene with Paul Giamatti was done in one take! At the end, this is the movie that gave me the most confidence.LF: Will Cannes be a launching ramp for you after Twilight?
Rob: People don’t watch Twilight for what the movies are but more as a global phenomenon. Edward Cullen is like a superhero A superhero who doesn’t do anything but be super. In Cosmopolis, I’ll finally be judged for my performance. That’s why I’m scared!

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.
Robert Pattinson interview with Metro: says he was afraid that Cronenberg would take him for an impostor 1 comment
Metro has met Robert Pattinson on the eve of the film presentation.
Twilight in the cinema of David Cronenberg, there is a world. Cosmopolis is the beginning of a new career for you?Already be here with this film, it’s great. For a young actor like me, for people who truly love the cinema is the ultimate festival. One of the few who consider cinema as an art form. Here it is not about fame and everything that goes with it. Going back to my career, this is probably the beginning of something. Because Cosmopolis turn gave me the confidence to now get involved in projects that really interest me.

Paul Giamatti talks about Rob and ‘Cosmopolis’ 1 comment
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.”

*VIDEO* New Robert Pattinson interview with Rai News Leave a comment
Here’s a new interview of Rob with Rai News – Italy (dubbed but you can hear it some):
Translation
I: Is it weird for you to be here in Cannes with Kristen Stewart, who is in another movie? R: Even my friend is here and it’s really weird; this is the year when Twilight ends and both me and Kristen and my best friend Tom are here in Cannes.
I: Robert pattinson, in this movie you are a vampire of finance. Can we analyze this role in this key? R: I mean, kind of. I actually never considered it to be a movie about banks or Wall street. I don’t think Eric sees himself as a person working in the finance world. I think he believes he made money thanks to finance but what he actually likes are numbers; so i don’t think the movie is necessarily about the conclusion of capitalism, not at all. I don’t even know what it is about.
NEW Robert Pattinson interview with USA Today 1 comment
Some rumors are so good, that they even get the movie stars involved believing. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Robert Pattinson woke up Saturday morning at the Cannes Film Festival, the morning after his triumphant premiere in Cosmopolis, and saw internet reports that he was being considered for Catching Fire, the sequel to the The Hunger Games.
“I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in The Hunger Games,” Pattinson tells USA TODAY. “I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent.”
The response?
“My agent was like, ‘No,’ ” Pattinson reports.
“(My agent) was like no one’s going to offer you that part,” Pattinson says, breaking into a laugh. “I was like, thanks for the reassurance.”
But Pattinson was riding a high after his new film Cosmopolis (due out in the U.S. in August) received a standing ovation in Cannes with girlfriend Kristen Stewart in attendance.
Even that was stressful. The ovation came after director David Cronenberg warned him that the Cannes audience can be harsh.
“David tells me the night before, ‘I’m fully expecting some boos,’ ” says Pattinson. “I was literally like, ‘Why are you telling me this?’ ”
“I literally didn’t watch one second of the movie, I was waiting for people to walk out,” says Pattinson. “I was expecting a fight.”
It was only hours afterwards that Pattinson was able to wind down at the film’s afterparty.
“It took a full three hours of continued panic,” says Pattinson. “Full adrenaline. It was just too weird.”
