A ‘Rob Pattinson’ Production Company?Comments Off

The Philadelpia Daily News sat down with Rob during his press tour and just published this fantastic interview with him. The reporter, Emma Greenberg, satiates our appetite by discovering new information about Rob: he’s written several scripts, wants to start his own production company by the age of 26, and has fond memories of playing music on rooftops in London.
“It was so cool,” he said nostalgically. “You had to walk through a restaurant kitchen to get up to the roofs but you could like walk along all the roofs . . . I didn’t do anything for a year, I just sat on the roof and played music . . . it was like the best time I had ever had.
“So many young people who get a big hit kind of get hyped up,” he said. “They start to believe their own hype and then everyone starts to, like, cut them down immediately. And I just feel like I’m being propelled by something I have absolutely no control over.
“I guess I’m just a control freak,” he said. “I don’t like the way the film industry is . . . If you come with a good script and then it goes to the studios and gets financing, it all gets changed because they want to make money. And it’s like, how do you know if it’s going to make money or not? All you’re doing is making it generic when you do that, and making it generic is no guarantee that it’s going to make money either.
“The only way to abandon that is to take risks,” he added passionately. “And you need to be able to trust people. So you get a company together with people you know are good and you know work hard and you can make good stuff. That’s kind of what I want to do.”
“I’m good at disappearing,” he said. “I don’t have too much of a problem with it. There’s hardly anyone I want to speak to . . . I spend most of the time just avoiding phone calls, just avoiding everything.”
