Emilie de Ravin’s role as Claire in the TV series “Lost” has lately caused fans to scratch their heads, but her turn starring opposite of Robert Pattinson in “Remember Me” has heads turning.
Namely, the pair share intensely intimate moments on the big screen, from their bold first kiss, to a (clothed) romp in the shower and beyond. When it came time to the film such physical chemistry, however, there were no moments or opportunities for Pattinson and de Ravin to “rehearse”: they just headed right in.
“When we [screen] tested together, there was no scenes involving kissing and obviously we didn’t test with a sex scene,” de Ravin laughed in her interview with HitFix. She mocked just how awkward such an audition process would become. “’We want to see another scene, so take off your clothes. We just want to see the chemistry, trust us, it’s O.K.'”

From Canada.com:
NEW YORK – As one of the high-profile stars in the popular TV series Lost, Emilie de Ravin has endured more than her share of silly questions from inquiring minds.
Usually, she tries to be friendly and forthcoming, but the Australian actress makes an exception during a recent promotional interview for the movie Remember Me, which opens March 12.
In the romantic drama, de Ravin plays Ally, a New York cop’s daughter who ends up falling for Tyler, a rebellious college student played by Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson. The characters develop a relationship – to the chagrin of Ally’s protective father.
That’s great, but what was it like kissing Robert Pattinson, she’s asked?
“Come on,” says de Ravin as she rolls her eyes to dismiss the teen-mag type of query.
She had more to say about her Remember Me portrayal and working alongside Pattinson. For instance, she will admit that her decision to do the Pattinson vehicle had nothing to do with the actor’s involvement.
“His name might have been on the cover of the screenplay, but I didn’t associate him with the movie,” de Ravin admits.
However, she learned to appreciate his talents and his drive to be an actor, not a teen sensation. “He’s a very sort of normal, grounded, down-to-earth individual, and he’s not one of these people who’s doing this for the fame,” she says.
Neither is de Ravin. Besides, she never expected to get the part. Her Remember Me character went through a series of re-writes. Finally, the producers decided to go with de Ravin a month before shooting started last year.
That meant de Ravin, on hiatus from Lost, had to take a crash course on changing her dialect from Aussie to the Queen’s style of New York speak. Luckily, she felt comfortable with the general Ally persona.
“Ally’s full of life and she has an attitude,” de Ravin says. “But Tyler (Pattinson) is the first person she’s opened up to, and she’s more in touch with appreciating life.”
That’s the key theme to Remember Me, despite the love affair, the family tragedies and the emotional turmoil of loss.
“I think there’s a big message in the film: not being fearful of life,” de Ravin says. “I thought about this after reading the script for the first time, and I think it remains the main part of the film.
“The movie says, ‘Life is so hectic, and it’s so go-go-go, that it is important to take a second and think, ‘OK, I’m here today,’ and just appreciate the day for what it is.”

We’ve already posted the Rob one but here it is again with the others. From Moviefone
There’s no mistaking Tyler Hawkins for Edward Cullen.
Tyler — the young romantic ‘Twilight’ heartthrob Robert Pattinson portrays in the new drama ‘Remember Me’ — is still brooding, but more in a Holden Caulfield, disenfranchised upper-crest New Yorker sort of way (rather than, you know, troubled by the anxieties of blood-lust and immortality).
Pattinson and co-stars Pierce Brosnan,Emilie de Ravin and Chris Cooper, plus director Allen Coulter and screenwriter Will Fetters, hit New York recently to talk about the Manhattan-set drama. And since, well, we had a feeling the masses of R.Patz fans might be just a little bit enthused to have their existence officially acknowledged by the actor, we opened up the floor for fan-submitted questions.
The gracious Pattinson played along, answering questions about whether or not he’d ever consider playing James Bond (“I don’t know if I’d be capable of it, I think you need to be pretty fit for that”), the awkwardness of love scenes, his acting inspirations (“Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Gosling“) and what he could never give up (“Beer”).

Thanks RobPattzNews for the tip
TeenHollywood: Okay, obvious question. How did you like working with “the heartthrob”?
Emilie (laughs): Is that his new name? It was great, we get along really well, had a really fun time, also just sort of shared the same amount of passion for this film and everything felt very natural and unforced. On set, we spend a lot of time beforehand and during just going through the lines and talking about the characters and maybe things we hadn’t noticed and talking and developing a relationship, and also just getting to know each other as people, so it was that comfort level too, which I think helps a lot.
On set it didn’t feel ever like we were actually reading a scene, it just felt like we were talking and I was listening to him, and observing and reacting however Ally would, so that was pretty cool and doesn’t really happen a lot.
TeenHollywood: You mentioned paparazzi and barricades. You are an established actress with plenty of fans of your own but how does it feel to be suddenly thrust into the spotlight when your leading man is one of the most popular young male stars today?
Emilie: I don’t know, in general I’m just really just excited about this film and passionate about it, so I guess whatever comes with that is good. It’s nice to be promoting something that I genuinely love.
TeenHollywood: And the love scenes…..?
Emilie: Ah, yes. Me and Zeus
TeenHollywood: There had to be screaming, fainting female fans around.
Emilie: Really, fainting? So they have to have medics at the theatres now? That’s hilarious. As I was saying before, everything with us in every way was just very natural and calm, partially obviously to do with us getting along and we worked on things and just had a very good comfort level.
But, also our director Allen (Coulter) kept everything just so together and calm and you always felt comfortable. He did an amazing job on the film, but also just an amazing job interacting with people, and talking to people and letting everyone know what’s going on, and taking that time if you wanted to talk about a scene, nothing was like, ‘Oh, no time for that,’ There was always time.
TeenHollywood: Both you and Rob were dealing with the issue of violence in this film. Coming into the project, did you feel that the lasting impression this role has left on you (is violence)?
Emilie: Well, Ally’s attitude is just really not being fearful of life and no matter what’s happened you can’t change the past. Not to forget the past, but not to live in the past. And I think she learns this even more through Tyler in that respect. I think she already had the attitude of living every day to its fullest and really appreciated life and she was stepping back and realizing and loving the people around her.
So I guess that’s left an impression on me. Life these days is so go-go-go-go-go, I think a lot of us forget to stop for a second and just appreciate the people around you, your loved ones, and just life.

Plenty of Twilight fans would kill to lock lips with their beloved Edward (Robert Pattinson) but Aussie actor Emilie de Ravin is the first to share a love scene with Pattinson in a new film.
The 28-year-old has spoken of her fondness for her co-star Pattinson, although she insists it was all work and no play when they were on the set of Remember Me.
“Robert’s a great guy. We spent a lot of time getting to know each other and trying to understand our characters, who are quite complex,” she says.
While the movie is a vehicle for Pattinson, many US critics claim the 28-year-old Melburnian outshines her high-profile co-star.
De Ravin insists she’s no overnight success, after moving to Los Angeles a decade ago and successfully auditioning for the teen drama Roswell. Since then she’s been in regular work and was married to actor Josh Janowicz (they separated six months later) but she still misses Australia.
“Los Angeles is a weird place. It took me a while to find my comfort zone,” she says.
She doesn’t hang out with the Aussie actors based in LA and spurns the city’s renowned party circuit.
“I spend most of my time watching movies at home, eating nice food or just going for a hike. I explored the party scene a bit when I was younger but I don’t know how people do it for years and years,” de Ravin says.
