*NEW* Robert Pattinson Interview w/Cicero: "DeLillo's words are like the Bible"
With his new film "Cosmopolis", Robert Pattinson ventured into the abyss before the financial world. Cicero Online spoke with the ex-vampire on the apathy of his generation, split personalities and pie attack ===
Mr. Pattinson as Eric Packer is leaving once his aura, his limo, and now he is attacked with a cake. Was there a similar moment in your career?
Oddly, I have a similar scene in "Water for Elephants" shot. But otherwise, no, not that I know of. Maybe in a metaphorical sense ... ====
No aggressive paparazzi and overzealous fans?
No, that has been trusted no one. Thank God that would have otherwise had a bad injury.===
How would you describe your character in the movie?
Eric Packer is a man who looks at the whole world very abstract, himself, his body, his fellow men. He wears egomaniacal trains and lives in its deepest interior withdrawn, in a world where there is not the actual reality. Throughout the film, he finally tries to regain control of his body, about himself, until he gives up completely at the end.===
What will remain of Eric Packer?
It's weird. I had to remember me as much text and I thought these lines would disappear from my head as soon as each scene is filmed. But the words are still there, I can still memorize the entire script. It sounds stupid now, but there are times a day, which I quote passages DeLillo, error-free. David (Cronenberg) always says: "It's like the Bible! There is a quote for every occasion! "Somehow DeLillo's words are still with me arrested. Its importance is more and more aware. Especially in the scene with Samantha Morton, as we talk about the future, there are passages that haunt me literally.====
Is this due to very strong DeLillo's lyrical, poetic word formations?
Yes. I was unsure at first to accept the movie offer because I thought it would be extremely boring. Because basically, it goes into "Cosmopolis" to people who are talking in a car - only. One can easily miss the boat in the movie. Either you follow DeLillo's words all the time, or you lose yourself in it, without knowing exactly what happens - then you are left with only a couple of nice pictures. David (Cronenberg) had so many strange ideas, things that at first I do not really understand. But if you in this adventure, you'll see the big picture! I've seen the film three times now. It was only the second time I could get involved and really it was just completely overwhelmed. ===
