Rob and the Safdie brothers sat down with the Associated Press to discuss their crime drama “Good Time” and how Rob managed to stay hidden on the streets of NY while filming.
I’ve added a short excerpt from the Q&A below. You can read it in its entirety HERE.
PATTINSON: I don’t know about the stature of my star, but I think the level of conviction was unusual for me at least. It was like I knew. And then we did the meeting and just agreed to do something. And then also for that to actually happen afterward is even more unusual. People say, “Oh let’s do something together†all the time.
JOSH SAFDIE: I warned you, I said, “Be careful, we are the type of people who when we want to do something we’ll just do it. We’ll figure out a way to do it.â€
BENNY SAFDIE: The movie wouldn’t be here had he not reached out to us.
AP: Was this a different experience for you?
PATTINSON: They run at a different level of energy to most people. It’s nice, though. I was thinking how to describe the movie and it’s like it’s a car crash movie, but the car crash happens in the first five minutes and you’re just skidding for the rest.
Their energy knows no bounds. What a wild ride for Rob.
