In this interview, Werner Herzog explains why he chose Rob as T E Lawrence in Queen of the Desert.  It’s good to actually have this insight. I love that Werner says “He also has intelligence, incredibly intelligent. Robert Pattinson writes very well, he’s very very educated a well read young man and that was exactly the right one.”
