Clarification About the Vikend Interview with Robert Pattinson

Yesterday we posted a translation of the Vikend Magazine's Interview with Robert Pattinson. Some questioned the accuracy of the translation and wondered if it was another fake interview. Darja, who translated the article, made some inquiries and wanted to answer some questions:

I was reading the comments under the article and I would like to explain something: The interviewer, MR. Hundić is Croatian and I'm sure the interview is NOT fake. He was there, in LA, during the press junket, he was sent there by distributor for the Adriatic region (Slovenia, Croatia and some other countries), BLITZ FILM.

But he is probably not the ultimate Twilight fan and he wasn't paying attention to every single word Rob said and that's why maybe there are some small "mistakes" or inconsistencies in the article. I am also positive that he doesn't give a d*** about Robsten or Nonsten and that he didn't search for hidden meaning about their relationship in Rob's answers.

The word "white" was used, but not in a racist meaning. (we don't use Caucasian in Europe or at least in my part of Europe). It was a little strange use of the word, but I didn't want to change anything, since it was a translation and not my article.

I tried to do the best job possible, but as I said before, English is not my first language and I haven't studied it in university so I may have made a mistake translating, but I don't think so, because I was extra careful.

Love, Darja

From Mateja Košir, Vikend, editor in chief:

I know that you might think that, since some Slovenian media will unscrupulously print "borrowed" interviews or generic ones that one can get for any of the films distributed in Slovenia. But Vikend does not print any of those generic interviews and when we claim that we have conducted an interview, we actually mean it. The interview with Robert Pattinson (and the one with Kristen Stewart we'll print this week) is a genuine interview. It was conducted at the time and in the manner stated. This is an authentic interview which can be verified further by the Blitz Film distribution that bought the rights for Slovenia and nominated Stjepan Hundić for the interview in Los Angeles press junket. Vikend has a circulation of up to 200.000, which is not unsubstantial even when compared to some foreign media, as in the USA they tend to be more regional newspapers than national. After it is published in Vikend, this interview is subsequently published online and sold to other media in Croatia, Serbia and Romania. We get many invitations to interviews like that - sometimes they are hard to get, sometimes they are not - and you know, sometimes they also charge for them.
Kind regards and don't miss this Friday (or Saturday) edition of Vikend to see the Kristen Stewart interview :-)
