David Michôd talks casting Robert Pattinson as Rey in #TheRover
David Michôdtalked to HitFix back in May 2014 about casting Robert Pattinson as ‘Rey’ in ‘The Rover and this is what HitFix and David had to say:
The 41-year-old filmmaker had worked with Pearce in “Animal
Kingdom” and both he and Joel Edgerton, who received a shared story-by
credit, created Eric with him in mind. Pattinson, on the other hand, was a
different story. Michôd had a general meeting with the actor before he
“The Rover” became his follow-up and says he just immediately liked
him.
“I found him really beguiling and I loved his physical energy, and he was smart and had a wonderfully open face,” Michôd recalls. “When it came time to start testing for the character, I knew I wanted to see him, but yeah, I didn’t know what he was capable of. I think he knew that people didn’t know what he was capable of as well and so he was very willing to work and work hard. But very quickly when he came in to test for me I could just see this skill set that he just hasn’t been able to showcase.”
As an Australian it is fantastic to hear that Rob had such a special connection with this film. Selfishly so did RPAU – where we had the chance to interview Rob on The Rover Red Carpet and ask him about his tattoos in the film. Special film for special memories. Here’s what Rob had to say before introducing the film at Karlovy Vary:
