UPDATED: 6 April 2020

Bringing this forward as we’re celebrating Rob’s performance in Cosmopolis as our Movie Monday on Twitter and Instagram today. I posted this back in August 2018 – so it’s actually almost 8 years since we were blessed with this great performance.

It’s hard to believe that Cosmopolis came out 6 years ago, but I’m glad it did and it can certainly be considered the precursor for so many brilliant performances from Rob since that time.  It should be no surprise then that I thought we should kickstart the week by celebrating Rob’s performance in this film.  Thank you Mr Cronenberg for believing in Rob and helping to unlock the potential we all knew was there.  Say hello to Eric Michael Packer …

Jarin Blaschke talks favourite scene with Robert Pattinson with The Hollywood Reporter

THR spoke with Jarin Blaschke, the cinematographer for The Lighthouse – which also gave us two new stills featuring Rob – and this is what he had to say about his favourite scene from the film:

Asked about a favorite sequence, he notes that he’s particularly proud of a scene in which Winslow descends upon a sleeping Wake to snatch a logbook resting on his chest. He then reaches for Wake’s lantern keys before pulling out his knife, which he aims directly at Wake’s throat.

“It was very difficult to not envision this scene as a series of static close-ups intercutting between Pattinson’s face, a POV of each detail he’s coveting, his hand reaching, then with the knife,” Blaschke admits, adding that instead he decided to place the camera on the other side of the action, dollying between magnified targets of Winslow’s attention in the foreground as Winslow’s hand remains in frame as the “performer.” This eliminated the need for cuts to Pattinson’s face while still connecting his points of interest.

“The decisive camera moves still indicate glances of his eye, even though we are completely on the ‘wrong’ side to do so,” Blaschke explains. “Simultaneously, we can also experience this as Thomas Wake, and all of this is happening ‘to us.’ And, because we are on this side, it then positions us to finally tilt up and form a medium close-up of Pattinson’s face at the end of the shot.” At this point there’s a cut to an extreme close-up of Wake’s eye opening, which the DP designed for “heightened impact due to the dearth of prior cuts.”

The decision to move the camera rather than rely on edits underscored Blaschke’s commitment to working economically as much as possible during the 34-day shoot. “The more shots you have, the less each shot means,” he says. “Consequentially, and equally important: Each cut in the film then loses its power too.”

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.”

Thanks to @StephCav_3 for the find and @Ailana169 for the heads up

Robert Pattinson with Valeriia Karaman in #TheLighthouse

Valeriia Karaman who played the mermaid in The Lighthouse shared this still with Rob on her instagram. According to Google Translate:

“Our common photo with Pattinson, and what did you achieve? 🙂 yelling.
If I had been told about this 10-15 years ago, I would have screamed a fucking shit, I won’t take off the pier and will never hang with pop actors. Well. Here we go, as a spokesman … Bitch, this tail weighed 20-30 kg and it was very painful and “wearing” it for a long time.”

Наша общая фотография с Паттинсоном, а чего добился ты?:) ору. Если бы мне об этом рассказали лет 10-15 назад, я бы орала фуууууууу какой пэзор, я не сниму пирсу и не буду никогда висеть с попсовыми актерами. Ну что ж. Here we go, как говорицца… Сука, этот хвост весил 20-30 кг и было очень больно и долго его «носить».
