Catherine Bray of Film4 interviewed Anton Corbijn as part of a special feature in preparation for the release of “Life” in the UK on Friday.  Anton was asked this question about Rob:

Did you ever imagine Robert Pattinson as James Dean at all?

Robert’s so nice, and not what you’d expect, so yes, but at the same time, I see a lot of the characteristics of Dennis Stock in Robert. The insecurity, the wanting to prove he’s an actor, much as Dennis wanted to prove he was a photographer. I like these kind of parallel things. I can imagine him wanting to know a lot about the technical details of photography at that time. Yes, Rob got a camera, months ahead of the film, because I wanted him to become familiar with having that with him and taking a picture every now and again and searching for something.”
