Rob talks about the DVD extras
Can you talk about any scenes you shot that won’t be in the theatrical cut of Twilight, but that we might later see on the DVD?
There’s quite a lot of stuff. We fought the big fight scene at the end within the first week, and I was really convinced that, the way I established the character arc, that Edward needed to be 100 percent demonic in the last fight. The “monster,” which he always says he is to Bella, I wanted him to become that at the end. I kind of psyched myself up a week to do this nuts fight. As soon as I started doing it I don’t think anyone expected me to do it like that, so they were like “Uh, tone it down.” I had maybe 13 takes where my direction was “tone it down” on every single take. I had no idea what was going on. I would love to see what the first take was, especially after seeing the final thing, with one bit of a fight with me and Cam – where we were growling at each other where we both really into it, like we were vampires. When we watched the playback afterwards, there was a big bright light, and we didn’t realize…we thought it was kind of dark and you could just see these two guys, one with a bouffant haircut and the other with his abs just there like “Aaaaaargh!” [Laughs.] It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I hope that’s on the DVD, it’s quite funny.

Premiere.com Interview

Just days before Twilight pandemonium is unleashed at a theater near you, Robert Pattinson, who plays the dreamy vampire Edward in the film adaptation of the Stephenie Meyer bestseller, still manages to work the mellow Brit vibe. We caught up with the actor during a quiet moment on the whirlwind promo jaunt for the movie, which hits theaters Nov. 21, to chat about his music, those adoring (if bold) Twilighters, and being one of Perez's boys.
I've been hearing about the fans just going crazy at the promo events for Twilight. You're bearing the brunt of it, huh?
It's been fun. It's weird, I get to a city and I always get told there was a riot earlier on. By the time I get there, it's always quieted down a bit. But it is pretty nuts. I thought it might happen in one city, but it's happening everywhere, in every single city we go to, around the world. It's pretty crazy.
What's the weirdest thing that's happened so far?
Well, this was in New York, at the Apple store. This really, really young girl came up on stage, and she asked me to bite her, but like in such a passionate way — it wasn't really fun and games, "Hey, will you bite me, haha, joking!" She'd made up her mind, she got on the stage, and she wanted it. Like a real vampire bite.
So did you bite her?
Yeah, I did!
You did?
No, I didn't, really. Of course not. But it was really funny. It's just so strange how I go to these events and a lot of the people who are there are just completely convinced that I'm Edward. I'm really the character from the book, there is no Robert Pattinson. It's so funny. And they react in that way, not as if I'm just an actor.
Do you get stalked when you're just walking down the street on your own? Do people recognize you?
I don't even know. I mean, I haven't really done anything normal for ages now. God, it's been so long since I've even just walked down the street by myself. Actually, in New York, it didn't really happen. I went off on my own a bit. But it's really strange just being in airports and there are people there waiting for you to get off the plane with their cameras, and you're just exhausted. It's so weird. That's the biggest change I've noticed.
Have you seen the movie yet?
I haven't. I don't really watch my stuff at all, so I don't think I will end up seeing it. Well, maybe I will. I think I'll end up seeing it at the premiere, but I really don't like watching myself on screen.
Did you guys use a lot of CGI in the infamous sparkling Edward scene?
As usual, in Oregon, there were incredibly unpredictable, bizarre weather conditions. There was no sunlight that day, as usual, and of course, we needed this big ray of sunlight, so we used a huge light and I turned around into it. There was no make-up or anything on the day. We had tried to do it with make-up, but it just didn't work so we had to do it with special effects. It was done by George Lucas' company, Industrial Light & Magic, and apparently it looks pretty cool but I haven't seen it yet. But the people at the junket said it looks pretty amazing.
What's going on with New Moon?
I think the script's done already, they just need to greenlight it. But I think it all depends on how well Twilight does, whether it's shot or not.
I read somewhere that Catherine Hardwicke, the director, estimated it needs to earn $150 million.
Oh wow! I don't think it's that much! Is it? We've got our work cut out for us then. But I think there's a lot more CGI needed in the second one, so I think it is a significant amount of money. The second book was my favorite book, so I'm quite looking forward to working on it.
Go HERE to read the rest of the interview it is quite long
So it's a NO on the media training then?
Thanks to Lisa for the find!
Well you're perfect...obviously
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - November 13, 2008 (WPVI) -- The star of the movie Twilight took a bite out of King of Prussia.
Teens and tweens were screaming about one thing Thursday in King of Prussia, or one man, more specifically, Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson is the star of the best selling book series turned movie, Twilight, a modern day love story between a human and a vampire.
The big screen heartthrob, who also starred in one of the Harry Potter Movies, signed autographs for almost two hours, but fans started lining up to see Pattinson just before midnight.
Fans only got about 15 seconds with the star, but they said it was worth it.
"When I first saw him, I was taken back, his hair, he's just lovely, but I got what i wanted to say---i told him he is an inspiration," Daria Rose of Broomall said.
"He was awesome, he was so sweet, he looks you right in the face, he's so sweet, it's amazing," Diana Enes of Riverside said.
The actor, himself, was taken back, too.
"Here was nuts, generally just really speechless people, here it's like one in three people weeping. So it was crazy," Pattinson said.
Twilight opens Friday November 21.
