David talks Rob – starts at around 10.07 and below is a short transcript. Sit back to watch and listen – the whole interview is interesting. If the video doesn’t play click on Variety link below.
“Pretty much in ways that I fully 100% endorse and love, that character is a Robert Pattinson creation,†the film’s director, David Michôd, said on this week’s episode of Variety and iHeart’s “The Big Ticket†podcast. “A lot it was kept under wraps.â€
Michôd continued, “The great fear always is that you end up with ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ and ridiculous French accents. But at the same time, I kind of needed his character to be kind of absurd.â€
…
“His whole purpose is to be a jerk and to just torment Timmy,†Michôd said. “So I kind of needed him to be a larger-than-life jerk. He needed to be ridiculous. He needed not to have a lot of substance underneath him. He’s just there to annoy.â€
David Michôd and TimotheeChalamet talk working with Robert Pattinson
David and Timothee talk about The King but at 2.41 they talk about working with Rob. And yes Timothee that was nice work asking David for you to work with him and Rob again – fingers crossed for another collaboration.
The King, which stars Timothee Chalamet, Joel Edgerton and Robert Pattinson, will debut on Netflix on November 1 but eager beavers will get to catch it in select cinemas from October 11.
Chalamet will also be on hand to launch the film at a red carpet premiere at the Randwick Ritz in Sydney on October 10.
Following the premiere, The King will have a short run in independent cinemas. It will screen in Victoria at the Classic, Lido and Cameo cinemas, in Sydney at Randwick Ritz, Dendy Newtown and Dendy Opera Quays, in Brisbane at Dendy Portside and Dendy Coorparoo, in Canberra at Dendy Canberra and in Perth at The Backlot. [My emphasis]
David and Joel will also be at the premiere on 10 October.
Here’s a new still of Rob as The Dauphin. There’s also been a screening of The King in Venice and it looks like Rob’s cameo is stealing the show. Here’s a few tweets.
