Well, you just starred in a Christopher Nolan film; Nolan has already made three iconic Batman films. Also, I think of you as being a pretty specific actor, and Batman is as much of an archetype as it is a character to be played.
I kind of like the fact that not only are there very, very, very well-done versions of the character which seem pretty definitive, but I was thinking that there are multiple definitive playings of the character.
Yeah, Like, where is the gap? And also, do I have anything inside me which would work if I could do it? I like that. You can almost feel that pushback of anticipation, and so it kind of energizes you a little bit. Pattinson calls back. My phone died on me. What were you saying?
You were talking about fear. What do I have to fix for you now? A few days later, Pattinson decides to cook for me. Or cook in front of me, anyway. FaceTiming, we agreed, was hard, exhausting. We were a little sick of looking at each other. Pattinson thought: cooking. He had notions of Top Chef, of us photographing our respective refrigerators and then battling it out. Neither of us has really seen Top Chef. And he will always answer: hahahaha. Last year, he says, he had a business idea.
I was trying to figure out how to capitalize in this area of the market, and I was trying to think: How do you make a pasta which you can hold in your hand? He says he went so far as to design a prototype that involved the use of a panini press, and then, he says, he went even further, setting up a meeting with Los Angeles restaurant royalty Lele Massimini, the cofounder of Sugarfish and the Santa Monica pasta restaurant Uovo.
Let alone acknowledge what my plan was. There was absolutely no sign of anything from him, literally. And so it kind of put me off a little bit. Nevertheless, Pattinson says, he conceived of a brand name for his product, a soft little moniker that kind of summed up what he thought his pasta creation looked like: Piccolini Cuscino. Little Pillow. One 1 giant, filthy, dust-covered box of cornflakes.
One 1 incredibly large novelty lighter. He puts on latex gloves. He pulls out some sugar and some aluminum foil and makes a bed, a kind of hollowed-out sphere, with the foil. He holds up a box of penne pasta that he had in the house. I watch as he pours dry penne into a cereal bowl, covers it with water, and places it in the microwave for eight minutes. He says using penne is already new territory for him.
It looks like a sort of messy…like, the hair bun on a girl. Nevertheless, penne and water in the microwave for eight minutes. In the meantime, he takes the foil and he begins dumping sugar on top of it. Then he adds sauce, which is red. The microwave dings, and Pattinson promptly burns himself on the bowl of pasta.
He sighs, heavily, looking at it. At this point, his spirits have visibly begun to flag. Absolutely none. The little pillow now mostly built, he pours more sugar on top of it and then produces the top half of a bun, which he hollows out, places it on top of the rest of whatever the hell this thing is, and…begins burning the top of the bun with the giant novelty lighter.
At this point, he accidentally ignites one of his latex gloves, which promptly melts onto his palm. He yells in pain. Then he gingerly holds up the finished product: some approximation of a P, followed by a C, for Piccolini Cuscino, burned into the top of a hamburger bun. He starts wrapping the whole thing up with more aluminum foil, and then compacts it, and then wraps it some more, and then squeezes it again. I say yes, you can, but what you absolutely cannot do is put foil in a microwave.
He assures me it is not. He puts the aluminum sphere, the little pillow, into what he thinks is an oven and I think is a microwave. He attempts to turn it on. He fumbles at some more buttons. In the silence, Pattinson and I both stare at the mysterious piece of machinery built into the wall behind him. Pattinson: Who else have you talked to? Willem Dafoe can act, Pattinson thinks. Willem Dafoe can act the socks off anyone in the business. And Joaquin Phoenix.
Joaquin Phoenix could tie his shoelaces on film and be nominated for an award. And Bruce Willis — Bruce Willis! But Robert Pattinson? Despite more than a decade in the industry.
Pattinson, who is 33, is sitting in a booth in a low-lit restaurant in Notting Hill, west London, dunking table bread into a pot of something. He has arrived from rehearsals for The Batman , which started not long ago and which are taking place, to his delight, in the studio in which he filmed Harry Potter in the mid-aughts.
That was in Which are the kind of thoughts Robert Pattinson has. Pattinson laughs a lot and goes for it: closes his eyes, throws back his head, reveals the square jaw and the fine stubble and the underside of the slightly skew-whiff nose, and lets out a loud, unfiltered giggle.
Other actors suffer from bouts of false modesty. But Pattinson is wholeheartedly committed to the concept of his ordinariness. This kind of thing thrills Pattinson, because at least he got a reaction. He appears alongside Willem Dafoe, the actual actor, which was nerve-wracking, of course.
And so, while filming, Pattinson thought he probably should, too. To be completely overwhelmed and disorientated. It did! Maybe a shot at a Bafta. The general consensus is Pattinson turned to independent films to escape the interminable celebrity glare. Fans hoped he might bask in the limelight, take on a few major roles, emerge as the leading man he was destined to become.
So we made up that Robert Pattinson had actively chosen the quiet life. Experimenting with a surprisingly accurate French accent, he portrays the power-hungry, vengeful prince with slimy precision.
With that in mind, this movie is dark, bleak, and pretty unexceptional. The absolute highlight of this film is the performances of the leading characters, including and especially Robert Pattinson. Preston Teagarden maniacally exclaims to his loyal followers again and again. For this film, he employs an entirely new southern twang with a tinny and almost whiny tone. Though the effect may be discreet, the choices he made for the accent make the character that much stronger and despicable.
Paired with this, he does an astounding job making the character simultaneously disgusting through finger-licking, curls of the lip, and subtle body language that communicates utmost discomfort to the audience. A truly impressive and grotesque character. While it can be hard to follow what exactly is happening in High Life , the sci-fi concept being executed is undeniably original and visceral throughout this unsettling film.
Pattinson is Monte, a member of a death row space crew that has been assigned to investigate a black hole at the edge of the solar system. Unaware of their true mission, the crew is subject to human fertility experimentation by a witchy and eerie doctor named Dibs Juliette Binoche who drugs them to safely conduct her trials. The range of human emotion that comes out of Pattinson in this film is precise and masterful, as he transforms into slightly different characters as the film progresses.
Watch on Amazon Prime. Two men both named Thomas Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are working as lighthouse attendants on a dislocated New England island, both struggling to maintain sanity and their grasp on reality itself.
Though this film is classified as horror, that is really only because of the tension created by masterful cinematography, a haunting soundtrack, and the stirring performances by the lead actors — who are virtually the only actors in the film. This is exactly the script Pattinson was looking for and with his take on a Downeast Maine accent, he absolutely blew it out of the water with the collaborative help from his co-star. A wildly original, exciting, and heartfelt film from the Safdie Brothers, Good Time is a slow but sure rise in tension and anxiety that keeps the viewer enthralled.
Pattinson plays Connie Nikas, a selfish con man who dedicates one perilous New York night to the rescue of his brother, who has been arrested. Pattinson is at his absolute best as the pathological liar Connie Nikas, bulldozing anyone and anything in his way and creating a trail of absolute destruction.
