During the press conference today, Robert Pattinson admitted that he’s a bit of a control freak about his career:
“I have very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived and when…and to the point of ridiculousness sometimes. I don’t listen to anyone else, that’s why I don’t have a publicist at all, I can’t stand it when someone is telling me how to do something. It’s maybe a mistake sometimes. I like being, meticulous and its difficult as an actor to have that control.”
Because The Twilight Saga: New Moon is probably the most highly anticipated movie of the year, fervent fans – whether on Team Edward or Team Jacob – are practically salivating at the prospect of seeing their favorite heartthrobs on the big screen once the movie opens Nov. 20.
And since PEOPLE has gotten an early look at the film, now we can report on the top five aspects to New Moon that fans can eagerly anticipate. (Warning: Spoiler Alert!)
Jacob Black’s Body: Photos of Taylor Lautner’s amazing transformation from a scrawny kid to a rippling teen werewolf already have been making the rounds for months. But the first time Lautner rips off his T-shirt to reveal his muscled chest onscreen, the sight is still gasp-worthy. In fact, Lautner sizzles and smolders throughout New Moon as he walks the line between friendship and romance with Bella (Kristen Stewart). Though Bella’s heart belongs to Edward (Robert Pattinson), Lautner may steal Pattinson’s heartthrob status right out from under his pale nose.
Don’t post them here. Instead, go to Access Hollywood’s site, where you can submit questions to be asked in Access Hollywood’s upcoming interviews with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning.
In a new interview with LimeLife, Julia Jones (aka Leah Clearwater) talks about Rob on set.
“If you could ask one question about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart…what would it be? We know ours. Here LimeLife wraps up a two-week series with the gorgeous Julia Jones, who will make her debut in the Twilight saga as Leah Clearwater in Eclipse. Over the last two weeks Jones has filled us in on answers that Twilight fans can only hope for the chance to ask: on-set and cast secrets, how an actor lands a highly-coveted role in the series and how Twilight, as she said, changes lives.
For the final part of our series, Julia was gracious to answer one question for us about what it’s really like to work with her co-star Robert Pattinson…and she even opened up about working with Kristen Stewart. We were also so curious whether Robert Pattinson was like some other actors we have heard about about who don’t break characters, even when filming has stopped. Is he a hard-core method actor, only responding to people when they call him Edward? Check it out!”
Campbell Bower: Well, he’s into his music. He loves all kinds of music. I don’t know if there’s a tidbit I could give, a snippet of his life that I could give. He’s just a normal guy. I feel for him already, because people just want to know everything about him and feel like they own [people who are that famous]. It’s tough, man. It’s tough for them.
MTV: But Rob’s experience could be a preview of what’s to come for you after “New Moon.” Does that kind of fame concern you?
Campbell Bower: I don’t know. Probably not, just because of the character. I think people won’t be as in love with the character Caius as they would be in love with Edward. [Laughs.]
Kellan Lutz Q: We know there will be more Edward in the “New Moon” movie than there was in the book, but did you and the other Cullens ever try to lobby for more screen time as well?
Lutz: I think I really tried to. I tried to throw in my two cents, to see if Emmett and Rosalie could have a honeymoon again in Italy so we could be around and be part of the whole situation of Edward, Alice and Bella. [But the script] has to really follow the book, because the fans are so die-hard about what happened in the book. I mean, I had a line that was in the [“Twilight”] trailers that wasn’t in the book, and I heard some of the fans saying, “That’s not in the book!” Like, “What the heck is up with that?” So, in “New Moon,” the script is very similar to the book and the Cullens are in where they would be in, and they aren’t put in anywhere else.
MTV: It would be kind of cheesy if Edward and Bella just happened to bump into the Cullens in Italy.
Lutz: [Laughs.] Well, I thought it would be a fun idea. Because my character, as well as Nikki Reed’s Rosalie, we go away to college. We’re a year older, along with Jasper and Alice, so I think it could be a cool thing to maybe show a clip of them somewhere — a fun honeymoon, away from the rest of the family. But, no.
There are a few quotes from Robert Pattinson in an MTV article.
An excerpt:
And Fanning’s co-star Robert Pattinson can’t believe how his vampire-appropriate pale British skin has made him a sex symbol these days, according to “Extra.” “It’s funny. People were like, ‘He looks like a junkie,’ ” he recalled. “And now, ‘Oh, he’s so good looking!’ “
Pattinson also discussed managing to adjust to life in the public eye, something he’s been open about in multiple interviews since he found superstardom in “Twilight.” “I get nervous about everything. I get nervous about leaving the house!” he said. “Now I know it’s too late to change my name. I really wanted to change my name to have a stage name. Now if I change it, I just look really lame.”
