Robert Pattinson interview in Cinemania Spain

7/1 Update: Untagged version shared by photographer Lorenzio Agias on IG

Here’s the rough (Google translate) translation:

“Between ‘Tenet” and’ The Batman ‘I have aged 10 years“

Robert Pattinson – Before putting on the superhero costume, he accompanies John David Washington on his mission to save humanity

To what extent do Tenet’s themes speak to the world in which we live?
Tenet’s characters wake up one morning and discover that their qualities no longer serve the reality in which they live. And they have to adapt very fast to survive. It is very strange that this is exactly what we have lived in the last months.

Was the filming very physically demanding?
Yes. Going from the filming of Tenet, the most demanding thing I have done physically, to The Batman, I think it has made me age 10 years. Also because John David is a full-fledged athlete and, not only that, but he has a true athlete mentality. If you run he will sprint to his maximum capacity, again and again and again. In every take, in every rehearsal … And my career has basically been designed around the concept of sitting in armchairs and going on vacation [laughs]. We were supposed to show even skills but there were weeks of shooting where I couldn’t even walk.

Did Nolan give you any advice on how to play Batman in The Batman?
Not at all. He is very respectful. I think the only conversation we had about Batman was the last day of filming.

I loved Fear & Shame, your short. Would you like to direct?

Yes. I would love to. I think I am becoming more organized as I get older so I think I would be able. But I need a story.

Would you say that your work with prestigious directors like Claire Denis or the Safide Brothers has helped you along that path?
Yes, yes. What I know for sure is that it has helped me a lot as an actor. When you work with directors you admire, it is much easier to trust them. And when you have no doubts about the movie you are making you learn a lot more. I have been very fortunate to work with these talented directors

Thanks Aimee

Exclusive Sneak Peek at James Mottram “The Secrets of Tenet

Eric from Insight Edition has provided us with two more peeks into James Mottram’s “The Secrets of Tenet: Inside Christopher Nolan’s Quantum Cold War”. We now see that Chapter 5 “Road To Nowhere” gives us a little insight into filming in Estonia and the film’s “time-bending” element known as “inversion”. The storyboard also tells us some behind the scenes of the Opera House scene that we have seen in the trailers featuring John David Washington’s character “The Protagonist”.
