Like many successful franchises actors like Daniel Radcliffe, Pattinson wants to leave behind the image of Mexico has hecCiudad .- Robert Pattinson has become one of the most sought after actors of his generation. Through its participation in two of the most successful film franchises in recent years (Harry Potter and Twilight), his fame has grown at exponential.

However, the popularity of his most famous character, the vampire Edward, has put limits on the acting (as we still have to cover two more installments of the same.)

Opens Friday in Spain Water for Elephants, an actor’s effort to demonstrate a wider range of acting that deliveries youth poupulares vampires and werewolves.

“I thought there was something very attractive and touching about this story. But even before reading the script or the book, Francis Lawrence, the director, said he wanted to have a meeting with me and took me to the elephant sanctuary where he lives ‘Tai’ (the elephant who plays ‘Rosie’ who has an important bearing on the tape). I think he did with every intention for any actor who knows ‘Tai’, immediately accepted the job, “the actor said in an interview given by 20th Century Fox

Water for Elephants is located in the Depression era in the United States and presents the story of ‘Jacob’ (Pattinson), a veterinary student who loses everything when her parents die in an accident. Devastated, she leaves her hometown and joins a circus, getting jobs caring for animals while they are in love with ‘Marlena’ (Reese Witherspoon), the main attraction of the circus and wife of ‘August’ (Christoph Waltz) The charismatic but abusive and volatile driver circus.

The friendship of ‘Marlena’ and ‘Jacob’ is being developed while building a relationship around ‘Rosie’, an elephant that was brought to halt the decline of fortune in the circus.

“I honestly believe that I have more affinity with animals than with people. What I like to work is that animals do not know if you’re the star or just an actor. You can make long shots in which only react to what the creatures with which you work. It’s like working with a baby and all is good with babies, “said Pattinson, on its work with circus animals, which is constant throughout the film.

About people with whom he was so happy to work, the actor mentions Rodrigo Prieto, renowned Mexican photographer in Hollywood (Brokeback Mountain, Alexander, 8 mile), whom he considers a great talent, since the challenge when mount, dismount and shoot a circus is not easy.

“Rodrigo Prieto’s work was amazing. We took some huge risks. The initial decision which will install the circus is amazing. Literally there are 300 extras who get off the train and assemble the tents and it was all filmed in one take. The director, Rodrigo wanted to film the scene at dusk so we had to be very accurate, “said Pattinson, who emphasizes the aesthetic details of his latest project.

Robert says that beyond the complexity of interacting with animals and characters from a circus, the main challenge of playing ‘Jacob’ had to do with showing emotions without words. “Much of the character’s emotional journey is raised during the first two minutes of the film but without much dialogue. I was quite worried about it, but Francis was very good to relieve the tension, “the actor recalled.

The story is about a young man who, after living a tragedy, joins a circus as an animal caretaker.
Another support for the young actor was having two Oscar winners, like fellow table: Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds). Reese had worked in the film Vanity Fair, and denied the rumors about his bad relationship.

“Vanity Fair was my first job in this race, had no experience as an actor and got the job by accident so I was absolutely terrified. Reese went to my trailer before filming began and said, ‘Do you want to review your dialogue and talk about the scene? “She was incredibly famous and was not obliged to do that. It was nice working with her on this occasion, “said Pattinson.

The actor knows that going through a good run in his career and his name on a poster can bring thousands of teenagers into theaters, but wishes to make clear that it expects to be appreciated for his talent as an actor, beyond its physical appearance or status as a superstar.

“I do not really think much about fame. One hopes that people will love you for who you are rather than how you perceive. But from the beginning, I never saw myself that way. It’s weird, because before I never got Twilight heartthrob roles. It’s funny when the world suddenly turns and are seen very differently, “said the actor, recently named one of the most beautiful people by People magazine.

On the future, Pattinson said his interest is in film production “and have more to say about the preproduction of the film in which I appear.” Anticipates that work under the orders of David Cronenberg after finishing Twilight in something “completely different” and then wants to enter the field of leadership “I have a few things in mind,” he said.
