Filmmaker Robert Eggers and Actors Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson discuss their new film THE LIGHTHOUSE with moderator Jacqueline Coley (Rotten Tomatoes) following a sold-out opening weekend show.
Recorded at the Landmark in Los Angeles on 10/19/19.
Willem cracking up at "salty seamen" haha
I think he might be laughing at Eggers nerdy depth of historical knowledge about film stock and color processing.
@@a.gillmax4173 that and the subtle semen joke, which was more on point than such jokes usually are
@@LordMarlle There is quite a bit of salty seaman in The Lighthouse after all.
Even some of the audience caught on and started laughing too
I think another person on KZhead said it best: Robert Pattinson treats life like a PowerPoint presentation that he didn't prepare for. (and it's epic)
WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE
Love this!
@@franciscatv9681 Well, it's true.
Have you seen new york hotdog 😂
@@rasmussyrjala1370 yes and I just found out today that Robert wrote it 😭😭
2:39 Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes they just fix the audio.
My mann!!
😆
What a great interviewer. She knew the actors, she knew the movie, she respect the craft and don't speak over them. Seems like they had a good time, major props to her.
Been watching a bunch of Lighthouse interviews and she is honestly one of the best hosts, she is so good!
Agreed.
Exactly, Pattinson despite his beauty, has something thought provoking and mysterious about his face, it makes you wonder and intrigues you. Willem of course has that as well, and even more so. The casting was great.
Something about him reminds me a bit of a younger version of Marlon Brandon as Captain Kurtz
It legitimately makes me happy to see so many people loving on "The Lighthouse".
I'm loving it. As much as I love The Witch. Both beautiful films. I would go as far as saying my favorite movies of all time. I love mindphuck movies and The Lighthouse was definitely a mindphuck movie
@@rigamortis3103 Not my favorite movies of al l times, but Eggers is well on his way to be one of the great masters of cinema
I think I could listen to Defoe talking for ours
The h is silent.
@@elfsieben1450 it also happens to be invisible.
Robert Pattinson is not only a brilliant actor, he also has the most beautiful hair lol :)
Hehehe
Literally, scientifically-proven the most handsome man in the world
The definition of a good movie is that after i watched it, i have to suck in all the interviews and stuff where the people who made the film talk about it. This was one of them.
Yes!!
Willem's bit on knitting was off the hook
Pattinson radiates insane amounts of chaotic energy lmao
Dafoe laughing at salty seamen is excellent
7:07 I just caught that too 😂
Eggerts is so humble for a guy who is essentially a modern day Kubrick.
i loooooove roberts work but that is such a massive overstatement lol
Two exceptional under-rated actors.
I dunno man they’re both highly revered in the industry, with quite a lot of films on their belt and of course both are millionaires.
Your Comment Gets A Gold Star That’s very true mate!
Pattinson maybe but since when is Willam Dafoe underrated?
brilliant interview. god *damn* this film was incredible. just absolutely soaked head to toe in tension and atmosphere and style. truly unique
agreed. honestly, since i first watched it, i haven't really been able to stop thinking about it.
Watch this film three times at a full moon midnight, and the third time around you will grow a beard from nothing, and it will have the smell of kelp and the taste of salt to it. That's how good this film is.
Makes me think of Zulawski's Possession in terms of intensity
Absolutely. The sea spray, the cold, the horrid food, the scratchy burlap clothes of the 19th century, the language.....just such a vivid atmosphere. You FEEL it.
It's funny that Dafoe thought Pattinson was interesting and mysterious when he did Twilight (14:00) because what Dafoe's character says to Pattinson in the film applies pretty nicely to his Twilight persona: "Ye pretended to some mystery in yer quietudes, but there aren't no mystery. You're an open book. A picture, says I!"
Eggers is fucking ICONIC!! Incredible nerd level dedication!! Everyone involved absolutely stunning!!
11:25 Willem's "Why not?" killed me.
I'm glad tha Dafoe heard the words "salty sea-men" the same way I did.
I really love the moderator, very natural, very pleasant, very professional and knowledgeable person. I NEVER notice moderators unless those that are like her or Jenelle Riley. :)
Robert is such a gifted actor but the way he describes his process it’s almost like he never prepares he just shows up and performs. I know it’s not that simple. What could anyone say about Mr Willem Defoe? He’s AMAZING as always! Just beautiful performances from both! Love the film. It’s very interesting just two people and conversations (drama) like it used to be (Think Hitchcock). Excellent!
Wasnt a fan of Robert Pattinson until this. Deeply love Willen Dafoe. He's an amazing actore
Anyone notices Rob looks so anxious during this, Williams even asked him if he was okay And he shakes his head. You can see towards the start him breathing heavily into himself, rocking back and forth, hardly talking. I’m proud he powered through it! Anxiety isn’t easy at all so that’s why I’m proud!
Lily X He is great without an audience!
Juliétte I agree and also he’s really good with out any pressure I’ve noticed
Which Rob?
Orlando Benson Robert Pattinson
It must be really nerve wracking to struggle with extroverted communication and listen to Willem speak eloquence without pause. Of course he was nervous. I like him a lot and hope he gets the praise he deserves to ease his anxiety.
what a great and personable host. really eased the actors into each part of the conversation. this was fun to watch
Shout-out to the techie who fixed the sound at 2:38
The dynamic between these three is absolutely hilarious, and the interviewer is really cool!
Dafoe reached Pattison to goggle about salty seamen aaah so cute )))))
Defoe was extraordinary in this
Willem is pure class, and shows his age and maturity by being able to string together multiple thoughts and sentences without using the word 'like'.
I love how the visuals and the general tone of the movie will repel people that won't do a bit of legwork, and on the other hand pull everybody else inside its maelstrom "it feels like a documentary and not a narrative piece of fiction" While I know what she meant, I'd still would love to know where she gets her documentaries from.
I knew Willem was going to say Beautiful many times in his explanation 😂 Great interview!
Young actors should listen to Dafoe. He's a great teacher.
Many thanks, best interview on this awesome film (and I have watched a good few) that I have seen.
There's a great interview on a cinematography channel too for the equipment they used
What channel.
And I waaaa
18:13 William Dafoe : Why not?
Love Rob Pat. Great interview. Loved it when they were talking amongst themselves and asking each other questions. I enjoyed it!
I'm a bit of a lighthouse keeper myself.
I was there in Westwood! good times
Came for Pattinson, stayed for Defoe
😎
I watched this with my mother... she's old school so yeah it was a bit cringe but I watched it again with my girlfriend and realized how artsy and amount of effort in acting their is
Both actors were great in this but especially Willem Defoe
13:00 I love this
Does anyone have the druggie yelling guy clip that Robert references
Did this woman just say the Lighthouse felt like a documentary? Lol
There was such a MODERNIST bent in this movie. Specifically EZRA POUND. The Seafarer. Look it up here on KZhead.
I want someone to look at me the way they looked at each other lol
17:06 For all you dirty minded people 😂
Over too soon!
Ya really shouldn't blame an actor for a bad character in a film. We all make the mistake of blaming the actors for poor performances and bad characters but also completely forget the fact the Actors didnt not create the role, nor write the screenplay, nor dialog and in most cases didnt direct themselves doing the role, we forget who the blame should really be aimed at... The Directors, the Writers, the Producers and casting agents. A film and its execution falls on those individuals. The Actors try to understand and translate the character in the script, but the final word on that character is that the director who approves it or not. As such Pattinson should not be mared for the role he played in TWILIGHT, Give you a perfect example.. Mark Hamill in The last Jedi. The Actor himself knew his character was completely wrong from his previous iterations , only to later find that the directors and writers were basically hacks set out to drive Starwars and its key characters into a brick wall. Cant blame Hamill, you have to blame those truly responsible.
xevious2501 He didn’t have to finish the series and they almost fired him before new moon for not smiling enough , so he smiled more. So stop acting like he was held prisoner in Twilight Series!
@@julietteSoul I really dont get what your on about, But!. when actors take roles they typically dont want to bail on projects as theyre under contract by their studio and obligated to complete the projects they themselves had agreed to understake. Bailing brings untrust and such a thing scares directors and producers, if they cant trust your obligation to their investment, you will likely find yourself out of work for a long time. having broke the rule of the actors guild.
@@julietteSoul he also signed a contract for eight films in the franchise, and he still did other projects throughout, so you can't judge him for a decision ne and his agents made when he was 21.
@@julietteSoul Stupid reply
Is Willem going full Kirk Lazarus?
this was a true story about smalls lighthouse in wales uk in 1801
Loosely inspired lol
When they meant the "stars", they really meant it. As in, there are only two people in this entire film.
Robert Pattinson has some trouble with the microfone cabeling
17:06
TMZ: is Robert Eggers gay? Find out why he called Robert Pattinson beautiful in our next video!
He was in LOVE with the actor that played the human 'Black Philip".
Where?
jungian eggers
Like it do ye?
14:10, 17:03, 20:04
Salt seamen
If You EVER think of wanting to become a Positively remembered cast member interviewer, then you Have to be the kind of a person Jacqueline Coley is - an Actual Cinema fan. Her questions and quickie opinions just Cemented the fact she Cares for the Art form, and Not some sjw agenda the They are trying to show down our throats about gender/racial diversity, etc. Jacqueline truly new why she was there, and appreciated the artistic achievement, instead of trying to slather it in some ideological fashion statement for the next fad to be born.
I agree!
Good film but the idea was nicked from an earlier Welsh film from 2016.
No...as Robert said, he was looking into it since 2011..the self film is based on the real lighthouse incident in the UK, off of which this movie is looosely based on..that's why you felt that it was nicked.
@@themythicfire7560 It's a great film non the less and I enjoyed it immensely. Interesting what you said, didn't know he was looking into it since 2011.
Honestly, not gonna lie, listening to Robert Eggers is s bit hard... :/ He stutters a lot. Btw, the interviewer was AMAZING.
I love listening to Eggers. I watched a 1 hour lecture he gave for a Bafta thing and I enjoyed it.
Dafoe eating dirt and Pattinson being eaten...discuss.
Such bad questions, but the answers were great and entertaining
When is anyone going to fess up that this is a very recent remake of a BBC and BMI production which was brilliant? Literally within 2 years. It's a disgraceful rip off not mentioning that. Shame on them...
?
Ots not...Eggers was making this up since like 2011 and that production is based off of a real life lighthouse incident in the UK off of which this is loosely based off of...very different movies.. somewhat based on a real event..it isn't a bloody ripoff of any sorts..the BBC one was a docu-film, this is a psychological horror/dark comedy loosely based on the real event
No...
Great film, great director and actors, another sub par interviewer rambling and distracting from the talent on stage.
Making a movie in black and white, a narrow aspect ratio, with old lenses doesn’t make a good movie. This was movie was soulless, aimless, I didn’t care about the characters at all. It stunk.
Interviewer is annoying
She doesn’t shut up. Think she’s in the cast
No. She's a great interviewer.
Wow this was awkward. Rob is a dolt.
