David Cronenberg talks about Robert and "Maps To The Stars"

David Cronenberg parla di Robert e "Maps To The Stars"
Il dramma di David Cronenberg incentrato su Hollywood "Maps To The Stars" segna il secondo film del regista veterano con la star di Twilight, Robert Pattinson, dopo Cosmopolis del 2013.

Sebbene molti vedano ancora Pattinson come il vampiro rubacuori Edward Cullen, Cronenberg ha detto a The Hollywood Reporter che lui riesce facilmente ad andare oltre.

"Non ho problemi ad ignorare questo", ha detto il regista del passato di Pattinson. "Naturalmente ho guardato il primo film di Twilight solo per vedere com'era lui e sentire qualcosa per la sua presenza sullo schermo e così via e così via . . . nel momento in cui sei sul set, siamo solo noi due a fare il film. Dimentichi i tuoi film".


Parlando con THR domenica notte al NYFF per lo screening di Maps, Cronenberg ha spiegato che voleva lavorare con Pattinson (che non era presente all'evento a New York) su questo film non solo perchè l'attore pensa che lui sia "un attore meraviglioso" e "si sono divertiti in Cosmopolis" ma anche perchè ha dato a Pattinson l'opportunità di partecipare ad una sorta di film d'insieme come Cronenberg voleva fare.

Quando Cronenberg stava mettendo insieme Maps, pensava alla stella di Cosmopolis.

David Cronenberg's Hollywood-centered family melodrama Maps to the Stars marks the veteran director's second straight film with Twilight alum Robert Pattinson after 2012's Cosmopolis.

Although many still see Pattinson as vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen, Cronenberg told The Hollywood Reporter he could easily look past that.

"I have no problem ignoring that," the director said of Pattinson's Twilight past. "Of course I watched the first Twilight movie just to see what he was like and get a feel for his screen presence and so on and so on…by the time you're on the set, it's just the two of you making movies. You forget your own movies too.'"

Speaking to THR ahead of Saturday night's New York Film Festival screening of Maps, Cronenberg explained that he wanted to work with Pattinson (who wasn't in attendance at the New York event) on this movie not only because the director thinks of him as "a wonderful actor" and they "had a good time on Cosmopolis" but also because it provided the opportunity for Pattinson to participate in the sort of ensemble film he'd told Cronenberg he wanted to do.

"He told me that he was scared about Cosmopolis because he had not really wanted to do a movie where he was the lead and had the whole movie on his shoulders," the director explained. "And of course in that movie he's in almost every scene. He said, 'One day I'd love to do an ensemble piece where there are a lot of good actors and [he's] just one of them.'"

When Cronenberg was putting together Maps, he thought of his Cosmopolis star.
