Robert Pattinson talks Christopher Nolan with Collider

Robert Pattinson and Claire Denis sat down with Haleigh Foutch from Collider recently to talk High Life and asked Rob about his new Christopher Nolan film:

Before I run out of time. Robert, you are working with Christopher Nolan soon and I know you can’t say anything about the movie itself, but as an actor who has chosen very different films from an action blockbuster for most of your career, how are you finding your prep is different from what you’ve been doing for the last decade? 

PATTINSON: I was literally just thinking that yesterday. I kinda went to see some of the stuff in prepping for it, and I was also so worried about doing a big movie. I mean, definitely at this stage, it always seems quite similar ’cause you just sort of see… it’s just drawings and photographs and stuff. But I was amazed with Chris just being pretty open to stuff already. There’s definitely things that seem like they’re just very tightly choreographed already but he’s pretty loose with a lot of stuff. 

That’s interesting, that’s not what you think of when you think of Nolan’s process. 

PATTINSON: It’s not what people told me, at all. I did hear him talking to some people before I started managing with him and you should see people’s brains, he’s explaining things and they’re just like, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” But I think it’s gonna be fun though.

Robert Pattinson talks “Monte” and working with Scarlett Lindsey with Den of Geek

Den of Geek recently interviewed Claire and Rob. Here is an extract of Rob talking about his character Monte:

What made the character of Monte work for you, Robert?

Pattinson: It’s a strange one because generally I always try and build a character out of the dialogue scenes and there were really only, outside of the voiceover — there wasn’t even that much voiceover until we finished the movie so I’m trying to string it together around four of the longer scenes. The looseness of it really appealed to me. I was in Cologne for quite a few months and kind of just trying to intuit something rather than trying to understand everything about the macro story. I think even Monte doesn’t know how to run the ship. He’s literally just sort of figuring it out. They’re prisoners, they don’t know anything.
But it was an interesting one with this, and really I didn’t know how to do it at all. I didn’t even know what voice or what accent I was going to do until I said the first line. So it’s always really fun doing that. I genuinely didn’t even know.

and working with Scarlett Lindsey:

Did you have time to bond with both versions of the daughter character, Willow? The younger and the older?

Pattinson: Well, I knew Scarlett who plays the baby. She is my best friend’s kid. My goddaughter. We had a different baby and it didn’t really work out, so Scarlett flew out the morning of the first day. I’d only met her for like an hour, maybe, when she was a baby, when she was like a few weeks old, but I just had this memory of her parents passing her around and she didn’t mind being held by everyone, and she was just kind of completely fine. So I was literally just trusting that a year later she’d hopefully still be the same. She’s such a kind of curious girl and was just so at ease with everyone. It was a massive gamble. I thought she was just so incredible in it.
