Robert Pattinson Daily

I am so hyped up for this movie! I know it's going to be great. I hope it does well on the Box Office. 'Remember Me' didn't do so well and people are already calling Rob a flop etc etc. So this movie really needs to do well. Hopefully!

NY1 Interviews Robert Pattinson on his new movie 'Remember Me'!

Overnight Robert Pat­tin­son became an inter­na­tional star thanks to the role of Edward in the Twi­light Saga. The story of love between a vam­pire and a reg­u­lar girl cap­tured hearts of peo­ple all over the world. We met up with him in New York where he attended the pre­miere of his new movie ‘Remem­ber Me’.

You must be really happy that with that movie you can change your pub­lic image a bit, you smoke and drink all the time in it, get into fist fights, you’re no longer just that ‘pretty boy’.

Yeah, that’s one of the things that I liked the most about that movie. After the first fight, no one even thought about that ear­lier, I have mas­sive cuts and bruises all over my face and they stay for the dura­tion of almost the whole movie. It’s an inter­est­ing romance, just imag­ine that some­one is try­ing to hit on you look­ing like that [so unat­trac­tive]. In the scene when I meet Ally for the first time, when I was read­ing the script I didn’t real­ize that my whole face is going to be bruised, I mean imag­ine a guy try­ing to impress a girl hav­ing a black eye [every­thing is writ­ten on his face] yeah. It was a cool scene.

Do you pre­fer real­is­tic movies like that one, or maybe the fan­tasy world like Twilight?

I don’t know. That script seemed just very hon­est and real, you don’t get some­thing like that too often, but some­times, real­ity can be just incred­i­bly bor­ing and fan­tasy is just more fun to play. But in that script there was just some­thing very spe­cial, I’ve never seen a movie like that. Gen­er­ally though, I don’t have any spe­cial preferences.

Are you kind of tired of fame because of all the chaos that hap­pened after Twi­light, are you both­ered by the whole inter­est? Does it make your life very difficult?

Some­times. I mean, like when I’m in New York and I can’t go out at all. [Or any­where in the world prob­a­bly] Some places, in some places it’s eas­ier, there are places where people’ve never heard of Twi­light [well don’t come to Poland then] Oh yeah? They’re big fans? [oh yeah, they all know you]. It can be very frus­trat­ing, but there’s always some way around it, if you plan ahead you can have a sem­blance of a nor­mal life. [Yeah, but in nor­mal life there’s no need for spe­cial plan­ning] I mean I think it pays off, I hate when I go out for din­ner and there’s a whole crowd of peo­ple out­side, and even if I just know that that crowd is there, I just can’t enjoy what­ever I’m doing [because you know what’s going to hap­pen after you leave] Yeah, and so I have to plan to be able to avoid that. But then again there are sit­u­a­tions when the crowds of fans are great, like this morn­ing, when I went to the Today Show. It’s such a sur­real, strange thing, I mean, I’m just 23 and it’s already so mas­sive, it’s like a turn­ing point in my life.

There’s going to be more films in the series so it’s prob­a­bly just going to be esca­lat­ing and last for few more years.

I don’t know how it can really esca­late more, there’s nowhere it can really go [we’ll maybe meet in a year or two and you’ll tell me if it hap­pened] yeah. Just before Christ­mas I was in Munich, I was at a sta­dium and there was 20 000 peo­ple there [scream­ing your name] yeah, and I didn’t even do any­thing, I just said ‘Hi’ and that’s it, it’s com­pletely sur­real, there’s no other word for it.

You must be happy that your career is going the way it is?

Def­i­nitely. There weren’t any bad sides, I mean, I can do movies that I really want to do now [you have a choice and that’s the most impor­tant thing for an actor] yeah, it’s amaz­ing. I mean, there’s a bit more pres­sure on you and what jobs you do, but gen­er­ally it’s great. And I hope that for the next few years I’m just going to have great fun.

IS IT JUST US OR IS EDWARD WAY MORE CASUALLY DRESSED THAN HE WAS IN "NEW MOON"?

"Rob only wore the suit in the last film because of a continuity theme," the costume designer explained. "He wore it for Bella's party, and then he never changed. In 'Eclipse,' he is back at school, and dressing generally, more casual and more relaxed."

As seen above from the gray tee shirt (most like from Banana Republic or GAP), the major color palate for Edward and his family, however, has not been changed: "The whole 'cool' color theme is being continued with 'Eclipse' for the Cullen Clan."

While it might have initially seemed like Robert Pattinson's latest movie, 'Remember Me,' would be generating controversy and debate over whether it proves that the 'Twilight' star has real acting chops, it has actually caused a big stir among critics and audiences because of its incredibly dramatic (and some feel overwrought) final minutes.

Its big twist seems to be overshadowing the rest of the picture for some and is undoubtedly drawing attention away from the fact that, despite its low 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film features solid performances from Pattinson and co-star Emilie de Ravin ('Lost').

(SPOILER ALERT! If you have not seen the film and do not want to know the ending, read no further as the climax is revealed and discussed in detail below.)

In the film, Pattinson plays Tyler, a troubled NYU student who lives in a grungy Manhattan apartment despite coming from an affluent home. He is coping with the loss of his older brother, who committed suicide, and when he meets a fellow student named Ally (de Ravin), who saw her mother gunned down by a mugger when she was 5, he finds an equally damaged soulmate. The two both have family issues to contend with -- her overprotective cop father (Chris Cooper), his emotionally estranged lawyer father (Pierce Brosnan) -- as well as the fact Tyler dated Ally initially on a mean-spirited dare from an obnoxious friend (which blows up in his face when he actually falls for her).

By the climax of the film, a lot of family bonding has ensued, and the two lovers have started to heal the rift between them. Then, when Tyler is waiting for his father in his law office (on their own way to making amends), we see him looking out of the window, hopefully. The camera cranes back, and we see that Tyler's standing in one of The World Trade Center's Twin Towers. It's then spelled out -- literally, on a chalkboard in his little sister's classroom -- that the date is Sept. 11, 2001, and it's obvious what's going to happen next. When the devastation comes, it is implied rather than graphically depicted. Still, the event packs 'Remember Me' with a big wallop that has infuriated some viewers and moved others.

Critics have vastly different opinions about the film's jarring denouement:

Rolling Stone's Peter Travers declared in his capsule review: "It's all weepy drool until the twist ending, which is shockingly offensive."

Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post assessed: "The finale manages to be tasteful and exploitative at the same time. It touts forgiveness while being mildly infuriating. Such is the danger of borrowing from the enormous to merely entertain. If that. Forgettable should be the last thing a movie touching on the events of 9/11 should be. Yet 'Remember Me' is just that."

Stephen Whitty of Newark's Star-Ledger, who liked the film, revealed in his review: "Movie fans should know that the story takes an abrupt third-act twist and tacks on the sort of arbitrary, 'significant' ending that's better left to first-year creative-writing assignments."

Rebecca Murray of About.com observed: "Even if you disapprove of just where the film goes, the story building up to the final climatic twist is moving and real."

Manohla Dargis of the New York Times, who liked Pattinson's performance, stated: "Along the way, many people die but few matter: most are just part of the warm-up act as well as the means to a shamelessly exploitative end."

Boo Allen of the Denton Record Chronicle charged: "'Remember Me' wallows deepest in shame by concluding its treacly treatise by drawing on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in a final plea for emotion. Unforgivable."

Audiences seem a little more forgiving. In the 'Remember Me' user reviews page on Moviefone, MissPink1189 writes, "This movie has definitely changed my life ... Some say too soon for an ending like that, but it just makes the story that much better." Jenniebruan22 wrote that she lives in New York, "and I didn't find the end distasteful at all. In fact it made me see the movie in a much more profound way." Says ARod73: "The surprise ending leaves a lasting [message] of living life with a purpose , embracing the small moments of happiness and not waiting to tell someone how you feel, tell them now." Still, Dmachone thinks, "The ending of this movie is unbelievably out of line."

It is understandable that some people found the ending shocking -- there are many New Yorkers and those beyond who lost someone in the 9/11 tragedy -- but when critics use words like "unforgivable" and "offensive," it not only condemns the filmmakers of outright exploitation and tastelessness, but it seems to render the subject taboo in some manner. While for most people the ending will come as a shock, it does add some emotional impact to the story. Could a smaller tragedy have sufficed in place of the Twin Tower collapse? Probably, but somehow utilizing an event that all of us feel connected to adds further impact to the story, and it also contemplates the idea of how many other deeply interwoven stories ended on that fateful day, and what they were like.


One can argue that the inclusion of 9/11 is unnecessary and insensitive, and that such a major public trauma did not need to be part of the film's more intimate story. One could also argue that the film does not linger long on or exploit images of the devastation. We do not see the planes hit the towers, but we do see the smoldering buildings from a distance and watch most of the film's characters looking towards downtown Manhattan in horror, knowing that Tyler is trapped there. We see his diary landing amid the rubble. The events are not used to make a political statement, but a personal one, although they are rendered within an unexpected plot twist that has left many people feeling uneasy or angry.

The filmmakers undoubtedly knew their ending would be polarizing, and Summit Entertainment took a gamble with it. A safe bet would have been to film a less controversial finale. By the same token, 'Remember Me' focuses on the tragedy that befalls us when we live our lives full of conflict, anger and bitterness and fail to appreciate the happy and joyous moments when they come -- or to learn to forgive, make amends and move forward with our lives. And how many of us appreciated those sentiments more after the horrifying shock of 9/11?

'Remember Me' is not the first and will certainly not be the last film to incorporate 9/11 into a cinematic storyline. Like most major tragedies and wartime events, it will undoubtedly be filtered through a pop culture lens well into the future. It is 2010, and we are still making movies about the Holocaust and WWII (for example), and some of them have certainly been politically incorrect and generated debate. Perhaps 'Remember Me' director Allen Coulter and screenwriter Will Fetters were thinking about this when they created this story and brought it to the screen. Or perhaps not. (Coulter has said he was initially tentative about using the ending.)

At least they have us talking, not only about the film's message, but how we are still polarized by and dealing with the aftermath of a major catastrophic event. The emotional conflict that it has stirred is in keeping with the spirit of the film. Better that reaction than indifference.

Every generation of pop culture followers has their bad boy poster child, and Generation Next is no different. But this time, there’s a twist. The bad boy du jour has a dark secret… let’s just say he’s not too worried about longevity, and is little concerned about the competition.

Immortality is a powerful new weapon for the claimant to the screaming teenage heart and Robert Pattinson delivers the goods with not one, but two mystical characters that have been making the ladies swoon.

Pattinson first twisted knickers in 2005 as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but immortality truly arrived when he took up the role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of “Twilight“ based on the wildly popular regular-guy vampire novels by Stephenie Meyer. The recently released DVD is flying faster than bat wings at dawn and the second sequel sequel “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is in post production as we speak. For a bloke who’s been stirring up trouble for such a short time, Robert Pattinson has a very interesting story to tell.

Let’s hear it in his own words:

Like many heartthrobs before him, Robert Pattinson got his start as a teen model. According to his Wikipedia page, Pattinson began his modeling career when he was twelve years old, but it wound down only four years later. He has blamed his lack of work as a model on his masculine appearance. Pattinson explained in December of 2008, “When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool. Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career.”

On his sudden fame, Robert Pattinson tells Collider.com, “My brain doesn’t really accept it. So it’s fine. I can be put anywhere and it just goes completely over my head. I just don’t want to get stabbed or something. Literally, my representation asked me, ‘Do you have any problems with this? Is it going to be okay?’ I said, ‘I just don’t want to get shot or stabbed.”

The Twilight star talks to EW.com about landing the role, and the chemistry he felt immediately with co-star Kristen Stewart. There followed a strange couple of years where Pattinson lived off his Harry Potter paycheck, drifting between obscure parts in small films and TV. During a two-week run of auditions in Hollywood, he tried out for the role of Edward Cullen, a teenage vampire who is rich and perfect and princely in the way 17-year-old boys rarely are — and who falls not for the sexy cheerleader but the shy new girl in town.

”I’d read the book and liked the book, but it made me really uncomfortable trying to picture myself in this part,” he says. ”Here’s this guy who seems to be the embodiment of every single perfect guy. Okay, I’m going to look like a complete idiot if I just try to do that — like give a half-Fonz, half-George Clooney impression. I went in thinking I would just break into hysterical laughter. But then I did it with Kristen and it was completely different. We had this chemistry that just worked.”

CelebTV caught up with Pattinson and asked about his love life, or lack of one…

“There’s literally not a single [true] story that could be written about me. I never do anything. There’s this thing about my supposed girlfriend. There’s this one girl who’s consistently mentioned. It’s like, ‘He’s dating this Brazilian model.’ What’s her name—Annelyse. I’ve never met her.”

While some rumors link Pattinson to Camilla Belle — who is also rumored to be dating Joe Jonas — the actor admits, “I mean, Camilla’s the nicest—she’s a saint. And it’s funny that she’s being portrayed as this home wrecker. She’s literally the most unlikely person to be a home wrecker. It’s just ridiculous. I don’t see people. I don’t even have people’s phone numbers. I almost don’t want to have a girlfriend, in this environment.”

See what Kristen Stewart has to say about being Edward Cullen’s dream girl Bella Swan in People Magazine:

“Oh, he’s like a little tortured artist. He’s British. He’s tall,” the 18-year-old actress says. “He always looks like he’s thinking about something. And he’s quite witty. So he’s pretty sexy.”

And yes, Pattinson proposed marriage to Stewart on set.

“I mean, I don’t know how serious he was, but yes,” Stewart says. “We spent a lot of time together, a lot of like really heightened time.”

“I can’t remember proposing to her,” Pattinson says, adding that he pops the question to women as a “good conversation starter.” “It used to be my thing, I would propose all the time,” Pattinson says. “Just go up to someone, you know, and say I love you or ask them to marry you. It always works.”

When you are the daydream of the moment, sometimes life is too busy for the fundamentals, like washing up.

Pattinson responds to rumors about his lack of hygiene on MTV.com:

When asked if it was true that he once said he hadn’t washed his hair for six weeks, the actor answered, “Probably. I don’t know. I don’t really see the point in washing your hair.”

He also revealed that if you plan on being an overnight guest at his place, you’d better be prepared for a messy apartment as well. “If you don’t care if your hair’s clean or not then why would you wash it?” he continued. “It’s like, I don’t clean my apartment ’cause I don’t care. I have my apartment for sleeping in and I have my hair for just, you know, hanging out on my head. I don’t care if it’s clean or not.”

It’s not clear if Robert Pattinson intends to clean up his act, but he does have some exciting plans for the future. He talked with Reuters about his future:

Pattinson, for one, is cautious.

“The book of ‘New Moon,’ the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson said. “Obviously ‘Twilight’ was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, and ‘New Moon’ is really about loss and reconciliation. But the reconciliation isn’t completely full.”

“It’s a strange story to have for a market that, I guess, wants to see a love story,” he said.

Nevertheless, the London-born Pattinson said everyone involved is working to make “Eclipse” as big a success as “Twilight" and "New Moon.”

I hear "Remember Me" is getting affection from its audiences. http://j.mp/db8CB9 half a minute ago via web

The star of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Remember Me, Robert Pattinson, in a new interview discusses his upcoming film, Water for Elephants.

Pattinson says: "There is a moment in your early 20s where up until that point nothing feels real, or I am just faking all of my emotions. And then suddenly, there actually comes a point where you can accept that you love someone, or I am jealous of something."

Pattinson discusses shooting scenes for Remember Me: "We would be shooting in Cental Park and 3-and-a-half-thousand people would show up, or something like that. Eventually, you can just get to a point where you can completely block it out, and don't even realize that it is there."

Pattinson continues on the subject of films: "There are certain things you can do in films when you are acting that you just can't do in reality. I guess I sort of use the industry for that type of thing."

Pattinson discusses his upcoming film, Water for Elephants: "Like I am doing a film in the summer that is working with a bunch of exotic animals. And I just think you are never going to be able to do that in reality. I have very mundane kind of reasons for choosing a film - 'I want to work with an elephant.'"

In his new film, the romantic drama “Remember Me,” Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has had a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family.

Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart.

“Remember Me” is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one’s life. The film also stars Academy Award winner Chris Cooper (“Adaptation”) and Academy Award nominee Lena Olin (“Chocolat”).

Robert Pattinson talked about his role as executive producer on “Remember Me,” what it was like working with Pierce Brosnan, and his upcoming film “Bel Ami” which he is currently shooting in England. Here’s what he had to say:

Q: What was it like to be an executive producer on this?

RP: I’m glad Nick’s (Nick Osborne) not in the room anywhere. I mean, I can’t really claim to be a proper producer. I only really came on towards the end of the movie. I was always completely on the same page with Allen (Coulter) and Nick about how they wanted to make it, and then I just wanted to make sure, as much as I could help, to protect the process. I consulted and I talked to them and stuff but I don’t want to claim any kind of creative input.

Q: Is that something you’re looking to do to control your career down the line?

RP: Yes. I was never there. Allen and Nick were there right at the nexus along with Will (Fetters) and they really championed the whole script the whole time. But yeah, I’d love to do it. I’d love to be involved in the whole process. Inevitably things become out of your hands so that the more input you can have when you can have input, the better.

Q: Did you learn a lot on this by coming in later on?

RP: Definitely, yeah. Also, at the beginning, when we were doing the rewrites of the script, it’s so nice being able to talk to everyone involved. You just don’t get that. Never. So, it was really great.

Q: This is a story about love and loss. Have you ever felt confused or lost in what you want to do in life and your career? Have you ever lost anyone dear to you or a pet?

RP: [Laughs] Yeah, I mean, to an extent. It’s terrible. I keep talking about my dog all the time. It’s an incredible dog, which I said in this interview the other day, like the dog was the most important part of my life. My family went crazy with me for saying that. But, however ridiculous it may seem to some people, it was one of the defining moments of my life. It was the worst day of my life. I mean, the dog died. I’ve lost a lot of family members as well. Strangely, that’s one of the things. At the same time, I’m talking to people, you know, when they’re talking about acting, they’re like “Picture your dog dying if you want to cry.” I would never do that. It cheapens the memory so much. [Laughs] I don’t know if that really answers the question.

Q: Did you always know what you wanted to do?

RP: No, not really. I still don’t. You try to make every little thing, you try to add something to it. I don’t know. I try to do film projects, I try to choose things which I think I can give something more to or help to elevate it to something.

Q: Allen mentioned that you had to act when you’re surrounded by fans. How do you concentrate and focus on your performance?

RP: It is really just like blanking out. At the beginning, I was having loads of problems with it because it was really crazy when we were filming around Washington Square Park. It was just complete mayhem. There was this moment when one of the security guys saw me getting more and more angry with these paparazzi guys and he just said, “Okay, imagine going over and trying to hit someone and missing in front of 40 cameras,” and that was enough to break my whole thing. It didn’t really bother me afterwards. It’s weird. It’s strange. I did a film where I hardly knew anyone on the crew or anything, because I couldn’t get out of my trailer when we were shooting, especially for the first month. I mean, I didn’t know any of them. It was really odd. But, at the same time, it’s quite a good lesson in life – discipline -- because you literally have to do it. At the end of the day, you can’t just say “I’m not doing it until these people go away.” It was way more intense than any of the Twilight films. There’s never even that many people who turn up for that. It was definitely an experience.

Q: Do you think it impacts the performance though? Does it distract you enough to actually detract from your performance?

RP: It makes you a little more self conscious. Yeah, I think there are some bits. If you wanted to really, you know, you can’t experiment with things. In the rehearsal period, you’ve got these people videoing it and so you can’t do silly things to get yourself comfortable. So, it did in a way. I’m doing a thing now where there’s no one around and I feel a million times more comfortable, so it must have had some effect. But, at the same time, there are certain qualities about Tyler, like being a little bit clenched and hiding and suppressing a lot of his emotions, so maybe it helped.

Q: What are you doing now where no one’s around? Are you shooting in Siberia?

RP: [Laughs] It’s in England for one thing which is very different to the States. The hysteria around the Twilight stuff, I mean, it’s growing a little bit, but it’s completely different. But, it’s a period thing so we’re in all these stately homes in the middle of nowhere and people just can’t find the places. Half the crew can’t find the places.

Q: What is the title?

RP: It’s called “Bel Ami.”

Q: How is it playing an American and adopting an American accent and behaviors?

RP: It is really odd how that’s happened. But then again, in the last 5 years, in L.A. you see every single actor who’s going to auditions and stuff, everybody’s Australian or English or something, everyone. I mean, in the last 5 years, I used to be like that. I mean, a guy from England, and you could really use it to your advantage as well. You can’t use it anymore. It’s more of an advantage being an American. [Laughs] But yeah, it’s odd. I grew up watching tons of American films. That’s kind of why I wanted to be an actor from watching Americans. No one’s really influenced me as much, who’s English or from some part of Britain, as American actors [have]. In other words, I feel more comfortable speaking an American accent in films. I think it feels more of a film to me. I feel like I’m kind of pretending when I’m using my own accent.

Q: What was it like working with Pierce Brosnan? You had to keep that tension on the screen. Did that bleed over?

RP: Yeah, I mean, no, we weren’t…there was no tension at all. He’s like the nicest guy. He’s really nice. I had no idea what to expect from him at all. He’s incredibly hard working. There’s not a hint of pretense or anything about him. And also, if I wanted to go rehearse or I wanted to talk about something with Allen, he’d always be willing to come across. He’d cancel things to go and talk about it. Considering we didn’t have that many scenes together as well, he would always come and I’d want to talk about it all the time. So yeah, he was great in that respect.

Q: Did he give you any advice on how to handle being a celebrity?

RP: He did one thing the first night I went out to dinner with him, just before we started shooting. We were in this place. It was an old-fashioned type of French restaurant with all these banker-looking guys. They didn’t recognize me but they recognized him obviously. He’s probably their idol in a lot of ways. He noticed these people looking over and I’m sitting there and getting more and more self-conscious. I need to leave. You know, I didn’t even realize they weren’t looking at me. And he goes up to them and introduces himself to everybody in the restaurant. At first, I was saying “What are you doing? You’re completely insane.” But it worked so well and he talked to them for a minute, and people do not look around afterwards and you can tell they’re going to go home and say “That was such a nice guy.” And there’s nothing weird about it, being in the restaurant with him afterwards. You’re no longer a kind of freak. But he’s got phenomenal confidence and so he can do that type of stuff. If I went up, it would look like I was trying to start a fire or something. [Laughs] “Hey, how ya doin’, huh?” I mean, it would look really stupid.

Q: Do you ask advice from people who have been where you are now? Are there tricks for dealing with all of this?

RP: I think it’s all really simple. From what I’ve seen, you look at how people are judged in the public arena. I think the majority of people who get beaten by it are just the people who are seen all the time, and so the less you’re seen, then you’re alright. As long as you keep attempting to make quality films, then eventually your name stands for something other than just meaningless celebrity. It’s a kind of difficult battle. You’ve got to make the work mean more than your celebrity. I think people like Johnny Depp have done that. He’s not judged at all for his public image. It’s just his work that’s judged. It’s a really, really difficult thing. It’s a lot of discipline and a lot of hiding which you have to get used to.

Q: I liked the relationship between your character and his little sister. How did you develop such a nice chemistry?

RP: I don’t know. She was just really cool. I always liked the idea of having a younger sibling. My family tricked me about 5 years ago that my mom was pregnant and I didn’t realize it was April Fools’ Day. They spent the entire day saying I was going to have a little brother, which I told all my friends it was the best day of my entire life. [Laughs] I carried on for 3 days believing it. It’s weird because now, after working with Ruby (Jerins), I liked it a lot. Whenever I see a part now, like a younger brother or I’m looking at parts where I’ve got a kid, I just love the idea of it. I’m getting like broody. [Laughs] It’s weird. It’s so bizarre. She was great to work with. She’s an amazing actress and a really interesting girl. She was really fantastic.

Q: This took place around September 11th, 2001. Do you remember what you were doing then?

RP: Yeah, I was still at school. I was doing my mock exams and my teacher came in and said “You need to stop doing what you’re doing and everyone needs to go watch.” And the whole school was brought down to watch the television. They were saying your entire generation’s lives are going to be completely different from this point on. And I guess it has been as well and I think will be for maybe the generation after us as well. I mean, it ended up being a massive event in my life.

Q: Was bicycling in Manhattan a fun experience?

RP: Yeah. It was fun. That bike broke every single time I was riding it so I have no idea. It was sort of cheap and I hadn’t ridden a bike for like 5 years before that as well, so I couldn’t really remember how to do it. That was the other thing as well about shooting. That was the one scene where they didn’t have any crowds around. It’s funny. I realize there are ways to sneakily start filming when no one can be around and I wished we’d figured that out in the beginning, because we’d done all the permits and false names and all these things which I shouldn’t probably say. But yeah, it was fun doing it.

Q: What was your favorite scene in this film?

RP: I think the scene where I confront Caroline’s Billy. That was the most fun to do. I mean, a lot of the scenes with Caroline. I really liked working with her, mainly because you don’t have to do anything. You could just look at her. It’s one of the only times I haven’t been self-conscious at all when I’ve been filming. It’s just so easy to do things with her. Whatever she did, I could completely go off of that. She was always leading the scene, so yeah, probably the scenes with her.

Q: Are you looking forward to pursuing music more?

RP: Yeah, I want to do it at the end of the year. All my friends are recording albums now so I’m very annoyed about it. But I can’t do the two things at the same time. I don’t know how people do it. All these people like Jennifer Lopez and they do everything all at once. My mind is in a completely differently place. I don’t even listen to music when I’m working.

Q: Do you have a company or are you thinking of establishing a company because it seems like you can do whatever movie you want?

RP: I want to. Yeah. I want to start a thing which encompasses music and writing as well. But, it’s just time. I don’t think I’ve established myself enough in film and definitely not in music. I haven’t done anything in music. I think you need to have a lot of good will towards you to be able to get one really going. You look at George Clooney’s company. They make great movies which wouldn’t be made otherwise. And Leonardo DiCaprio’s company as well. He’s got great people working there. They all have really good taste and they’ve made a lot of people a lot of money. I think it takes time. I want everything all at once and it’s difficult to think like that, so I’m trying to slow down a little bit.

Q: Are you filming your new movie right now?

RP: Yeah, I’ve done two weeks and I go back on Thursday. That’s why I’m kind of spaced out. [Laughs]

Facing fangs of regret?

With his tousled, seemingly unwashed locks and rumpled, just-rolled-out-of-bed undershirt and jeans, Robert Pattinson seems laid-back and carefree.

But the 23-year-old heartthrob, who attracts throngs of screaming fans wherever he goes, has a lot on his mind these days – not the least of which is what will happen when the “Robsession” ends.

“If it suddenly dies down and suddenly no one is interested … yeah, it is worrying,” he says.

“It’s scary to think that it all might just fundamentally stop after the ‘Twilight’ thing’s finished.”

That “Twilight thing” is the more than $1 billion movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series.

Pattinson stars as Edward Cullen, the vegetarian vampire who falls in love with human Bella Swan.

Despite the success of the first two films, “Twilight” and “New Moon,” he hopes to break away from that emo, teenage undead role with his new film, “Remember Me.”

Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin star as twenty-somethings falling in love while coping with family tragedy.

Q: Did you feel a lot of pressure choosing “Remember Me,” since it’s the first time we’re seeing you post-“Twilight”?

A: I just always liked the script. When I was making it, I didn’t even think about it. Now that it’s being released, it comes into context with all of that.

Q: Do you regret taking on “Twilight”?

A: You can never tell. When I did “Twilight,” I had no idea it was going to be so big. I didn’t know they were going to make the sequels afterward. … But I don’t really have any regrets about it. It’s just, you can’t. There’s nothing you can do about it.

Q: How do you feel about being an idol?

A: I don’t really know if I am. It’s still just the sort of character that people like a lot. I try and avoid promoting myself like that ’cause otherwise you end up with a huge burden of responsibility.

"I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming,” Robert Pattinson says with a small smile. “I thought I’d be doing this tiny little film in New York, just hang out in New York.”

It didn’t quite work out that way.

Pattinson made the “tiny little film,” all right — a perfectly right-sized indie called “Remember Me” that opened Friday, with Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin as college lovers and Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper as the fathers who inevitably complicate things.

It was the filming itself that was over the top.

“It was nightmarish,” says director Allen Coulter, who handled the on-location shoot. “How he managed it, I don’t know. The paparazzi and the hordes of females?”

At one point in the movie, Pattinson’s character — a Holden Caulfield-ish rich kid named Tyler — has a chat with his tween sister in a city park. Coulter says hundreds of screaming fans showed up, hoping for a glimpse of the “Twilight” phenomenon.

“Just bedlam,” the filmmaker says. “But I thought he handled it very well. He thought about nothing but the film. He’s quite an actor.”

Co-star Brosnan — who wryly allows that “I’ve had my own fair share of admirers, long may it last” — says he was impressed by how Pattinson has been handling the “vortex of fame.”

“As a man of certain years and time in this business, and having sons, I want the best for this young man in every possible way,” he says. “And I think he’s acquitting himself grandly. I think he’s got a head on his shoulders.”

“Pierce was very mentoring on the set,” Coulter says. “He felt very paternal, certainly.”

The younger star’s appearances in public require a certain amount of forethought, subterfuge, quick thinking and stolid security. (During this interview, a very large and unsmiling man stood outside the door to his suite). The details of his private life — which he works hard to keep private — are the subject of rumor, analysis and outright fiction.

Case in point: his “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart. Since that movie series began, fans — and celebrity muckrakers — have tried to link them. First, the young stars denied a romance. Then they simply said nothing. Finally, haltingly, the actor confirmed to a British paper, “We are together, yes.”

But the two young stars still play it carefully, avoiding being photographed together, entering parties separately. “If there’s a photo, they’ll write a story about it,” a wised-up Pattinson observes. “If there’s not a photo, no one seems to care.”

Pattinson — who is rather shy and stammering in real life — doesn’t want to say anything more about it now; at a round-table interview late in the day, just an allusion to “your girlfriend” makes him laugh a little uncomfortably and roll his eyes before carefully saying nothing.

You can’t blame him. Any quote he gives is analyzed like some utterance from the Oracle of Delphi — or the Federal Reserve. When Details magazine recently put him in a Helmut Newton-ish photo shoot full of naked women, he joked that he was “allergic to vaginas.” The net erupted in a flurry of snarky posts and head-shaking questions: Was Rob Pattinson really gay?

“People take everything so literally,” he says now, running a hand through his eternally tousled hair.

It is all a little silly. But it also explains why, over a long day of press conferences, round-table interviews and private chats, the actor — who describes himself as “sort of uncynical and innocent” about love — is reluctant to give away too much about his private life.

“When the spotlight seems to be quite centered on you, the best thing I think anyway is to stay as much of a mystery as you can,” he says. “Don’t try to label yourself, don’t put yourself out there, because that only creates stories. . . . I don’t think your public persona is in any way helpful to your career.”

So here, with and without his help, are a few answers to the mystery of Robert Pattinson.

The beginnings

He was born in London in 1986; his mother worked for a modeling agency and his father was an upscale car dealer. He had two older sisters, who liked to dress him up as a girl (here comes another round of gossip), and attended a school he didn’t care for. He loved music — particularly guitar and piano — and by 12 had begun to do some modeling.

Acting, though, still wasn’t quite on his radar.

“I’ve always really, really, really, really liked film,” he says (and proves it, later on, by casually referencing classic Jack Nicholson performances and obscure Godard works). “I always watched a ridiculous amount of movies, and was quite educated about them from a very young age, but I never put it together about wanting to become involved with it.”

Then he joined an amateur drama club “as kind of a lark.” That he was good at it — that he enjoyed it — surprised him. (“I don’t like showing off — I don’t even like performing that much.”) But he started getting some parts on British television. And then came the role as the tragic Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”

The Potter films were, of course, their own phenomenon. Yet Pattinson felt a little apart from it.

“The Potter films are shot at this random studio out in the middle of nowhere, so no one is waiting outside the gates for a glimpse, ever,” he says. “There’s nothing around. And I was still this complete enigma. I could kind of do what I wanted, and I could for ages. . . . I went to see Daniel (Radcliffe) do ‘Equus’ in London and no one even noticed me.”

Then Pattinson got the “Twilight” job. He knew the books were popular; he didn’t know what to expect from the movie. He got an apartment in Los Angeles and, after the shoot was finished, went back to looking for the next gig.

“Every single day, I’d go to a convenience store and get a bagel and a Snapple and read scripts,” he says. “And then, all of a sudden, I’m there on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Okay. And then the next day I went out to get breakfast and everyone was staring. And then a month later, there was the first Comic-Con and everything exploded. People were just screaming. Screaming.”

The almost orgasmic reactions shocked Pattinson because “the books are really so much about chastity. But people sexualize it in their heads. It’s so odd, and so funny. The fan fiction that people write and post — all of it ends up with Edward and Bella in bed. Or Edward and Jacob. Or everybody! It sort of ignores the whole point.”

But then, he admits with a laugh, “I think I’ve got a problem with reading scripts. I always seem to take the opposite meaning. Almost every job I’ve ever done — I don’t know why this is — but I talk to people after I’ve read the script and they say, ‘You’re seeing this the wrong way entirely.’ I disagree with almost everyone about absolutely everything.”

But the people who know Pattinson — from studio employees to co-stars — agree on one thing: He’s a sweet, unaffected young man. The moody Edward of the “Twilight” saga, the impulsive, raging Tyler of “Remember Me” — they’re only proof of what a good actor he is.

Real acting chops

Brosnan talks admiringly about his “grace under pressure.” Coulter notes that although Pattinson had signed for his small drama before the fame of “Twilight” really “went haywire,” afterward he remained committed. He didn’t try to renegotiate the deal. He didn’t beg to back out so he could take on a bigger-budgeted, better-paying job.

“On the contrary, he really wanted to do it because he knew it was an opportunity to prove he wasn’t just this flash-in-the-pan guy from ‘Twilight,’” the director says. “And he does prove it ... He’s not extremely experienced, and he’d be the first to say that. But he’s very smart and very dedicated and very, very hard on himself. Not on others — he’s generous and complimentary about everyone else. But he’s not generous with himself. And that’s actually a pretty endearing trait.”

Pattinson says he just appreciates the chance to prove he can be more than a glittering vampire.

“I was reading tons and tons of scripts and thinking about what to do after ‘Twilight,’ and there were so few that didn’t follow the same pattern,” he says. “Young guys, completely innocent virgins who learn the way of the world — every single story followed the same pattern, and (‘Remember Me’) didn’t really at all. It didn’t feel like it started at the beginning and ended at the end. It felt like it sort of started with chapter nine and ended seven chapters before you expected it to.”

Pattinson knows that people will attach outsized expectations to the movie just because of his participation. (“If it doesn’t make any money, what is he? What is his worth to the world?”) But he’s trying to ignore them. He’s already working on his next project, a new version of de Maupassant’s “Bel Ami,” playing a heartless seducer. And there is the third “Twilight” picture, “Eclipse,” scheduled for June — and, eventually, the series’ finale, “Breaking Dawn.”

After that? He shrugs and laughs.

“I don’t really know,” he says. “I hardly like any (scripts) I see. I’m sure it will end up looking quite random when you see what my next jobs are.”

Besides, right now, his main job is just trying to have a normal life.

He is not complaining, not really. And even if he’s sick of the paparazzi, he is certainly not whining about his fans, the “Twihards” who stand screaming outside premieres or shakily hand him photos to sign.

“People coming up to you in the street is nice,” he insists. “It’s just when people know they can make money off your life, that’s when it becomes difficult — because they’re relentless.”

So he has strategies.

“It’s a bit of a hassle, but if you make sure you don’t go where the crowds will be, if no one finds out where you’re staying or having dinner, then it’s fine,” he says. “People say I should just accept it, don’t let it rule my life, but having photographers surrounding me when I’m trying to have dinner? That’s not life for me at all. If you can avoid that — which is possible, most of the time — then it’s not crazy every single day.

“And then when it isn’t,” he adds with a grin, “then you can actually enjoy the kind of hysterical parts.”

“Remember Me” is not for the pre-teen crowd that flock to see Robert Pattinson in the “Twilight” films, though Summit’s marketing campaign wants you to think so. It’s a darker, more mature look at love and family, albeit a fairly melodramatic one.

The film opens when young Ally witnesses her mother’s murder in a subway mugging. The action then jumps ahead 10 years when Ally (Emilie de Ravin) is in college. Her rebellious classmate Tyler (Robert Pattinson) has also been affected by a personal tragedy — the suicide of his older brother.

One night, Tyler gets involved in a fight outside a bar that results in an altercation between him and Ally’s father (Chris Cooper).

Tyler’s roommate Aidan (Tate Ellington) sees Ally with her father one day and suggests that Tyler date Ally and dump her as a way to get back at her father. But of course, nothing goes according to plan, and Tyler really falls in love with Ally, her free spirit and enthusiasm for living in the moment reinvigorating him.

The romance between Tyler and Ally is just one aspect at the center of “Remember Me.” Ally’s relationship with her father and Tyler’s relationship with his family play just as important of a role. After the death of Ally’s mother, her father is fiercely protective and can’t come to grips with her growing up and becoming independent, a battle that strains their relationship.

Tyler’s father (Pierce Brosnan) is a workaholic who, while he has provided for the family monetarily, has been largely absent personally. Tyler’s sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins) is a socially-awkward budding artist who just wants their father to pay attention to her. Tyler’s intense loyalty to his little sister drives him to become angrier and angrier at his father’s neglect.

This movie doesn’t feel like it’s meant to be a blockbuster success, although I’m sure Summit wouldn’t complain if Pattinson’s new teen idol status earns it some extra dough. Instead, it feels like part thoughtful indie, part “Love Story” or Nicholas Sparks melodrama. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but overall “Remember Me” is an engaging film.

This isn’t the movie for Pattinson to show audiences whether he has versatility and staying power beyond “Twilight” — his upcoming “Bel Ami” and “Water for Elephants” should be better suited to that — but it does show he has potential. It’s nice to see him go beyond Edward Cullen, even if Tyler can be equally brooding at times.

He gives a good performance with the material he’s given to work with, as does de Ravin, best known for her work on “Lost.” They’re both such likable leads that it’s easy to care about their characters, and they both exude a certain charm that reels you into them. They definitely have a strong screen presence, and they have good chemistry as a couple.

The veteran supporting players are equally strong. Brosnan and Cooper shine in their scenes, Brosnan oblivious and narcissistic and Cooper powerful and pained.

But the real standout of the film is Jerins as Caroline, who glows with a maturity and wisdom beyond her years in every scene she’s in. The slightest twitch of her face or lilt in her voice is enough to make you laugh or break your heart. She also brings out the best in Pattinson, who, while he does have good chemistry with de Ravin, shines the most in his scenes with Jerins.

The only performer who was a bit off was Ellington as Aidan, who was fun and goofy sometimes and a bit too obnoxious the rest of the time. He is so overzealous, saying every line and making every gesture with so much energy that he comes across like Tigger on speed.

Allen Coulter does well in the director’s chair, but Will Fetters’ script is the aspect of the film with the most weaknesses. If the somber tone and dialogue leading up to the film’s climactic end were less drenched in melodrama, the movie may have been more effective overall.

But I do applaud Fetters for taking a huge risk in the film’s last 10 minutes. It may or may not have worked depending on your view of the scene’s execution, but it’s refreshing that Fetters attempted to go there rather than playing it predictably safe.

“Alice in Wonderland,” a 3-D fantasy movie starring Johnny Depp, finished first at the weekend box office for the second straight week.

The Disney movie, directed by Tim Burton, took in $62 million over the weekend to take the top slot, according to early estimates from Hollywood.com.

“Green Zone,” a Universal Iraq war movie with Matt Damon, placed second with $14.5 million.

“She’s Out of My League,” a Paramount comedy, was third with an estimated $9.5 million, although the studio has yet to report its final totals.

“Remember Me” (Summit Entertainment) a drama with “Twilight” actor Robert Pattinson, took fourth place with $8.3 million.

Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office division of Hollywood.com, said via email that “Alice in Wonderland’s” $208,625,000 total domestic gross after just ten days of release was “staggering.” The film also posted “massive” mid-week grosses, he said.

Robert Pattinson has revealed he wants to record a music album.

The Twilight star, who plays the piano and guitar and composes his own music, fancies pursuing his musical ambitions but has doubts about multi-tasking.

"I kind of want to do one at the end of the year - all my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it, but I can't do two things at once," he told Parade.com.

"I don't know how people like Jennifer Lopez can act and also sing. I'm just like, 'I can't'. But, hopefully, I'll find some time to get it together."

Robert, whose two songs featured on the Twilight soundtrack, has said previously that music was his fallback, should the acting jobs dry up.

"Music is my back-up plan if acting fails. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket," he has said.

Robert next appears in Remember Me with Pierce Brosnan and will reprise his role as vampire Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, released in July.

As has been compared to kissing Pattinson?
“What can I say? Rob has a mouth bigger.

Last question: he wants to clarify its relationship with Pattinson?
“No. I can only say that with Twilight we have all become very close and that what is told us from the outside comes to demean our relations.

Are you saying that you’re just good friends?
“No, not what I said.”

Box office numbers are in for Friday and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is dominating for a second straight weekend. The 3-D extravaganza starring Johnny Depp earned an estimated $17.5 million for its second Friday in theaters. On track now for a 57 percent drop, the PG-rated film is expected to earn around $58 million for the weekend and is likely to post a $200 million cumulative gross after 10 days.

The rest of the top five is led by new releases, with director Paul Greengrass’ The Green Zone the best performer of the bunch. But that’s not saying much. The $100 million Iraq war drama starring Matt Damon grossed an estimated $5 million on its first day in theaters. The weak bow should extrapolate to $15 million for the first three days. Third place will likely belong to Robert Pattinson’s romantic drama Remember Me. The inexpensive film co-starring Pierce Brosnan grossed an estimated $3.5 million on Friday, putting it on track to earn more than $9 million for the weekend.

The No. 4 spot four likely go to the R-rated comedy She’s Out of My League. The film grossed just over $3 million on Friday for a projected weekend take of $9 million. And No. 5 should belong to Our Family Wedding, whose $2.5 million Friday gross is likely to translate into $8 million by Sunday. Check back tomorrow for a full report.

Can 100 million screaming "Twilight" fans be wrong?

Robert Pattinson, in layered flannel and T-shirts that offset an unruly mop of carefully mussed hair, may be the only person in the world who wonders. After two phenomenally successful movies based on Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" novels, he's known all over the world as Edward Cullen, a vampire since 1918 who will be 17 years old forever.

At 24, he can still convincingly play 17, but unlike Edward, Pattinson's youth won't last forever.

The first "Twilight" movie opened in November 2008 and took in $70 million in its first three days. With that kind of fame, Pattinson could phone in a rip-off movie and still watch it gross multimillions.

But who remembers Fabian or Tommy Sands or dozens of other teen idols who never grew into movie stars? Even the $10 million Pattinson will earn for the vampire gig might run out. He needs something different.

He has found it in the role of Tyler Hawkins, the son of a wealthy New York businessman (Pierce Brosnan) who rebels against his father and falls in love with the daughter of a cop. Some compare the character to the one James Dean played in "East of Eden," a disillusioned teen who fights against once-trusted elders.

The movie, an original script, is called "Remember Me" and opens in local theaters today.

"I read tons of scripts the summer after the first 'Twilight' movie but this was the only one that didn't fit into a formula," Pattinson said as he sat in The Waldorf Towers hotel in New York City.

"Remember Me" could be described as romantic melodrama, in which many obstacles impede the two lovers. Rated PG-13, it's a bit depressing for the 12- and 13-year-old girls who are his noisiest fans. Pattinson mused about whether they should see it.

"I suppose it depends on the parents," he said. "I mean, there's nothing in it that will harm them but it's a little dark."

Feisty blonde Emilie de Ravin of the television series "Lost" replaces "Twilight's" Kristen Stewart as his leading lady. In a separate interview, she talked about how Pattinson handles his star status. During filming at Central Park in New York City, she said, a bodyguard escorted her from her trailer. He was one of many extra security guards, she said.

"It took me a few moments to figure out they weren't for me," she said. "I sympathize with Rob in this situation, but he seems very grounded. He's adjusted to it as well, I believe, as anyone could."

So is he a good kisser? De Ravin just laughs.

After all, Pattinson and Kristen Stewart won the MTV award for Best Movie Kiss last year.

"She just laughed?" Pattinson said. "You see, I'm a bore, really."

Pattinson's role in "Twilight" casts him as a teenager who, despite having lived about 100 years, will never get old. In "Remember Me," Pattinson sees Tyler as a young guy who has some growing up to do, a character he connects with.

"Tyler is at that point where you stop being so kind of existential and you start to not feel like an island," Pattinson said. "His feelings are honest and have worth. He can trust himself a little more. He's maturing. That's what the part is about."

As for his role as one of the producers of "Remember Me," he said, "I'm a little embarrassed about that. It came about after shooting was finished and I was asked to help in developing the film. Reluctantly, I accepted, but it was kind of a token job."

Chris Cooper, who won an Academy Award for "Adaptation," plays the father of the leading lady. In a separate interview, Cooper denied reports that he hurt Pattinson while filming a fight scene.

"Everything was carefully choreographed," Cooper said. "That boy is worth a lot. He's worth gold. No one was punching him too hard."

Pattinson said his new paycheck hasn't changed him, and that he has no interest in material things. Until recently, he shared his hotel apartment with his older sister and a longtime acting friend, who slept on couches. He didn't want to insult other friends who are broke by showing off his new wealth.

He's much more at ease than he was a year ago when we talked to him about vampires.

"I think I'm adjusting pretty well. I've learned that no one is happy all the time," Pattinson said. "If we were happy all the time, we wouldn't know the difference. But, for a short time, I am happy. Other people take antidepressants and go into therapy. I just wait. Things will happen."

The next "Twilight" movie comes out in June, to be followed by the fourth and last (although there are rumors of a two-part movie treatment of the fourth book).

After that he'll star in a Western in which he will mostly speak Comanche.

He will then play "a real villain" in "Bel Ami," adapted from a Guy de Maupassant novel. As Pattinson puts it: "He thinks like an animal and rips off all his friends. He's a long way from what I consider to be the nobility of Edward Cullen."

That's good. Pattinson clearly plans to have an acting career long past the time of the full moon - or the age of 17. When vampires are only creatures from his past, he hopes people will still "Remember Me."
