Robert Pattinson Thanks Fans For ‘Wonderful’ Support

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Robert Pattinson arrives to the ‘Cosmopolis’ premiere at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, on August 13, 2012 Caption A smartly dressed Robert Pattinson stepped out in New York City on Monday evening, for the premiere of his new film, “Cosmopolis,” marking the star’s first public event since news of Kristen Stewart’s cheating scandal broke.

But despite the recent headlines, Robert was focused on his film — and his fans.

Hitting the red carpet, the actor expressed remorse over not being able to take care of his fans’ red carpet wishes – an autograph from their “Twilight” hunk.

“Every time I’ve done [a premiere] in New York it’s pretty crazy, but there’s absolutely no way to sign anything,” he laughed while chatting with Access Hollywood on the “Cosmopolis” red carpet. “That’s the only problem.”

Dozens of fans held up signs of support for Rob as he hit his premiere, after an appearance on Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show,” and the actor was thankful for their support.

“It’s great,” he said of the fan reaction and support. “It’s wonderful.”

Robert is proud of his new film, and he said shooting most of his scenes in a limo actually provided some comfort.

“It makes it easier… I was extremely nervous at the beginning. It’s a complicated script, so just having anything where you can have some kind of security, some kind of stability in it, just made it more comfortable for me, especially the caliber of actors and stuff,” Robert told Access. “People way more experienced than me — as long as I had my limo and I had the same seat, it was just a lot easier.”

According to fans who attended “The Daily Show” taping, Jon presented Robert with a bowl of ice cream and discussed his own previous romantic lows.

Montant un Robert Pattinson bien habillé, sortant dans New York lundi soir, pour la première de son nouveau film, "Cosmopolis", marquant la première apparition publique de la star depuis que les infos sur le scandale de la tromperie de Kristen Stewart sont sorties.

Mais malgré les récents gros titres, Robert était concentré sur son film - et ses fans.

Marchant sur le tapis rouge, l'acteur manifeste des remords de ne pas avoir pu s'occuper de ses fans sur le tapis rouge autant qu'il l'aurait souhaiter - Un autographe de la part du beau mec de Twilight.

"Chaque fois que j'ai fait une première à New York c'était assez fou, mais il n'y a pas moyen de signer quoique ce soit," dit-il en rigolant alors qu'il discute avec Access Hollywood sur le tapis rouge de "Cosmopolis". "C'est le seul problème."

Des douzaines de fans ont montré des signes de support à Rob lors de son avant-première, après son apparition au Daily Show de Jon Stewart, et l'acteur était reconnaissant pour leur support.

Robert est fier de son nouveau film, et il raconte que tourner la plupart de ses scènes dans une limousine a été réconfortant.

"Ca rend les choses plus facile...J'étais extrêmement nerveux au début. C'est un script compliqué, donc faire les choses là ou vous pouvez avoir une sensation de sécurité, de stabilité, a rendu les choses plus confortable pour moi, surtout avec le calibre des acteurs et de l'équipe," raconte Robert à Access. "Les gens était bien plus expérimenter que moi - Tant que j'avais ma limousine et que j'avais le même siège, c'était beaucoup plus simple."

eOne VP Talks Cosmopolis Release and Rob's Commitment to the Movie

Entertainment One picked up Cosmopolis as a finished film just ahead of its premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The film opened soon after its somewhat disappointing box office debut in Cronenberg’s native Canada, although the barrage of press in the U.S. surrounding the film’s main star, Robert Pattinson, and his legion of die-hard fans may provide the title some reversal of fortune at least initially. Beyond the hype, it should also play well to Cronenberg’s most ardent fans noted eOne’s VP theatrical, marketing and distribution Dylan Wiley. “I think this movie is Cronenberg at his most ‘Cronenbergiest,” said Wiley. Pattinson and Cronenberg “have a wide audience and if they catch on, we’ll take it out as wide as it will go.” Wiley noted that the natural audiences for Pattinson, Cronenberg and Cosmopolis novelist David DeLillo don’t “share much overlap,” so the potential appeal is wide. “On the marketing side, it’s about harnessing the multiple awareness we already have. Obviously Pattinson has his fan-base and Don LeLillo has his target audience. Cronenberg has a bit older, smart and affluent following along with younger males and the hipster crowd.”

Asked if the recent flurry of Pattinson-centered press that erupted following revelations of relationship trouble with his Twilight Saga co-star Kristen Stewart had changed any of their marketing or release plans, Wiley said no. “To Rob’s credit, he has fulfilled everything he’s been asked to do and more,” said Wiley. “It’s a testament to him personally and also about what he feels about this movie and what it means to him and his development as an actor. [For him] the focus has been only on the movie. He’s been very professional in keeping the focus on his work for Cosmopolis.” The film’s U.S. release this weekend had already been pre-set months ago. “We’re doing an accelerated platform release, playing the Landmark in Los Angeles and the Sunshine and Lincoln Center in New York,” said Wiley. “Cronenberg will do Q&As at Lincoln Center. We know the audiences there will be naturally huge for him because of the number of fans he has in New York, and we expect the film to play there a long time. Next week, we’ll add 20 markets and then around the 31st, we’ll add more which will bring the film up to about 50 markets.”

à l'occasion j'aime ca

eOne VP parle de la sortie de Cosmopolis et de l'engagement de Rob dans le film

Entertainment One a choisi Cosmopolis comme le film était fini juste avant l'avant première au festival de Cannes cette année. Le film a eu des débuts décevants au box office dans le pays natal de Cronenberg, le Canada, bien que le barrage de la presse aux U.S.A entourant la star principale du film , Robert Pattinson, et sa légion de fans dévoués n'ait apporté au film un revers de fortune du moins au départ. Sous cette folie,on peut aussi dire que le fan le plus ardent de Cronenberg a fait remarquer au responsable marketing et distribution de eOne, Dylan Wiley. “Je pense que ce film est un Cronenberg au top de son art,” dit Wiley. Pattinson et Cronenberg “ont un large public et si on y parvient, on sortira le film le plus largement possible.” a remarqué Wiley ) propos du public naturel de Pattinson, Cronenberg et du romancier derrière Cosmopolis Don DeLillo qui ne partage pas “un tel public,” l'attrait potentiel est donc large. “Sur le plan marketing, il s'agit de regrouper les différentes perceptions que l'on a . Il est évident que Pattinson a ses fans et que Don LeLillo a son public cible. Cronenberg a des fans un peu plus âgé , plus intelligent et plus, affluent parmi lesquels des jeunes hommes et une foule plus branchée”

Interrogé sur le fait que l'attention récente de la presse sur Pattinson suite aux révélations sur les relations troubles avec sa collègue de Twilight , Kristen Stewart, avait changé leur marketing ce qu'ils avaient prévu pour la sortie, Wiley a dit que non. “Pour noter le mérite de Rob, il a fait tout ce qu'on lui a demandé et bien plus encore,” dit Wiley. “C'est un témoignage pour lui personnellement et sur ce qu'il ressent sur le film et ce que ça signifie pour lui et pour son développement en tant qu'acteur. Il ne s'est concentré que sur le film. Il a été très professionnel et a gardé le cap sur son travail dans Cosmopolis.” le films sort ce weekend aux USA et cela était déjà prévu depuis des mois. “On va faire une sortie accélérée et on va passer le film au Landmark de Los Angeles et au Sunshine et au Lincoln Center de New York,” dit Wiley. “Cronenberg fera un Q&As au Lincoln Center. On sait que le public sera en masse pour lui car il a de nombreux fans à New York, et on espère que le film restera longtemps là bas. La semaine prochaine, on ajoutera 20cinémas et le 31 août , on ajoutera d'autres cinémas , ce qui portera le nombre à 50”

Denise Cronenberg parle de Robert

Was the suit Robert Pattinson wore in the film custom designed or can mere civilians get their hands on it, too?
The suit Eric wears in the film is by Gucci: the Signoria, two-button notch lapel, in black. It is definitely available to mere civilians.

It’s a great suit. When you picked it, how did you know this was the suit?
Clothes make the man. The suit, the white shirt and slim black tie, the shoes and belt (all by Gucci) helped Rob become Eric. Once Rob put the clothes on, I could feel the character, and looking at him completely dressed in the fitting, I knew I had made the right choice. And it doesn’t hurt that he wears suits beautifully.

Twenty-five years of dressing actors also helped in the decision. I actually knew it was the right suit just looking at it even before the fitting with Rob. The cut and fabric were beautiful, which is why I chose it.

Men’s style editors love to talk about wearing a suit three or four different ways; Rob’s teaching a master class on that in the film. How does each evolution (fully suited, sans tie, just the trousers and shirt) relate to Eric’s progression over the day?
After reading the script and talking to the director, it was clear that Eric wore the suit well pressed and impeccably styled in the beginning. But as his life started to unravel, his clothes would too.

I always leave room for the actor to decide just how far his shirt should be unbuttoned, or how he feels about a tie or no tie, a jacket or no jacket—whatever would help him play the scene. We (David, Rob, and I) decided Eric should never be too much of a mess.

We would have tried to take the wardrobe home after shooting wrapped. Does that ever happen?
Yes, people do take, or try to take, clothing home during and after a film. Rob did take one of his suits home (we had seven of them), but I asked him if he would like one. He has so many suits personally that he really doesn’t need any more.

You did one hell of a job dressing Rob for the film. What advice would you give him, if any, for dressing for the red carpet?
It’s not difficult to dress Rob and make him look terrific. He wears suits so well, and Gucci fits him so well. My advice to him is to keep doing exactly what he has been doing—wearing Gucci. You can’t go wrong.

And how about for daily life?
Rob's off-camera look is very relaxed, and it’s his personal taste. There’s also an element of trying to hide, with something like a baseball cap, but really, it’s comfortable. That’s who he is.

Trad à venir...

Est ce que le costume que portait Robert Pattinson dans le film a été fait sur mesure ou est ce qu'un simple civil peut l'avoir aussi ?

Le costume que porte Eric dans le film est fait par Gucci : The Signoria, deux boutons à revers, en noir. C'est définitivement disponible pour les simples civils.

C'est un super costume. Quand vous l'avez choisi, comment saviez vous que c'était le bon ?

Les vêtements font l'homme. Le costume, la chemise blanche et la cravate fine noire, les chaussures et la ceinture (tous fait par Gucci) ont aidé Rob à devenir Eric. Une fois que Rob avait mis les vêtements, je pouvais ressentir le personnage, et en le regardant complètement habillé durant les essayages, j'ai su que j'avais fait le bon choix. Et ça ne fait pas de mal qu'il porte le costume merveilleusement bien.

25 ans à habiller des acteurs ont aidé à prendre une décision. Je savais que c'était le bon costume simplement en le regardant, avant même l'essayage avec Rob. La coupe et la fabrique étaient superbe, c'est pourquoi je l'ai choisi.

Les rédacteurs de mode adorent parler du fait qu'on peut porter un costume de 3 ou 4 façon différentes; Rob fait un cours sur ce sujet dans le film. Comment chaque évolutions (complètement habillé, sans la cravate, juste le pantalon et la chemise) relatent la progression d'Eric durant la journée ?

Après avoir lu le script et parlé au réalisateur, il était clair qu'Eric portait le costume tiré à 4 épingles et impeccablement stylisé au début. Mais alors que sa vie se disloque, ses vêtements aussi.

Je quitte toujours la pièce pour que l'acteur décide jusqu'où il veut que sa chemise soit déboutonnée, ou qu'il décide s'il veut porter une cravate, une veste ou non - tout ce qui peut l'aider à jouer la scène. Nous (David, Rob et moi) avons décidé qu'Eric ne devait jamais vraiment être mal habillé.

Nous aurions essayé de garder la garde-robe après la fin du tournage. Est-ce que c'est déjà arrivé ?

Oui, des personne le font, ou essayent de ramener les vêtements chez eux durant et après un film. Rob a pris un de ses costumes (Nous en avions 7), mais je lui ai demandé s'il en voulait un. Il a tellement de costumes qu'il n'en a pas besoin de plus.

Vous avez fait un super travail en habillant Rob pour le film. Quel conseil, voir plusieurs, lui donneriez vous pour s'habiller pour un tapis rouge ?

Ce n'est pas difficile d'habiller Rob et de le rendre incroyable. Il porte le costume si bien, et Gucci est fait pour lui. Mon conseil pour lui est de continuer à faire ce qu'il fait - porter du Gucci. Vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper.

Et qu'en est-il pour la vie de tout les jours

Derrière la caméra, Rob a l'air très décontracté, et ce sont ses goûts personnels. Il essaye également de se cacher, avec quelque chose comme une casquette, mais vraiment, c'est confortable. C'est qui il est.

David parle de robert

Robert Pattinson. There were plenty of people who were a little surprised when you picked him for the role, but I have to say he gives a really sublime performance. You knew what you were doing, clearly — so what was it that drew you to Robert?

Cronenberg: Well, casting always starts in a very pragmatic way. It’s, “Is this guy the right age for the character?” “Does he have the right sort of physique, the right screen presence?” “Is he available, and if so, can you afford him? Does he want to do it?” You know, all of those things. But then you do your homework as a director, more specifically, and you watch stuff. I watched Little Ashes, in which Rob plays a young Salvador Dali; I watched Remember Me; I watched the firstTwilight movie. And I watched — interestingly enough, I suppose, because people wouldn’t expect it — but you watch interviews with the guy on YouTube, you know. I want to get an idea of his sense of humor, his sense of himself, the way he handles himself, his intelligence — all of those things you can’t really tell from watching an actor play a role in a movie. I suppose in the old days you meet the guy and hang out, and go to a bar or whatever — [laughs] — but these days nobody has time for that, or the money, and so you do it some other way. And once I’d done all that stuff, I thought, This is the guy I want. I thought, He’d be terrific and I actually think he’s a very underrated actor — and it would be my pleasure to prove that by casting him.

I think a lot of people will share that opinion after seeing the film. Was he difficult to get? I mean, he’s clearly up for it, based on his performance, but how do you go about getting Robert Pattinson?

Cronenberg: Basically, I wrote the script before I went into production on A Dangerous Method, so Rob got the script about a year before we were really shooting. He’s a very down to earth guy, and he was surprised that anybody would want him. [Laughs] It sounds odd, I know. Of course, he knows that his name adds value because of his star power, but he knew my movies, and he knew I was a serious director, and I think he was nervous, you know — I think he was afraid, because he knew it was good. He immediately loved the script, especially because he thought it was very funny — and the movie is funny; a lot of people maybe don’t see that the first time around — and the script was funny as well. But also he had seen enough of the now conventional stuff that he gets offered to see how different this was, and how it stood out — and the quality of Don’s writing, because the dialogue is really 100 per cent from the novel. So I really had to convince him that I knew he was the right guy and that he could do it. And you’d be very surprised that a lot of actors, and very experienced ones, too — not just young ones — they worry that they don’t want to wreck your movie. They don’t want to be the bad thing in your movie that brings it down. They need to be convinced that they’re good enough, especially if they know it’s good. He said — and I know this ’cause of interviews that we’ve done together, and I hear him saying these things — that usually the dialogue is so bad that you, the actor, figure that you are responsible for trying to make it interesting, just by the way you spin it. But in this case the dialogue was great, and it’s a completely reversed worry: “Am I good enough to get the best out of this?” So it took me about 10 days, and Rob said he was afraid to call me back because he’s used to bullshitting directors, like all actors do — but because I’d written the script he couldn’t do that with me. [Laughs] You know, actors can really tie themselves in knots, when really he just should’ve said, “Yes, I’ll do it.”

Was there a point during shooting where he realized, “Hey, I am good enough for this,” or did you have to encourage him constantly?

Cronenberg: No, it’s not like he’s so insecure or anything like that. I never saw any of that on the set. I know he was constantly checking himself out and wondering if it was good, but I didn’t feel that he needed an inordinate amount of that kind of encouragement, really. We just did it. He could tell. The best way for an actor to tell, ultimately, is that it wasn’t long before we were just doing one or two takes of everything — and that means the actor knows it’s working.

Well it appears that you’ve started something of a trend now David, because Werner Herzog has just cast him in his next film.

Cronenberg: Well that pleases me no end, and I think that obviously this is what Rob needs. They just need to see that he’s really, really good and really, really subtle; and that he can do a lot of different stuff. Once you break through that barrier then I think there’ll be no turning back.

He only seems to connect with people on a very primal, and often violent, level — be it sex, murder… or getting a haircut. That seems to be the only way in which he can cut through all the other stuff. Is that him devolving, his desire for self-destruction?

[...]

I think when he’s sitting in the barber’s chair, certainly at the beginning, he is like a child. That’s the lovely thing about Rob’s performance, you really see the vulnerability; underneath it all there’s this kind of childlike sweetness there for a moment or two. It’s a very beautifully layered performance. But that’s not working — and the current Eric Packer takes over. He has to do extreme things to be able to feel anything and to be able to feel excitement and to feel alive. So that’s what leads him to the end scene with Paul Giamatti.

There’s a really magic shot in the film — perhaps my favorite moment in his performance, also — when he’s stumbling down the alley with the gun, and he’s looking for Paul Giamatti, and there’s this particular look that comes over his face in that one moment and you can see his derangement. It was really wonderfully played.

Cronenberg: Yeah, it was beautiful. It was the only take that Rob did exactly that on, and I thought, Well that’s the take. It was unexpected. I mean, Rob was constantly surprising me, I have to tell you, with things like that. Lovely, lovely things that were spontaneous but dead-on.

Autre interview ou david parle de Rob

Anne Thompson: Why did you cast "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson as your ice-cold 28-year-old Master of the Universe?
David Cronenberg: Of course you begin with the basics. Is he the right age for the character? Does he feel convincing as a screen presence? Obviously you need someone with charisma to hold the audience for the entire movie. He's in every scene without exception, that's unusual. You want someone proven, who people want to watch, who will never be boring. I knew I would be crawling all over his face for the entire movie, so I wanted someone whose face is constantly changing, through all the angles. And he had to have chops for tricky dialogue. The art of casting is to intuit, to see from what he's done before that he could do this.

Was there a particular performance that gave you confidence?
I saw him in "Little Ashes" as the young Salvador Dali. He does a Spanish accent, he was not afraid to play a character of ambiguous sexuality and eccentricity. That probably of all the things I saw made me think he was the right guy.

Did you cast Pattinson with a certain likeability factor in mind, so that audiences would like him in spite of the character he is playing? Feel some vulnerablity?
I really don't care. I want the lead character in a movie to be interesting, fascinating and complex, but to be likeable to me is way down the list. It's not on the list, because it is a simplistic thing for the lead character to must be likable. He has to be watchable, that's the key, and fascinating, and likeable if it works for the project, fine, let him be likeable. If not I don't worry about it.

There are actors who do not want to play unlikeable characters, afraid it will damage their credibility as stars or effect them personally. Actors who are more interested in being actors than stars, like Viggo Mortensen, don't worry about being likeable or not on screen.

How did Pattinson surprise you?
He literally surprised me every day, as he read dialogue and interacted with the other actors. We were throwing different factors at him almost very day because of the stucture of the screenplay. He really has extended scenes. With one actor at the end, Paul Giamatti, he really let it fly, in that he didn't cling to a preconceived idea of what he should be doing. He reacted spontaneously to other actors as they surprised him and he surprised them. He was terrific and not predictable and dead-on accurate.

How many takes do you do?
One or two. The whole last shot was a long take with Giamatti, three minutes in that last 22-minute scene.
