News Roundup

According to several sources New Moon and Eclipse will be filming back to back with the same new director. Melissa Rosenberg is already working on the script (Gozde's note: Damn it! She sucked in the first one!) and apparently she found a way to include more Edward in New Moon (Gozde: which also sucks. We all want more Rob(duh!) but it's New Moon! We need to miss Edward, suffer with Bella that he is gone).

Also the auditions for New Moon and Eclipse have started. Here is how you can audition:

BUZZINE Interview with Robert Pattinson

Yep he does say the words "Crotch" and "Raw" :-)

Robert Pattinson is hilarious

Slow news day :-) I found a video on youtube with Rob's funniest moments. Enjoy!

New Moon- New Director

Twilight director Catherine Hardwick has parted ways with directing New Moon. I don't like to say fired and we don't know the circumstances exactly surrounding the situation. However below is statements from Summit and Catherine Hardwick regarding the recent news.

Los Angeles, CA, December 7, 2008 – Summit Entertainment and director Catherine Hardwicke jointly announced today that the filmmaker will not be directing the next installment in the newly minted TWILIGHT film franchise. Summit’s targeted end of 2009 or early 2010 release of the film, NEW MOON, does not work with Ms. Hardwicke’s required prep time to bring her vision of the film to the big screen. Thus as has been done before with many successful film franchises, the studio will employ a new director for NEW MOON.    "I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct NEW MOON,” said Hardwicke. “Directing TWILIGHT has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel-- it is a great story."   “Catherine did an incredible job in helping us to launch the TWILIGHT franchise and we thank her for all of her efforts and we very much hope to work with her on future Summit projects,” said Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Production. “We as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created. We are able to pursue an aggressive time frame as we have the luxury of only adapting the novels into screenplays as opposed to having to create a storyline from scratch.”

Rob will still star in New Moon, so no worries there ladies, however it will be without Catherine Hardwick as a director. New Moon is set to start filming in March of next year, locations will be Portland OR, Canada, and Italy. I have heard the exterior for Volterra will be filmed in Italy and the interior shots done in Canada. No news yet on who will replace Catherine as director.

Forbes Breakout Stars of 08

No.5 Robert Pattinson

Once little known for his supporting role as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series, Pattinson is now drawing big crowds--and drooling ladies--of his own. In recent weeks, he's graced a slew of magazine covers and scored dozens of interviews for his starring role as Edward Cullen, the vampire in the silver screen's heavily hyped Twilight adaptation. Still more proof of his fan interest: The flick's opening weekend delivered a jaw-dropping $70 million at the U.S. box office.

Bravo Chats with Robert Pattinson-updated

Annet81 on imdb translated it and the German version is HERE.


RobandKristen: Hello everyone.
RobandKristen: We are happy to be here.
AntiNessie: Kristen, do you and Bella have some characteristics in common?
Kristen: I trust my instincts like she does. If something isn't right I feel it. But if something feels good I go for it.
VanessaEC: Is this Roberts' and Kristen's first visit to Germany?
Kristen: It is my first visit to Germany
Rob: I have been to Berlin a couple of times.
sheryn: What is your favorite scene in Twilight?
Kristen: I love the meadow scene.
Rob: Mine is the hospital scene.
Colorful: Which rumor would you like to clear up for good?
Rob: None, really.
Chococat: Did something embarrassing happen to you during the filming of Twilight? (if so, will it be on the DVD)
Kristen: Once Rob strained his groin while trying to lift me up. We were quite surprised for a moment, then we both fell over and thenall you could see were both of his legs in the air.
Lune_CC: Twilight has been very successful in the US. Do you still enjoy it visiting countries all over the world?
Rob: I wished we had more time to spend in each country. We hardly see anything.
Kristen: We basically only see the hotel rooms and nothing else.
schnuddel1995: Robert do you have anything in common with Edward?
Rob: I am bit of a loner but besides that I cannot relate to him at all.
Maren124: How was the atmosphere at the set?
Kristen: Everyone was quite stressed. There was so much to shoot and often things didn't really move forward.
ozi15: Robert, do you really play the piano or are you just pretending?
Rob: In the movie I play the piano myself. I replayed what the composer wrote for the scene. I play the piano since I was little.
IloveTwilight: How was the kissing scene for you?
Kristen: Yes we remember it.
Rob: We shot it in LA and it was really hot. My make-up had to be renewed every few minutes – that wasn’t very sexy.
Classic-Mashar: Do you have any pets?
Rob: I have a dog.
Kristen: My family has dogs but I have a cat. She is named Jella.
Tomke.Bench.core: What do you prefer Rob – acting or making music?
Rob: I like both for different reasons. Music means freedom to me. But in acting you can pretend to be someone else and I like that.
e_e: Which scene was the most difficult one to shoot for you?
Kristen: The meadow scene took a long while to shoot. The beginning and the ending of the scene vary very much.
Rob: The whole structure of the scene was very complex. We did about 50 different camera shots.
Dali: Do you believe in vampires?
Rob and Kristen: No, we don’t.
Lica: When were stunt doubles used?
Rob: I had a really good stunt double. There were many dangerous scenes which I was not allowed to do.
Kristen: The same applies to me.
Twilight15: Are you good friends?
Rob: Yes, we are really good friends.
I-Love_Twilight: Kristen, do you sing too?
Kristen: No, I don’t.
Alice3: Rob, are you really shy?
Rob: Yes, I am indeed.
Alice3: Have you both read the book?
Rob: Yes, that was the first thing we did.
Mrs_Jenni_Pattinson: Which television show do you like most?
Kristen: I usually don’t watch television.
Rob: I like the English version of “The Office”.
Karey: Would you prefer not to be an actor/actress and live a “normal” life?
Kristen: I love acting but I don’t like being famous.
Rob: I am not really sure yet. The whole fame thing and acting belongs together somehow today. You need some sort of fame in order to get acting jobs – and you get offered more roles too.
sheryn: Did you think you had a chance to get the roles of Bella and Edward?
Kristen: I wasn’t really surprised when I got the role. However, I don’t think I really deserve portraying Bella.
Rob: For me, it was a big surprise – I really wanted the role!
buttel: Which special abilities would you like to have?
Kristen: I would love being able to fly.
Rob: Me too. That would be much cooler than sitting in a plane all the time.
PattyRoberts: Kristen, what will you do on Christmas?
Kristen: I am going to spend time with my family.
Rob: Me too!
Lillia: Do you know when your next visit to Germany will be?
Kristen: Sorry, no I don’t.
MissBella: I would like to know whether Rob is single or if he has a girl.
Rob: I am still single and unfortunately there is no girl in my life.
XxkethexX: Rob, I read you had to wear lipstick during the shooting of Twilight…what did you think about that?
Rob: Yes, that is true and it was very embarrassing. I never understood why they made me wear it.
Moderator: We have to finish here. We'll put up photos soon.

Herald Sun Article

Long article is HERE. I have skipped the parts that are repetition of what we already know :-)

"Once you're becoming the 'hot thing' or whatever, magazines say 'Oh we want to do a feature' and I've just started to say 'No', because as soon as you start putting yourself out there -- especially if you've only really done one American job -- people want to tear you down," he says.

"And I don't want to tempt anybody to want to tear me down."

In trademark self-deprecating fashion, Pattinson can't even cope with praise from his family.

"My parents are always saying 'Oh we're so proud of you' and I'm always like 'Why? It's just luck -- I haven't done anything'," he says.

For Pattinson, who used to sleep on his agent's couch when travelling to LA for auditions, fame does have its benefits.

"It's good for work," he says.

"I've been coming to LA for a few years and when you go to auditions where you know you have done the best audition, but you're not famous enough, you know you're not going to get it, just because of that.

"It's nice when something is commercially viable -- you are on more of a level playing field with other people."
Not so good is being part of the big movie marketing machine, particularly when it comes to studio requests about his trademark hair.

Pattinson, who you get the feeling doesn't like to play by anyone else's rules, nods when asked about rumours the studio demanded he keep his golden-hued quiff out of sight while on the promotional trail.

"And I cut it yesterday," he says.

"It wasn't in the contract, it was just one of those silly things where they said 'Oh people aren't going to like you looking messy', and then as soon as fans start saying 'Oh we like him looking messy', they're like 'You have to look messy all the time'.

"It's annoying. It's all dictated by what they think the fans want, but no one knows what anybody wants."

P ATTINSON says his concerns about being tied to a studio franchise made him consider not signing on for the career-making role, which will likely span three films, with the novel's sequels New Moon and Eclipse.

"I did hesitate, but there were two things that made me go ahead," he says. "I (in character) had to be 17 the whole time so they can't suddenly decide when I'm 28, 'Let's do another one', so the time period was limited.

"Also, I liked what happened to the character in the second one where he's not really in it, but he's this ominous presence and has this dramatic comeback at the end. It's like you wait the whole book for his reappearance.

"I'm barely in the second one and not in the third that much either. Plus I wanted to have a box-set as well."

Gozde: Way to play it down Rob, you are barely in Eclipse? Sure sure....
