Robert Pattinson talks filming The Lighthouse
Variety posted this exclusive featurette from A24. Here’s an extract of what Rob had to say:
Craig Lathrop, the film’s production designer, searched for the perfect lighthouse location and eventually found one in Australia, but due to the weight, realized it was better to build it from scratch. Lathrop ended up building the 7-foot lighthouse tower and the keeper’s cottage. Pattinson says, “The set was so particular, you could stand there and know exactly what world you’re in. Robert is so meticulous with design.†Regarding the storms that batter the island, Pattinson says it was, “either raining or we had a rain machine — for three months.â€
