You’ve put Kristen Stewart in sneakers on the red carpet. Was this her idea or yours? And how did you feel about the look as a whole?
Originally, the appearance of Kristen’s sneakers on carpets came from a place of necessity. She was constantly getting hurt on set, as she loves to do her own stunts, but she truly is an everyday T-shirt-and-jeans girl like myself. So we embraced it and it became part of her look.
• Peter Sattler talking about using Muslim Public Affairs to make sure the film showed BOTH sides of the story.@KstewsSmirk:
• Audience reaction to #CampXRay was sooooo much better than the screenings I went to at Sundance! Lots of laughter (at the right times)! :D
• Gina Kwon talking about how she got started on #CampXray ... She read the script and LOVED it!
• It was really helpful that the set was in LA, especially for Kristen (being the A-lister she is) and a low-budget
• Gina suggested for the cast to have a night of go-carting to get acquainted with each other.
• The party/boat scene was total improv
• SPOILER ALERT: The failed hookup scene btw Kristen & Lane was challenging in terms of keeping the balance.
• Apparently there are a lot of deleted scenes of Kristen and Lane.
• Kristen was PERFECT for Cole's internal struggles. "It HAS to be Kristen! She's perfect!"
• Apparently THE TWILIGHT SAGA is super popular at Guantanamo Bay .. They had copies laying around the office as a joke!
• There was an early draft of a scene with Lane where he talks to Cole about seeing Breaking Dawn
• Real life soldiers stopped Peter after seeing the film at Sundance & they were moved by how accurate this portrayal was.
• Peter wanted to end with hope.
• 'The world's biggest star just signed on' - Peter Sattler .. Awwwwwwwww he's a fanboy!
• Best thing you can do to get a film made? Have a star in it!
• There's a weird Hollywood circle when it comes to funding.
• Kristen starves for really great roles.
• October #CampXray will be released!!!!
• For those of you wondering, the #CampXRay that was shown this evening was the same cut I saw three times at Sundance :)
• Camp X Ray was pretty great.@abeitotzz:
• SPOILER ALERT: The Harry potter scene was hilarious.
• Peter Sattler mentioned how Kristen would worry about minor things like how to hold her hat so they'd call their army consultant for her
• He originally wrote a scene where one of the characters mentioned a Twilight film and then decided to remove it.
• Kristen told him she decided to join the cast because she felt she understood the character and liked that it had a message.
• Also his dream cast was having Kristen after seeing her in The Runaways.
• They're looking into an October release date.
• You can literally see every tiny bit of freckle on Kristen's face on this movie.. So pretty :)
• Peter knows Kristen from the Undertow. He was the set dresser
After winning over critics with the complex, dark family drama "Animal Kingdom" for his directorial debut, director David Michod wanted to pare things back to tell a simpler story about survival in his next film.
"The Rover," out in U.S. theaters on Friday, follows a lone character, Eric, who has his car stolen and embarks on a journey to recover it, handling threats and obstacles along the way.
Australian director Michod created a stark, stripped down, decaying setting in the outback of his native country and said he was inspired by his "despair" at the world today.
"I felt like I was literally making a movie that was set in a strange, dangerous and inhospitable version of the present day," the director said.
And yet, Michod said he still wanted to feature some hope for Eric, played by Guy Pearce, who finds it in an unlikely friendship with Rey, played by Robert Pattinson. Rey, an American petty criminal left for dead, is rescued by Eric and forms a bond with the introverted man, who takes him on a journey to recover his car and reunite Rey with his brother.
Pattinson delivers a performance in "The Rover" that takes him a world away from the brooding teenage vampire that rocketed him to fame in the "Twilight" film franchise.
The British actor transformed himself to play the dim-witted young Rey by adopting a jolted southern accent accompanied by twitches, tics and blank stares.
"It was quite interesting playing someone who has basically zero faith in himself," the actor said. "As soon as he starts opening his mouth, he'll either start almost questioning his own sentence as it's coming out of his mouth, and then trying to hide away from it."
The talkative Rey poses a sharp contrast to Eric, whom Pearce described as "a wounded animal," a product of surviving the harsh landscape of a decaying world, who spends much of the film in silence.
"I really enjoy working without necessarily relying on words and talking," the actor said. "The story you're to be telling is totally possible without actually having to say anything and then when you do speak, it really is more effective."
Michod said the biggest challenges he faced on "The Rover," made for about $12 million and distributed by A24 films, were related to the isolated, hot outback they filmed in, and in particular, a car chase sequence that he called "draining."
Despite the dark nature of the film that Michod compares to a dark fable, he hoped the end result is more optimistic for audiences.
"This movie is about how even in incredibly violent and challenging circumstances, people still have a basic need to try and find intimate connection with other human beings, so I like to think about this movie as a movie about love," he said.
