Robert Pattinson Brings "Cosmopolis" to Germany
Stepping out promote his latest film, Robert Pattinson was front and center at the German premiere of "Cosmopolis" at the Kino International movie theater in Berlin, Germany on Thursday (May 31).
The "Twilight" stud posed for pictures on the red carpet in a dark suit and thin black tie while taking a moment to greet fans lined up outside before joining alongside director David Cronenberg.
The European premiere event comes as Robert recently dished about his fear of playing billionaire Wall street CEO Eric Packer in 'Cosmopolis', saying, "The preparation, I kind of spent two weeks in my hotel room worrying and confusing myself. I remember the weekend before we started shooting, I called David to talk to him about it, to ask him 'one question' like, 'Want to talk about the movie for a bit?"
As to overcoming his fear of playing the character, the 26-year old admitted, "So then I went round to David's house and he said, 'It doesn't really matter. Let's just start, then something will happen.' I think Eric Packer's impossible to approach like you would a normal character."
As for the easiest things about the script, Pattinson said, "What I liked about the script initially was its lyricism and just the rhythms of it. I mean, normally when you do a movie, you can kind of blur the lines and you can make it your own. But with this, I didn't want to change a single word, not even the punctuation".
"That made it easier, it's like you're doing a song instead of a movie. It was interesting, it freed you up. If you're trying to do something in a cerebral way, it becomes about ego and it's silly at that point. Actors aren't supposed to be intelligent," he added.
