David Cronenberg Talks About Robert with ET Online

Crawling All Over Pattinson's Face in 'Cosmopolis'

Twilight vamp Robert Pattinson plays a bloodsucker of an altogether different kind – the Wall Street kind – in his new movie Cosmopolis, on Blu-ray and DVD New Year's Day, and the film's director David Cronenberg tells ETonline that he was actually quite impressed with what Rob brought to the table, and that after the baggage of casting -- once you get to that point when you're on set and cameras are rolling -- "Twilight is irrelevant."

"He surprised me every day with good stuff," says Cronenberg. "I don't do rehearsals, and I try not to shape the actor's performance at first. I want to see what his intuition is going to deliver. And then if there's a problem then I start to shape it, nudge it, manipulate it a little bit. I did very little of that with Rob."

Based on the novel by Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis follows one day in the wild life of multi-billionaire asset manager Eric Packer, who travels aimlessly through the streets of New York City in his limousine while conducting investment trading from the back seat. As the day progresses, it devolves into an odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart.

David Cronenberg Talks About Robert with First Post

A lot has been said about your unconventional choice of Robert Pattinson for the lead role.

The thing I liked about Rob Pattinson as an actor is that he’s a serious actor. And you could lose sight of that, because he’s had this big popular success with the Twilight movies, but he is not afraid to play a character who is difficult to like, you know, because some actors are afraid to do that, because they feel it is too personal, that they themselves will not be liked by their audience, and so on. But a real actor is not afraid to play an unsympathetic character, and Rob is a real actor. Also, I think to be an actor, you need intelligence, first of all. For example, Rob immediately realised that the script was quite funny, and most people don’t get that. Then you want sensitivity to the subtleties of the movie, in terms of what is going on in the movie, the dialogue and so on. And Rob, personally, is very knowledgeable about cinema. (chuckles) I don’t think his Twilight fans realise this about him, but he’s really an aficionado about art cinema. I mean, on the set I’d find him talking to Juliette Binoche about obscure French cinema, (chuckles) so you know, he brings a real depth of understanding of the history and art of cinema and all of those things mean that you have a lot of power and a lot of responsiveness from your actor as a director. It’s like driving the Ferrari instead of driving, you know, a Volkwagen Beetle. And you get that with Rob. I must also add, he’s very down to earth and very easy to work with. He’s not diva at all, you know. He’s really a sweetheart.

What Robert Pattinson brings to the role of Eric Packer in Cosmopolis ?

What he brings to it ? I think that to me is quite genious is this teenage aspect of Eric, not in the sense that he is a teenager, he is not a teenager, but he has that kind of ''adolescence'' about him. When Robert says the words I think that sense of he can say it anyway and comes out kind of spectacular, is because of this youthful tearing in him.

David Cronenberg searches for the soul in 'Cosmopolis'

David Cronenberg searches for the soul in 'Cosmopolis'

Is there hope for mankind?

David Cronenberg mulls over the question. Remember, Cronenberg has directed such dark, disturbing and bleak films as "Scanners" (1981), "The Fly" (1986), "Existenz" (1999), "A History of Violence" (2005) and the current "Cosmopolis," based on Don DeLillo's 2003 dystopic novel.

"In my lifetime, yes, I think there's hope for mankind - but my lifetime might not be very long," Cronenberg said, laughing ominously at his own punch line. "The honest answer is yes and no. Who knows? It's such a huge question, but in the moment, as I'm riding my bicycle through the hills outside Toronto and it's quite beautiful and lovely, I say, 'I can't deny the reality of this, and it's great.' I have to feel very positive in that moment.

"At the same time, your head is very easily filled with reports of atrocities and calamities from all over the world," the filmmaker said, speaking by telephone from his home in Toronto. "When you're focused on that, you think, 'Oh my God, the human experiment is a disaster.' So you have both things, and I think you have to focus on those real moments that are positive and beautiful. You have children and grandchildren.

"It's a balancing act."

New Robert Interview with Tovima (Grece)

New Robert Interview with Tovima (Grece)

Cosmopolis star talks about vampires, fame and the woman who sucked his blood.

Blame it on the typecast of pale, out of this world vampire that accompanies him. I don't know what I expected from Robert Pattinson, but what I got up close was a totally grounded behavior, a warm smile (maybe little shy too), an inherent gentleness. Pattinson was at Cannes Film Festival for David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis", a movie where he gave his most demanding performance, which he admitted didn't know how to handle at first.

He asks for mineral water. He is immediately asked about his prostate. It's not a random question - prostate is connected to Pattinson's part in "Cosmopolis". "I wish I knew" the actor says (after a while) when he realizes the reason he is asked this "anatomically indiscreet" question. "I have to have it examined. People say is very important - everybody talks about it. I never exactly understood what prostate is anyway" he comments.
