Rob recently spoke to Premiere magazine for his Mickey 17 promo. Although we posted the translation (read the whole interview at hyerplink) IndieWire had this to say:
“Robert Pattinson recently shared how his co-star Zendaya eased his overthinking as an actor. Pattinson, who co-stars with the “Challengers” actress in Kristoffer Borgli’s upcoming A24 film “The Drama,” told French publication Premiere that Zendaya made him less “crazy” amid his dissection of the script.
We had a scene together that was driving me crazy,” Pattinson said of filming the feature. “I was desperately looking for its meaning, writing pages and pages of textual analysis. I ended up calling Zendaya the night before shooting the scene. I shared my doubts with her, I spoke for two hours, and after a while, very calmly, she made me understand that the line just said what it meant to say, that there was no hidden meaning.
He added, “And there I was going crazy for three days.”
Perhaps Pattinson’s analysis of the script is an indicator of just how twisted the film’s plot might prove to be, as filmmaker Borgli knows his way around messed-up stories. He previously helmed the trippy “Dream Scenario,” also for A24 and the darkly funny “Sick of Myself.” Also of note: “The Drama” is produced by horror and suspense mastermind Ari Aster.”
