Teen Hollywood Talks To Emile DeRavin About Love Scenes With Robert Pattinson And More
From Teen Hollywood
Emilie de Ravin: "Lost" in NYC with Rob!
By Lynn Barker
We love Emilie as Claire on TV's "Lost", especially since she has returned as "wild jungle woman" packing a gun and kicking butt! In the rough romance Remember Me, in which she co-stars with uber-hunk Robert Pattinson, Emilie plays Ally, a young woman who, like Rob's character Tyler, is dealing with profound loss in her life.
TeenHollywood: Okay, obvious question. How did you like working with "the heartthrob"?
Emilie (laughs): Is that his new name? It was great, we get along really well, had a really fun time, also just sort of shared the same amount of passion for this film and everything felt very natural and unforced. On set, we spend a lot of time beforehand and during just going through the lines and talking about the characters and maybe things we hadn’t noticed and talking and developing a relationship, and also just getting to know each other as people, so it was that comfort level too, which I think helps a lot.
On set it didn’t feel ever like we were actually reading a scene, it just felt like we were talking and I was listening to him, and observing and reacting however Ally would, so that was pretty cool and doesn’t really happen a lot.
TeenHollywood: And the love scenes.....?
Emilie: Ah, yes. Me and Zeus (Kate: Now you're just teasing us Emilie! LOL)

Robert Pattinson's "Remember Me" Reviewed By Variety
Spoiler Warning!
Fate sticks its foot out to trip all the characters in all the worst ways in "Remember Me," a grave romantic drama with grandiose thematic intentions. Framed in a portentous manner with a calamitous ending that will only come as a surprise to those who haven't been paying attention, the modestly scaled film delivers some moving and affecting moments amid a preponderance of scenes of frequently annoying people behaving badly. It is precisely the young female fans of star Robert Pattinson who will react most wrenchingly to this doomed romance, which should enjoy a short but sweet B.O. life.
Pattinson is in heavy James Dean mode here as a reckless, unwashed, chain-smoking, intensely confused pretty boy named Tyler who, as Dean did in "East of Eden" and "Rebel Without a Cause," has major father issues. Turning his back, at least for the moment, on his family's wealth -- dad Charles (Pierce Brosnan) is a mighty Wall Street lawyer, while classy mom Diane (Lena Olin) has remarried and is raising precocious 11-year-old artist Caroline (Ruby Jerins) -- Tyler rooms with crude low-life Aidan (Tate Ellington) while occasionally attending NYU classes between drinking bouts.

"Remember Me" Director Talks To ComingSoon.net About "Remember Me" & Robert Pattinson
Coulter's second feature film is Remember Me, a romantic drama set in New York City starring Twilight's Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin ("Lost") as Tyler and Ally, two young people from different worlds who meet under odd circumstances. Both have had great losses in their lives and both are dealing with daddy issues, Tyler with his rich selfish businessman father played by Pierce Brosnan and Ally with her overprotective police detective father, played by Chris Cooper, but somehow they're able to find a middle ground and fall in love.
ComingSoon.net had a chance to sit down with Coulter to talk about his second movie. Unfortunately, there's one aspect of the movie we really wanted to discuss with him, but even knowing about it before seeing the movie really takes away from its impact. Even so, here is what we ended up talking about with the director in our exclusive video interview:
* How he ended up with the script and why he decided to make it his second film
* The fact that the movie's based on an original screenplay rather than adapted from a book
* How hard was it to convince financiers and a studio to back the film
* Getting Robert Pattinson on board and how that helped with financing
* Whether or not he considered casting New York actors for the roles
* How he was surprised to learn Emilie de Ravin was Australian
* How he wanted to approach the movie compared to "Hollywoodland"
* Talking about creating some of the settings for the story
* He talks about his next project, directing an episode of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire"

Robert Pattinson - The Hollywood Reporter Reviews "Remember Me"
Again - spoilers a plenty... read with care!
Bottom Line: A strong romantic drama in which Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin really shine.
"Remember Me" is a smart, engaging drama about young love flourishing amid sadness and loss. The story ends on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York, which, depending on your point of view, further underscores the sense of loss implicit in the movie's title or is an unnecessary dramatic ploy to end the film with a devastating twist of fate that immediately connects with every audience member. But to return to the original point: "Remember Me" is a smart, engaging drama about a romance.
With the "Twilight" franchise's Robert Pattinson topping a fine cast -- the actor executive produces as well -- "Remember Me" should attract strong opening-weekend audiences. However, it will find its legs with women young and old who will spark to a romance without the off-color humor and male boorishness that so often accompanies romantic fare these days. Summit Entertainment can expect above-average boxoffice.
In an opening sequence 10 years earlier, a subway mugging turns violent as the World Trade Center's Twin Towers loom ominously in the distance, a dramatic foreshadowing that fortunately does not continue into the rest of the movie. But it does establish the suddenness of tragedy, especially as it affects two families at the center of the film.
Allen Coulter, directing a script by Will Fetters, then proceeds to unfold a story about two young people who share little in common except an inexplicable tragedy in each of their lives from which neither family has fully recovered.
Tyler (Pattinson) comes from Park Avenue comfort, but his brother's suicide has pulled a rug from underneath him. He is a lost soul, and it's not clear he is going to snap out of his funk anytime soon. His divorced father (Pierce Brosnan) has grown tired of his melancholy and disaffection, but his mother (Lena Olin) still has faith in him.
Tyler has two entirely different sources of succor: his kid sister (Ruby Jerins), whom he adores, and his roommate, Aidan (Tate Ellington), who has enough wild-man spirit to get Tyler out of his routine and into a few parties and bars. By the way, Tyler has a way with women.
Ally (Emilie de Ravin) is from a blue-collar family in Queens. Her father (Chris Cooper), a cop, clearly has not recovered from the murder of his wife. On the surface, Ally is less damaged, but one suspects she simply hides her pain better.
The cop and Tyler have a late-night encounter where Tyler's righteousness comes up violently against the cop's hardened weariness. Then, in the movie's one quasi-contrivance, Aidan discovers that the cop's attractive daughter shares a class with Tyler. He persuades his roomie into romancing then dumping the woman as a way to get back at her father.
Predictably, the first part works but not the second, where he is supposed to dump Ally. Instead, the two fall in love.
The movie doesn't make a big point out of the grief that overshadows their lives. It's implicit in their actions and manner. They bond in many ways, not the least of which are over fathers at a loss to meet their kids' emotional needs.
The scenes between Pattinson and de Ravin exude genuine charm. One wants these two to get together. They are likable without being saccharine.
The fathers are harder to read. In a decade, neither seems to have developed a coping mechanism, and Tyler's father's indifference toward his daughter is inexplicable.
Fate, in the form of 9/11, casts all of these character flaws and shortcomings into bold relief. This is, after all, a film of memory and loss. One imagines that any of these characters might be narrating the story years later as they seek to remember those final moments before their world so utterly changed.
The production is clean and polished, with Marcelo Zarvos' understated though persistent score and Jonathan Freeman's meticulous cinematography bringing notable sparkle to this heartfelt drama.

J-14 Compares Robert Pattinson's Twilight and Remember Me Roles
Cute article... but a couple of spoilers in there - read with care!
5 Reasons Remember Me's Tyler Hawkins Might Be As Lovable as Twilight's Edward Cullen
From the first time my eyes saw the words "Edward Cullen" in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight book, it was love at first read. Every line out of his mouth made my heart melt just a little bit more. (It went as far as me forcing my mom to read the books so she could get to know her "future son-in-law" -- seriously!)
And when Rob Pattinson was cast to play him in the The Twilight Saga films, my obsession for Team Edward spiked to a whole new level. His brooding looks, those little smiles cracking from the corners of his lips, and the beyond romantic ways he did anything and everything.
So when I first saw the trailers for Rob's new film, Remember Me (opening March 12), I was fully aware this was no Edward Cullen. And in all honesty, nothing about the preview made me want to see the film. Sure, I'm a sucker for a coming-of-age tale packed with romance, but he just seemed so unrelatable.
And then I found out the ending. I won't spoil it for you guys, but accidentally finding out how it concluded made me need to see the film... right away. And luckily enough, last Monday after covering the red carpet premiere of the film and chatting with all the cast and crew about it, I was able to see it right away. And W-O-W.
Let's just say, this is one affective film that will stick with you for the rest of your life. But a big part of it is the way that Rob plays the very-human character of Tyler Hawkins.
So I'm officially launching Team Tyler right now... starting with my Top 5 reasons you might just fall in love with Tyler as much as Edward (I won't go as far as saying more than Tyler...yet...)
1- The lamely adorable way he picks up girls -- just wait until you see him work the charm with Ally (Emilie de Ravin).
2- The too-cute way he says, "Abso-freakin'-lutely!" to his little sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins) when she asks if he'll go to her art show.
3- His heart-wrenching relationship with his deceased older brother... so close that the moment he falls in love, he rushes off to write to him about her at their favorite diner.
4- His determination -- he does everything he can to win Ally a gigantic bear at the carnival... and ends up paying for it!
5- The big brother heart that has him carrying a pink sleeping bag, defending her against mean girls, and reading stories about Greek gods to her in bed to make her feel better. Awww!
So get ready to fall in love with another of Rob's characters (I started way back with Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire!) in a whole new way!

New York Post - Can Robert Pattinson carry Remember Me?
I hate that they asked the 'publicist' of Robsessed (The DVD) for their opinion - a quick google search and they could have found those little tidbits themselves! Anywho...
Robert Pattinson: vampire slayer!
With his new role, Robert Pattinson hopes to drive a stake through his teen vamp image. But can he do it on looks alone?
No one can say Robert Pattinson — best known as Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” movies — doesn’t suffer for his craft. While shooting “Remember Me,” his new film out Friday, “RPatz” had a near-brush with death. The actor was so besieged by fans on the film’s Union Square set that, to the chagrin of his five bodyguards, they once shoved him off a curb and into the side of a moving cab.
But his latest turn as a depressed New Yorker in “Remember Me” is providing an even greater trial. His first non-vampire role since the “Twilight” series began is a pivotal moment in his career. Will his total immersion in one of the biggest-grossing film franchises ever be the one thing he’s always associated with, or will it be a stepping stone to a bigger career?
The low-key Brit is loath to talk up his own skills; he’s raised self-deprecation to an art form in his bedheaded, aw-shucks interviews. “I wasn’t an actor-y kid or anything,” Pattinson, 23, has said of his London childhood, where his decision to join the local theater club was a bit of a fluke.

Robert Pattinson - Remember Me Review from CutPrintReview
Another one with spoilers... read with care!
Something unexpected happened around the half hour mark of the ho-hum romantic drama Remember Me. No, the film didn’t start to improve. Don’t be silly. Rather, I realised that leading man Robert Pattinson – or RPattz as his legions of adoring Twilight fans call him – was in the middle of doing something many critics said he wasn’t capable of. Yes, he was acting. And doing a pretty darn good job of it too.
However, aside from allowing Pattinson a chance to flex his acting chops, Remember Me isn’t good for much else. It sits awkwardly between the heavy drama and teen romance genres, and much like a misunderstood teenager, it isn’t sure where it belongs, ultimately alienating itself from both.
With an uncanny resemblance to James Dean, Pattinson portrays angst-ridden Tyler Hawkins, a 21-year-old Brooklyn boy with daddy issues. Still cut from by the loss of his older brother years before, Tyler channels his anger toward his father Charles (Pierce Brosnan), a successful businessman who places family a distant second. After a clash with a jaded police detective (Chris Cooper) lands him in jail for the night, Tyler’s best friend Aidan (Tate Ellington) suggests he enact his revenge by wooing the officer’s daughter Ally (Emilie de Ravin). However, the two find comfort in each other’s company and eventually fall in love, causing Tyler to bury the truth behind their supposed ‘chance’ encounter.
As implied by the film’s tag-line ‘Live Life in the Moment’, screenwriter Will Fetters has scribed a story about appreciating the little things. That’s fine, but did those little things all have to be this mundane? While the dialogue flows naturally, most of the drama in Remember Me lacks any real weight of consequence, haphazardly strung together by director Allen Coulter (Hollywoodland) without much consideration for dramatic tension. If it wasn’t for Marcelo Zarvos’ poignant score, I wouldn’t have known at any given time what emotion I was supposed to be feeling.
With Remember Me predominantly appealing to starry-eyed teenage girls, it doesn’t help that the romance between Tyler and Ally is criminally underwritten. The two barely get a chance to share sob stories before they’re in each other’s pants. I guess when you’re the adored star of Twilight, girls don’t put up much of a fight. Nevertheless, the credibility of their relationship suffers as a result, which seems more interested in giving Pattinson and De Ravin an excuse to show off some skin than develop in any kind of meaningful way.
De Ravin, let down by the two dimensional nature of her character, leaves little impression as Ally, which is a shame because the 28-year-old Lost star has talent. With a far meatier role, Pattinson crafts a likable character out of Tyler, handling each emotional shift far more convincingly than he ever did as Edward in Twilight. He goes head to head with acting veterans Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan and surprisingly comes out on top, proving he’s more than just a pretty face. In fact, the only time he is truly outshone is during his scenes with the tremendously talented 11-year-old actress Ruby Jerins, who plays Tyler’s younger sister Caroline. Their touching relationship is easily the highlight of an otherwise unremarkable film.
And that’s the cruel irony here; Remember Me is totally forgettable. It knows it, too. That’s why it features a shock ending that arrives like a sharp stab in the back, a desperate act to bleed emotion out of the audience in the most shameless of ways. If it is to be remembered, it’ll be for all the wrong reasons.

Robert Pattinson Interview with Australia's Sunday Herald Sun
Again - tiny spoiler at the end of this interview... read with care!
Mum's the word on R-Patz gossip!
AT 23, Robert Pattinson's chosen career is simmering along quite nicely, thank you, with the handsome London actor pulling in an estimated $20 million, give or take a few bucks, last year.
Having kicked into high gear playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) before the hugely successful Twilight series, “R-Patz” (or sometimes even “Spunk Ransom”), as he is known, is the cause of instant hysteria among young women around the world and much innuendo in the gossip pages.
But he is in a relationship with his beautiful Twilight co-star, 19-year-old Kristen Stewart, and both are so in demand that you wouldn’t think they would have time to read anything salacious about themselves.
They don’t, but Pattinson gets reminded of it constantly, nevertheless.
“I still get my mum (Clare) calling me up every single day and questioning me about the gossip stuff,” he says with a slight shake of his head and a smile.
“I don’t like people I know reading that stuff about me because it kind of distorts everything. You’re inevitably going to find something bad eventually and I don’t want to be having to do PR to my family.”
Other than that, Pattinson’s sudden surge of fame through his vampire character, Edward Cullen, in the Twilight movie franchise has not overwhelmed him.
“My family has dealt with it really well,” he says. “I mean, they’re pretty untouched by it. My sisters (Victoria and chart-topping singer-songwriter Lizzy) are fine. They occasionally get their Facebook (pages) hacked into and stuff, but that’s the only downside.
“I’ve just been working in England and it’s the polar opposite to working in America. There’s no-one around the set and it is wholly different working there, so I’ve been getting to know what a normal life is like again.
“People are very different about it in London. If they do recognise me they’re embarrassed to say something and you can go into so many areas where people have no idea who you are.
“In London the other night I went out to have dinner in some pub somewhere and the barmaid had this whole conversation saying, ‘You look just like that guy from Twilight’. I was astonished because every time she came up she was like, ‘You literally could be his brother’ and she never put two and two together.”
But while Pattinson relishes his relative anonymity in England - in the US and elsewhere he inevitably draws a crowd - he sometimes struggles with whether or not he should just sweep fame up in his arms and embrace it.
“I’m wondering whether I’m holding on to something I should be letting go of by not changing anything,” he says.
“But, you know, I don’t particularly feel any different and I think because I’ve gone from job to job to job it means you stay in this sort of netherworld, so I feel relatively untouched.
“It’s kind of like accepting that you’re famous or just staying blind to it. I’m sort of wondering whether that’s the right way to go about things and whether it stops you growing as a person if you do that, but I don’t really know yet.”
He had one brief lesson in handling fame from Pierce Brosnan, who plays his father in the new film Remember Me, when the two went out to dinner together in New York.
“Some people were looking over,” Pattinson says. “They didn’t know who I was but they knew him, obviously. He went up to them and introduced himself and asked how their evening was going.
“At the time I was thinking like, 'What are you doing?’ but it worked fantastically because no-one treated him like he was a sideshow attraction any more and I’m sure those people went home and said what a nice guy he was.
“I don’t really have the confidence to do that yet, but it works better than my method, which is just hiding under the table or leaving immediately if anyone looks around.”
Pattinson’s box office appeal has reached such a high point now that he is a producer on Remember Me, with input to deliberations on matters such as casting with fellow producer Nick Osborne and director Alan Coulter, who is mainly known for TV (The Sopranos, Sex and the City) but also did the movie Hollywoodland (2006), starring Ben Affleck.
“But I’m such a novice at all this,” Pattinson says. “At the end of the day it’s the director’s decision about casting.”
Apart from Brosnan, the movie stars Academy Award winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation, 2002), Oscar nominee Lena Olin (Enemies: A Love Story, 1989) and Australian Emilie de Raven, one of the stars of the TV series Lost.
“I read with a bunch of girls and I watched all the tapes - which is unheard of, normally, for an actor to watch the audition tapes - and that was interesting and a kind of incredible thing to be allowed to do,” Pattinson says.
“Emilie was the best out of all of them and Alan thought she was way, way best before I had even met her, so that was lucky.
“She was great to work with. She is not ‘actressy’ at all, totally unpretentious, and she’s got a lot of spunk and fire in her.”
Set in New York, Remember Me stars Pattinson as Tyler, a rebellious young man who, since the suicide of his older brother, has had a troubled relationship with his father.
Soon after taking a beating at the hands of a police officer (Cooper), Tyler meets college student Ally (de Ravin), who he later discovers is the police officer’s daughter.
Tyler and Ally, however, become soul-mates and are happy, but then their relationship is suddenly threatened.
“As soon as I read the script I just sort of related to it in a fundamental way, right from the beginning,” Pattinson says.
“I don’t know why. But I just felt very connected to it the first time I read it and as all the rewrites happened and everything about it changed, I still always felt like everything about it was very true.
“It seemed like it was written for a reason.”
Maybe just to make Robert Pattinson even more famous.

“At the time I was thinking like, 'What are you doing?’ but it worked fantastically because no-one treated him like he was a sideshow attraction any more and I’m sure those people went home and said what a nice guy he was.
“I don’t really have the confidence to do that yet, but it works better than my method, which is just hiding under the table or leaving immediately if anyone looks around.”
Pattinson’s box office appeal has reached such a high point now that he is a producer on Remember Me, with input to deliberations on matters such as casting with fellow producer Nick Osborne and director Alan Coulter, who is mainly known for TV (The Sopranos, Sex and the City) but also did the movie Hollywoodland (2006), starring Ben Affleck.
“But I’m such a novice at all this,” Pattinson says. “At the end of the day it’s the director’s decision about casting.”
Apart from Brosnan, the movie stars Academy Award winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation, 2002), Oscar nominee Lena Olin (Enemies: A Love Story, 1989) and Australian Emilie de Raven, one of the stars of the TV series Lost.
“I read with a bunch of girls and I watched all the tapes - which is unheard of, normally, for an actor to watch the audition tapes - and that was interesting and a kind of incredible thing to be allowed to do,” Pattinson says.
“Emilie was the best out of all of them and Alan thought she was way, way best before I had even met her, so that was lucky.
“She was great to work with. She is not ‘actressy’ at all, totally unpretentious, and she’s got a lot of spunk and fire in her.”
Set in New York, Remember Me stars Pattinson as Tyler, a rebellious young man who, since the suicide of his older brother, has had a troubled relationship with his father.
Soon after taking a beating at the hands of a police officer (Cooper), Tyler meets college student Ally (de Ravin), who he later discovers is the police officer’s daughter.
Tyler and Ally, however, become soul-mates and are happy, but then their relationship is suddenly threatened.
“As soon as I read the script I just sort of related to it in a fundamental way, right from the beginning,” Pattinson says.
“I don’t know why. But I just felt very connected to it the first time I read it and as all the rewrites happened and everything about it changed, I still always felt like everything about it was very true.
“It seemed like it was written for a reason.”
Maybe just to make Robert Pattinson even more famous.

Robert Pattinson - The Blurb reviews Remember Me
If you're wanting to stay spoiler free - please skip this thread (after checking out The Pretty picture of course)
At last - an intelligent romantic drama
You have to give credit to a film which starts powerfully and grabs you by the eyeballs. That's certainly the case here. A dramatic sequence with striking camera angles and lighting makes an instant impression and sets the mood for this gritty romance about two dysfunctional families. Aided by strong acting and an intelligent script, Remember Me is a cut above most romantic films.
Tyler Hawkins (Robert Pattinson) a rebel looking for a cause has a difficult relationship with his estranged high flying father (Pierce Brosnan). Street-hardened cop Sgt. Neil Craig’s (Chris Cooper) wife was shot dead by hoodlums in front of his young daughter ten years previously. Craig in recent times has become over protective.
When Tyler and his best mate Aidan (Tate Ellington) get involved in a street brawl they’re arrested by Craig. By coincidence, Craigs’s daughter Ally (Emilie de Ravin) attends the same college as Tyler and he’s encouraged by Aidan to make out with her in order to get back at the rough handling he experienced from her dad. In a sub-plot, Tyler’s young sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins), something of a romantic dreamer, is set upon at a party. Tyler is outraged by this and his father’s apparent indifference to Caroline’s success as a budding artist.
Tyler and Ally actually fall in love but their happiness is short-lived as family pressures and secrets create an untenable situation threatening their relationship. Things are suddenly brought to a head in an unexpected and devastating conclusion; the moral being to make the most of every day.
Director Allen Coulter, whose previous feature was Hollywoodland as well as episodes of The Sopranos, lovingly crafts a picture of New York at in important time in its history. He’s clearly comfortable with his actors and gains excellent performances. Credit must go to Will Fetters’ script with its layers of meaning and convincing dialogue. Cinematography makes use of colour to suit the mood, with impressive camerawork.
At the risk of getting abusive mail, I have to confess I’m not a great fan of Robert Pattinson (Twilight) in his limp vampire outings. He’s on his mettle here, with a touch of the young Marlon Brando and a sense of being real. You should applaud a good performance as this one deserves. His intimate scenes with the curvaceous Emilie de Ravin (Public Enemies) have that elusive electric tingle, their lovemaking captured sympathetically rather than bordering on the pornographic. The shower sequence is a good example. They make one of the screen’s more pleasing romantic couplings.
Chris Cooper (The Kingdom) puts in a sensitive performance with depth as the tough but heartbroken cop. This reliable actor seems to fall into roles that suit him. It’s good to see Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia!) in serious mode for a change, doing much to confirm his status as a fine actor. A surprise packet is young Ruby Jerins (Shutter Island) as Caroline, she’s just a charmer and steals her scenes right out from under her co-stars. Tate Ellington (The Invention of Lying) provides a level of comic relief as Tyler's close friend, while Lena Olin (The Reader) emotionally captures his grieving mother who lost her other son to suicide.
Remember Me may remembered after other romantic movies are forgotten for its compelling performances and intriguing script. It certainly surprised this reviewer, as I was expecting much less. Be warned - the shock twist at the end is a gut punch.

Robert Pattinson on Piers Morgan's '100 British Celebrities that Really Matter' List
There are thousands of 'celebrities' in Britain. By which I mean there are a lot of famous people. Many of whom have absolutely no right to be.
Whole shoals of Z-list wannabes, scrabbling for their 15 minutes of recognition on increasingly degrading reality-TV shows, desperate for fame of any kind.
So it's time to sort the chaff from the wheat, and resolve once and for all who really counts in the world of celebrity in this country.
6 ROBERT PATTINSON
This is quite a simple one. Pattinson's the handsome young star of the Twilight films, beloved of teenage girls and other moody types. That fact makes him a nailed-down cert to be the most sought-after British movie star of 2010.
And that, in turn, makes him 'matter'. The only problem for Pattinson is that, as my grandmother always likes to say, 'One day you're the cock of the walk, the next you're a feather duster.' And nowhere is that more true than in good old Tinseltown. So I wish him well, but urge him to watch his back.
And not just because of the millions of girls all over the world who'd like to attach themselves to his shapely shoulders as a matter of urgency.

Robert Pattinson: “Bel Ami” Weekend Worker
Getting an early start to his day, Robert Pattinson was spotted on the set of “Bel Ami” in London, England on Saturday (March 6).
The “Twilight” stud looked focused as he walked around set, coffee mug in hand, filming scene after scene of the Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod helmed project
In other news, Pattinson recently opened up about “Remember Me” co-star Emilie De Ravin, telling, “She was great to work with. She is not ‘actressy’ at all, totally unpretentious, and she’s got a lot of spunk and fire in her.”
Of the film, he says, “As soon as I read the script, I related to it in a fundamental way, right from the beginning. It seemed like it was written for a reason.”

Robert Pattinson in Kent for Movie Orgy Shoot
I think my brain just exploded...or maybe it was just my uterus...
From Kent News UK:
KENT NEWS: The trustees of an old pump house which is being used to film a steamy orgy scene with Twilight heart-throb Robert Pattinson said they had no idea the shoot would be so raunchy, writes Chris Murphy.
Film company Redwave Films is taking over the Crossness pumping station in Erith for three days of filming next week.
Pattinson is starring in Bel Ami, and plays lothario reporter Georges Duroy who sleeps his way to the top of the business and seduces wealthy women.
Kill Bill star Uma Thurman is also on the cast list, as his wife, in the film based on the classic novel by Guy de Maupassant.
And Christina Ricci stars as Clotilde de Marelle, alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, both of whom fall under his spell. The crew have been on site for 10 days preparing the sets and will spend three days taking it all down again.
The orgy scene will take place in a Parisian café being created in the Victorian landmark that will be open to the public later this year.
Pattinson, 23, who has also starred in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, said: “There is a lot of sex.”
He told movie bible Variety: “It’s a totally amoral character. In Paris, everybody was just going nuts.
It was like the 1980s. Sex was a kind of a weapon and a tool, and it’s odd.” Of the sex scenes, he said “there’s something very mercenary about it in a lot of ways”.
The station was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1865 and is undergoing renovation helped by lottery funding, government money and £20,000 from the film company.
The station was built to pump London’s sewage into a reservoir before it was discharged into the Thames at high tide.
The station houses the largest rotative beam engines in the world, built by James Watt and Sons, but these will be covered up by the film set.
Both the building and the cast-iron machinery are being restored to their former glory by the Crossness Engines Trust and the station is open to the public by appointment before its general opening this year.
Pump station trustee Mike Jones had no idea there was going to be a romp on site.
He said: “I am on the set for one of the days, so that should be interesting. It is so cold in here I can’t think anyone would want to perform something like that.
“I’m sure it will all be done in the best possible taste. I’d no idea what they were going to film, only that it was a Parisian café.”
The station is being transformed into a 19th century French dining room to shoot the scene.
One source said: “It will be tastefully done with lots of candlelight and lace, but it will be the sexiest thing Robert’s ever been seen in and will get his female fans even more excited.”
A spokesman for the film said: “It will be really great fun filming in Kent. This is a great location.”
The movie is due out next year.
Thanks to Laura for the tip :)

Fan Videos of Robert Pattinson in New York
Stephen Moyer and Robert Pattinson Have a Lot in Common
Stephen Moyer and Robert Pattinson have a lot in common. They are both British but play American vampires that try to stay away from human blood and fall in love with human girls. Robert Pattinson auditioned for a part in True Blood but didn't get it. And apparently they are both subject to the line:"Bite me!" :)
At 3:43:
He mentions Rob and does an amazing American teenage girl impression at 1:15 :) I think he was meant to play a teenage girl, it's spot on, much better than the constipated "Sookie!" line he delivers on True Blood
... Just kidding about the constipated part Stephen! Your Bill Compton is more likable than the book Bill :) #TeamEricAllTheWay

Robert Pattinson's Tyler is Nothing Like Edward
Our friend Maria Lindholm from ELLE Sweden went to a pre-screening of Remember Me and wrote a little bit about if for "The Robsessed":
I saw Remember me yesterday, actually with low expectations – neither the trailer nor the pre-released clips had me convinced. But now I´m very happy – Rob definitely CAN act. The cast is strong, as many have said, little Ruby Jerins is very good and Rob/Tyler's best friend Aidan/Tate Ellington have not received enough praise – he is very funny and brings a lot to the film. Tyler is nothing like Twilight's Edward, Tyler is cynical, angry, violent, doesn´t back out of fights (or sex, thank you very much) but still very caring. Everyone who likes Rob Pattinson will LOVE this movie – but I think I can safely say it goes beyond Twilight fandom as a truly lovely little film about family, loss, friendship and the fact that you should love as much as you can when you have it. Love is never insignificant.
Thank you Maria! You can leave her some love on her blog ;)
