Robert Pattinson has revealed why he decided to take on the lead role in new film ‘Cosmopolis’. He says the script grabbed his attention because it was so well written and usually most scripts are, as he points out, “s**t”. Robert believes any actor no matter how talented could have been in the film because the script was so strong that nothing else was as important:
”[With ‘Cosmopolis’] there was such a specific voice from the very beginning. It’s just really well written. Most scripts are really s**t and you’re just thinking ‘how can I make it better?’ but this one, all you had to do was just say it. A really s****y actor could just sit there and say it and make it sound really good.”
Robert comments that he is grateful for making it so fast in the industry, and as a way to support directors he will try to make some indie films that otherwise might struggle to get made, as this is a great way to give back to those who also need support to continue making their art:
”When you get some kind of success quite quickly you have to pay for it somehow, pay your dues and stuff. I want to support the whole part of the industry that I like and got me interested in film. With the limited amount of power I have I would love to use it to get indies which never would be made or seen, hopefully seen. And also I just want seem cool!”
