TENET (2020) dir. Christopher Nolan

I was scared not because Love isn’t likable, but because it’s not the show they expect to see. There was a chance that once she started killing people, people wouldn’t like her anymore, but people amazingly seem drawn to her character and this insanity. The continued discussion is interesting

“The problem which I was finding was, however much I loved the movies I was doing, no one sees them. And so it’s kind of this frightening thing, ’cause I don’t know how viable this is for a career. I don’t know how many people there actually are in the industry who are willing to back you without any commercial viability whatsoever.” - Robert Pattinson (GQ Magazine, 2020)
