CONVERSATIONS.
ROBERT AND I GOT TOGETHER HERE
IN NEW YORK FOR A SUNDAY
SIT-DOWN.
>> SEVERANCE WITHOUT PAY?
YOU ARE TRYING TO RUIN ME?
>> I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF HOW
WOULD I DESCRIBE THIS FILM TO
SOMEONE.
I COULD NOT COME UP WITH A GREAT
ANSWER.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
>> I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO TELL
ME.
>> THANK GOD.
THIS IS ALL YOU, MAN.
>> THIS IS ALL YOU.
>> IT IS ABOUT TWO GUYS,
SEESHSE
SEESE
SEESHLLY TWO GUYS AT THE
LIGHTHOUSE AND THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> ROBERT PATTINSON'S NEW FILM
"THE LIGHTHOUSE" IS BETTER SEEN
THAN DESCRIBE.
>> YOU AIN'T THE PRESIDENT OR MY
FATHER.
I AM SICK OF YOU ACTING LIKE YOU
IS.
>> SHOT IN BLACK AND WHITE AND
IN A FRAME THAT IGNORES TODAY'S
WIDE SCREEN MOVIE TECHNOLOGY.
THE FILM HAS A VINTAGE LOOK.
>> WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT
PRESENTATION?
>> IT IS SO SHOCKING TO PEOPLE
THAT YOU SEE PEOPLE GOING
FURTHER AND FURTHER OF THE
DIRECTION YOU ARE WORKING WITH
WIDE SCREEN.
GETTING MORE AND MORE GENERATED
STUFF AND SPENDING HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE
BUDGET.
YOU CAN'T MAKE THE SCREEN
SMALLER AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE
WHOA.
>> EASY.
>> HOW DID YOU GET READY FOR A
PERFORMANCE LIKE THIS IN TERMS
OF CREATING THAT CHARACTER BUT
KNOWING THAT YOU WILL DO BATTLE
WITH WILL FOR TWO HOURS?
>> I HAVE SEEN SO MANY GREAT
PERFORMANCES THAT WILL HAVE
DONE, I KNOW HE CAN BRING THE
LEVEL OF INTENSITY.
THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD STUFF ON
THE PAGE THAT IT JUST FELT IT
WAS DOWN TO YOU TO MESS IT UP.
>> A LITTLE BIT?
>> HE HAS A WAY TO PLAY A SCENE
WHERE I HAD THREE IDEAS.
>> PATTINSON WAS BORN IN LONDON.
HIS MOTHER WAS A BOOKER FOR A
MODEL AGENCY.
HIS FATHER IS AN ANTIQUE SALES
MAN.
>> I WAS IN BACKSTAGE BECAUSE I
LIKED THE GIRL THERE.
THAT WAS THE REASON I JOINED.
I SAW THESE TWO PEOPLE IN THE
AUDIENCE WHO RECOGNIZED ME.
I WAS HORRIFIED BY THE SCENE.
I WAS LIKE WHOA, I AM GETTING A
HIGH OFF OF THIS.
PATTINSON WAS HOOKED BUT HE HAD
A PROBLEM.
HE ABSOLUTELY DREADED THE
AUDITION PROCESS.
>> I USED TO GET SO PARALYZED
WHEN I GO INTO AUDITIONS AND
STUFF.
I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING IN THE
AUDITION.
AND I THINK I HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT SO MANY YEARS TO
GET RID OF THE ANXIETY BY TRYING
TO CALM OURSELF DOWN.
IT NEVER WORKED.
>> IT DOES NOT DO YOU WELL THAT
YOU ARE NERVOUS AT AUDITIONS.
>> YOU JUST NEED ONE TO WORK.
>> THE ONE CAME IN 2005 WHEN
PATTINSON WAS CAST AS CEDRIC, A
SMALL ROW IN THE HIGHEST
GROSSING FILM OF THAT YEAR,
"HARRY POTTER."
>> WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU
WANT?
>> 2008 BROUGHT THE STARRING
ROLE THAT CHANGED PATTINSON'S
LIFE AS VAMPIRE EDWARD COLIN IN
THE BLOCKBUSTER ROMANTIC FANTASY
"TWILIGHT."
>> THERE WERE FIVE TWILIGHT
MOVIES IN FIVE YEARS.
TOGETHER THEY GROSSED
$3.3 BILLION AND ONE OBSESSIVE
FAN BASE.
>> THE ONLY WAY I CAN PROTECT
YOU IS TO BE WITH YOU.
>> PATTINSON WAS SPLASHED ON THE
COVER OF TABLOIDS AND CHASE BY
PAPARAZZI, HE ATTEMPTED TO TURN
DOWN THE TEMPERATURE ON HIS OWN
FAME.
>> ANYTHING THAT COMES QUICKLY.
I AM NOT SURE GIVING OR FEEDING
PEOPLE NOVELTY THE WHOLE TIME
THAT SEEMS TO BE TO MAINTAIN
THAT KIND OF -- I WAS NOT DOING
THAT AT ALL.
>> WITH THE END IN 2012,
TWILIGHT FRANCHISE, PATTINSON
TURNED TO INDEPENDENT ART FILM
THAT EARNED HIM CRITICAL ACCLAIM
AND SMALLER AUDIENCES.
>> I AM INTERESTED IN GETTING
ONE PERSON TO REALLY LIKE IT AND
BE THAT FAVORITE MOVIE RATHER
THAN GET LOAD OF PEOPLE TO BE
LIKE OH I AM GOING TO SEE THAT.
JUST GENERALLY WHAT HAPPENS TO
MY MOVIE.
ONE GUY.
>> THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?
>> PATTINSON'S BREAK FROM THE
BLOCKBUSTER IS ABOUT TO END IN A
BIG WAY.
THE ACTOR HAS BEEN CAST AS A
NEXT BAT MAN FOLLOWING IN THE
FOOTSTEPS OF MICHAEL KEATON AND
BEN AFFLECK.
>> YOU HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT BAT
MAN.
THAT CAME TO YOU AND YOU THOUGHT
WHAT?
YOU WANT TO BE A SUPER HERO?
>> IT IS NOT SUPER.
>> FORGIVE ME.
>> HOW DO YOU CLASSIFY?
>> DOES NOT COUNT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE MAGICAL POWER.
>> HE'S GOT A CAPE.
>> I WILL GIVE YOU THAT ONE.
WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU
HEARD THAT OFFER?
>> AN IMMEDIATE YES.
>> I WILL BE UP ON BILLBOARDS
AND MY FACE AND LIFE WILL BE
BACK OUT THERE.
>> IT IS APART OF ME THAT JUST
THINKS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO,
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WITH
"TWILIGHT" AND SO SUDDEN.
AND NOW I AM HOPING IT WON'T BE
PEOPLE HANGING OUT MYSELF MY
PLACE, I JUST THINK I AM BORING
AND OLD NOW.
>> "THE LIGHTHOUSE" IS IN
THEATERS NOW.

MAN, CHECK ON OUR THE
DEARLY DEPARTED.
WE'LL BE BACK IN 30 SECONDS.
