ESQ: You’re not the only franchise star transitioning to more artsy films. Do you feel a rivalry there? Ever see Robert Pattinson getting great roles and think, He was once the kid in the background of my scenes at Hogwarts?
DR: With Rob, I look at people and I think it’s easy to spot the ones who are in it for the right reasons, who want careers with longevity. What’s interesting about mine and Rob’s scenario is that Potter and Twilight are what made us, but Jennifer Lawrence had an Oscar nomination before Hunger Games. Mentally, we’re rooting for each other. Franchises aren’t to be avoided. They can be exciting and they give you opportunities to do other films. And it’s always pleasing to see it’s possible to come out of a franchise, have a career, and be respected, when you see these other actors.
What’s it like to beat the likes of Robert Pattinson, Brad Pitt and George Clooney to the title of Total Film’s Sexiest Actor?
“It’s insane. It basically doesn’t make any sense. When I was a teenager, my sister had a poster of Brad Pitt from Legends Of The Fall on her bedroom wall. I also thought it was generally accepted that George Clooney was some kind of gold standard? And doesn’t Robert Pattinson inspire mayhem and delirium wherever he goes?I suppose my question is: Are you sure? If you are sure, then I am very flattered. VERY. Thank you, ladies. You are women of impeccable taste and style. My god, you know how to make a man feel good.”
For series author Meyer, there was no joking about the conclusion. It was bittersweet, especially since she’ll likely never work again with leads Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.
“I’m a hands-on mom, and these kids really feel like my children in some ways,” she said.
She’s probably met her fair share of celebrities, but no one has impressed Amelia Lily quite as much as Robert Pattinson.
The 18-year-old singer has admitted that she ‘couldn’t stop staring at him’ when she came face-to-face with him at the ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part Two’ premiere in London last year.
When asked by OK! magazine who her dream date would be, Amelia replied: “Robert Pattinson. At the ‘Twilight’ premiere he was inches away from me.
“I was getting interviewed and all these journalists were laughing at me because I couldn’t stop staring at him. He was getting interviewed and I didn’t want to distract him, but he was beautiful.”
Naomi Watts who said that, when the shooting of this biopic about Gertrude Bell should start in March.
With a casting including Robert Pattinson as Lawrence of Arabia, Naomi Watts as Gertrude Bell and Jude Law in a undetermined role, QUEEN OF THE DESERT was likely to catch our intention , our curiosity andour impatience . Especially since the director is Werner Herzog. One of the greatest director of our time who, for the previous years, was more busy doing his excellent documentaries than shooting his movies.So to see him going back to shoot feature films , four years after My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done ( never released in France) and three years after the crazy Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, was a real delight.
However QUEEN OF THE DESERT won’t finally be shot very soon, even if the first steps of the cinematography should have started in March . It’s Naomi Watts who revealed those discouraging news about the project, first when she declared to E ! Online : « It’s still a way’s off. I don’t know yet. Hopefully, it will happen. I just can’t travel again right now because I did a lot of traveling last year. It’s been a big year and it’s time for me to be home with the kids.” » She also told MTV (via The Playlist), while promoting TWO MOTHERS at Sundance film festival “we’ll see if it happens later this year or next year “. Moreover, she assesses that Robert Pattinson wouldn’t be 100% confirmed for the casting…
We’ll keep our fingers crossed and hope everything’ll be fine. Don’t forget QUEEN OF THE DESERT is about the work of both Lawrence and Bell at the beginning of the 20th century to reinforce Hachemites’ power in Jordan and Irak. They did it in order to help the French and English interests against the Ottoman Empire in this area.

Hollywood Life caught up with Rob’s The Rover costar Guy Pearce, while he was at Sundance promoting his latest film “Breathe In.” He had plenty to say about Rob!
“He just seems like a bright and sensitive kid,” Guy tells us. “So I just think he’s really right for the role.”
We told Guy, who has starred in movies like The Kings Speech, Memento, Lawlessand the upcoming Iron Man 3, that we bet Rob thinks it’s pretty cool to work with such an experienced actor.
“Um I don’t know, hopefully he thinks so!” Guy says. “I think it’s about collaborating and all getting on the same page. It doesn’t matter how experienced or inexperienced someone is, you hopefully just all understand each other and realize you are all on the same film together.
We can’t wait to see them together on the big screen.
