And Jack Huston talks to STV:R
Jack Huston has said he doesn’t expect to receive the same crazy amount of attention his co-star Robert Pattinson (pictured) does.
Huston appears in the third movie in the Twilight series, Eclipse, and plays the part of Royce King II, a human who lived during the Great Depression and was engaged to Rosalie (Nikki Reed).
And the actor thinks that he won’t be hounded by fans in the same way as Pattison because his character is “kind of a nasty guy”.
He told E! News: "I don't think I will (get the same attention) because of my part. I'm actually kind of a nasty guy. I'm her fiancé who ends up basically trying to rape her. It's rather horrible."
The actor, who was just recently cast in the part, has only met one cast member so far – his fiancée in the movie, Nikki Reed.
Speaking about his co-star, he said: "She's actually a real sweetie and the very first day she made me feel very welcome. We were away from the madness which is, I think, Robert and Kristen (Stewart).
"I think they have hundreds of incessant fans following them, which, fair enough. We were quite lucky. We were in the park, beautiful, and it was fun... It's a great film to be a part of. This is a small part, but a relevant part in the movie. I think it'll be cool. Hopefully."

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - This "New Moon" is rising early.
Advanced tickets sales for Summit Entertainment's sequel vampire romance "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" are going so well that online ticket vendors are reporting sellouts of the earliest showtimes at many locations. Nine weeks before the film's November 20 release, MovieTickets is reporting more than a dozen "New Moon" performances as complete sellouts.
A Fandango spokesman said "New Moon" represents 57 percent of its recent ticket sales, with sellouts at some locations. By comparison, the coming weekend's anticipated No. 1 picture -- Sony's 3D animated feature "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" -- is the next most popular choice of purchasers at 9 percent of all Fandango sales.
This week MovieTickets asked visitors to its Web site which holiday release they are most anticipating. 3D sci-fi action feature "Avatar" was the choice of 67 percent of respondents. The film unspools on December 18 but also has been selling advance tickets to its earliest showings. Thirty-three percent of respondents said they are most looking forward to "New Moon."
Gozde: Buy your tickets and be there for Robert Pattinson's "Big Opening" ;)
What was the inspiration behind the plot of How to Be? Was it based upon factual events in your life?
I was inspired by observations of the people around me at that time. Lots of peers were a bit lost after leaving university – also an interest in self-help books. I thought what a funny combination – young English guys in existential crisis together with this kind of American self help culture.
How was Robert Pattinson chosen for the role of Art? Did his musical ability play a role in his casting?
We found him after a year and a half’s worth of casting calls. He just seemed the right person for the job. He was interesting to look at – but down to earth enough to play the part. He really seemed to “get it” – he knew people like the characters in the script, and understood the main character ‘ART’. Not having gone through drama school, Rob’s acting and response to direction fit in well with other main cast members who were not trained actors either. Rob actually underplayed his musical ability in the auditions, as he knew the character was meant to be rough around the edges when it comes to musical ability – but it actually was invaluable in the end that he understood the music references and had the technical ability to pull off what we were asking from him.
How much of the film tour’s success do you attribute to Pattinson?
A massive amount – he brought a huge audience to our film which is all you can ask of a lead star. I think also the amount of festivals we had played up until that point and the strength of support from our fans really made it all possible.
Mr. Irving has another project on his plate- a second feature film called Life Is Just a Game. Starring How to Be actors Mike Pearce (Nikki in HTB), Johnny White (Ronny in HTB) and How To Be score composer Joe Hastings, Life Is Just A Game began filming in August in London and New York.
Says Irving,
” It will be great getting those guys together again and Joe is going to compose the score again – as well as play an old Irish-American cop from the 70’s complete with old man prosthetics. It is designed as a kind of pilot for an off the wall TV show which we are going to initially release as online videos to see how much interest we get.”
