MAGAZINE: Film Comment Interview James Gray “[Pattinson] kind of disappears into the fabric of the film”

“Robert Pattinson is also great” in The Lost City of Z

 

Film Comment interviewed James Gray and have given us this great interview.  There were some wonderful words said about Robert, which I’ve extracted and quoted below.  If you haven’t read the book and you don’t want any spoilers then don’t read further,

Robert Pattinson is also great. There’s such a lack of vanity, and I know that’s a phrase that’s overused in talking about actors, usually so they can get awards, and that’s not what I mean. He just kind of disappears into the fabric of the film. Is that something you worked on with him or that he brought with him?

I certainly didn’t work on that with him, but I noticed him doing it. It’s a remarkable thing to have an actor divest himself, disappear from his star power. I love him in his last scene, when he’s in the tuxedo, and he’s obviously not going to go on that journey. I had a very good time making the film; I think The Immigrant and this were the happiest I have ever been on a set.

Thanks Posh.
