Terry Mark Anderson shared this fab photo on his instagram the other day.
In this new interview with IndieWire, Rob talks about working with the Zellner brothers on “Damsel” and the status of his upcoming projects. He tells Eric Kohn that he didn’t quite know what he was getting himself into with the oddball western, but that’s sort of his thing these days.
An excerpt from the interview follows. To read the full interview, visit IndieWire.
When Robert Pattinson first received the script for the David and Nathan Zellners’ “Damsel,†a quirky, inverted western in which various cockeyed suitors pine for love of a woman disinterested in their advances, he passed. “It just seemed like one of those things that’s never going to get financing, so it just didn’t really register with me,†he said.
A few weeks later, he went to see “Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter†in theaters, not realizing it came from the same sibling director pair. He called his agent, eager to meet whoever was behind it.
“He was like, yeah, you just got offered a role for their new movie and you didn’t meet with them,†Pattinson recalled. He circled back on “Damsel,†which sees him entering strange terrain for an actor whose penchant for stone-faced roles has evolved from the “Twilight†franchise to auteur-driven work like David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis†and the Safdie brothers’ “Good Time.†As Samuel Alabaster, the foolishly overconfident pioneer eager to rescue Penelope (Mia Wasichowska) from her supposed captors even though she may not want the help, Pattinson found himself in the unlikely position of a comedic role.

Rob and Mia chat with Steven Weintraub of Collider about Damsel. Below is a brief intro from Steven and the topics that are covered in the interview. Click the photo above to view the video from the Collider site.
“Recently, I sat down with Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska to talk about the making of Damsel. During the interview they shared some memorable moments from filming, their reaction reading the script for the first time, what it was like filming the clog dancing sequence, what scene they were nervous to film prior to shooting, if they can leave the character they’re playing behind on set, and a lot more.”
Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska:
What was their reaction reading the Damsel script and how it plays with your expectations.
Was learning to clog dance for the film the most challenging thing they’ve learned for a movie?
What’s the most challenging thing they’ve learned for a movie and do they still have the skillset?
Any crazy memories of working with the horses?
Can they leave the character they’re playing on set or does some of it come home with them?
What’s the scene they were most nervous to do before filming began and what’s the scene they were most excited for?
How Damsel is a very unique movie and not something that is easily made.
