Robert Pattinson on working with Denzel Washington in The Take: “Denzel is one of the reasons I wanted to become an actor, so getting to work with him was pretty incredible. What I loved was seeing how alive the material is for him. Even after all these years of acting, he’s still looking for something new in every take. I also didn’t realize how much he liked to improvise, which made it all the more exciting. You’d start a five-page scene thinking you knew where it was going, and then suddenly you’re completely off-piste. It was really thrilling.”

“Rob has built an extraordinary career defined by his unwavering dedication to his craft, fearless creative choices, and remarkable versatility as an actor. From his collaborations with some of cinema’s most visionary filmmakers to his ability to captivate audiences in major studio blockbusters, Rob has continually challenged expectations and demonstrated the power of great storytelling. Rob is the perfect choice to receive this award and join our esteemed list of artists who not only love cinema but continue to have a deep impact on our industry. We are thrilled that his filming schedule has allowed us the opportunity to recognize his exceptional contributions to film and we look forward to celebrating his continued achievements.” — Rick Nicita, Chair of the American Cinematheque Board.

Zendaya mentions how heat was the hardest thing to mediate while filming, and that Robert Pattinson had it the hardest, prepping earlier than everyone due to his prosthetics taking the longest: “You’ve got to get ready and set up before the sun starts coming up, while it’s still cool, and also we had to get into the prosthetics of it all. No one earlier than Rob.” (New York Times)
