Guy Pearce About Rob on The Rover: "OK, He Is Just Going To Be Fantastic"

Happy Tuesday to us! courtesy of Rob's The Rover costar Guy Pearce. He did a round of interviews in Australia, where he had plenty to share on working with Rob on the film.

''The best thing about Rob is that he is a really great actor,'' says Pearce.

''Watching the rushes back, you go: 'OK, he is just going to be fantastic'.''

''He plays (the character) slightly backward, emotionally useless and really vulnerable,'' says Pearce.

''He's got this beautiful face so you are completely entranced by that face no matter how ugly he makes himself or how wounded he is, or how manky his haircut.''

OUCH.. but we're kind of loving it! - Pearce also shared more on the film while he promoted Iron Man 3 on TV. (at 3:25).

Interview with Guy Pearce from The Sunday Morning Herald
Guy Pearce has given a glimpse of what to expect from The Rover, the futuristic film he finished shooting with Robert Pattinson in outback South Australia last month.

Director David Michod's keenly-anticipated follow-up to Animal Kingdom is "an unusual story" set in a world gone wrong in the near future.

"It's a military state now, it's every man for himself a little bit, it's a very bleak kind of world," says Pearce, who's about to reach cinemas as the villain in Iron Man 3.

In The Rover, the Australian star plays the title role, a damaged man named Eric with nothing left to live for. Trying to track down a dangerous gang, he meets a young stranger, Rey (Pattinson), and they forge an uneasy alliance.

"[He's] somebody he has no interest in," Pearce says. "He's purely using him to get where he needs to go. So through this bleak ... world, there's a little connection that's kind of made, which on some level you might think would be a positive thing for this character.

"But on some level it actually makes things worse for him - to really believe that there's some sense of love in the world or any sense of humanity or compassion. So it's a pretty bleak story."

As filming finished in the small town of Marree, almost 700 kilometres north of Adelaide, Pattinson said he wanted to be part of The Rover because "it was a startlingly original script, and it was one of those parts where you read it and you think, 'I'd love to do this, but I know I'm never going to get it'."

To play Rey, the Twilight star was dressed as unkempt and unshaven, with make-up to discolour his teeth.

Pattinson says his character, an American who has come to Australia with his brother (played by Scoot McNairy), is "the kind of person who has been brought up to believe they're incapable of living independently. Someone has always been looking after him."

The two central characters, Eric and Rey, have a shifting relationship that Pattinson described as "strange and disturbing."
It's a film, expected to be out later this year, that seems to have echoes of the classic post-apocalyptic Australian film Mad Max.

''Not as camp though,'' says Pearce, was also in Animal Kingdom. ''Mad Max is great, don't get me wrong. But it's heightened in a way, whereas this is pretty earnest.''

Stephenie Meyer Talks Twilight, Rob's Fame & More!

Stephenie Meyer has been busy promoting The Host, and inevitably the talk always goes back to Twilight. She shares plenty in her new interview with The Times, including whether she feels guilty about the loss of privacy for the actors:

Here’s the thing: there are some actors who are looking to be world famous, to be that household name, and although they might discover that there are a lot of negative things involved in that, it’s what they want. But that doesn’t apply to Kristen and Rob. That’s what makes it kind of ironic and tragic.”

Read the rest. (We promise, it's a good one). And if you missed it, Meyer also raised a lot of eyebrows thanks to her chat with The Guardian. Check it out.

Stephenie also spoke with Hypable, and Twilight Lexicon shared their videos, where the author talks about having no say on casting Twilight, and preparing the cast of The Host for the built-in fandom they're getting.

Naomi Watts Says It's "Wait & See" On Queen Of The Desert

UPDATE: Jude Law has confirmed our fears about a delay in this project.

Collider:

No, Queen of the Dessert, I don’t think is going to happen now, or I don’t think that I can be involved in it anymore. I’m not sure what happened there, whether they can get it together I don’t know. 

The Playlist:

As for projects that may or may not be happening, Law confirmed Naomi Watts' statement that Werner Herzog's Gertrude Bell biopic "Queen of the Desert" is now on hold and he will likely be no longer be available for it when it returns. "I don’t think that’s happening. I don’t think I can do that anymore," he admitted.

Like we said below, at least Rob has plenty stacked up for this year.

Naomi Watts just burst our happy bubble.

While talking to Josh Horowitz at Sundance she gave an update on Queen of the Desert, and it looks like it could be a while..

She later gave more details to E:

"It's still a way's off" - "I don't know yet. Hopefully, it will happen. I just can't travel again right now because I did a lot of traveling last year. It's been a big year and it's time for me to be home with the kids."

It sounds to us like this is one project that's probably not happening this year. Good thing Rob has Map to the Stars, Mission Blacklist, and Hold on to Me lined up!

Guy Pearce About Rob On The Rover: "He’s Really Right For The Role”

Hollywood Life caught up with Rob's The Rover costar Guy Pearce, while he was at Sundance promoting his latest film "Breathe In." He had plenty to say about Rob!

“He just seems like a bright and sensitive kid,” Guy tells us. “So I just think he’s really right for the role.”

We told Guy, who has starred in movies like The Kings Speech, Memento, Lawlessand the upcoming Iron Man 3, that we bet Rob thinks it’s pretty cool to work with such an experienced actor.

“Um I don’t know, hopefully he thinks so!” Guy says. “I think it’s about collaborating and all getting on the same page. It doesn’t matter how experienced or inexperienced someone is, you hopefully just all understand each other and realize you are all on the same film together.

We can't wait to see them together on the big screen. Last week Pearce told Variety he was getting ready to head to Australia to begin filming The Rover. Rob has already arrived, and has been spotted out and about.

Look for updates as we get them!

Rob's Costar On 'The Rover' (Kinda) Talks About The Film

Movieline got a chance to catch up with Scott McNairy, who will be working with Rob on The Rover. He didn't give up too much information, but what he did say has us intrigued!

So what's next for you?

I've got about two or three scenes in Promised Land that just came out. And then a movie called Twelve Years A Slave that Steve McQueen directed. Brad's in it, and Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor. I'm working on this film right now with Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore called Non-Stop. Then I'm off to do this movie called Frank with Domhnall Gleeson and Michael Fassbender. And after that, I work with David Michod, who did Animal Kingdom and is really close friends with Andrew Dominik. It's with Guy Pearce and Rob Pattinson. It's called The Rover.

Is it going to be as intense as Animal Kingdom?

You know, I don't know the direction in which David's taking it, but it's a futuristic western that takes place in the Australian Outback.

Can you talk about the character you play?

I play Rob's brother. If I say anything else about it, it gives it all away.

Now we really want to find out more about this film. Stay tuned for updates as production gets going next month in Australia.
