@sydfilmfest:

#InsidetheRover: Guy Pearce says he trusts David Michôd's vision, and will say yes to working with him again; he plans to say no to others.

#InsidetheRover: Michôd says Robert Pattinson naturally got the character of Rey just like he wanted it in the audition. #SydFilmFest

#InsidetheRover: Pattinson's audition was four hours long, Margaret asks him if it was torture, but he found it “satisfying.” #SydFilmFest

#InsidetheRover: Pattinson draws laughs when he says he was the last to see ANIMAL KINGDOM; Michôd said he was late to TWILIGHT. #VividIdeas

#InsidetheRover: Pearce says he based his character on the idea that he's an animal; he studied the way dogs behave. #VividIdeas

#InsidetheRover: Pattinson says you could hear a pin drop during the screening at Cannes; whereas the #SydFilmFest audience was more lively.

#InsidetheRover: Michôd says they had fun on the set; he began to think he was making a highly commercial film. #sydfilmfest #ividideas

#InsidetheRover: Michôd says #TheRover was the last 35mm film to be processed in Australia. #sydfilmfest #vividideas

#InsidetheRover: Michôd and Pattinson agree the Flinders Range location with its heat, isolation and flies was a big challenge. #sydfilmfest

Pattinson: the heat was “insane.” The local residents all seemed dangerous, like wanted men, but they were “lovely.” #InsidetheRover

David Michod "#RobertPattinson came closer to what I envisioned for the characters than anyone who auditioned' #insidetherover

"Everything Rob did was hilarious" - David Michod on #RobertPattinson #insidetherover #TheRoverSydney

"Our weird remoteness made the experience really tough but wonderful' David Michod #insidetherover #RobertPattinson #GuyPearce

Q: how did you build on chemistry? A: you really just build on the work. We knew each other well before filming #GuyPearce #RobertPattinson

Q: is it weird to put on an accent in films, Rob. A: it's kind of funny, you should try it #RobertPattinson

The world and landscape of the film really informed how #GuyPearce approached his performance and how to play his character.#insidetherover

"Ultimately the most challenging thing, always, is to just be convincing " - #GuyPearce #insidetherover #RobertPattinson

'Working with directors who understand what ur doing is such a relief...most inportant thing is honesty on set" #GuyPearce #RobertPattinson

@Mel452:

Bless Rob for outing a Maree resident who is wanted by the MI6. Brought huge laughs. #InsidetheRover #sydfilmfest

David said that R's audition at his house in LA was for 4hrs, after meetin him at Soho long b4 TR was ever going to happen. #InsidetheRover

Rob met David last out of all the @bluetonguefilms team eg Nash, Joel and Spencer. He 'really' wants to part of BTF #InsidetheRover *hehe*

@Drawde_C:

Someone asked how he would fare in a world like in The Rover. R said badly.

His favourite scene was the one before they go into the house towards the end. (Trying not to spoil)

R said everyone looked like murderers because it was so hot and dry where they filmed.

When asked what's harder, wordy films or films with little dialogue & more body language, R and GP both said it depends on the film itself.

About accents, R still finds doing English accents weird. It's as if he's still waiting for filming to start.

They kept getting large prickles stuck in their shoes during one of the scenes. GP said they were more like thorns. After each take they'd compare how many prickles they each got in their shoes.

When GP was talking about the power shift between dogs in a pack, he said, "anyone who has dogs will know this" R smiled and nodded.

Asked about his creative group of friends, he said he still has that in London but it's a little looser now. That kind of bond was what drew him to Blue Tongue films.

What he loved about the script was the enormous backstory with no context, so he had free reign over the part.

It was cute when he was talking about the difference in audience reaction between SydFilmFest and Cannes. He got confused about what day it was and had to ask DM, "It was last night, right?"

@Roaford: 

David said he first met Rob at Soho house and he had a can of coke and a coffee which he put 18 sugars into.

Rob's friend told him after he saw the movie "it's the first time he's played himeself" lol #InsidetheRover #sydfilmfest

@ksupporting:

He was talking how the audience in Cannes it was so quiet during the movie whereas people from last night were laughing at Rey's scenes
