The Devil All The Time

Robert Pattinson joined a star-studded cast for Antonio Campos’ Southern Gothic thriller ‘The Devil All the Time’.

In the 2020 movie, Pattinson portrays Reverend Preston Teagardin, a manipulative preacher who exploits his position to seduce vulnerable young women in a post-war Ohio town.

The film - which also stars Bill Skarsgard, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough and Jason Clarke - weaves multiple dark narratives, centreing on Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) as he confronts the sinister forces corrupting his community.

Given the movie’s extremely dark tone, Pattinson thought ‘The Devil All The Time’ was a comedy film when he first got his hands on the script!

He recalled: “I remember reading the script and it was so extreme, with such monstrous characters, I was thinking it had to be [a comedy].”
