A Q&A with ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson
By John Anderson
Newsday
NEW YORK — There are stars, there are idols, and there are the squeal-worthy — the guys you merely have to mention for girls to explode with ecstasy, glee and a certain amount of misery.
Such is Robert Pattinson, the 23-year-old English actor who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” series, and who turns out to be a very gentle and seemingly normal guy. His between-ghoul gig, alas, is playing the conflicted Tyler Roth in the Allen Coulter-directed drama “Remember Me,” which opened March 12.
He recently took some time out from his busy schedule to answer a few questions about his latest film and his blood-sucking alter ego:
Q. Did you pick this project just to counter your Edward Cullen image?
A. That was one of the reasons. But there was also something different about the script that stayed with me. It was odd — you wonder why it was written, what happened to the writer, what elements are true. And it seemed like I could spend the summer in New York and it would be really nice after all the pandemonium.
Q. Pierce Brosnan, who plays your father, was James Bond for four films; you’ve got a four-film franchise. You ever talk about that?
A. Not really, but he was great, zero pretense, completely comfortable in his own skin. The first time we went out to dinner, there were people at another table looking at him, so he went over and introduced himself and suddenly everyone was much more comfortable.
Q. They were looking at him and not you?
A. They had no idea who I was. It was an old French restaurant on the Upper West Side. Someone said, “Is this your son?” And Pierce said, “Yes! This is my son. …” He was really fun to work with.
Q. There are only four “Twilight” novels; the third film comes out in June. It seems like you’re in the homestretch.
A. That’s why I was never particularly worried. They’ll do the last one at the end of the year, and that’s it. Done. And because I didn’t start when I was really a kid, I don’t feel like I’m losing anything or selling my childhood. It’s such a funny thing to have gone through. It’s such a supernova. It exploded so quickly, and then it’s finished.
Q. How do you refashion yourself after that?
A. I’m making “Bel Ami,” which is based on a Guy de Maupassant novel. I play a con man who seduces his way up the social ladder, betrays everybody. Anybody who does him a favor, he stabs in the back, and then he gets rewarded for it in the end. He’s a real menace to society. It’s a completely different experience from what I’ve done before.

In Remember Me, Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a troubled 22-year-old who has more family issues than you can shake a stick at. Then he meets Ally, who lives each day to the full since her mother’s murder. But can the tragic circumstances that bought them together keep them there?
“There’s so much more to it than just a love story,” says Robert’s co-star Emilie de Ravin. “It’s about how families and individuals are affected by and react to love and loss and fear and grief, and all of these things.”
After Twilight’s sucess, Robert has his pick of Hollywood’s top roles, so what made him decide to take Remember Me? “It felt very different to anything else was out there, and it felt very real. And I don’t think most films do feel very real in the way that they’re written. So hopefully that comes across,” Robert explained, before adding. “I just really liked the character, I really related to him.”
But what did Robert and Emilie think about working together? “I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the role,” gushed Emilie. “He really was as equally passionate about it as I was and we really did everything we could to develop our roles, and make everything as natural and real as possible.” And Robert was equally as complimentary. “It was really good, she’s really great,” he said, before adding, “Very feisty.”

Will Fetters talks about how Rob’s participation secured financing for the film, and gave it an “invaluable publicity boost”:
‘Twilight’ star cited in script’s success
BY DENNIS KING
Published: March 23, 2010
NEW YORK — Will Fetters is living an aspiring young screenwriter’s dream.
His first script, completed while he was studying political science and prepping for law school at the University of Delaware, just finished a Cinderella journey to production and opened in theaters nationwide this month.
“Remember Me” is directed by Allen Coulter (“Hollywoodland”) and has a heavyweight cast that includes Pierce Brosnan, Lena Olin, Chris Cooper and Robert Pattinson of “Twilight” fame. It was Pattinson’s participation in the film as star and executive producer that secured financing and gave the movie an invaluable publicity boost, the screenwriter said.
But it wasn’t Pattinson whom Fetters had in mind while writing the script.
“When you’re a 22-year-old and you don’t know anyone and you’re writing your first script, you have ideals in your head,” Fetters said during a recent press junket. “When I was teaching myself to write, I read ‘American Beauty,’ and Chris Cooper was actually the guy that I had in my head for the cop’s role when I was writing in my apartment in Delaware.
“And when I heard that he was going to do it — that was actually one of the last roles that we cast — that was pretty cool,” he said. “His performance in ‘American Beauty’ stayed with me. And to see him cast in my first movie, that was very, very cool.”
Fetters said he never dreamed his first screenplay, loosely based on an incident in his life, would lure such big-name talent. “I always thought that if I were lucky this would be a small independent film that would go to Sundance without a distributor,” he said. “But to have this actor (Pattinson) at this moment come on board …. It’s wonderful, but who would have thought? “My life has changed completely,” Fetters said. “When you’re a young writer, you cross this invisible threshold when you get your first movie made. And the fact that Rob’s involved certainly upped the profile. I got my first job offer right after Rob started to circle this project.

Interview: Robert Pattinson, actor
Published Date: 23 March 2010
By JAMES MOTTRAM
RIGHT now, being Robert Pattinson is a full-time business fraught with danger. The last time I saw him, the British star of the Twilight vampire franchise was in Cannes, surrounded by screaming French fans ready to sink their teeth into his flesh. With the release of Twilight sequel New Moon in November furthering “R-Patz” mania, it’s now reached epidemic proportions – fuelled by his relationship with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.
When we meet in a New York hotel it seems impossible to escape him. Posters cover the subway for his latest film, Remember Me, while shops are full of Pattinson posters, calendars and T-shirts. Meanwhile, the cover of US magazine Details sees him wedged in between a model’s legs (a photo shoot that led him in the accompanying interview to say “I’m allergic to vagina” – a quote that will doubtless follow him to his grave). No wonder, with his five-day stubble, unruly sideburns and unkempt James Dean-like mop of hair, he looks a little haggard.
Dressed in black jeans and a forest green puffer jacket, he says much of his day is about maintaining his sanity. “I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to not be seen,” he says. “It’s kind of annoying but the payoff is infinite.
If no-one finds out where you’re staying, if people aren’t following you as soon as you leave your house, if people aren’t waiting outside a restaurant if you have dinner there… then it’s great. People coming up to you in the street – that’s nice. But it’s just when people know they can make money off your life, that’s when it becomes difficult. They’re relentless.”
