David Cronenberg parle des Fans qui soutiennent Rob et Cosmopolis / David Cronenberg talks about Fans supporting Rob & Cosmopolis

“Eric n'est pas né riche. Je pense que vous voyez Eric devenir plus vulnérable et plus enfantin et plus naif et quand il est assis chez le barbier, il redevient un enfant, avant qu'il ait érigé ce personnage d'Eric, ce Maître de l'Univers. Donc vous devez le trouver de plus en plus chaleureux au fur et à mesure que vous vous rendez compte à quel point il est vulnérable et blessé."

“C'est pourquoi j'ai choisi Robert,” a ajouté Cronenberg. “C'est une performance. Sans compromis. Nous n'avons pas dévié de notre voie pour le rendre plus aimable qu'il ne l'est, mais on veut le regarder . Rob est très charismatique.“

'Cosmopolis' est le show de Pattinson, et ce n'est pas aussi éloigné que ça pourrait l'être des vampires étincelants de la saga “Twilight” mais Cronenberg fait les louanges de son acteur principal pour ses talents souvent sous estimés d'acteur.

“Rob est dans toutes les scènes du film” a dit le réalisateur “et j'avais besoin d'un mec qui pouvait faire ça. Son accent est en plein dans le mille – il ressemble beaucoup à l'accent de Don DeLillo. Il apporte un sens de l'humour narquois, et il apporte cette étrange émotivité que vous sentez sous-jacente car, comme je l'ai dit,  il n'est pas issu de ce monde depuis sa naissance, c'est un voyage de plusieurs façons."

“Vous devez voir l'évolution d' Eric et grâce à Rob, vous le voyez,” dit Cronenberg. “Je pense que c'est une performance spectaculaire, très nuancée et détaillée”

Comme tous ceux qui ont un pieu dans 'Cosmopolis', Cronenberg espère que la légion de fans de Pattinson , les “Twi-hard” iront en masse voir 'Cosmopolis'. Compte tenu de la production du film, il pense que ça peut se faire.

“Les Twi-hards ont suivi intensément le tournage du film" dit Cronenberg. “Il y avait 20 à 30 sites dédiés à 'Cosmopolis’, certains d'entre eux étaient vraiment spectaculaires, professionnels et super bien faits. Ils étaient gérés principalement par des Twi-hards, qui sont essentiellement des filles, et elles avaient lu le livre. Elles lisaient le livre et le commentaient sur ces sites, avant même que le tournage du film soit terminé”.

Le réalisateur est clairement impressionné

“C'était incroyablement satisfaisant” dit il. “Elles adoraient le livre et l'idée que Rob puisse le faire et elles soutenaient le choix de Rob.

“Moi aussi j'ai eu beaucoup de soutien” ajoute Cronenberg en riant “car les fans de Rob le suivent pour démontrer ce qu'il est capable de faire en tant qu'acteur et donc elles m'ont adoré pour lui avoir donné cette opportunité".

“C'était leur attitude, mais moi , mon attitude était que j'avais de la chance d'avoir Rob.”

Original Version:

At first glance, Packer appears to be a soulless character. He initially exhibits little to no outward emotion, not while receiving updates about his dwindling finances, not during sex, not ever. That sense of detachment is enhanced by the limo, which is smooth-running, soundproof and bulletproof, with tinted windows that minimize Packer's view of outside events and prevent prying eyes from looking in at him.

"You can see his soul as the movie progresses, as he approaches his childhood," Cronenberg said, "because, really, we begin to realize that the barbershop represents his childhood. It's his childhood barbershop. It's where he used to live. It's where he came from.

"Eric wasn't born into money. I think you see Eric become more vulnerable and more childlike and naive, and when he's in the barber chair he becomes like himself as a child, before he'd erected this Eric character, this Master of the Universe guy. So you should gradually warm up to him as you realize how vulnerable and how wounded he is.

"It's why I cast Robert," Cronenberg added. "It's a very uncompromising performance. We don't go out of our way to make him more likable than he is, but you want to watch him. He's very charismatic, Rob."

"Cosmopolis" is Pattinson's show, and it's as far removed as it could be from the commercial gloss and sparkly vampires of the "Twilight" films in which Pattinson has starred as Edward Cullen. The actor has been in the news of late, owing to the demise of his relationship with "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart, but Cronenberg lauds his leading man for his often-overlooked, still largely untapped talents as an actor.

"Rob is in every scene of this movie," the filmmaker said, "and I needed a guy who could support that. His accent is spot-on - it's very much like Don DeLillo's accent. He brings a wry sense of humor, and he brings that strange emotionality that you feel from underneath because, as I say, it's not there from the beginning, because it's a journey in more ways than one.

"You have to see Eric evolve and, thanks to Rob, you do," Cronenberg said. "I think it's a spectacular performance, very nuanced and detailed."

Like everyone with a stake in "Cosmopolis," Cronenberg hopes that Pattinson's legions of "Twi-hard" fans will turn out en masse for "Cosmopolis." Based on the production of the film, he said, that might happen.

"The Twi-hards followed this movie hugely," Cronenberg said. "There were 20 to 30 sites devoted to 'Cosmopolis,' some of them really quite spectacular, professional and slick, and they were being done mostly by Twi-hards, who are mostly girls, and they were reading the book. They were reading the book and commenting on it, on these sites, before the movie was finished."

The director is clearly impressed.

"That was incredibly satisfying," he said. "They were loving the book and the idea that Rob was doing it, and they're supporting Rob's choice.

"I got a lot of props myself," Cronenberg added with a laugh, "because the Rob fans are rooting for him to show what he can do as an actor and, therefore, they loved me for giving him the chance.

"That was their attitude, though my attitude was that I felt lucky to have Rob."
