Pattinson has one problem – he doesn’t like to rehearse

The film was shot on location in Nova Scotia, and Defoe revealed that the extreme weather conditions were one of the most challenging aspects of the production.

And while I’m not a masochist, there’s no substitute for shitty weather. It has the ability to put you in a place where you can connect to your body, where you don’t even have to pretend. When you’re cold, you’re cold. The weather element was an integral part of the story and we were going to be in it. Sometimes the weather was so fierce that we could just be swept out to sea, and the rain so heavy (both natural and sometimes amplified by sprinkler technology) that it burned my skin red hot.
