Oliver has updated his video diary with a footage from LA’s HOW TO BE premiere. Oliver talks about how Rob was ‘downplaying’ his abilities and how he’s a good musician and guitarist. To hear more of what he has to say, please watch the video.

Here is a new little teaser from How To Be thanks to our affiliate ROBsessed & YouTube member sonnyt100. This scene would have to be one of my favourites in the film. How cute is Art when he says “Shut Up in Your Face”

Don’t forget you can pre-order your copy of How To Be from Amazon.co.uk here. I cannot wait to receive my copy.

Oliver Irving, the director of HOW TO Be, talked to Radar Online about working with Rob on the movie. Here’s a snippet on what he said:

Irving was a big fan of Rob’s from the minute he walked into the audition. “We were looking for someone who would be able to take responsibility for playing this big part in a way. Rob just got it a lot more. He was actually very un-pretentious,” Irving remembered. “He would laugh at himself and I remember when Rob came in he asked questions about the script and I realized that he actually read the script and got it. We’d start playing with the scene and I’d call him in to work with other actors and we just knew straight away that it would work.”

The article also mentions what it’s like for Alisa Arnah (the actress who played his love interest, Jessica) to work with him. Apparently, she didn’t like him very much!?! To read the whole article please click here.

Pattinson_Music LJ recently got the opportunity to interview ’How To Be’ director/writer Oliver Irving & the film’s composer Joe Hastings  & now share their exclusive interview. They asked Oliver & Joe a range of questions about the film & the music in the film.  Here is a  snippet from the interview where they mention Rob:

7. What did Rob bring to the role of Art, musically speaking? Did he have any input on the composition of the songs and what guitars did Rob play during the film?

Oliver Irving: There is a great ‘jam session’ sequence where Ronny is playing his electronic stuff and Art is strumming away soulfully on the guitar while Nikki is singing away about random things. It was very funny to shoot and painful to watch!

Joe Hastings: Rob brought a kind of ownership to the music. Before the part was cast I was unsure as to whether someone could make the tracks seem real. I think Rob genuinely enjoyed playing the songs.

Rob played a battered old nylon string acoustic which Oliver ‘acquired’ from a school, we found a piece of rope in the studios we used as a set and decided that it would make the perfect guitar strap for Art. For the final sequence we deliberately chose a flashy if slightly tacky Guitar made by ‘Ovation’. It was one of those bowl backed fiber glass types that I hate, they’re the nouveau riche’s guitar of choice.

I really enjoyed reading this interview with Oliver & Joe.  ‘How To Be’ is such a wonderful film & I cannot wait to be able to see it again.

On top of all the excitement of ‘Little Ashes’ being available for pre-order, I have just discovered that Amazon.co.uk also has ‘How To Be’ available for pre-order with a release date of May 4. I am so excited I could literally jump up & down. I was just saying in my earlier post today how much I was looking forward to seeing the movie again & now I have got my wish!

Very exciting news! A brand new trailer for the film was world-premiered in the US Friday night on Access Hollywood & is now available for us all to watch on Yahoo Movies!

In the new trailer, we get to see some new footage from the film that wasn’t featured in the previously released trailer. There are so many of my favourite moments from the film featured in the trailer including some of Art’s singing & my very favourite, the scene where Art gives himself a pep talk in the mirror.

 I really look forward to the day when I will be able to watch this film again. It really is such a wonderful film with a fantastic performance by Rob & the entire cast.
