MONTREAL – The consensus is that Robert Pattinson has mastered the James Dean art of brooding as the sullen poster boy for the latest generation.
Pattinson’s heartthrob status has been defined by his portrayal of the conflicted vampire-in-recovery Edward Cullen in the popular Twilight film series, based on the Stephenie Meyer novels.
There was Twilight in 2008, New Moon last year, and Eclipse is set for release, to a great deal of anticipation, on June 30. Breaking Dawn, the finale, is expected to be released as two movies over the next few years.

Robert Pattinson is taking a break from his Twilight stardom to play a rebellious New York college student in Remember Me. In the indie flick, the 23-year-old gets to explode with rage, fall in love with a girl (played by Lost’s Emilie de Ravin) and go head-to head with his domineering father (played by Pierce Brosnan).
Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out what Pattinson had in common with his character’s search for identity.
Acting as therapy.
“I try and pick roles that will help me develop as a human being and I think I was going through a similar kind of experience as my character Tyler, which I guess you could call being rebellious. I thought just doing the film would actually help me to think about and discover things that would help me in my life. I was kind of using it as a therapy exercise.”

With his seemingly unwashed locks and 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,” Pattinson hopes to break away from the emo, teenage undead role with his latest project, “Remember Me,” which opens Friday. The drama stars Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin as 20-somethings falling in love while coping with family tragedy. Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper co-star.
Here, Pattinson, also an executive producer of the film, talks nude scenes, being idolized and what he fears most in life.
Q. Did you feel a lot of pressure choosing “Remember Me,” because 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.

He managed to displace the “God” in the expression “Oh my God”. It’s Robert Pattinson, the vampire Edward from the saga Twilight. Now, the fans of the actor scream “Oh my Edward” (OME!). To interview him is like having a birthday party; from taps on the back to smal bribes, that go from eternal gratitude, vanilla cupcakes (from fans trying to get seats for the screening of his new movie), to a 200 dollar bribe, offered (and not accepted) by a tabloid reporter who was at the door of the hotel, hunting for information on the british actor. In his super protected suite, Pattinson shows himself as a normal, sensible, eloquent and greasy haired guy. In Remember Me, he suffers a lot in the role of a College student, depressed by the suicide of his brother, who gets involved in a troubled romance. By the end of his interview with Época, the actor celebrates the fact that he bought, through Kindle, a complete colection of the works of Dostoiévsky. OME!

Drifting far from his Vampire mode in the Twilight films (but not too far), Robert Pattinson proves he doesn’t “suck” in a straight dramatic role and affectingly portrays a tortured young man with family issues who finds love with an equally wounded young woman in a romance underlined by past and impending tragedies. The name of Pattinson above the title will guarantee a large femme turnout for this brooding, PG13 drama, and although it’s no Rebel Without A Cause or Splendor In The Grass for a new generation, it has enough tender and genuine moments of youthful angst and romantic discovery that opening weekend figures should be sweet, word of mouth decent and a healthy afterlife on DVD assured.

Edward Cullen may be a world-class brooder, but the actor who portrays him, Robert Pattinson, actually enjoys a good laugh.
Pattinson certainly has much to be happy about these days. His career is red-hot, with the “Twilight” films having made him a multimedia sensation. He hopes his latest picture, “Remember Me,” which opens March 12, continues his career’s upwards trajectory. At the very least, it’s allowed him to do something he’s rarely had a chance to do onscreen: Smile.
“That’s one of the main reasons I wanted to do it,” Pattinson says of the film. “I had never played a normal guy. I’ve always done period stuff or fantasy stuff.”
Warning: This story contains MAJOR spoilers including the ending of “Remember Me.”

A huge thanks to Anke for translating this for us.
Translation by Anke
-concerning the plot: “Together (Tyler and Ally) they can get over their traumas and shake off the gosts of their past”
-concerning the movie itself: “deeply moving dramas that make this love story a very beautiful one”; “…but that´s not all of it: Remember me offers not just extraordinary dramas but also actors who are able to show this connection between tragedy and romance in a very convincing way”
-concerning Robert: “Robert convinces as a rebellious antihero”; “Not just the way he looks pushes him close to idols like James Dean. Even more it´s his courage to choose complex and authentic roles that catapult him into one line with the greatest stars of his generation”; “Robert rises the challenge to act next to highly skilled Chris Cooper, Pierce Brosnan and Lena Olin not just because he´s a hunk (rough translation);
-concerning the magazine´s final conclusion: Remember me is a romantic and emotional rollercoaster of great depth, including a tragic but also entertaining story written by Jenny Lumet (personal annotation: of course, saying “written by Jenny Lumet” is not completely correct as we all know, that Will Fetters wrote the original script)
