Thanks to his starring role in the “Twilight” movies, Robert Pattinson is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. But although he gave a good performance in the drama “Remember Me,” it didn’t perform as well as many thought it would have at the box office. Will Pattinson’s fans follow him aside from “Twilight”? Will he be able to gain new fans from outside the “Twilight” universe? We’ll find out the answer this weekend. Pattinson gives the best performance of his career in the movie “Water For Elephants,” which opens this Friday. Like “Twilight,” the film is based on a best-selling novel, and Pattinson’s terrific acting job is complemented by compelling performances from Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz.
When we spoke with Pattinson, he talked about working with his other co-star, Rosie the elephant; how he’s feeling more comfortable as an actor; and how he will look back at the “Twilight” movies now that “Breaking Dawn” is almost ready to wrap. Take a look at the video, and let us know if you’re looking forward to seeing Pattinson in “Water For Elephants.”
Although Robert Pattinson is currently promoting Water for Elephants, Pattinson recently admitted in an interview with Fox News that he wants to do a movie in Detroit.
In a recent interview with MyFoxDetroit, Robert Pattinson mentioned that he’s always wanted to film a movie in Detroit. Pattinson, who will also be seen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, stated that he was looking into doing something in the Motor City since it has a gritty quality that he likes. “There’s something about the city. I like harsh.” Robert Pattinson also admitted that Detroit “looks good, it’s got a good look to it.”
Check out the Robert Pattinson interview with My Fox Detroit below:
Your beloved Edward Cullen took a little break from Twilight last year to make Water for Elephants, an epic drama based on the bestselling Sara Gruen novel. That movie hits theaters on Friday, April 22 (who’s seeing it at midnight?), so Rob and co-star Reese Witherspoon turned up at the New York premiere tonight, to talk about the movie and their characters. When we asked Rob what he found most attractive about Marlena (Reese’s character, and the woman he falls in love with in the movie), here’s what he had to say:
Rob Pattinson: “Just her energy. She’s extremely charismatic. Especially for [my character] Jacob, being able to see that is amazing. He grew up in upstate New York on a farm, so you’re not going to see that many superstars!”
PS, when we asked him whether he thought it was weird to play a character named Jacob, he said:
RP: “I didn’t, until I was promoting the movie. Then I realized I’d set myself up for something!”
And PPS, he showed up at the premiere almost an hour early, so he could talk to all of the fans across the street, take pics with them, and sign autographs. Adorable.
It’s the same interview from Criativa Magazine , just with some more new quotes (the Royal wedding and a couple more) and things are not “lost in translation” anymore
Emmanuel Itier: How was it with working all these wild animals, and has your conception of circuses changed while doing this movie in the sense of how they treat animals? Robert Pattinson: I don’t really know how circuses themselves treat animals. I know a lot of circuses get a bad name for it, but none of the animals we had were from circuses; they were all film animals and stuff. I know how hard it must be. It must be just ridiculous because it’s relentless…because of the amount of injuries the animals get and stuff. For instance, with the horses — to teach those horses the tricks that they needed to know, it took months and months and months and months. If one of them goes down, there’s no back-up or anything. It’s going to take another six months to train a horse. It’s so precarious, running a circus so much. But working with wild animals, for me, was one of the things which I thought made the job easier. Even before we started, I was thinking it’s like doing a job where you’re just working with babies all the time, because the babies are going to do their own thing and you just react to the baby. I mean, if you’ve got an elephant in the scene and the elephant is kind of doing whatever it wants, it’s so easy to play anything because you suddenly have a trunk in your face or something, and then you’ve got to just make something up. No one expects the scene to be totally perfect because everyone has accepted that these are wild animals, and whatever comes will come. It’s not all like, “The animal’s got to hit its mark!” It’s never going to be like that. It made it very a relaxing set, in a weird sort of way.
What we wouldn’t give to have been on set THAT day!
Robert Pattinson continues his press tour for Water for Elephants by stopping by The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Wednesday, to discuss his, um, unmentionables.
The Twilight star revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that he had a wardrobe malfunction — in a pair of Ellen-branded undies! RPattz explained he was down to his last pair of underwear, and chose to wear a pair Ellen had recently given him on set.
He told the talk show host, “I only had one pair left and they were those ones (“Ellen” underwear). We were doing this big fight screen and for some reason I think the shape of my body, my back is too long or something. So my a** is constantly hanging out!”
He added, “Every single shot we were doing this big fight and every shot has these Ellen underpants. It came to a point where producers are calling up my agent going, ‘I don’t know what he is up to but I don’t like it!’”
Ellen rewarded him with a gift of (what else?) a basket full of Ellen underwear! The full episode airs Wednesday, April 20th.
From Fablife: At the Water for Elephants premiere Sunday night we interviewed the lovely Donna Scott, who plays Barbara in the movie. Without revealing too many spoilers, Barbara is one of the racier ladies lurking in the circus tents, and gets it on with a very drunk Jacob (Robert Pattinson). Donna gave us the deets on what it’s like kissing the “lovely” actor and told us that “every scene with Rob is an infamous scene.” Don’t we know it, Donna! As for shooting that one scene where things get a little hot, heave and naked between Barbara and Jacob, she says, “Rob was more uncomfortable than I was!” Awwww, how sweet. Clip above.
