Love how these interviews keep slowly rolling in, can appreciate them fully that way 😀

Click on Rob & David to watch.

There’s also an article that goes along with the interview so thought I would include the part below where Richard Crouse talks about Rob’s performance.

…Pattinson met that challenge and did so without relying on his pretty face, according to Canada AM movie critic Richard Crouse.

“I thought Pattinson did a bang up job in this movie,” Crouse told CTVNews.ca.

“I don’t think any of us could say that ‘Cosmopolis’ would have been better or worse with Colin Farrell starring in it. But moviegoers know so much about Farrell’s life off screen,” said Crouse.

“They see him as this decadent figure. I think that would have influenced the way audiences perceived Packer’s character in this movie,” he said.

Pattinson’s subtle, complex performance is on par with David Bowie’s commanding turn in the 1976 film, “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” said Crouse.

Much like Bowie’s character, Thomas Jerome Newton, Pattinson creates an otherworldly figure who lives out his days in an equally rarefied and bizarre environment.

Pattinson’s complex and mature performance in “Cosmopolis” will surprise his fans and his critics.

“‘Cosmopolis’ is a fascinating film from a filmmaker working at the top of his game,” said Crouse.

“It may not be the easiest film to watch and it demands a lot from the audience. They really have to pay attention and that’s not what audiences are used to today. Even so, I don’t think ‘Twilight’ fans will be daunted by that,” he said.

“They’ll come out to see Pattinson. But they’ll be in for quite a surprise.”

81 days to go for us.  So wish it was closer.  I cannot wait to see Rob as Eric Packer.

    I don’t know why everyone thinks Rob’s fans will be surprised with his excellent work. I would say we are the most prepared. However I still love this interview. Bring it on.
