Three years and three films into “The Twilight Saga,” Robert Pattinson can see the finish line for the role that made him famous.
With the release of “Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” he knows that the whirlwind surrounding him and his cast mates is about to peak. then subside. He says he’s relishing the end, and he’s taking it all in: the attention, the career boost and the way his peers have coped with the sudden fame of a film series whose fans are nothing if not fanatical.
“I am constantly amazed that no one has gone totally crazy,” he says, chuckling.“Everybody has their own way of coping. We’re all trying to be artists at the same time this whole thing is going on around us.”
The 25-year-old British actor has worked with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz (“Water for Elephants”)and a former James Bond (Pierce Brosnan (“Remember Me”). But he says his contemporaries – his “Twilight” cast mates — “have taught me the most. They’ve grown up in the eye of the storm. I learn from how they’ve dealt with fame. For me, that’s obviously the most overwhelming … thing I’ve had to deal with. You learn a lot about the world and a lot about people when you and they go through something like this.”
That “something like this” has been in evidence since before the first film opened. Pattinson was an all-but-unknown 21-year-old, best known for a glorified cameo as Cedric Diggory in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” when he landed the role that would change his life the instant he was cast.
Here’s a review by KillerFilm.com about the Water for Elephants DVD:
Director Francis Lawrence paints a lush portrait of circus life during the Great Depression in the film adaptation of Sara Gruen’s novel Water for Elephants. It’s a gripping look at the gritty world behind the glamorous big top. And to survive in that world, you have to stand up for what you believe in.
We’ve made signs for those of you who will be attending the Breaking Dawn part 1 Premieres! You can print them and bring them with you to the events. Tip: take a marker (dark and light) with you and something hard for underneath the sign so Rob (and the rest of the cast) will be able to sign easily.
We’d love to see a pic of the signs at the venue and/or signed 🙂

Currently starring in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1, Robert Pattinson is nearly ready to close the book on the franchise that made him famous.
You’re a vampire veteran now? Typecast?
“Edward is such a specific character – a benevolent vampire. I just realised that my fly is undone! I forgot what I was talking about! Umm, I doubt if there’s too many ‘nice vampire’ scripts out there for me to get typecast.”
We get to see you in a swimsuit in the latest film…
“I wear a onesie! I look like an inflatable frankfurter! So much of the books are about Edward’s body, and I’ve managed to avoid taking my shirt off for the whole series, whereas in the book, it’s almost every three pages.”
