PM: Kendra is an exhibitionist who craves power and wants to dominate Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson) sexually. She was initially hired to be his bodyguard, but quickly becomes his lover. They are opposites in many ways, but both are hollow inside and searching for meaning in their existence. Ultimately, they risk leaving each other feeling as empty as they started.

PM: Our love scene happened one month ahead of schedule so neither of us had time to get in the exact shape we wanted to be in, but I did a juice fast three days prior, and he went to the pub and drank a beer. Rob already has an incredible screen presence that comes easily to him, so he is very relaxed about how he appears.

A few months before we started shooting, I started boxing and combat training and I did a 3 week detox. It was something I always wanted to try, so I used the film as my motivation. I really enjoyed the process and have integrated the healthy eating and the boxing into my lifestyle.

PM: For me the funny thing was that everyone approached the scene with no idea what was going to happen, but to be ready for anything. David, Robert and I explored it together, the way we might do if it were a play. We thought we had it nailed down, so we took a lunch break for the crew to light the scene. Then, after lunch, David said he wanted to shoot the scene a different way so the crew took time to re-light everything and Robert and I had time to bond a bit more before we started shooting the love scene. The result is amazing, very sexy, tense and humorous. I can’t really say what happens with the taser, you will have to see the movie to find out!

Starring in upcoming films opposite Robert Pattinson, Naomi Watts and Keira Knightley, Toronto’s Sarah Gadon is on the verge of making a career out of being a performer–a dream she’s been working toward since she was a nine-year-old ballerina playing a lamb in The Nutcracker. In David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method, Gadon plays Emma Jung, the long-suffering wife of Michael Fassbender’s Carl Jung. The collaboration worked so well that Cronenberg cast her as Robert Pattinson’s estranged wife in his upcoming day-in-the-life-of-a-multi-millionaire film Cosmopolis. Casting Gadon was an easy decision, Cronenberg explains. “She’s extraordinarily beautiful, she’s incredibly talented and she’s very funny, playful and intelligent,” he says. She’s also starring with Daniel Craig in Dream House and in the vampire thriller The Moth Diaries. And yet working with Pattinson had a way of distilling Gadon’s 15-year résumé into three words: Robert Pattinson’s wife. It’s a hot topic among Team Edward, though Gadon finds it baffling. “This is a glimpse into what his reality is like every day,” she says. “So if anything it makes me think, “I’m really lucky.” The only reason people are talking about me is because of him.” It won’t be long before the conversation shifts.

FANG: You and your GOOD NEIGHBORS co-star Emily Hampshire appear in David Cronenberg’s latest, COSMOPOLIS. Can you talk about that and working for Cronenberg?

BARUCHEL: Again, this is a movie that I agreed to do without knowing what I’d be doing in it. I was sort of just keeping my fiancée [Allison Pill] company in Manhattan while she was doing her play. My greatest ambition was to just write horror. And that’s been picking up after my work on [co-writing] GOON. My writing partner [Jesse Chabot] and I got hired on a couple of things, and so on-camera acting was the furthest thing from my mind this year. And then they said, “You want to go to Toronto and do two days on the new David Cronenberg?” I said, “I’ll pick up that man’s f**king dry cleaning.” I’ll do anything to meet him. He’s one of my original heroes. For a Canadian who wants to make horror movies for the rest of his life, there’s no greater hero or no more important figure than David Cronenberg. It was a very, very easy “yes” for me. And showing up there, once I got past the initial butterflies in my stomach and the jitters of not only getting to meet one of my heroes, but getting to work with him, that took some getting through because I was flabbergasted. Here I am, getting to watch him do his thing, in his environment. But once I was past that, it was the easiest job I’ve ever had. It was simple and fun and exciting and I could retire tomorrow because I’m in one of his flicks now.

FANG: Who do you play in COSMOPOLIS?

BARUCHEL: The thing is incredibly dense and ethereal and mostly it’s just dialogue heavy. It takes place in the early 2000s during a version of the dotcom boom. It follows Robert Pattinson’s character, who’s the CEO of one of these tech companies, and he’s on his way to work and he’s trying to get a haircut and that’s the movie. And 90 percent of it takes place in his limo en route to get a haircut. He has all these different meetings with people he works alongside, and they come in to the limo, he has a long, sort of philosophical conversation with them and they get out, they exchange seats, and I’m the first guy he picks up. I’m the guy who started the company with him, and I’m a young, rich, upwardly mobile tech head. We have a four-page long existential scene about the nature of 20th-century living and then I disappear. It was the most satisfying, interesting, exciting and every adjective in the book. It really, really nourished me. I know I’m a better actor, a better writer and a better person for it.

From deb at CosmopolisFilm

I don’t even know where to start. First off a little PSA: set soldier Suzie and I will have a full set account in a day or two. This post is a all about the end of the night… or first thing in the morning. Whichever. ;) Please note: this is semi-coherent and fangirlish. Sorry. (not really)

So this was my fourth set visit but the first where I was able and committed to staying until the very end. You know, the end. When Rob signs and takes photos. Of course, it was a night shoot and although Rob wrapped at around 2 a.m. I was prepared to hear that it was too late and he wouldn’t be signing.

I’ve always said Rob is a giver. :)

Dean peeked at the small group of us across from Rob’s trailer and
must have deemed us “safe”. *snicker* Moments later, Rob strolled
across the street with a big smile and killed us all. He signed for Jan first. (Rob:
“Your name is JAM? oh Jan… I was going to say Jam’s a very unusual
name.”) Then it was my turn…

I think by now we all know two things about me. Technology
confounds me near people of note and I babble. Like really babble. So as Rob is
signing my copy of Cosmopolis I tell him how much we’ve enjoyed following the
filming in Toronto and how excited we are about the movie. You guys know about
the Nancy Babich tees, right? Well I was wearing one…. and stuck my chest out
proudly, announcing: “We made Nancy Babich tshirts!” Rob smiled HUGE!
He loved it, the shirt I mean, so I was extra happy to tell him that we had one
for him! *happy sigh*

On Rob moved down the short line of fans. Asking names, signing.
Rob said he liked Toronto, someone mentioned something about his red pants and
we all had a good laugh. Dean asked if we were all teachers and didn’t we have
to work in the morning. He was ignored.

It was late so Rob couldn’t do individual photos (in fact Dean tried to get him to go) but Rob said he would do a group photo. Well, not gonna lie, mild chaos ensued while people decided who’s camera, who would take the photo etc. Guess what I did? #evil

Yeah, I stuck to Rob like glue. I watched the chaos and said to Rob (never thought I’d see the day I typed THAT) “This group photo isn’t going to happen. I’m just going to
take one of my own.” *laughs hysterically*

So a very successful night! Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who shared this experience with me. Talk about memories. There are a few more photos in the gallery below. Chauffeur Tink has a book post coming up that will explain the “Pie glop heard ’round the world’. I’m going to have a little sleep now.


Here's the fan encounter from Janners

I am still floating!!!!
I was the one who asked if he was liking Toronto. He lit’rally stopped signing whosever autograph, looked up and into my eyes and answered me. Rob Pattinson and I eye-locked! The last picture is him signing my working script for the play I’m currently in rehearsal for….I will have Rob’s autograph with me for every rehearsal and every performance for luck!!!
He thought my name was Jam…….giggle!
Oh she’ll prolly kill me for this but I asked Debb what he smelled like…..she said “Plaid and boy!” before collapsing on the ground laughing!!
It was a great night! So happy we met him and so happy I got to share it with my lovely, wonderful friends!!!

Thank you for sharing your stories and pics girls. So happy you got to meet him. I love it how every fan confirms and re affirms what we already know about Rob, that he is an amazing human being and loving towards his fans. Love him!!

Chosen to play the boss of Robert Pattinson in David Cronenberg’s ‘Cosmopolis,’ Jay Baruchel did not hide his happiness to start working with the renowned filmmaker on Monday.

“David Cronenberg is one of my heroes,” said Jay Baruchel when he was asked what prompted him to accept the role of boss Eric Packer, played by none other than Robert Pattinson.

“I would take any opportunity to work with Mr. Cronenberg, even serve him his coffee, to have the opportunity to speak and understand how he thinks.”

Jay Baruchel, even if it can not detail the scenario of the feature film, an adaptation of the novel by Don DeLillo, said he has two scenes, “one early in the film and the other at the end.”

“I will arrive on set, do my job and try not to make myself ridiculous,” said one whose career has taken off impressively in recent years.

Jay Baruchel has doubled the voice of main character in Dragon, “nominated for Oscars, and gave the reply to Nicolas Cage in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

“I accepted the role in Cosmopolis without even knowing what it was.” He still managed to speak to David Cronenberg in recent weeks “for him to explain exactly what he wanted and what he expected of me.”

He also detailed his schedule the next few days, during which he will not have much time to rest. “I’m in Toronto on May 19 for trying on costumes, then I fly to Montreal that night. Sunday, I take the train to Toronto and I turn 23 on Monday and Tuesday the 24th. ”
