New Rob Interview/Pic - Sunday Times

Yay!!! So nice to get an interview with Brady and Rob together. I love both of their comments about the state of movies today (I so agree). Sweet to hear that Rob was proud about having two movies at Cannes.

They seem to have a great rapport together. I'm glad Rob signed on to do the film. I loved it.

Thanks so much! Great interview! Miss this stuff.

Same. I'm glad we got an interview for this. I didn't think we would.

Yeah, I really didn't expect anything new to come from this release. It's a pretty great interview and Rob's rapport with Brady seems really strong. Nice pairing.

Thanks Priory for the link. Good interview. Rob and Brady seem to get on well, but then Rob seems to get on well with most of his directors, and certainly with all his indie directors.

Rob: 15 times on French news programmes. His face is a Greco-Roman marvel.

Thought I would put this here. It's another interview with Brady for promo for the UK release of CoaL. He discusses Rob and his choices a bit:

Excerpt:

With Berenice Bejo and Liam Cunningham taking on starring roles, not to mention the breakthrough role for the young Tom Sweet – much attention will be placed on the supporting performance of Robert Pattinson, who continues to indulge in innovative, independent features that veer far away from the projected career many had expected after the Twilight Saga. Having spoken to Olivier Assayas following his collaboration with Kristen Stewart in Clouds of Sils Maria, the French auteur admitted the actresses’ ardent following was a strain on the production at times, with fans swarming around the set – but Corbet said he didn’t have any issues on that front.

“I think that’s changed a lot, and probably just three of four years ago that was a bigger problem for Robert,” he said. “Rob is working with most of the best directors in the world right now, and I think the more you do that, the less of the wrong kind of attention you’ll have. Everyone just grows up and hopefully lets it all go. I was in a funny position because I was in a kids movie called Thunderbirds when I was 13 years old, and if it had not been a box office failure then I’d have been associated with it, but I wasn’t so much because nobody really saw it, especially in the US. But I understand how it feels to have a very particular kind of interest but at a very young age become involved in something that is not necessarily representative of who you are, or what you want to make.”

“There are a lot of routes into how people arrive into doing what they feel they’re meant to do, but it’s very hard because these movies can be a little bit like baby photos, it’s quite embarrassing to live out your entire youth in a very public way, or at least it was for me.” --

And another one ---

Brady speaking to The Guardian:

The UK distributor seems to be doing a much better job getting the film out there and discussed. Well done. A short excerpt from the article:

He lambasts the left-wing media as well as the right for all the Trump image-building, and his views on cinema are just as principled – Corbet is all but dismissive of mainstream entertainment. If it’s not art, he’s not interested. “In America, I find it disappointing that a lot of our biggest talents are not devoting their talents to slightly more radical material,” he says. “I’m yearning for people to push the medium forward.” The Childhood Of A Leader isn’t one for the multiplexes, but it’s a beautifully studied, arresting couple of hours that feels at times like 1970s Kubrick. Corbet certainly puts his money where his mouth is. Just watch out for that volume.

Thanks for the interviews. It's nice to read Rob's thoughts again! It's also great that he and Brady have such a good rapport.
