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.
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.
