‘The Lighthouse’ Left Robert Pattinson Wanting to Go


Working on Robert Eggers’ slow-boiling horror movie “The Lighthouse” left Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in two very completely different states of thoughts. The actors informed TheWrap on the Toronto Film Festival that whereas Dafoe was in a position to simply slip out and in of the position, Pattinson quickly discovered himself as pent-up as his character.

“I was charged up at the end of every day, to be honest,” Pattinson informed TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven. “By the end of the day you’re keeping yourself…so wound up the whole time that by the end I wanted to go out clubbing. But there’s nowhere to go!”

“The Lighthouse” has been acclaimed since its Cannes premiere 4 months in the past. It is the follow-up to Eggers’ satanic interval piece “The Witch,” following a pair of lighthouse keepers whose grip on sanity slowly dwindles as they grapple with the isolation that comes with being in a tiny tower surrounded by stormy climate. Filmed in black and white and in 4:three ratio, Eggers’ route and Dafoe and Pattinson’s efficiency drag the viewers into the claustrophobic actuality these two face.

While Pattinson was overwhelmed by filming such a tense story, Dafoe stated he discovered filming the film to be moderately stress-free. He thinks the distinction between the actors’ expertise displays the distinction between Dafoe’s Thomas Wake, who bellows and hisses his rage freely, and Pattinson’s Ephraim Winslow, who retains his feelings bottled up.

“He’s holding a lot of secrets in all day and I’m sort of splattin’ him,” Dafoe stated. “I’m pretty chill. I transferred it all to him!”
