“How circus changes life”- Interview to Robert
Pattinson by Lorenzo Soria for La Stampa.it
It is said that the train passes once, a metaphor to suggest that we
must take the fly when there are opportunities offered by life and
these could not recur again.
Jacob Jankowski gets on a train from a traveling circus and so he
begins an adventure that will change his life. There he will know
Marlena, the star of the circus, radiant in her beauty when she
performs with the white horses, and Rosie, an impressive as sweet and
friendly elephant.
In a nutshell, this is the plot of Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen’s
bestseller, now a movie directed by Francis Lawrence. For the
millions of fans of the Twilight series, this is also the film
starring Robert Pattinson, who finished filming the last two films in
the serie, and he intends to leave the golden cage of vampire
dangerous as it is fascinating to find its new identity as an actor .
In Water for Elephants he is just Jacob, the quasi-vet who embarks
himself on an adventure that will mark his life. Marlena is Reese
Witherspoon, while Christopher Waltz is August, the owner of the
circus, a bit ‘as its Colonel Landa’s Inglourious Basterds, able to
be softly seductive but also capable of an infinite cruelty.
Rob Pattinson now has a pair of army pants, shoes untied, shirt with
short sleeves , as always, seems just thrown out of bed.
Pattinson, how was to be on a set with elephants, lions and giraffes?
“It’s a bit ‘like I’ve met a lot of new interesting people, beginning
with Tai, our elephant, which is a unique case of intelligence and
sensitivity. Treat animals as people stretch, with respect. “
What does it mean to you circus? You went there as a child?
“I went there once when I was seven. My sister told me and scared me
a clown had died and only when I was 19 years she told me that it was
not true. I did not come back to circus anymore, but I find the idea
of the circus very charming, it is an environment that transports
you to another world. “
At the end of the year will hit the theaters “Twilight” movie number
four.” Someone says that under the direction of Bill Condon his
vampire will become more dangerous.
“There will be more anger. But so goes the book and Condon was not
afraid to take that path.
What do you do to recharge?
“I work hard since four years now and I start to think that my
batteries are being a bit ‘low. I am very happy with my life, but I
would have more control over my work. I would like more time to write
and more time at all, do not have this feeling of being on the run. “
Are you thinking of writing a screenplay?
“Considering the scripts I read and movies I’ve ever seen, I often
wonder about what is the criterion that make some scripts to be
produced into movies. Sometimes I write down ideas when I have free
time, I hope to write something. “
In the meantime, you can not move freely without the onslaught of fans.
“It happens more in America than when I go back to London, wherefans
are more respectful. Generally are Americans and Italians fans that
asked me to stop when I walk.
I can not walk through Times Square, but my life has not changed much,
if not for the fact that I work a lot. And yes, I try to preserve my
privacy, but I’m not so shy and reserved as many think about me “
