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.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m now a fan of Robert Pattinson. He was sweet and shy in person, and he had such honest vulnerability.
When I interviewed him for “Remember Me,” we talked about:
*** His involvement with the film (apparently, they offered him “Remember Me” prior to the first “Twilight” — after “Twilight” came out, he could have easily said no to “Remember Me,” but the actor was true to his words, and he really loved the script!)
*** His character, Tyler
*** Working with Ruby Jerins
*** How he identifies with the character

Fear not, Twilight fans. This June, Robert Pattinson will be back in theaters as Hollywood’s hottest vampire, Edward Cullen, in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
Meanwhile, you can catch him making love and war as troubled college student Tyler in the indie drama Remember Me. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out why Pattinson would like to be more like his character, who doesn’t hold back his emotions.
The dating game.
“When it comes to the opposite sex, I’m not as fully confident as the guy I play. I don’t even remember the last time I asked someone out on a date, like, just went up to them and that’s the first thing I did. I’m much more self-conscious and not wanting to fail. So I tend to hold back.”
Ditto with unleashing his macho side.
“I related to Tyler in that I wish I could have done things like he did when I had the opportunity. There is something quite satisfying about being a little bit more reckless and even fighting. It’s quite cathartic to just sort of randomly start hitting someone. It was fun kind of, letting all your rage go on the set. We had this big scene where I punch out some guys. It went fine and nobody was really hurt at all. But, at the end, I was like doing this thing where I was hitting myself in the arm, sort of pumping myself up. They cut it out of the movie, but I punched myself so hard that I was in a lot of pain for the rest of the shoot. It was the most stupid thing I’ve ever done.”
He’s felt the pain before.
“I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked. It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me.”
What he learned from Pierce Brosnan.
“We went out to dinner in a restaurant full of all these guys who looked like bankers or brokers. They didn’t recognize me, but they recognized Pierce. And he said, ‘Notice those people looking over?’ I’m sitting there getting more and more self-conscious, even though I didn’t realize they weren’t looking at me. Suddenly, Pierce got up and introduced himself to everybody in the restaurant. At first I was like, ‘What are you doing? You’re like completely insane.’ But it worked. Everybody just relaxed and stopped staring and you could tell they were going to go home and say, ‘Pierce is such a nice guy.'”
No problem with being compared to James Dean.
“I think he was like the most influential person for young guys, especially actors, in the last 50 years. So yeah, I mean, I’m not ashamed to say I am very much influenced by him.”
Facing up to the pressure of the box office.
“It’s like a kind of a monster thing. The more people think they know you, the more you’re identified with a certain kind of role. People always used to ask me about typecasting and I never had to really worry about it. You think people will judge you by your work. But the truth is, it’s about whether the film you’re in makes money or not. And if it’s not making money, they’re like, ‘Oh, he’s over.'”
His ultimate goal.
“You keep trying to make your name stand for something other than just like meaningless celebrity. It’s a difficult battle, but I think people like Johnny Depp have done that. He’s not judged by his public image, it’s just his acting that counts. To get to that place takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hiding.”
It’s the same interview as the one found here except this one isn’t translated.
Robert Pattinson keeps a safe distance from the hype in a quest to prove his post-vampire cred, writes David Michael.
‘I don’t really know how I would want to be remembered,” Robert Pattinson says of an underlining theme to his new film, Remember Me. “In a lot of ways, I’d prefer to not be remembered and just completely wiped clean from memory.”
Pattinson’s reticence about being remembered is understandable, given the past 12 months of media coverage of the actor has been limited to the celebration of his good looks and the stardom afforded to him due to his portrayal of the lovelorn vampire Edward Cullen in the phenomenally successful Twilight film series.
For Pattinson, such adulation would fall short of a fitting epitaph. For him, fame is not the name of the game.
When S meets the 23-year-old in London, the shy-natured actor sports the distinct incognito combo of baseball cap and bushy beard. If it’s a little overkill in terms of diffusing his sex-symbol image, the practicality of being less recognisable to the rabid legions of teenage subscribers to the cult of “R-Patz” is understandable.
Despite turning his back on the prospect of university at the age of 17 to take up acting after dabbling at his local theatre group near the family home in Barnes, greater London, there’s no doubting Pattinson’s level-headed smarts in trying to dampen the inferno of attention that engulfs him.
He turns down constant advertising endorsement offers, front-row invitations to fashion shows and reportedly even the offer of a record contract by music mogul Simon Cowell, to cash-in on his lesser known musical talent. Pattinson is keen to temper the fickle nature of success rearing its head, signs of which he’s already seen with the release of the second Twilight film.
“I didn’t like the way New Moon was reviewed,” reflects the actor. “When something is so hyped, it’s inevitable there’s a backlash against it.”
Now, the actor has little to fear in terms of any personal backlash from fans. It’s something he hopes to avoid by placing increasing importance on the films he manages to squeeze in between shooting the vampire franchise. “Most independent films are never going to get made,” he says. “But if you have the financial cachet behind you, you can get it made just off your own back.”
Shot between New Moon and the forthcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the tragic family drama of Remember Me is a prime example of that. Taking place in New York on the eve of 9/11, Pattinson plays the rebellious Tyler, who – haunted by the suicide of his older brother and emotionally frustrated by his distant workaholic father (Pierce Brosnan) – finds kinship with Ally (Australian actress Emilie de Ravin), who herself has suffered the loss of her mother.
“My main attraction was to play a role close to myself and because I’ve never played a normal guy,” says Pattinson, who was hands-on in the development of the film from beginning to end.
“I tried to make it about the point in your adolescence when you’re so focused on being an individual and you don’t want to accept just being part of the world.”
Despite Pattinson’s best intentions, the romance at the heart of the piece, although pleasing his fan base, hardly offers a departure for the actor.
However, things will be notably different in his next film, Bel Ami, which is being made in London. He plays the social-climbing philanderer Georges Durey of Guy de Maupassant’s 19th-century novel.
“He’s a guy who hates the entire world and just uses women to get money,” Pattinson says of his character, who enjoys romps between the sheets with women played by Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci.
“I thought it was quite a funny little story after doing all these romantic things.”
The hard yards for Pattinson have just begun but rather than believing his own hype, a guilt complex about his good fortune has given him sobriety beyond his years.
“You have to earn your luck,” he says. “I am pretty sure in the next 10 years I’ll be working every single day to kind of make up for this.”
Remember Me is released on Thursday.
Leonardo DiCaprio has little to worry about these days, having long gotten over the career bump that was Titanic. Up to that point, the young turk was carving out a career as a beautiful, beguiling character actor. Suddenly, he was a star. His previous outing, Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet lit the fuse, DiCaprio suddenly a pin-up of every young girl’s wall. The tragic role of Jack in Titanic was enough for the young Leonardo DiCaprio’s career to explode. To the point where the 23-year old actor couldn’t step outside his door without the paparazzi photographing his every move. And the world constantly contemplating his next move.
A bit like Robert Pattinson after Twilight broke. Only even more mental.
“I can see it happening with Robert Pattinson, absolutely,” laughs DiCaprio, “and it brings back such happy, and crappy, memories. Your life isn’t your own when that kind of stardom happens, and you have tabloids every day making up stories about you.
“It’s not exactly what an actor dreams of, because your anonymity is gone.”
Suddenly, you’re Elvis, and that means playing someone else for an audience is nigh on impossible. DiCaprio addressed the issue by playing a variation of himself at that time in Woody Allen’s Celebrity, but when he tried to actually act in 1998’s The Man In The Iron Mask and 2000’s The Beach, audiences just wanted more Jack. Or more Romeo. More Leo.

Last week I got to interview Robert Pattinson for his new movie Remember Me. Since he’s answered every possible question regarding the Twilight franchise and his other upcoming projects, what I decided to do was ask the people who follow me on Twitter to supply me with questions. While I knew I’d get a few things to ask…I was not prepared for the amount of emails and tweets that would be sent my way. I was blown away.
Since so many of you asked about certain things like would he do a commentary on the Remember Me DVD and what was up with his music, I didn’t single out any one person when I asked the questions. Just know I read every single email and tweet you sent in. Saying that, I mentioned who provided me with the first question, and we also talked about what he’d like to do if he had a free day in New York City and will he ever get into social networking. If you’re a fan of Robert Pattinson, I’m confident you’ll like this interview as I made sure to ask a few things that haven’t previously been asked.
