Robert Pattinson King of Clickbait calls Twilight AN “Arthouse movie”.

Nicholas Barber of BBC Culture spoke with Rob about his career on the eve of The Lighthouse being released in the UK. Below is an extract, but you can read the full interview by clicking on the link above:

“I literally started this year with no job,” he says, referring to 2019. “I remember my agent saying, ‘You’re not really on anybody’s list. The movies are well reviewed, but they aren’t big hits.’ And then a week later I got another call out of the blue: ‘Do you want to be in a Chris Nolan movie?’ I was like: ‘Wait – how did that happen?

As well as featuring in Christopher Nolan’s time-twisting thriller, Tenet, which is released in July, Pattinson is squeezing into the bat suit vacated by Ben Affleck to star in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. But he maintains that he is not plunging into the Hollywood mainstream. Nolan, he argues, is an indie auteur who just happens to have colossal budgets at his disposal, and Batman is one of the “crazy and perverse” characters he usually plays. “Out of all the big roles that I knew of in that kind of realm,” he muses, “there was just something about this one.”

Maybe Pattinson can teach us all a lesson about having the courage of our convictions. By sticking to his own niche taste in films, he gets to be one of the saviours of arthouse cinema – and yet he gets to flirt with blockbusters and be the saviour of Gotham City, too. Who else has a career like his? The only actor who springs to mind, strangely enough, is Pattinson’s Twilight co-star and ex-girlfriend, Kristen Stewart. He grins so widely at this comparison that his eyes crinkle up and disappear. “That’s because no one realised that Twilight was an arthouse movie. It’s part of the same thing. In a few years, people will suddenly realise – ah, it was arthouse! I totally missed it!”

Robert Pattinson talks Dior, Twitter, Podcasts and More with W Mag

Robert Pattinson talks to W Magazine ahead of the launch of the new Dior Homme. Here’s an extract, but you can read the entire interivew by clicking on the link above:

Can you remember the first fragrance you ever wore? 

I was thinking about this earlier. I think it was Joe Bloggs. I think my dad had it. Do you know the kind you get at a gas station and it just says “cologne”? I think it was that, or maybe Old Spice. I used to pretend to shave when I was a kid before I needed to shave and I put it on all the cream and everything and then did the whole process.

What is your earliest memory of fragrance beyond that?

I used to put it on when I’d be on holiday with my sisters. They’d be teenagers getting ready and I’d put on some kind of after shave and then grease my hair back with Vaseline and put it into a little rattail ponytail at the back and put on cycling shorts and everyone had to call me Johnny.

…

What is the first thing you read in the morning?

Google myself. Just kidding. I really like Twitter. My Twitter feed is really good now because I’ve kind of got the most eclectic sort of sources of anything you could really possibly imagine. I have no idea what’s happening in the normal news whatsoever, but I know really random stuff all the time. 

…

What podcasts have you been into lately?

I really do like the true crime ones—I think I play those most. You know what else I really love, which I think is so funny, Dear Joan and Jericha. And there’s this thing called Man In the Window, which was absolutely terrifying, which I fell asleep on a plane listening to and had the most awful nightmare. Absolutely awful story.

Robert Pattinson talks The Batman, The Lighthouse and his movies post Twilight

Clark Collis from Entertainment Weekly talks to Rob about The Lighthouse, his movie choices and directors post Twilight and The Batman. The whole interview is great, but Rob talking why he was interested in The Batman starts at 14.48. Of course the fact that Jack Nicholson was involved in that franchise would pique his interests. He also talks about finding out about The Batman on his first day on the #Tenet set and talking to Christopher Nolan.

Robert Pattinson New Promotional Still for Tenet

USA Today featured this new still as part of their 12 movies we can’t wait to see in 2020:

For years, Christopher Nolan fans yearned for the filmmaker to do a James Bond movie. Instead they’ll get this mysterious spy thriller that, like his twisty heist film “Inception,” uses its genre “to give an audience a sort of familiar grounding at the beginning of the tale, but then take them someplace hopefully they haven’t been before,” says Nolan, who grew up “loving that idea about escapist cinema and a movie that can take you all over the world and follow one particular character through a great adventure.” The hero of “Tenet,” played by John David Washington, is “a very kinetic” figure “with the ability to draw an audience in (where) you watch the story through their eyes.”
