From New­sOK:

‘Remem­ber Me’ star Robert Pat­tin­son won’t for­get what ‘Twi­light saga’ has cre­ated him

NEW YORKRobert Pat­tin­son is under­stand­ably a lit­tle fid­gety and dis­tracted these days. Every­where he goes, it seems, he’s fol­lowed by light­ning­like flashes and shutter-clicking hordes of paparazzi. When word gets out that he’s in town — and, some­how, it always does — screech­ing gag­gles of young female fans gather nearby and swoon over his every move.

So it is that the hunky, 23-year-old British star of the hot teen vam­pire films “Twi­light” and “New Moon” seems a bit pre­oc­cu­pied as he is ush­ered into a mid­town hotel suite to dis­cuss his new movie, “Remem­ber Me,” dur­ing a recent press event hosted by Sum­mit Entertainment.

Flanked by a team of stern, clock-watching pub­li­cists who admon­ish every­one around, “No pic­tures; no auto­graphs,” Pat­tin­son looks slightly sheep­ish as he’s handed a bot­tle of Fiji water and set­tles into a chair.

His hair tou­sled and his face fash­ion­ably stub­bled, he’s decked out in gray shirt, gray wind-breaker jacket and rum­pled dark jeans, appear­ing every bit the suc­ces­sor of moody-broody heart­throbs in the James Dean–Johnny Depp lineage.

“Remem­ber Me,” a con­tem­po­rary roman­tic drama about two young lovers strug­gling to deal with fam­ily rela­tion­ships dam­aged by untimely deaths, was shot on loca­tion around New York City, and Pat­tin­son admits through a series of rue­ful laughs that his red-hot celebrity made the pro­duc­tion a chaotic ordeal. Every­where they filmed, groupies and paparazzi crowded in and cre­ated turmoil.

“It’s weird,” Pat­tin­son said. “I did this film, and I hardly knew any­one on the crew because I couldn’t get out of my trailer, espe­cially the first month. I mean, I didn’t know any­one on the set. It was really odd.

“But at the same time, it’s really a quite nice les­son in dis­ci­pline because you lit­er­ally have to do it,” he said. “You can’t say, ‘I’m not per­form­ing until all these peo­ple go away.’ It was way more intense than any of the ‘Twi­light’ films even.”

Direc­tor Allen Coul­ter said he knew going in that Pattinson’s fever­ish celebrity would require extra lay­ers of secu­rity around the filming.

“I knew when Rob was going to the bath­room accom­pa­nied by about 14 guards that we had real secu­rity issues,” Coul­ter said. “I mean, we expected some­thing, but not what we got. Joe Reidy, a mas­ter­ful assis­tant direc­tor who’s been with DiCaprio work­ing with Scors­ese and oth­ers, even he was stag­gered by the inten­sity of it. It was tough.

“The first few days in par­tic­u­lar, when we had to get our foot­ing, Rob and the oth­ers man­aged to per­form inti­mate scenes when we had 30 to 50 guys on the side­lines with cam­eras, that we were barely able to con­trol, not to men­tion 700 to 1,000 young girls all vibrat­ing. It was not easy for the cast to act, and it was not easy for us to do our jobs.”

Despite rig­or­ous secu­rity efforts and lots of burly pro­duc­tion assis­tants to keep crowds at bay, “you sim­ply couldn’t defeat it,” the direc­tor said. “They (groupies) had inroads and ways of find­ing out where we were going to shoot. And we’d show up some­where at 5 a.m., and there would be girls stand­ing there wait­ing for us so they could see Rob walk from his trailer to the set. They’d see him for maybe 15 sec­onds. They’d wait all day for that.”

Still, Pat­tin­son, who went from a sup­port­ing role in two “Harry Pot­ter” movies to inter­na­tional star­dom as sexy vam­pire Edward Cullen in the first two films of “The Twi­light Saga” series, said he’s learn­ing to deal with the daunt­ing dis­trac­tions of fame.

“It really is just about blank­ing it out,” he said. “I mean, 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 one moment where one of the secu­rity guys saw me get­ting more and more and more angry with the paparazzi guys, and he said to me, ‘Imag­ine like going up and try­ing to hit one of them and miss­ing, right there in front of 40 cam­eras.’ And that was enough to break my rage. It didn’t really bother me after that.”

The noisy com­mo­tion of celebrity, how­ever, did detract from his per­for­mance, Pat­tin­son admitted.

“It makes you a lit­tle more self-conscious. I mean … yeah. You can’t really exper­i­ment with things. You can’t really do silly things to get your­self com­fort­able. So it did in a way detract. But at the same time, there is a cer­tain qual­ity to Tyler (his char­ac­ter) that’s a lit­tle bit clenched, that’s about sup­press­ing his emo­tions, so maybe it helped.”

Pat­tin­son said he received a valu­able les­son in han­dling the demands of celebrity with grace from co-star Pierce Bros­nan, who plays his emo­tion­ally with­hold­ing, busi­ness tycoon father in the film.

“Pierce did one thing the first night I went out to din­ner with him before we started shoot­ing,” Pat­tin­son said. “We were in this place, a sort of old-fashioned French restau­rant, and all these sort of banker-looking guys were there. They didn’t rec­og­nize me, but they obvi­ously rec­og­nized him, he was prob­a­bly like their idol, and Pierce said he noticed these peo­ple look­ing over.

“And I’m sit­ting there get­ting more and more self-conscious and ready to leave. And he goes over and intro­duces him­self to every­one at the table. And at first I thought, ‘You are com­pletely insane.’ But it worked so well. I mean, he talked to them for about a minute. And peo­ple did not look around after­wards, and you can tell that they’re going to go home and say, ‘Yeah, he’s such a nice guy.’

“And after that there was noth­ing weird about us being in the restau­rant,” Pat­tin­son said. “You’re no longer a kind of freak. But, of course, he’s got enor­mous con­fi­dence, so he can do that. If I did that, it would prob­a­bly look like I was try­ing to start a fight or something.”

Finally, Pat­tin­son said he is try­ing to main­tain a calm san­ity about his dizzy­ing fame and to be aware that it could go away as quickly as it came.

“I think it’s all really sim­ple,” he said thought­fully as han­dlers swooped in to wrap up the ques­tion­ing. “I mean, you look at how peo­ple are judged in the pub­lic arena, and I think the major­ity of peo­ple kind of get beaten by it, the peo­ple who are seen all the time. I mean, the less you’re seen then you’ll be all right. As long as you keep attempt­ing to make qual­ity films, then even­tu­ally your name stands for some­thing other than mean­ing­less celebrity. It’s a kind of dif­fi­cult bat­tle, but you have to make the work mean more than your celebrity. I think Johnny Depp has done that, and that’s what I’d like to do.”

Remember Me’ Director Allen Coulter chats about the Paparazzi and Rob


Twi­light is part of this movie even if you didn’t intend it, in the way it brings atten­tion to the movie and just the fact that Sum­mit is releas­ing it. How has that worked for you?
When we cast him Twi­light wasn’t out, and I didn’t know who he was. That was an advan­tage, because I cast him just because I liked him. We hope peo­ple will go to this movie who might not have pur­sued it oth­er­wise. If he wasn’t this phe­nom, you wouldn’t auto­mat­i­cally assume that tens of thou­sands of teenage girls would show up the first day. We hope that is the case. But this is a movie I made for adults.

When did you real­ize you had the biggest star in the world in your movie?
Cer­tainly the first day, when we had the thou­sands of girls stand­ing out­side from dawn until dusk. We real­ized what we were in for. It was not easy, believe me.

We under­stand there was one day where you snapped at the paparazzi?
We found our­selves in a sit­u­a­tion with the movie that we never expected to be in. No one had an idea that basi­cally we had unleashed Elvis. It was tough from the very begin­ning. All of us were a lit­tle gob­s­macked by this. We just strug­gled the best we could. That was just a day that I felt the sense of enti­tle­ment the paparazzi had, that they had the right to demand cer­tain kinds of shots. We were just try­ing to make the day, the sun was falling, the last shot that we did, that was it. They were angry they couldn’t get a shot of him. They felt it was their right, that we should accom­mo­date them. I lost it, and they deserved it. They deserve worse. That was the one time I couldn’t hold back.

What inspired you to cast Rob to begin with?
We needed some­one who could embody a cer­tain kind of angst that one feels at 21, and the com­pli­ca­tions and com­plex rela­tion­ships that grow from the con­fu­sions of being 21. And Rob seemed in our ini­tial meet­ing to under­stand that and grasp that, but have enough dis­tance on it to be able to act that.

Emilie de Ravin talks about working with Rob in ‘Remember Me’

Emi­lie de Ravin is caught between two worlds.

 The bright-eyed Aus­tralian actor is in Toronto for a round of inter­views pro­mot­ing her new film, Remem­ber Me, a roman­tic drama that pairs her with Twi­light throb Robert Pat­tin­son. From here, she’ll fly into a snow­bound New York for the press junket.

After that, it’s back to trop­i­cal Hawaii to fin­ish the sixth and final sea­son of Lost, where she plays Claire, who’s returned this year with a mys­te­ri­ous homi­ci­dal mania.

“We’ve got three hours to shoot, or maybe three and a half at this point,” de Ravin says. “So about six or seven weeks left. Not much. And I have no idea how it’s gonna end, I really don’t.”

That’s okay, I say. I’m enjoy­ing the mys­tery and don’t want to know how it wraps up.

“Well, I do!” She laughs. “But at the same time, I’m kinda used to get­ting sur­prised each week when I get my scripts, so I like that now.”

Remem­ber Me offered a change from Lost, though its sto­ry­line also fea­tures char­ac­ters strug­gling with father issues and trau­ma­tized by the loss of a close rel­a­tive. (De Ravin’s Ally loses her mother to a sub­way mug­ging; Pattinson’s Tyler found his sui­ci­dal brother’s body.)

But the biggest dif­fer­ence was shoot­ing on loca­tion in Man­hat­tan, sur­rounded by hun­dreds of scream­ing Twi-hards, all jock­ey­ing for a glimpse of their favourite sparkle vampire.

“It’s fas­ci­nat­ing, the amount of scream­ing – young women and girls and older women, and the occa­sional male,” she laughs. “Women just came out in gen­eral. They can just pop out of nowhere at any given moment. I mean, god, some of them were, like, eight years old! How do you even know what a good-looking guy is? You’re eight!

“But you know, it was inter­est­ing to nav­i­gate that – to stay focused on what you’re doing, when you’ve got so many peo­ple just glued to every move­ment you make. You’re just try­ing to fig­ure out a scene and be in that moment. I tried to look at it as a chal­lenge, as opposed to a problem.”

De Ravin found her way through it by devel­op­ing intri­cate back­sto­ries for her char­ac­ter with Pat­tin­son and Chris Cooper, who plays her father – the bet­ter to know where Ally was emo­tion­ally in any given scene.

“With Chris,” she says, “we spent time together but also spent time really devel­op­ing our back­story, basi­cally talk­ing about ‘Okay, what do we talk about on a daily basis? Who cooks? Who does this?’ I think that really helped, and hope­fully it comes across.

“There was a sim­i­lar sit­u­a­tion with Rob because, you know, there’s a lot of things that are not hap­pen­ing on-screen. We’re going to get to the point where we basi­cally know every­thing about each other, but you can’t obvi­ously have the audi­ence there for all of that. It’d take months!”

Remem­ber Me gives de Ravin her largest film role to date – and not just because she’s star­ring oppo­site Pat­tin­son. The bulk of her big-screen appear­ances have been smaller sup­port­ing roles. She’s dead before Brick even begins, and her screen time in last year’s Pub­lic Ene­mies amounts to a hand­ful of shots in an early rob­bery sequence.

“You can develop a three-scene char­ac­ter,” de Ravin says, “and it can be great, but the audi­ence doesn’t know as much about you. So they’re not as com­fort­able with that char­ac­ter, or they don’t feel like they know that char­ac­ter as much. You really get to know the peo­ple in this film.”

Rob’s Interview with Fandango — He talks about Bel Ami

Robert Pattinson’s Interview With ComingSoon.Net — SPOILERS

Robert Pattinson’s instan­ta­neous and often over­whelm­ing star power is fan­tas­tic for the moment. But what hap­pens when “The Twi­light Saga” comes to a close and his herds of ador­ing fans find another up and comer to fawn over? If Pat­tin­son has any­thing to do with it, he’ll have moved on from sim­ply being a Hol­ly­wood heart­throb and have estab­lished him­self as a rep­utable actor. Not only does Remem­ber Me pro­vide him with the oppor­tu­nity to be remem­bered long after his claim to fame has come and gone, but it allows him to deliver a sim­i­larly impor­tant con­cept to movie­go­ers: the value of mov­ing on but never forgetting.

Pat­tin­son stars as Tyler, an NYU stu­dent strug­gling with a vast amount of demons he’s not quite sure really exist. It’s for­tu­nate that Pat­tin­son can’t relate to his char­ac­ter in two respects: he didn’t have a trou­bled youth and that dis­con­nect made the role much more intrigu­ing to tackle. Dur­ing a round­table inter­view he explained, “All the peo­ple who I’ve met who are trou­bled teenagers, you meet their fam­ily and their fam­ily is like, ‘I don’t know what to do. He’s just – I have no idea what his prob­lem is.’” Tyler def­i­nitely has prob­lems to work out, but a recent fam­ily tragedy fur­ther exac­er­bates the sit­u­a­tion caus­ing him to get unnec­es­sar­ily heated and even violent.

Spoil­ers after the jump!

Robert Pattinson’s Interview with Manny the Movie Guy

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m now a fan of Robert Pat­tin­son. He was sweet and shy in per­son, and he had such hon­est vulnerability.

When I inter­viewed him for “Remem­ber Me,” we talked about:

*** His involve­ment with the film (appar­ently, they offered him “Remem­ber Me” prior to the first “Twi­light” — after “Twi­light” came out, he could have eas­ily said no to “Remem­ber Me,” but the actor was true to his words, and he really loved the script!)
*** His char­ac­ter, Tyler
*** Work­ing with Ruby Jerins
*** How he iden­ti­fies with the character

TV Guide Interviews Rob and the ‘Remember Me’ Cast

Robert Pattinson’s Interview with Parade Part 2

Fear not, Twi­light fans. This June, Robert Pat­tin­son will be back in the­aters as Hollywood’s hottest vam­pire, Edward Cullen, in The Twi­light Saga: Eclipse.

Mean­while, you can catch him mak­ing love and war as trou­bled col­lege stu­dent Tyler in the indie drama Remem­ber Me. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out why Pat­tin­son would like to be more like his char­ac­ter, who doesn’t hold back his emotions.

The dat­ing game.
“When it comes to the oppo­site sex, I’m not as fully con­fi­dent as the guy I play. I don’t even remem­ber the last time I asked some­one out on a date, like, just went up to them and that’s the first thing I did. I’m much more self-conscious and not want­ing to fail. So I tend to hold back.”

Ditto with unleash­ing his macho side.
“I related to Tyler in that I wish I could have done things like he did when I had the oppor­tu­nity. There is some­thing quite sat­is­fy­ing about being a lit­tle bit more reck­less and even fight­ing. It’s quite cathar­tic to just sort of ran­domly start hit­ting some­one. It was fun kind of, let­ting all your rage go on the set. We had this big scene where I punch out some guys. It went fine and nobody was really hurt at all. But, at the end, I was like doing this thing where I was hit­ting myself in the arm, sort of pump­ing myself up. They cut it out of the movie, but I punched myself so hard that I was in a lot of pain for the rest of the shoot. It was the most stu­pid thing I’ve ever done.”

He’s felt the pain before.
“I got beaten up by a lot of peo­ple when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unpro­voked. It was after I first started act­ing and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was sup­posed to be, and that appar­ently pro­voked a lot of peo­ple into hit­ting me.”

What he learned from Pierce Bros­nan.
“We went out to din­ner in a restau­rant full of all these guys who looked like bankers or bro­kers. They didn’t rec­og­nize me, but they rec­og­nized Pierce. And he said, ‘Notice those peo­ple look­ing over?’ I’m sit­ting there get­ting more and more self-conscious, even though I didn’t real­ize they weren’t look­ing at me. Sud­denly, Pierce got up and intro­duced him­self to every­body in the restau­rant. At first I was like, ‘What are you doing? You’re like com­pletely insane.’ But it worked. Every­body just relaxed and stopped star­ing and you could tell they were going to go home and say, ‘Pierce is such a nice guy.’”

No prob­lem with being com­pared to James Dean.
“I think he was like the most influ­en­tial per­son for young guys, espe­cially actors, in the last 50 years. So yeah, I mean, I’m not ashamed to say I am very much influ­enced by him.”

Fac­ing up to the pres­sure of the box office.
“It’s like a kind of a mon­ster thing. The more peo­ple think they know you, the more you’re iden­ti­fied with a cer­tain kind of role. Peo­ple always used to ask me about type­cast­ing and I never had to really worry about it. You think peo­ple will judge you by your work. But the truth is, it’s about whether the film you’re in makes money or not. And if it’s not mak­ing money, they’re like, ‘Oh, he’s over.’”

His ulti­mate goal.
“You keep try­ing to make your name stand for some­thing other than just like mean­ing­less celebrity. It’s a dif­fi­cult bat­tle, but I think peo­ple like Johnny Depp have done that. He’s not judged by his pub­lic image, it’s just his act­ing that counts. To get to that place takes a lot of dis­ci­pline and a lot of hiding.”

Before Edward Cullen and “Twi­light” and the global heart­throb sta­tus that fol­lowed, there was Robert Pat­tin­son, young actor mak­ing his way in the business.

“I thought he was a nice, scruffy young guy from Eng­land,” said “Remem­ber Me” direc­tor Allen Coul­ter. He had lunch with Pat­tin­son a year before shoot­ing began.

“Twi­light” hadn’t yet opened, and Coul­ter ulti­mately cast Pat­tin­son as Tyler Hawkins, an anguished col­lege stu­dent estranged from his father who falls in love with the daugh­ter of a cop.

“I thought, ‘What the hell, let’s take a chance on the guy.’ Then sud­denly he was a phenomenon.”

When “Remem­ber Me” was film­ing last year on loca­tion in Man­hat­tan, Queens and Brook­lyn, secu­rity was a must because of paparazzi and fans.

“The actors are try­ing to do an inti­mate scene, with a thou­sand girls vibrat­ing on the hill,” Coul­ter said.

Pat­tin­son agreed: “The first two weeks were kind of crazy because I was all around (New York Uni­ver­sity) and Wash­ing­ton Square Park, where there would be tons of peo­ple around any­way. But after that you just get used to it. You just block cer­tain things out.”

“I barely like any­thing and so it’s kind of easy to pick your jobs. I was read­ing a ton of scripts and what shocked me was it just didn’t fall into any (cat­e­gory). It didn’t seem very for­mu­laic and I’d just read tons and tons of for­mu­laic scripts. It was just such a relief to find that.”

Also, he added, “there was some­thing about Tyler — I don’t know — the way he reacted to things. I hadn’t really seen another char­ac­ter like it in a hun­dred scripts.”

“Twi­light: Eclipse” arrives this sum­mer and Pat­tin­son is set to film the fourth and final chap­ter soon after.

“Remem­ber Me” opens Friday.
