The Independent UK has ranked the 60 Best Actors of the 21st Century and Rob comes in on their list as no. 35
“Admittedly, it’s trite to begin a tribute to Robert Pattinson with Twilight, but it feels important to remember that early role when regarding a film like The Lighthouse. In the latter, an arthouse flick of the most artsy kind, Pattinson holds his own against heavyweight weirdo Willem Dafoe – showing off just how far he’s come since making tween girls swoon as a 104-year-old vampire. Sexy, this lighthouse keeper is definitely not. In fact, Pattinson appears to be constantly fleeing the mainstream comforts his conventional good looks might offer, running instead into the arms of directors like Claire Denis, Christopher Nolan, David Cronenberg, and the Safdie brothers, with the same intensity he instils in all his characters. More than anything, Pattinson takes risks – take his deliciously camp French accent in The King, his emo-boy take on The Batman, or Christopher Hitchens-inspired sidekick in Tenet.:
30 December 2022 – Variety 500
Rob makes the Variety500 for the first time in its 6 year history. It’s an index put together by Variety’s editorial board of the “500 most influential business leaders shaping the global media industry”. How do Variety’s editorial board choose who makes the list each year? The principles involved are:
“to honor excellence among executives and creatives across the world who have distinguished themselves most. Defining “excellence” and “distinguished” isn’t always an easy matter, but here at Variety, we’ve got it down as close to a science as you can get.
But Variety500 is not a science. Judgments are rendered according to subjective assessments that balance what someone has accomplished over the past 12 months with the achievements made prior to that period. Because Variety500 is an annual list, recent career performance is more heavily weighted than previous work.”

Naomi Ackie was interviewed by BritishGQ for her role in Blink Twice (Zoe Kravitz directorial debut) and Mickey17 came up. She was asked about Rob (and Rob was asked via email about Naomi):
“How do I describe Rob?” she wonders. “He’s a fucking good actor. There is something that happens with him on that screen that is, like, insane.”
“She was very easy going yet dedicated,” Pattinson told me, via email. “So fun and fearless as a performer, and incredibly intuitive and effortlessly adaptable.”

I love how noone can talk Mickey17 – we have less than a year to go until release.

Varietyshared this clip of Matt Reeves talking with Zoe Kravitz about writing his process of writing the script for The Batman and visualising Rob in the role. If you want to read the full by clicking the Variety hyperlink
Kravitz: How do you feel about casting? Especially when you’re doing a superhero film where there’s been so many other versions.
Reeves: I had to find a personal way into Batman and then think about how somebody could bring something personal to me. You’re always looking for an internal life that’s going to take what this story is and make us feel like you’re getting a glimpse into what this person’s struggle is. It’s weird: To be totally honest, when I was writing, I was thinking of Rob.
Kravitz: It just popped into your head?
Reeves: Well, I just started thinking about the children of Princess Diana, and the idea of being this orphaned prince. For some reason, I don’t know why, that made a connection to Kurt Cobain for me. And then somewhere in there, someone told me to watch [the 2017 Robert Pattinson movie] “Good Time.” And I was like, “That’s the only person I could imagine as this Batman. I don’t think that I know what it is if it’s not him.” It was weirdly fated, because it turned out that he was obsessed with Batman.
Robert Pattinson may have wanted to be an actor without being a celebrity. But then he turned his fame into its own kind of performance. “I can’t believe this is still going,” he said in an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine. https://t.co/vvTtIFf4Oepic.twitter.com/qapbbM7Kkn
