Four years ago Robert Pattinson's vignette in Vanity Fair hit the cutting room floor. Now he's set to become one of the actors of the decade, taking the lead in the phenomenally successful vampire love flick, Twilight, and playing Cedric Diggory in the upcoming Harry Potter. It's all happened so fast, he tells Donald Clarke

HERE IS a sad story. Four years ago, Robert Pattinson, then just 18, secured a role in Mira Nair's lavish adaptation of Vanity Fair. When the night came for the premiere, he slapped down his unruly hair, polished his shoes and stepped out proudly for Leicester Square.

"It was my first real job," he says with a wry smile. "I went along to the premiere, but nobody had told me that I had been cut out. I didn't realise until the film ended." Happily, the story has a jolly coda.

"The casting agent was the same one who did Harry Potter. They felt so bad about it they gave me an early meeting for the next Harry Potter film. And that went well." Indeed it did. As 2009 looms, 22-year-old Robert Pattinson finds himself teetering on the brink of full-blown stardom. That meeting with the Harry Potter people went so smoothly that he secured the role of Cedric Diggory - doomed rival of the hero at the Triwizard Tournament - in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The odd TV job and the occasional independent film followed. Then, early this year, he secured the role of Edward Cullen, teenage vampire, in the film version of Stephenie Meyer's hugely popular Twilight.

"I didn't even know there was a book series of that name," he says.

"This vampire love story thing? I had zero idea about it. It all came out of nowhere. Then they said the books had sold 25 million. I thought: 'is that a lot, 25 million worldwide?' I really didn't know."

It certainly is a lot. The Twilight books - four volumes so far - have generated a movement that strains definitions of the word "cult". Most likely, you either love Meyer's books, in which a sensitive teenager falls in with a cadre of morally upright vampires, or you have never heard of them. Unsurprisingly, Twilight fans have cornered a substantial sector of the internet for their own use. Every announcement from the studio was examined for evidence that the film-makers were daring to deviate from the sacred text.

Catherine Hardwicke, director of Thirteen and The Nativity Story, both films about teenage trauma, was signed up for megaphone duties. Kristen Stewart, rising star of Panic Room and What Just Happened, would play the sensitive heroine Bella Swan. There were rumblings at both announcements, but the news that some posh English bloke had secured the role of dishy, distant Edward unleashed a veritable tsunami of whingeing.

Was Robert unwise enough to pay attention? "I did a little bit and that was a bad idea. I won't make that mistake again," he says. "There was just universal disagreement with the decision. I suppose it was quite funny. That was my first real experience of Twilight mania. Seventy-five thousand people signed this petition saying the part should be recast. Seventy-five thousand! I do think it's funny now." When Meyers herself endorsed Pattinson, the temperature warmed somewhat.

"Whatever Stephenie says goes, I think," he says.

Most of the few wavering dissenters were won over when the film opened in the United States three weeks ago. A canny blend of gothic romance and loose-limbed naturalism, Twilight took in $7 million on midnight screenings alone. It went on to gather $70 million on its first weekend and secure the record for the biggest ever opening by a female director.

"I did Jay Leno the other day and he asked how it's been for the last few months," he says. "I had to say that it didn't explode until the previous five days. It was that fast. The other day I went in to buy a bagel in this place I normally go. There were four magazines with me on the cover. One said I was heading for a breakdown. Then I'm on Leno, looking at his iconic face. It is so weird."

Next Big Things come alone quite frequently. But I would be astonished if Robert Pattinson did not go on to become one of the most conspicuous film stars of the next decade. Fiendishly charismatic with narrow eyes and hair that obeys its own defiant rules, he combines the looks of an archetypal movie rebel with a striking intelligence that should, all being well, keep him out of the usual Hollywood catastrophes.

There were, he tells me, no actors "in his gene pool". Raised in London, the son of a businessman who imported vintage cars and a mother who worked for a modelling agency, Pattinson dabbled a little in drama as a teenager, but, when the time came to apply for university, still depressed by the Vanity Fair experience, he decided to study political science. Before he had time to fill out the form, however, he had secured the role in Harry Potter.

Pattinson walks through Twilight with the aspect of a man who is embarrassed by his own mighty power: he can fly, read minds and stop speeding motorcars. He adopts the same dazed look when considering the unusual position in which he now finds himself. He doesn't even know where he lives these days.

"I really can't answer that question," he says. "I get mail at three different addresses. I used to have a nice, tiny apartment in Soho and I miss not living out of a suitcase. But I wouldn't say I really want to put down roots either."

When Robert Pattinson was asked about his favourite films recently, he produced a list that included work by Bernard Rose and Jean-Luc Godard.

So, he's no fool. He must have some insights into the causes of the Twilight phenomenon. What's the series about? Burgeoning sexuality? The end of childhood? Some conservative critics have noted Edward's reluctance to become intimate with Bella - he's afraid he will chew on her flesh - and have decided the film is an argument for sexual abstinence.

"I don't know. That's hard to answer," he says. "Yeah. A lot of people point out that Stephenie's a Mormon and say the story must be about abstinence. I don't really think the film is about anything but itself. She didn't write the book for anybody else. She had a dream and wanted to write about the characters in that dream."

The story does seem to say something to teenage girls in particular.

"That's right. There is a clan mentality in young girls and that accelerated it. You go to a school and ask who's read the book and they all compete to say they have. That really drives success."

At any rate, the galloping popularity of the film version has ensured that adaptations of the other three books will follow. Pattinson looks set to have his life disrupted for some time to come. How will he manage to sustain friendships and romantic relationships?

"Well, I have been skipping off around the world for ages," he says. "And I have somehow managed to keep the same friends throughout all that time. We all do things where we are leaving home for ages. That's par for the course. But I never have much of a social life anyway."

It sounds as if he is ideally suited to the vampire lifestyle.

New Moon- We have a director!

It's a boy!

Chris Weitz to direct 'New Moon'

Here is what the EW.com had to report about the next installment in the Twilight series.

There will be a new director atop the Twilight franchise: and he'll be a man. Sources tell EW.com that Summit Entertainment is about to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon, the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling Twilight series. Weitz is best-known for his work with his brother Paul. The two directed and produced American Pie and then were nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay for About a Boy, which they also co-directed. Chris' first solo directing gig, The Golden Compass, didn't do well stateside but was a hit internationally.

Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, has grossed more than $141 million so far, but Hardwicke had clashed with the studio during production. It was announced early this week that she would not be making New Moon. Weitz has a solid relationship with Summit's top brass; he's considered easy to work with and has experience with special effects. "He's the quality-of-life-choice," says one source. While Summit insists "we have not yet signed Chris Weitz to do New Moon," and Weitz's agency says no deal has been signed, other sources say the deal is imminent, and that Summit has stopped negotiations with other potential Moon directors. Summit had planned to announce this hiring decision on Sunday, Dec. 14, and could have Weitz in Vancouver, B.C. as early as Monday to start pre-production on the film.

MTV 'Parts Per Billion' Article

Rosario Dawson talks to MTV about costar Rob and their upcoming film 'Parts Per Billion'

Robert Pattinson Sure, we’ve devoted ample time to “Little Ashes” and “How to Be,” two long-ago-wrapped indie films that should hit theaters in 2009, marking Robert Pattinson’s first appearances after his “Twilight” breakthrough. But now all eyes are on “Parts Per Billion,” the first film that the 22-year-old leading man will shoot as a certified star.

“It’s an ensemble story,” explained Rosario Dawson, who will also appear in the film alongside Olivia Thirlby and Dennis Hopper when it begins shooting next month. “[The script features several] different storylines that are going on.”

Directed by newcomer Brian Horiuchi, “Billion” tells the story of three couples (including Pattinson and Thirlby) dealing with the same reality-shaking event that threatens to tear them apart. Pattinson will shoot “Billion” before he reports for duty on the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon,” and the film is expected to be released in late 2009/early 2010.

“I don’t have a relationship to him in the film,” Dawson said of RPattz. “So we never meet. But we’re all within the same group of people, and the same city of people, that are responding to a life-threatening situation.”

The “Sin City” and “Clerks II” star (who will next be seen in the Will Smith drama “Seven Pounds”), also revealed to us that she’s been keeping a close eye on the “Twilight” phenomenon – and her future co-star – as both have spent the last few weeks running amok on the world of pop culture. “I haven’t met him yet, but I’m really looking forward to it,” she explained, adding another reason why she’s a newly-minted “Twilight” fan herself: “Catherine Hardwicke is someone I really adore, and have been casual friends with over the years.”

Out of “Little Ashes,” “How to Be” and “Parts Per Billion,” which Spunk Ransom film are you most eager to see?

Robert & Kristen bei BRAVO.de: Der Chatlog!

Pictures are from a German blog site who interviewed Rob and K Stew recently while they were in Germany for Twilight promo.

Love the candids, but for the love of all things holy and unearthly good looking Rob needs a jacket that fits with longer sleeves.

You can see the interview from this site translated in an earlier post HERE.

Catherine Hardwick talks Twilight DVD-updated

CH recently sat down with MTV and discussed what will be featured on the Twilight DVD. More Rob???
yes I think so...more biting...you bet your ass!

"We just did the commentary," Hardwicke grinned when she came to visit our studio right after "Twilight" opened, revealing that she had spent time in an audio booth with stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart that very morning. "We were like, 'Is this the lamest commentary ever?' We were just laughing! I was thinking, 'Should we do something really serious with myself and the stunt guy and special-effects people and show aspiring filmmakers how we did those special effects?' But nope. We did the giggle version. [Rob and Kristen were] remembering the funny stuff that happened and the crazy stuff. They make fun of how they look in the movie."

Asked when the disc will arrive in stores, Hardwicke said, "I think spring. Maybe right after Valentine's Day." She then added even more information to the details she gave us about the DVD last month. "We have 10 deleted or extended scenes. There's some juicy stuff in there," she said, adding that one would correct an omission spotted by many Meyer fans. "I think in one of them, [Edward and Bella] do say, 'I love you.' (Dani's note-YAY!!! Finally the one thing I have been missing!)

"There's a few crazy montages we made of every time someone gets bitten by a vampire that we didn't show in the movie. There's a lot more vampire biting," she said of the more violent material held back to get "Twilight" its PG-13 rating.

A second montage will focus on the movie's undead moments. "There is the very sexy vampire biting — that is not in the movie," Hardwicke said of the bonus feature. "There's [Rob biting Kristen in the dream sequence], and then there's the nomadic vampires attacking. We have that in there too."

As for other notable moments, Hardwicke said: "There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. We had a great guy, Jeff, who was [filming us] every day. He did some very creative interviews, so you can see us making almost every scene in the movie, which is kind of fun. I actually learned a few things I didn't even know, listening to other people's interviews!

As for the other deleted scenes, "There are some scenes that are longer, and some scenes that we don't have in the movie," Hardwicke explained. "There's one scene that's not in the film where Rob and Kristen are walking alone, and he trips her and they fall back into these leaves, and then he takes a bite of her finger. ... It's Kristen's favorite scene." (Dani's note: K Stew mentioned this scene at Comicon where she improvised with Rob...asking him if he "wanted a taste"...I am so looking forward to this scene.)

'Twilight' sequel: New details on 'New Moon'

Dec 10, 2008, 01:00 PM | by Nicole Sperling

Categories: Movie Biz

Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit's aggressive production schedule turned her off. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities."

Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit’s production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight’s record-busting first weekend, “There is that first...script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn’t happened yet.” Two weeks later, Summit is saying it’s happy with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s progress.

Another of Hardwicke’s primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon’s middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, “You have to get the chemistry as strong between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do something with that arc: She’s in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn’t work.”

With or without Hardwicke, Summit faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn’t want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner (pictured) as Jacob, though Lautner’s agent has apparently reached out to the imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won’t make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There’s also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob’s werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before settling on Lautner, who isn’t completely Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere.

So what director would want to take on such a big headache? Well, at press time, an offer was out to Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), who put Summit on the map years ago when its foreign sales operation made tons of cash off of his first film, American Pie. (One source says Weitz has already had conversations with below-the-line crew for New Moon.) “We are in a recession,” reminds one Hollywood insider. “It’s a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie.” Adds an exec at another studio, “You’d have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate money to walk off this sequel.”

Gozde: This article is very scary! I hope they don't mess New Moon up :(

Kristen Stewart talks about Rob Part Deux

Kristen gave an interview to the Australian magazine AdelaideNow. You can read the whole thing HERE, the parts about Rob are below. Thanks to Jan for sending us the link.

Skipped first part....

The man of whom she is speaking is co-star Robert Pattinson, a Brit whose striking good looks and portrayal of undead heart-throb Edward Cullen have earned him the adulation, and hysteria, of teenage girls around the world.

The hysteria became frighteningly apparent to Stewart during promotional appearances ahead of the film's release, with thousands of teenage fans turning out to meet, well, mainly Pattinson.

"Some are rabid and just look at me with disdain," she says.

"I remember we did a signing at a bookstore and, after being there a couple of hours, we had to leave, but there was still this wall of people waiting to get Rob's autograph.

"I saw people looking at Rob and the prospect of not getting to meet him after waiting for so long, they just wanted to die. It was scary. I thought: 'If we leave, there is going to be a riot'."

Stewart first met Pattinson at director Catherine Hardwicke's Los Angeles home to see if they had on-screen chemistry and was immediately hooked on her leading man.

"He's a good actor and has a really insane work ethic. He is really sensitive. He's perfect. He's my perfect Edward."

Not surprisingly, reports hinted at an on-set romance between Pattinson, 22, and Stewart, then 17, during the shoot in the Oregon wilds. Their off-screen chemistry was enough to concern Hardwicke, who revealed she was worried the duo's obvious closeness would mean the end of Stewart's relationship with her boyfriend of five years, actor Mike Angarano.

Angarano is a close friend of Hardwicke's since she directed him in 2005's Lords of Dogtown.

Stewart takes a breath and looks at the floor when told of Hardwicke's comment.

"We were fine. I have not left my boyfriend for Robert Pattinson," she says quietly.

"But we went through a lot together. It is crazy to go through something that heavy in real life. At the end of it you are inevitably going to have something.

"I know a version of him better than anybody else in the world because I did this movie with him."

And they will do more. Both have signed contracts to appear in at least two Twilight sequels.

While stardom does not excite Stewart, the idea of being in a film franchise does.

"I would love to follow the character for that long. It would be an experience that I've never had before. I'm low-profile and I know everybody's like 'well, wait until the movie comes out', but it (fame) still doesn't really matter.

"You pull that to you. If you want that, you will get it. But if you don't want it, you will repel it at least a little bit.

"Sure, Twilight is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing - which is weird little movies that nobody sees."

For now, Stewart is looking forward to working unhindered by child actor laws, which limited the amount of time she was on set, meaning her co-stars on Twilight often had to do their scenes without her there.

"I will do better work now because of it," she says. "They're doing it to protect you, but you feel as if you are being deprived of something. I was 17 and I hated it."

Kristen Stewart talks about Rob

Thanks to Phoebe for sending this one in :-) It's from the Australian magazine girlfriend.

In Twilight you work with Robert Pattinson who plays a character described as "the most beautiful guy in the world." Do you agree?

I find Rob to be a beautiful man. Objectively speaking (laughs). He has a beautiful soul too.

Is it true Rob is quite shy?

Yeah, a little bit. He's very unassuming. He’s so tall and imposing, but very sweet. It's funny to see Rob playing the most beautiful guy on the planet because he is such a down-to-earth person. He's not pretty, that's the thing. He's not delicate looking. He's very strong looking. Put it this way, he's not the sort of guy who would go home and stare at a mirror.

Is Rob the kind of guy you would usually like to date?

Rob? Ummmm, I don't really have a specific guy.

What's a trait that a guy has to have for you to be interested in him?

I like a guy who looks like they're thinking about something. Rob is definitely that type of guy. I'm always like, "What are you thinking about?"
