David Cronenberg talks about Rob and Cosmopolis with 20 Minutes (France)

How would you describe Cosmopolis?
It's a dark and surreal comedy on the end of the world. I would like the audience not to take it too seriously.
Was choosing Robert Pattinson as your lead an obvious choice for you?
At first I chose Colin Farrell but I was happy to fall back on Rob when Colin stepped down. Pattinson was scared of no being good enough but he was perfect as living trader living outside reality.
Will his fans be surprised by the movie?
They're ready to go. I went online and discovered websites dedicated to Rob and I found a lot of teenagers who read and loved he book. They're ready to see Robert Pattinson in a role where plays a different kind of vampire.
How did you decide how far the sex scenes would go?
I didn't think in terms of censorship or self-censorship. Everything is decided naturally with the actors. Robert was ready to be lead. He's amazingly charismatic.
How did you managed to film this impression of 'dreaming while awake'?
By filming from the lead's point of view. You have to feel at ease when he's in the limo and completely lost when he gets out of it. He's a spoiled child who lives in a virtual world.
Is Cosmopolis visionary?
The movie describes a reality. On of the financiers of the movie told me he recognized himself in it. The idea that this horrific tale could be anchored in the real world fascinated me.

Gerald Nicosia talks Kristen, Jokes about Rob. Plus New Picture
From Gerald Nicosia's Facebook "Kristen and me at the afterparty. At the press conference before the screening, she said many kind things about me and my books, especially ONE AND ONLY, for which I am very grateful. She is not only beautiful, she is one of the brightest young people I have met in many years. And there’s a fire in her that I think will make her one of the top actors in her generation."
and he joked about Rob I have been to many ceremonies in my life, but nothing like the Palm D’Or competition at the Palais des Festivals at Cannes. The premiere of ON THE ROAD was the hottest ticket in town, and everyone was talking about it. In fact, it was the only movie that had a whole wall across from the Palais painted with a 50-foot-high poster of the film. Well over 2000 film producers, directors, technicians, actors, celebrities, and notable people showed up, the women in exquisite gowns, the men all in tuxedos with bow ties (I had to buy one in town!). Only Robert Pattinson dared to wear a straight black tie, but who was going to criticize Robert Pattinson?!"
Cosmopolis Costume Designer talks about Eric Packer's Gucci Suit and Chanel Watch
The Hollywood Reporter In the film, Pattinson wears just one costume: a black two button notch-lapel Signoria suit by Gucci. He also wears a Gucci fitted white cotton shirt, a slim black silk tie, a leather belt with silver buckle detail and black leather lace-up dress shoes.
The film's costume designer, Denise Cronenberg, had initially approached Prada, but they weren't interested. Gucci on the other hand, who has dressed Pattinson in real life, was gung ho. "It was great because we could never have afforded those suits," Denise tells THR exclusively. "Our budget was way too small."
She adds: “After I found out that Rob wore Gucci in real life, I looked at photos of him in their suits and that was the style I wanted for his character. Gucci is not something I have used before but I think it's smart to get a line that he has already worn.”
She asked them for six suits plus the hero, equaling seven suits for the film that takes place over 24 hours spent in a limo. “The suits are beautiful and the fabric is incredible," she raves.
The first fitted white shirts Gucci sent didn’t work. “They had a seam on both sides, something that was popular in the ‘70s. Rob didn’t like them, I didn’t, either. And I had a feeling he would end up in just a shirt by the end of the film. We didn't want to shred the suit because he needed to look together even though he’s falling apart on the inside. So they sent me other shirts, ones that he had worn before and liked."
Cronenberg reveals that Pattinson kept one of the Gucci suits after the film wrapped. “Plus the belt and the Chanel watch, he kept everything,” she said. “I didn’t think he would because he has like 4,000 suits. He’s decided he may start to wear a belt now.”
Chanel initially contacted Cronenberg about placing a watch on Pattinson's character. Rob, who doesn't wear a watch in real life, liked the timepiece so much that he wore it throughout the film, even though Denise had told him he could remove it in later scenes if he felt it was appropriate.

"Rob is in every scene in the movie and yet he's not necessarily a sympathetic character, you don't necessarily love this character. So, he's an actor who you want to watch"

Rupert Sanders talks about Kristen and SWATH with Den of Geek
Give us your take on Kristen’s character. Do you see her as a Christian hero?
There’s definitely a spiritual side, I’d say. It’s the Joseph Campbell The Hero With a Thousand Faces you know, she’s the archetypal mythical hero, so they are always given those characteristics. In hindsight, there’s a few things in there, in that she’s walking on water and these things are quite religious but I think ultimately she is a spiritual being, she is drawn by that and people are drawn to her because of that.

Rob and Kristen's Interview with Sky Cine News
"It's a strange movie. People will find it quiet important and contemporary. While we were filming it, it looked like a completely surreal movie. Every actor that came on set asked 'what is it about?' and nobody knows. And this is my biggest fear when the movie comes out, that nobody will get it."
