Robert Pattinson, the star of the upcoming sci-fi film Mickey 17, recently opened up
00:06
about the state of cinema and how close he came to stepping away from acting.
00:11
Speaking with Vanity Fair in the recent conversation, Robert reflected on the challenging years
00:16
of the COVID-19 pandemic and the strikes that disrupted Hollywood.
00:21
Pattinson admitted saying,
00:23
The last few years for the film industry, starting with COVID and then strikes, everyone
00:28
was constantly saying cinema is dying, and quite convincingly.
00:33
This sense of uncertainty made him question his career path, nearly turning him off acting
00:38
entirely.
00:40
The tenant actor further explained how movies started to feel overly studio-driven, leaving
00:45
actors and audiences yearning for something more.
00:48
Every actor for two years was saying, what is happening, nothing's cool, he shared.
00:53
Despite this gloom, Pattinson noticed a recent shift in the industry that reignited his passion
00:59
for filmmaking.
01:00
Highlighting the last few months, he pointed out a surge of bold and ambitious films.
01:06
Robert Pattinson on this new trend in filmmaking sounded optimistic, describing how a new batch
01:12
of directors has brought fresh energy to the industry.
01:16
He mentioned movies like Our Man, The Brutalist, and Enora as examples of innovative storytelling
01:22
that have excited him.
01:24
This resurgence of creativity gives him hope that audiences are ready to embrace bold narratives
01:30
again.
01:31
The Twilight actor also spoke about upcoming projects including Mickey 17, which is helmed
01:37
by Bong Joon-ho.
01:38
Set for release in March, the film is one of many projects he hopes will benefit from
01:43
his renewed enthusiasm for cinema.
01:46
As he looks to the future, Pattinson sees plenty of reasons to stay in the game, though
01:50
he acknowledged a time when he genuinely considered retiring after completing The Batman
01:55
trilogy.
