Paul Giamatti talks about Rob with c7nema (click to read the full interview – in Portuguese)
Did you know Robert before the movie?
No.
What do you think of him? He unintentionally became an icon after all the madness from ‘Twilight’?
He’s a great guy. Of course he has a crazy life, but he deals with it very well. I don’t know how he does that. I knew he had done ‘Twilight’, but I’ve never even watched it, I didn’t know how famous he was. All I can tell you is that he’s very nice and down-to-earth.
Sarah Gadon talks about Rob and his fans at The Marilyn Denis Show

All right, this is exciting: ‘Cosmopolis’ just premiered at Cannes, and now we’ve got the director and cast of David Cronenberg’s latest in the studio. David himself, Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, and Toronto’s rising star Sarah Gadon will all be in the red chair.
The show is airing next Thursday, June 7th, so make sure to tune in and check it out.
‘Cosmopolis’ goes on wide release across Canada Friday, June 8th.
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.”
COSMOPOLIS SUPPORTING CAST –
As everyone knows by now that Robert Pattinson plays Eric Packer in David Cronenberg‘s Cosmopolis. What they might not know is who is Rob’s supporting cast. From the masterful Paul Giamatti, and the fresh talents of Sarah Gadon and Jay Baruchel to French luminaries Juliette Binoche and Mathieu Amalric, Cronenberg has assembled an impressive cast. Pattinson sums up the ensemble cast:“All the actors come from different backgrounds, have different personalities and have all done completely different kinds of movies. They didn’t know a lot about the film, but everybody wants to work with David and that’s why they’re here.”
The final buzzer has sounded, the brawl for it all is over, and Robert Pattinson is the last man standing: “Cosmopolis” has won MTV Movie Brawl 2012.
His indie drama made for one hell of a Cinderella story in the vote-driven tournament to pick the must-see movie of the year. Entering the bracket as a #4 seed (following an impressive showing in the play-in round),”Cosmopolis” appeared to be facing an unavoidable Elite Eight ouster. What were the chances Pattinson’s cerebral film about a young finance wiz taking a day-long limo ride though New York City would beat “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2”? Apparently pretty good. Fans banded together, choosing to support RPattz’s post-vampire career rather than the franchise that made him a star. “Breaking Dawn” was sent packing.
And so, after easily fighting off “The Dark Knight Rises,””Cosmopolis” came to face “The Hunger Games,” a brand-new franchise that had waltzed through the tournament and seemed to be the odds-on favorite to win the whole tourney. But it was not to be. After more than 3 million votes and a slew of lead changes, Pattinson’s film beat back Jennifer Lawrence’s series to become the undisputed champion of the Movie Brawl.
Hours before voting closed Monday afternoon (January 23), with “Cosmopolis” staking out an insurmountable lead and the MTV Movies team at the Sundance Film Festival, we broke the news to Pattinson’s co-star, Paul Giamatti, that their film had won the tournament.
“Holy cow, that’s astounding!” he said. “The fact of that is amazing. … That’s a really cool thing that it brings that visibility to that movie.”
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks in the tournament, so we’d like to thank all the fans who voted. The Brawl broke bigger than we could have ever hoped. Well over 5 million votes were cast. The competition spread wildly over Twitter and Facebook. Our comments sections caught fire as fans debated, argued and rallied. In the end, though, only one film could stand as the undisputed champion of the MTV Movie Brawl. Pattinson, Giamatti, director David Cronenberg and everyone connected to “Cosmopolis” — we salute you!
