Actor Robert Pattinson enjoyed the remote location on his new movie The Rover because it was pleasant not having to worry about fans or the paparazzi.

The Twilight hunk spent 41 days filming in the town the town of Marree, which boasts a population of just 90 people.

He says, "(It was) absolutely in the middle of nowhere. There's a road that goes from the east to the west of Australia, through the Outback, and we were at the point where it turns into a dirt track. It was the end of the tarmac, in this town of 90 people."

Pattinson tells The Hollywood Reporter that his accommodation was far from glamorous and the heat and the flies made filming tough at times, but he has fond memories of the time he spent in the little town with co-star Guy Pearce.

He adds, "There was something so (great), just being able to look for absolutely miles to the horizon. There's something really calming about it."
