Robert Pattinson debuting his films in Cannes since 2012

Robert Pattinson has had 3 movies premiere at Cannes - Cosmopolis and Maps to the Stars in competition, The Rover as midnight special.  Three debuts and he’s about to add one more with Good Time.  Let’s relive one of my favourite interviews of Robert and David Cronenberg from 2012.

 

and how about some reviews | comments.  The Wrap was spot on in 2014 with their prediction.

The Guardian thought that Cosmpolis “is flat-out marvellous, a 21st-century American horror story, haunted by “the glow of cyber-capitalism”. David Cronenberg does an elegant job of converting Don DeLillo’s chilly, mysterious prose to the screen, while the performances have just the right wonky, off-kilter intensity.

While Robbie Collins from The Telegraph UK thought “Robert Pattinson gives a sensationally controlled central performance in David Cronenberg’s film Cosmopolis”

In 2014, the media had this to say:

Variety (2014):

Whoever worried this year’s Cannes Film Festival was short on stars only needed to take a stroll through the Vanity Fair Party on Saturday night at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, which looked like the Oscars in May.

….

But the actor with the biggest smile on his face may have been Robert Pattinson, who earned some of his best reviews yet for “The Rover,” the Australian action film directed by David Michod which screened to critics over the weekend. He also had strong buzz going into Monday’s competition debut of “Maps to the Stars,” a drama directed by David Cronenberg.

“He’s incredibly respectful,” Pattinson told Variety, saying he would love to collaborate with Cronenberg again. The two first worked together on 2012′s “Cosmopolis.”

As we count down to the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, let’s look back at Rob’s interview with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association during the 2014 Festival. Rob attended the Cannes premiere of the “The Rover” and talks about auditioning (which he hates, by the way ) and how excited he was at the prospect of working with David Michod.

Simon Thompson from London Live does his best to interview Robert and Guy during the Rover Promo Tour in 2014.

The dynamics here, along with the story telling had me in stitches and by the time I got to the 2.30 to 2.50 mark (crickets and bugs and rinse me Pattinson), I spat my drink.  I could see the determination in the Aussie huntsmen spider and who could blame it. lol

This gives me the happy Friday kinda feels, so do yourself a favour, press play and relive the fun times to get you to the weekend.

[I think through all the promo frenzy back in 2014, I’d only managed to watch this interview the once (possibly two?) – so it feels all fun and brand new].
