David Cronenberg talks Rob … Again
Â
I love hearing thoughts about Rob from his directors. Â Here’s what David said according to Times Colonist:
“Although it marks the first time Cronenberg, known for “A History of Violence” and “Eastern Promises,” has made a film about Hollywood, he said he has been trying to make the movie — based on a script by novelist Bruce Wagner — for a decade.
“I’ve never really been obsessed with doing a movie about movie-making or anything like that, but in a way his script was not that. It’s about ambition and fear and desperation and a whole bunch of other things within the context of movie-making,” he said.
The film reunites Cronenberg with “Cosmopolis” star Robert Pattinson, who the director called “a terrific actor.”
“When we did ‘Cosmopolis,’ he didn’t really want to do it because his character was in every scene. He really wanted to be in an ensemble piece, where he was one of a great cast of actors,” said Cronenberg. “I said, ‘We talked about that and here it is. Here’s a perfect role for you.'”
Such a wise man David C – “We talked about that and here it is” Â read as YOU’RE DOING IT!

David has handed Rob what he truly wants in so many ways. ‘ We talked about that and here it is’ . David has allowed Rob to have the career he dreamt of, but only because he knew Rob could do it.
