Things that make you go hmmmm: Robert Pattinson penned a screenplay? New interview with Stephenie Meyer suggests so

Things that make you go hmmmm: Robert Pattinson penned a screenplay? New interview with Stephenie Meyer suggests so

PhotobucketRob's such a hot commodity. A renaissance man. An artist with boundless talents. Sure we're biased but it's the best bias to be in. ;)

Rob's affection for Martin Amis' Money is nothing new (he'd like to play John Self one day) and neither is knowing he writes more than songs. Put two and two together and you get this mention from an interviewer and Stephenie Meyer, who's promoting The Host. Excerpt from The Times (UK):
Meyer adds that she hasn’t seen either of them since the last Breaking Dawn premiere, and missed their company deeply on the set of The Host. Nevertheless, she hasn’t yet felt inspired to seek out any of Pattinson’s own writing, which includes a screen adaptation of the Martin Amis novel Money – about as far removed from Twilight as it is possible to get. “No, I haven’t read his script,” she admits, sheepishly, looking surprised that I know of its existence. “I’d be interested… and a little scared.”
Click HERE to read the article in its entirety. She talks Twilight, the fame that came with the territory and calling Rob fans Robsters........??? :)

Lord only knows if or when we could see this to fruition. Our constant state of being right now is to just keep hearing/reading about RenaissanceRob and waiting to see RenaissanceRob. We'll wait for a lifetime. That's part of a ROBsessed vow, non? Must find those oaths in the DR safe. ;)

Thanks for the heads up, Calihi!

Robert Pattinson takes on another supporting role and MTV says it might be his most important move

Robert Pattinson takes on another supporting role and MTV says it might be his most important move

PhotobucketRob's attachment to Hold On To Me has been garnering some positive feedback and possibly for the reason Empire Online stated, "while it still boasts Mulligan in the lead, it'll also come packing some Pattinson power."

MTV has also weighed in on Rob hopping into a few supporting roles. Other than Mission: Blacklist, Rob will be supporting cast for The Rover, Queen of the Desert and now Hold On To Me. What were MTV's thoughts on this, 'Why Robert Pattinson's Supporting Role May Be His Most Important - Actor maps out his post-'Twilight' career with a supporting role in 'Hold Onto Me,' following in the footsteps of many of his A-list predecessors':
Where Robert Pattinson's popularity is concerned, an argument could be made that he's famous as he's going get. As his star-making "The Twilight Saga" is comes to an end, one big question remains: How will he hold onto his fame and parlay it into a lengthy and continually successful career?  
Judging by the qualityprojects he has lined up post-"Twilight," we think Pattinson is making all the right moves thus far, especially in signing up for a supporting role in the Indie-ish drama "Hold Onto Me," which was announced Tuesday. Why go for a supporting role when you don't have to? Well, the part is described as a "flashy" one, and it will find him starring opposite Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan. It's bound to further establish his acting chops, as several other equally famous leading men have done so before him.
Click HERE if you'd like to read about the A-list predecessors MTV paired Rob's supporting choice with: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise and Mark Wahlberg. Click HERE if you missed the initial announcement of Hold On To Me.

What do you guys think? Do you agree with MTV? Do you see the value of Rob's supporting roles? What is this Pattinson power he runs around packing? ;) Sound off in the DR.

SOLD! Robert Pattinson's artwork, Unfinished City, brings in $6,400 for charity!

SOLD! Robert Pattinson's artwork, Unfinished City, brings in $6,400 for charity!

UPDATE: Page Mackinley from The Inquisitr talked to Tim over the phone and got some more info. Tim was quoted saying the following:
“Robert heard about us through his assistant Jeff [last name omitted by request.] Jeff grew up with Cory Parsons, a key member of the Home Plate Project team.” [along with Luis Calderon.]  
“[He was] really excited to create something to help the project,” Emory says.  
Bidding began on July 20 and finished midnight, August 31. In a phone call, Emory said early bids for Pattinson’s plate began at $ 150. But after Robsessed — a Robert Pattinson fan site — started publicizing the auction, that figure jumped to $ 1,500 within three hours. Then, things got crazy.  
“Bids came in from all over,” says Emory. “There was a worldwide response due to Robert Pattinson’s participation. It’s really what got us all the attention and helped us raise all this money.”  
“I’m humbled and excited by how much the [Arizona] community have embraced the project. They not only donated money and services, but their time,” he said. “The fact that a superstar like Robert Pattinson was willing to take the time to do a personal sketch is amazing,” says Emory.  
“It took us from a good little project to something that raised over $ 50, 000.”  
Asked if Pattinson was aware of the success of the fundraiser and how much his “Unfinished City” plate went for, Emory said the actor was told when the bid hit $ 3000 and that today his assistant texted Pattinson the final, stonker bid.
It's a great write up and ROBsessed is mentioned :) Click HERE to read it in its entirety! I got to say thanks to @lifeloveartfilm who contacted me the evening we first posted about the home plate. She asked me if I thought it was real and that led to me contacting Tim and the rest is history. Tim and Cory are awesome and I'm pretty sure I got Rob two more men to add to his super exclusive male fan base.

While we spearheaded this project within the fandom, pretty much all the major fansites that blog about Rob news posted the initial announcement and helped bring attention to this great cause. We're proud of Rob's talent and we're proud of his fandom that adores him.

Rob's Unfinished City was sold for $6,400!!!

Photobucket

In the home stretch is was CRAZY! Aside from doubling the weeks long stagnant bid of $3,000 in the final hours, the one-of-a-kind artwork went up by $2,000 in the final minutes!

Photobucket

Congratulations to the winner and we hope it's a devoted Rob fan. Either way, the artwork raised a nice amount of money for a worthy cause, Ozanam Manor, championed by the Home Plate Project - Arizona Diamondbacks' fundraising program (D-backs Give Back).

NEW: Robert Pattinson talks to ZDF (Germany) in Cannes for Cosmopolis Promo

NEW: Robert Pattinson talks to ZDF (Germany) in Cannes for Cosmopolis Promo

ZDF (Germany) spoke to Rob during the Cosmopolis press junket in Cannes. The interview isn't dubbed so give it a watch. Rob is very "fight the power" in it. I'm so ready to take it back. I'm not sure what "it" is yet (beyond the literal) but I'm going to take it because Rob speaks with such conviction.

Highlights:
  • Liked the challenge of trying to humanize Eric Packer.
  • Eric Packer lives in his own world and speaks his own language.
  • "If you feel like the world has been taken away from you, figure out how to take it back."
  • Thinks it's great that young people are trying to connect with doing something as opposed to sitting around on facebook, video games doing nothing.
  • Loves that they're out there and living.
 See? I did a fist pump just watching this. Although I should actually take my fist pump outside...

YouTube of MotivationalRob is in!



Thank you to our reader, Kathrin, for the heads up!  you

Sarah Gadon mentions Robert Pattinson in Cannes Interview

Sarah Gadon mentions Robert Pattinson in Cannes Interview

It's ironic what she says and then the fact we only have this excerpt from her interview.



I really like what Sarah is saying here because we all see that machine working every day. Always trying to get our attention since there's information we want about Rob. I wonder if the folks over at Yahoo & The Wrap realize what drove traffic to that 'Hate Mail' article yesterday. The fans have made Rob quite the powerful name...

From Forbes:

With the end of the Twilight franchise in sight, Pattinson is preparing himself for a post-vampire career. The romance Remember Me earned only $56 million but that's not bad considering the film had a tiny budget of $16 million. Water for Elephants, costarring Reese Witherspoon, also performed decently at the box office proving that audiences are willing to accept Pattinson as more than an undead heartthrob.


Um...how happy are you that Forbes acknowledges Remember Me's success? That stood out to me. :) And we know Water for Elephants is performing more than decently. ;)

Great job, Rob! Keep it up so being on this list is a normal annual occurrence for you. :)

New Moon

Although thousands of next Thursday night's midnight showtimes are sold-out across the country (from Anchorage, Alaska to Winter Park, Florida), tickets are still available, while new showtimes are added regularly to keep up with the demand.

"Ever since we started selling advance tickets to New Moon on August 31, the demand has been unstoppable, as the fan base just keeps growing every day," says Fandango Chief Operating Officer Rick Butler. "New Moon is tracking to be Fandango's #1 top advance ticket-seller of all time."

Currently, New Moon ranks as the #4 top advance ticket-seller in Fandango history, toppling Twilight which previously held the spot.

The Top 5 Advance Ticket-Sellers on Fandango (as of November 12, 2009) are as follows:
1.Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
2.Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
3.The Dark Knight (2008)
4.New Moon (2009)
5.Twilight (2008)

According to a recent Fandango survey of more than 2,000 New Moon ticket-buyers, the first Twilight movie helped fuel the fan frenzy that has carried over to the other installments in the series:
•55% said the first Twilight movie inspired them to read all the books by Stephenie Meyer.

•61% said they have read the novel New Moon more than once.
