David Cronenberg Talks About Rob with Reading Eagle


At first glance, Packer appears to be a soulless character. He initially exhibits little to no outward emotion, not while receiving updates about his dwindling finances, not during sex, not ever. That sense of detachment is enhanced by the limo, which is smooth-running, soundproof and bulletproof, with tinted windows that minimize Packer's view of outside events and prevent prying eyes from looking in at him.

"You can see his soul as the movie progresses, as he approaches his childhood," Cronenberg said, "because, really, we begin to realize that the barbershop represents his childhood. It's his childhood barbershop. It's where he used to live. It's where he came from.

"Eric wasn't born into money. I think you see Eric become more vulnerable and more childlike and naive, and when he's in the barber chair he becomes like himself as a child, before he'd erected this Eric character, this Master of the Universe guy. So you should gradually warm up to him as you realize how vulnerable and how wounded he is.

"It's why I cast Robert," Cronenberg added. "It's a very uncompromising performance. We don't go out of our way to make him more likable than he is, but you want to watch him. He's very charismatic, Rob."

New Rob and David Cronenberg Interview with Detroit Free Press


It's Day 3 of the Robert Pattinson publicity tour, an event marked by widespread curiosity about ... well ... you know.

Yesterday, he was given ice cream on "The Daily Show" as a setup for Jon Stewart's humorous effort to dish with him about relationship breakups. This morning, it was George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" who offered him breakfast cereal.

Is the 26-year-old actor tired of getting media food bribes? "Food bribes," he repeats rather quizzically. "Oh yeah, I got offered some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal this morning. I don't even know (why). I haven't had Cinnamon Toast Crunch for about six years. I actually ate some french fries just before these interviews. I had a carbohydrate O.D."

The pleasant British chap talking on the phone could be any hot young star promoting a movie. Except that he's not just anyone. He's RPattz, the hunk from the phenomenally successful "Twilight" films who's making his first public forays since his long-rumored girlfriend and "Twilight" costar Kristen Stewart made their relationship official. With a public apology to him. After some photos surfaced of her dalliance with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director. Which caused an online/celebrity media frenzy approaching the level of the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes split.

New/Old Interview of Rob with Dagens Nyheter (Sweden) from Cosmopolis Cannes Promo

Similar to previously posted interview but some new quotes are there.


The vampire star doesn’t hold back when it comes to his image. His latest movie, “Cosmopolis” is set in a limo, where he lives with daily prostate examinations and customer visits.

Robert Pattinson is walking with a cup of coffee in one hand a red lollipop in the other hand at the hotel’s restaurant, at the rooftop in Cannes. He manages to not look like a moviestar which is very clever because everybody follows the moviestars in Cannes, and it’s like you can almost feel the air crackles of static electricity.

But that doesn’t seem to bother this 26-years-old british man. He talks, laughs and is excited and often sounds, frankly, like he was a few years younger and not a young veteran with experience from a dozen feature films.
-It was so weird at the screening yesterday, cause I didn’t even see the movie, I just sat there and listened if someone coughs. I just sat there and thought -”Oh God, please let it go well, oh god please!”
