Robert Pattinson liked that the Safdie Brothers were energetic, authentic, wild and almost uncontrollable

Talky Movie! (Italy) sat down and spoke with Robert, the Safdie Brothers, Taliah and Buddy.  Below is an extract, but you should click on the link to read the full interview (translation via Google):

For this film you have received critical ratings / best reviews of your career. Where would you want to point to your work from here, which direction would you take your career from this point on?

Robert Pattinson: When I accepted the role I said that I would be paid to all that they asked me to do, to actor level, and to me they have “exploited” fully. I introduced myself to casting with an accent of Denver not to make his English spoken) I also have the next film to make more precise decisions about my career, at the moment I am very happy and satisfied, however.

They were all very convincing and believable in their roles, what was the process of preparing for the latter? How did you work on the accent Robert?

Robert Pattinson: The script, in fact, was personified and embodied several times before arriving at the final interpretive result. So much time was spent, that none of the script proves forced. Even the presence of photographers and paparazzi on the set also helped because almost everyone was trying to disappear and not to be recognized and this has been poured in the interpretation of my character. Even the makeup has been a determining factor in this: When we were shooting down the street or in the subway was not being recognized, even with the camera a few feet from me.

“Robert Pattinson delivers an unforgettable performance in “Good Time”, a serious candidate for the male performance award”

  imgbox

I know Robert was doing press and roundtables in Cannes on 25 and 26 May 2017, so it’s good to see interviews slowly trickling through.  Here’s what Robert had to say to Le Parisien:

Is not that your best role?

Robert Pattinson. What is certain is that it was one of my favorite experiences. It was such a crazy adventure. At the beginning, there was not even a scenario and then, we find ourselves in competition in Cannes …

This is your fourth Festival. Do you feel at home?

I love coming here. For me, it is the pinnacle to present a film.

Robert Pattinson going “above and beyond” for his performance in GOOD TIME

image host

Orlando Parfitt of ScreenDaily sat down and spoke with Josh and Benny Safdie, currently in Cannes, in relation to Robert Pattinson and Good Time.  Here’s an extract:

How did the film come together?

JS: We were dead set on this other film which we’re now doing called Uncut Gems, and [our last film] Heaven Knows What was about to be released. Robert [Pattinson] saw a still for that and something spoke to him about that, the colours, the image itself, he became obsessed with getting in touch with us. Then he saw the trailer and said: ‘now I need to meet with you’. Then he saw the film and said explicitly ‘whatever you’re doing next, I want to be a part of it, even if it means doing the catering’.

He didn’t sit in the diamond district world very well [for Uncut Gems], I was honest with him about that, and there was another world we were mulling, and we said maybe can write something for you in Good Time.

What was it like to work with Robert Pattinson?

Benny Safdie: I have so much respect for how deep he went, the places he went, the people he met, just his level of commitment, 16 hours a day, he was willing to do whatever. It was cold, I was playing the brother in a wheelchair, and we said to him ‘we don’t need you for this shot’, but he would stay and push me around in the cold. He said: “I need that, to take it that far”. He went above and beyond.

JS: We bought Rob to a lot of active jails. He turned up in character in the hope that he inmates wouldn’t recognise him as a movie star. We pushed our start date on purpose in an effort to buy more prep time and I would say there was 3-4 months of character prep for him, which is a lot for a movie star in his career.

Josh and Benny Safdie talk Good Time & Robert Pattinson with Cahiers du Cinema

 imgbox

Cahier du Cinema also includes an interview with Josh and Benny Safdie as part of their Cannes special issue and it’s so full of information. I can’t wait to see Josh, Benny and Rob do the press junket for Cannes, I bet Josh gets asked about that toilet way too many times:

The three brothers interview with Josh & Benny Safdie by Stéphane Delorme (Maria: Mad Love in New York is the French title for Heaven Knows What)

LCDC: We are one month away from the festival: is the film complete?

Josh: Almost: Oneohtrix Point Never made the music, and for the end they wanted a song en interaction with the film. We asked Iggy Pop, and he sings an incredible song in the style of Johnny Cash. Do you know how I learned we were in competition? Six months ago I was in Los Angeles at Robert Pattinson’s house. He has Japanese toilet that blows hot air. I had never experienced such a thing … I loved it so much that Robert said to me: if we go in competition, I buy you the same. And we were invited out of competition. Six hours before the press conference, we had a meeting to find out if we were really out of competition, because at the same time we were invited to the Quinzaine, and Rob was trying to contact me over and over again, but I was at this meeting, and suddenly he sent me a text message with a photo of the toilet! Thierry Frémaux had just announced him we were in competition. I was extremely surprised! It was extraordinary.

LCDC: Is the film hard to finance, even with a star like Robert Pattinson?

Josh: Yes, very hard. It is a genre film, but we didn’t want typical actors of genre films, we wanted people in particular, we wanted them to be related to real life. This is the film on which we spent the most time. Ten months for editing. We had to re-shoot some scenes, we added an entire section with Jennifer Jason Leigh. It was our biggest budget, but we didn’t have enough money.

Benny: And the shooting was difficult! At first it was a 26 days shoot, in the end we shot 33 or 34 days. We spent long days in the cold, it’s a nocturnal movie since the hero is a fugitive criminal. Afterwards, we remember the best moments, but they are buried under so much effort, work and difficulties! In addition, my son is born two weeks before the beginning, we shot 16 hours a day, and when I went home I changed nappies … I hardly slept. It was a very intense period and I think you can feel it on the screen.

Robert Pattinson & Charlie Hunnam undertake acting experiment on set of The Lost City of Z

image host

I know quite a few questionable media sites ran with the “Robert Pattinson Snubbed Charlie Hunnam” story because they just love their clickbait.  For those of us who follow Robert’s career, we just knew that everyone loves working with him and clearly the comment may have been taken out of context.  Slant Magazine interviewed Charlie Hunnam and his response sounds more plausible than the clickbait sites.  Here’s the extract:

You and Robert Pattinson didn’t speak on set, as I understand you both wanted to meet on screen as your characters without distraction and “go method.” How would interacting with him off set during filming have detracted from your performance?

I’m not sure if it would’ve detracted, but I was always, long before I was involved with this project, interested in the idea that a relationship could exist exclusively between “action” and “cut,” and how that would be as an acting process. It was something I wanted to explore, and with this film, because the requirements were so extreme anyway, and it was in a lot of ways the best opportunity I’d ever been given, I was determined to do everything I could to make the most of it. To honor the gift. Then specifically with Rob, these two characters meet on screen, they don’t know each other prior to the beginning of the story. We shot the film almost sequentially, so it lent itself in an easy way to doing this acting experiment. Rob is really serious about what he does, and I think he also felt the weight of the opportunity. We were excited to do something a little unorthodox and see what would happen. If it wasn’t working, I think we would’ve reevaluated.

James Gray talks Robert Pattinson with LA Weekly

imgbox

LA Weekly interviewed James Gray and this is what he had to say about Robert:

Robert Pattinson has done a lot of interesting work with directors like David Cronenberg, but I would never classify any of it as realist; what he does in a film like Cosmopolis is very arch. But in your film, he completely disappears into the part.

It’s an act of generosity, really. Rob has this ridiculous beard and it’s such great, self-effacing, wonderful work he’s doing. I love actors very much because they do things I could never do. Directors are all frustrated actors anyway, and it’s very exciting as a filmmaker to see an actor who really is that generous with you. It was a very happy shoot — as arduous as it was, brutal as it was.
