AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Robert Pattinson playfully called Michael Bay's Transformers the definitive film of the 2000s during an interview promoting his new psychological thriller Primetime.
Robert Pattinson recently sat down for an interview on A24 and Letterboxd show The List alongside filmmaker Lance Oppenheim. While chatting about film aesthetics and bright, saturated color grading, Pattinson dropped a cheeky take by calling Michael Bay's Transformers the definitive movie of the 2000s. Known for his playful interviews and tendency to troll the audience, Pattinson delivered the line with a familiar smirk. The conversation also touched on cinematic highlights like Scarface and Vanilla Sky, giving fans another glimpse into the actor's eccentric taste.
The pair appeared on the show to promote Primetime, a psychological thriller distributed by A24 where Pattinson portrays a heightened version of television host Chris Hansen. The film recently pulled in a strong 19.2 million dollars during its opening weekend. IGN awarded the movie a 9 out of 10, praising Pattinson for setting the screen ablaze with his intense performance. The real Chris Hansen has even responded to the project by announcing his own upcoming documentary after calling the feature a fever dream.
Outside of his latest indie thriller, Pattinson is currently busy filming The Batman Part 2, teasing that the sequel takes the character in a completely different direction. While fans continue to campaign for him to take on the Joker or bring his gritty detective into the wider DC universe, Pattinson remains focused on his specific creative tone. Meanwhile, in unrelated franchise news reported by IGN South Africa, the planned Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover movie has officially been canceled, leaving room for standalone projects instead.
