“Robert Pattinson is also great” in The Lost City of Z
Â
Film Comment interviewed James Gray and have given us this great interview. Â There were some wonderful words said about Robert, which I’ve extracted and quoted below. Â If you haven’t read the book and you don’t want any spoilers then don’t read further,
Robert Pattinson is also great. There’s such a lack of vanity, and I know that’s a phrase that’s overused in talking about actors, usually so they can get awards, and that’s not what I mean. He just kind of disappears into the fabric of the film. Is that something you worked on with him or that he brought with him?
I certainly didn’t work on that with him, but I noticed him doing it. It’s a remarkable thing to have an actor divest himself, disappear from his star power. I love him in his last scene, when he’s in the tuxedo, and he’s obviously not going to go on that journey. I had a very good time making the film; I think The Immigrant and this were the happiest I have ever been on a set.
Robert Pattinson as Henry Costin in The Lost City of Z
Â
The March edition of Cinema Teaser has a 12 page special on The Lost City of Z including their review. Â Love the new still of Robert Pattinson as Henry Costin.
Mia Goth will star with Robert Pattinson in Claire Denis “High Life”
Â
LRM Online recently interviewed Mia Goth as part of her promo for A Cure for Wellness and this is what Mia had to say about High Life:
LRM: So can you talk about your future projects then?
Mia Goth: Well, I have a movie called SUSPIRIA that is directed by Luca Guadagnino. It’s based on the Dario Argento’s SUSPIRIA. It’s a ballerina joining a dance company. And then she soon realizes that this company is a façade for much more sinister things. Then I have a film that we’ll start soon called HIGH LIFE. It is being directed by Claire Denis. It’s about deep space.
LRM: Well, that is something very different from what you were doing before.
Mia Goth: Yeah, I’m really excited.
LRM: Who are you playing there?
Mia Goth: I play a convict.
LRM: Oh? Oh. That is totally different for you.
Mia Goth: Yeah, yeah. [My emphasis]
We mentioned here, that High Life is scheduled for filming in August 2017 and that’s definitely something I’m looking forward to.
UPDATED: 22 February 2017
Collider interviewed Mia Goth – which is where the above interview probably came from.
According to Polish Film Magazine, Robert Pattinson “High Life” will be filmed in Poland and Germany and is being developed in conjuction with the British Film Institute and Atlantis in the UK. Â I have a vague recollection of reading about that somewhere.
La Septième Obsession interviewed Olivier Assayas about his upcoming film with Robert Pattinson and Sylvester Stallone “Idol’s Eye”
La Septième Obsession (French magazine) interviewed Olivier Assayas for their January issue and asked him about his upcoming film with Robert Pattinson and Sylvester Stallone “Idol’s Eye”.  Loving that this is another project that is hopefully back on track.Â
Facebook Google Translation:
 “La Septième Obsession N° 8: Interview With Olivier Assayas + exclusive documents on the preparation of his next film “Idol”s eye” with Sylvester Stallone and Robert Pattinson.
” the past must constantly be rebuilt. The Directors of the new wave have just reinvented, they asked him: What’s that in the past we serve, can we be useful? It is the role of all generations, they must re-explore the report in the past, to understand what we will be useful in the present.” Olivier Assayas, NO 8 (In Kiosks And Libraries).
Here’s the extract below:
Will all these themes related to the ‘invisible’ be in the movie IDOL’S EYE that you are working on and that you are going to shoot in 2017?
Not necessarily, this is the movie that I wanted to make two years ago, it is more like the movie CARLOS; a film about a diverse news item on which I did extremely precise research to reconstruct all the details. It will be my first American movie. For the script, I needed to feel that I had done a precise job. It’s not my culture, nor my country or my history. I was interested in making an almost documentary-like reconstruction of this diverse news item. The story takes place in Chicago in the late 1970s.Â
Sylvester Stallone will play in the movie. Why him specifically?Â
I have always been a fan of Stallone, since ROCKY (1976), but also of the screenwriter and director that he is. He is always very precise with real authenticity. I’m in need of someone powerful and disturbing to represent Tony Accardo, the head of the Chicago mafia, a very important but little known historical figure. What is so powerful about Stallone is that he is not from middle-class, but working class (blue collar) background.. He has something popular. When you want to talk about the mafia, few actors of his stature could bring such dimension. I get along well with him, I find him very human. At the moment we only met twice. We shared simple things. It’s essential to talk about cinema and discover one another. Stallone is now more a director than an actor. So we share the same difficulties but of course on different levels.
Tony Phillips of Signature Reads attended the New York Film Festival and here is his take on it.  I’ve posted the extract in relation to Robert, but you should click on the link for a reminder of what they endured bringing us this wonderful film:
For Pattinson, who plays Fawcett’s heavily bearded compatriot Henry Costin, the uncharted nature of the project was what drew him to it. “There’s a part in the movie where they look at a map,†Pattinson remembers of darkest Amazon, “and an entire continent is basically unexplored.†Ditto the lower half of Pattison’s face, which is covered in thick scruff for most of the film. “Half the pople who see the movie won’t even recognize me,†he laughs, explaining he couldn’t wait to shave it off after the shoot, describing the whole process of growing the beard “laborious†and “disgusting.†He also needed to put back on some of the thirty-five pounds he lost while shooting.
“I never told Rob this,†Gray pipes up, “and thank God we’re months passed, but – close your ears, Robby.†Gray goes on to detail a scene wherein the explorers push farther into the rainforest by dragging a raft up the shallow waters of Colombia’s Don Diego River. “At one point,†Gray remembers, “I see this thing run up the side so I call over one of the guides and say, ‘There aren’t crocodiles in this river?’†The guide responded no, nothing like that, so Gray moved onto the next take. “I see it again,†Gray says, “and I’m like, ‘That’s a crododile!’ So I call the guy over again and he says, ‘No, no, no, that’s not a crodidile. It’s a black caiman.†Gray takes a moment to punch this new information into the production’s SAT phone and “it’s like a larger crocodile! It was the worst news I ever had.â€
