New Interview with Cinemania

imagebam.com

Everybody is talking about the sex scenes...
The book is a great example on how to keep something censored, and at the same time erotic. It plays with people’s imagination. The sex scene is completely on the fans’ minds.But in a way it’s hard because when you do the scene, you need to show things, and not fade to black, or people would go nuts. It’s weird filming something people have been expecting for such a long time, knowing the expectations. I hope we do justice to it.

Your character and Kristen’s shared so many romantic times during the filming, especially the last day of filming.
The last day of filming in Saint Thomas was great. It was just Kristen and I. The only time we were able to film with a nice weather. It was literally the last day of filming, and we were filming a scene in which we’re kissing in the ocean, all night. So it wasn’t a bad way to say goodbye. Then everybody stayed to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful.

Can you share something about Kristen?
The only thing she likes to watch on TV is the cooking channel, especially when she’s on set. She has her TV on all the time in her make up trailer. That’s her only diva behavior (laughs); the cooking channel must always be on, any time, everywhere.

Do you have a favorite scene in this movie?
The birth scene is so different from the entire saga. It’s so harcore and gory, at least when we were filming it. There’s not way to tame it in the book. That was brave.

As far as I know, you had a nice time filming the scenes with Mackenzie…
For a long portion of the filming we had an animatronic baby. It was for the scene where Bella sees her for the first time. It was like Chucky (laughs) Chucky Renesmee (laughs louder).

But you also filmed with real babies right?
Yes, and I liked it. I like babies and filming with them. It’s especially funny because you’re trying a person that is like a statue the entire time. But when there’s a baby, nobody can be that tough, you can’t hold back your emotions and that’s what Edward is doing the whole time. Having a baby makes you more human. When you’re working with little kidsm they do whatever they want, so you have to improvise, which is cool.

With this fame you have and your relationship with Twilight, do you think it will be harder to get the type of work that you really like the most?
Of course. Before Twilight I did castings for so many things, and I was always left on the top 3. They gave the role to someone who was already more famous than me, and I kept thinking how unfair it was, so I thought the only way was to become more famous. But when you’re super famous, you get offered tons of bad stuff, in movies where they’re not even concerned with the cast. And if you haven’t done much work, directors look at you like an unknown and there’s not stigma attached to your name. It’s harder to get some roles sometimes. It’s weird.

So you’ve had doors closing to you…
If you’re a complete unknown, you have more chances. After Twilight, things are very different, depending where the money comes from. If there’s not a star attached, there’s no way that you can sel a movie, so that forces you to make a good movie. But if you don’t, it’s like “Since he’s involved, we need to get teens interested,” so they change the story, and you end up having that pressure. A good director will prefer not to deal with that stuff. But it’s true that if you find the eprfect role, everything will fall into place. But there’s less options. Now that I have a very specific image, it’s hard to find roles that fit into it.

That didn’t stop you from getting Cosmopolis.
It was amazing. I let my spiral of paranoia go out of control and I thought all the good directors would want nothing to do with me now. And then Cronenberg makes this offer directly to me. I had neve even met him before.. I had a grat time during filming, and I kept saying “Am I good enough? I don’t know what I’m doing,” and he said “why do you think like that? You are an actor,” and the only reason that happened to me it’s because I became this sort of celebrity, and I’m worried that people won’t take me seriously.

What did Cronenberg see in you that he chose to cast you?
Nothing. Just interviews. And he saw Remember Me. But this character looks like nothing I’ve ever done before.. When I first read the script, I thought I couldn’t play the character. I loved the script, but I was afraid. I said I called him in a week to find out if I wanted the part or not. I spent an entire week thinking how to say no. The only thing I thought was “Look, I can’t do this because I’m a coward and I don’t know how to play it (laughs really loudly). So I said yes, and told him I didn’t know what the story was about. He said he didn’t know either. So we started collaborating from that point on. I had never worked with a filmmaker that had so much confidence in himself. He just said everyday “let’s see what happens,” there were no rehearsals, nothing. It was insane.

We know you love to watch movies, what was the last movie you saw?
Red Riding Hood. That was the last time I saw anything. Going to the movies is impossible after Twilight. You’re trapped in a dark room and don’t know what is going to happen, and I get nervous and think of everything that I’m going to have to deal with after it’s over. That time there were 60 people outside the theater. Before I saw Inception. I went to a theater in the middle of nowhere and there were 20 paparazzi waiting for me outside. I couldn’t get rid of them all day.

Rob never let serious subjects like his insecurities affect his sense of humor and his desire to have fun in every circumstance. He talks openly about everything. We have now the image of an actor who, answer after answer, shows himself rebellious, unconformed and against the ideas Hollywood tries to impose on him. We shake his hand and he says goodbye. Outside, we find the best surprise ever: his dog, Bear, a half-breed he adopted in Baton Rouge. It looks like Bear takes after his master: simple, sweet. It’s the only thing that explains the reason why he jumped at us and licked out feet.


It's a really great interview! Only posted some of the best parts. Read everything at TwilightPoison

Translation (Rob's article) by Robert Pattinson Mom's


Robert Pattinson, 24 years old, alias Rob Pattz his surname, given by milions of fans, makes pleasantly american big mainstream productions, but he is english ,not american. And carries with him a sort of british mithology that he surely embodies. He is surely an inalterable gentleman when he offers his jacket to an american trembling journalist. And he has also an elegant way of hiding himself and not bragging, and staight faced he says (making an impression to the listener) ” my hair represents the 75% of my performance on screen”, to explain his personal success in the role of Edward Cullen, the teen vampire from Stephenie Meyer’s Saga.

His British blood also is visible in his romantic features and body, perfect made for a re-adaptation of Wuthering Heights, or a movie adaptation of Jane Austen’s novels. Big “girlie” eyes, surrounded by big but well designed eyebrows, red lips, long limbed body, he was aware and bet on that androgynous appareance: “I begun as a model at six years. While I was growing and I resembled to a girl, he tells, I’ve worked a lot, because everyone wanted boys that looked like girls, but when I grow up and I became more masculine I’ve lost all my works, and nobody called me anymore”

When he was a child, he was envied by his older sisters for his beautiful curls and his “bambi”’s eyes. “until I became twelve, they dress me like a girl and they introduce me as “Claudia”". A sort of traumatic experience, but it did not change his tipically british phlegm. ”at twelve I went to a normal boarding school, I discovered hair gel and I became cool” And he is still cool.

Cinema enters his life
Less you can say about him is that he is not megalomaniac. He became an actor making a tv series Nibelungs’ Ring and he really knew nearly nothing about acting. Her mother herself, a model agency director, did not believe in his future as an actor and told him to find other ways. And the beautiful Rob himself exceeds in depreciate himself, laugh at himself and cool humor : “when I was younger, I’ve been beaten a few times, but I was an idiot too, even if I think that that assoults to me were injustified, beacuse I started an actor career and I started also to behave the way I thought an actor had to behave, So this attitude was mistaken for a provocation, and so many people ended to have an invincible desire to hit me”

Did He suffered his blood to have Edward Cullen role?
No, Pattinson was on his way and made a little step in this direction by playing a short role in Harry Potter, that made him known to the general audience. Even after he made the first Twilight movie he was not convinced about his talent and he left the theather during the Twiilight Premiere, because he didn’t want to see himself on screen.

As prevedible, “Twilight became a worlwide phenomenon, and Rob became the ideal prey for paparazzi and young girls, exited by his scruffy hair and his marble figure. But, even in that occasion, Mister Pattinson stayed cool, and used his humor to face off that situation: “I went to an autograph session in a convention, it has been one of the most interesting experience at all. It was so bizarre seeing so many people paying for an autograph,I will always say that I felt I had to do more for them, a little dance or something else” Anyway Rob, is always a little scared about the crowd, but he will come to tems with
He vampirize the screen

Even if he seems not to put himself really in things, Rob has a charisma like few important people. In Remember Me, a romantic drama, made between two twilight episodes, you can see only him, Rob, smoking cigarettes, one after the other, tormented by the thought of his brother Michael suicide. Rob destabilized by his father attitude, a business man that neglets his family, Rob’s overflowing tenderness for his sister, a talented girl, dedicated to painting. In brief, If we had the “skirt day”, now Remember Me is the “Rob’s Day” Tyler Hawkins, the movie’s hero is a young and angry guy”, he explains,serious for a while. “when I was nineteen, I had a short period of rage, like I was confused”. Angry Like Jack Nicholson, his idol?
What we surely know is that Rob Pattz has the gift of ipnotize crowds, on screen and in the real life. Fans follow the adventures of the ipotetical couple that he made in the real life with his twilight co star, Kristen Stewart, but neither he or she confermed their relationship. He always says he is a bachelor. He says often that 99% of what tabloids say about him is false. So fans wait,and following his true love story, it seems that he is living his story with them too.

People like us, that see in this young actor, rock and roll style, sexy and different from any other actor, the true new blood of Hollywood

Robert Pattinson in Glossy Magazine (Netherlands) - Scans + Translation

A few mistakes, but a very good article

imagebam.com imagebam.com imagebam.com


What’s the secret of sex symbol Robert Pattinson?

Those who never heard of Robert Pattinson must have been living on a deserted island the past two years. Ever since the 24 year old British actor played Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga, there have been lots of women swooning over him. Glossy wanted to know: what makes this it-boy so sexy?

Tossled hair, sultry eyes and a hot body are THE ingredients for a teen-idol and Robert Pattinson has it all. But he almost didn’t become the star he is today. For the audition of Twilight, the first of the 4 Twilight Saga movies (based on the popular book by Stephenie Meyer) he made a video which never reached the casting director. Robert thought he was so bad at acting that he didn’t dare send it in. The fact that he eventually did get invited to audition was due to his part of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Cedric doesn’t make it to the end of the movie, but Robert's carreer started here.

The Brit wasn’t convinced though. Shortly after the audition he called his parents: “I told them ‘This is it, I’m quitting!’ and the only thing they said was ‘Okay’. That wasn’t the answer I was expecting.” Robert needed all the support he could get. The hard core Twilight-fans, called Twi-hards, weren’t that enthausiastic about Robert playing their favourite vampire.

Stephenie Meyer, the ‘spiritual mother’ of Edward Cullen, was convinced Mr. Pattinson could do it and made sure he got the part in the Twilight Saga.


Crazy

To prepare himself for the part, and to prove the Twi-hards wrong, Robert retreated for a while in the Ameri­can city Portland. He was so focused, he closed himself off. ‘I didn’t talk much during filming and never went out with the crew, but halfway through filming I thought: okay, people might start thin ing I’m really crazy’. Crazy or not, when Twilight hit the the aters in november 2008, no twi-hard doubted if Robert was the perfect Edward Cullen. A star was born! Robert became in no time the most desirable bachelor on the planet — fans call him lovingly R-Patzz.

But the fame didn’t go to his head. Rob was immediatly very concentrated for the second movie New Moon. David Slade, director of New Moon [note: this was Chris Weitz, Slade was director of Eclipse]: “Robert is very serious and will do anything to make his character believable/real. Not just for himself, but also for the audience.’

Who thinks Robert can only play the part of a sexy vampire is wrong. Between shooting the two Twilight Saga movies he did an amazing job shooting the movie Remember Me. ‘I love playing parts that are inspiring, I don’t want to just play parts that are good for my career.’ he says. Robert doesn’t just get inspired by acting: his other passion, music, inspires him too.

He started playing the piano when he was very young and when he was 15 he started playing the guitar. Unfortunatly he doesn’t get to make music much anymore because of his tight workschedule. “I do miss mak­ing music very much”. Fortunately he could live out his passion for music on the sound track of Twilight with the song Never Think.


Sexy, but modest

Ofcourse it’s not just his acting abilities that make Robert so succesfull, his sexy looks and bedroom eyes do help. His parents saw very early that Robert had a special ‘look’ and enrolled him in an model agency. Even though he got regularly booked, he didn’t believe in it that much: ‘I was a bad model. I was extremely tall, but I still looked like I was 6 years old.’

Now he really has to believe it: R-Pattz is a sex symbol. Last year Robert was voted sexiest man in the world by Glamour magazine and left Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp behind him. He also got a spot on the list of Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine and got voted best dressed man. But Robert stays modest underneath all the attention. His insecurity shows when he says he doesn’t understand all the commotion about his appearance: ‘One of my legs is longer than the other one, so I look like a complete idiot. And the person who proclaimed me Best Dressed Man never saw me in my sport outfit. The other day I was going to the gym and I realised that I wore my old sport outfit with my old worn down sneakers and on top of that I wore my dress socks, the ones you only wear with a suit.’ He still can’t believe that there is a Barbie doll that looks like him: ‘it doesn’t look like me, but like Zac Efron.’


Holiday

Fans can’t wait for the last two movies of the Twilight Saga and Robert can’t wait either. ‘It always feels good when shooting starts again and I can embody Edward again. Especially the development Edward goes through is a challenge. In the first two movies he was very distant, but in Eclipse he shows more emotions. Eclipse felt like a completely different movie, as if I was playing a completely different character.’

Robert changed from the insecure guy who was too afraid to send in his audition video and called his parents to tell them his acting career was over to the golden boy of Hollywood. We will surely see a lot of him on the big screen. Robert: ‘This job is like going on a holiday: each day I’m excited to go to work.’

FULL EW interview with Rob, Kristen and Taylor


The stars of the scortching-hot franchise gather to dish about the new Twilight movie, Oprah, their diverging careers, and (yes) their intense feelings for each other.
by Nicole Sperling

Kristen Stewart comes bearing a gift. The actress — who’s gangly, strikingly beautiful, and still only 20 despite having made movies for nearly a decade — has baked her interviewer a little loquat pie, which she carries in a mini-aluminum tin, like one you’d find in a child’s Easy-Bake oven set. Stewart and costars Taylor Lautner, 18, and Robert Pattinson, 24, have gathered to talk about Eclipse, which opens June 30 and is, of course, the third installment in the phenomenally successful Twilight saga. The movie, rated PG-13 and directed by David Slade, finds Jacob (Lautner) and his werewolf pals joining forces with Edward (Pattinson) and his vampire clan to defend Bella (Stewart) against an army of new vampires. At the moment, however, no one wants to talk about the movie — the darkest and most compelling of the franchise so far. They just want to try the pie, which features fruit from Stewart’s own backyard. “It’s not warm and there’s no ice cream, and those are really the two things that would make it exceptional,” she says. “But it will be fine.”

When Twilight hit theaters a year and a half ago, Stewart never would have baked something for a reporter. Back then, she was a nervous 18-year-old who fretted over every syllable that escaped her lips and seemed terrified of the publicity circuit. Today, Stewart and her costars exude considerably more confidence. The last two Twilight movies have earned more than $1 billion worldwide and supercharged their careers. Stewart is about to shoot an adaption of a Jack Kerouac;s ‘On the Road’, Lautner’s embarking on John Singleton’s action thriller ‘Abduction’, and Pattinson’s starring alongside Reese Witherspoon as a veterinarian in a traveling circus in ‘Water for Elephants’. The actors make an extremely tight trio: honest, protective of each other, and warmly familial. In person, as on screen, Pattinson and Lautner’s mutual affection for Stewart is the tie that binds.

-How do you think Eclipse ranks against the other two films?

Taylor Lautner: It is definitely my favorite.

Robert Pattinson: I don’t like it as much. {Laughs} Could you imagine if I meant that?

Kristen Stewart: It’s always hard because you’re so close to it. I run this really intense list of, like, checks and balances to make sure everything has come across. But I know I pulled less of my hair out {watching} it.

-Speaking of your hair, you definitely don’t play with yours as much in this movie.

Stewart: {Laughs} No, because it’s not my hair.

Lautner: Nope, it was a wig.

Stewart: I’m just going to be really honest right now: Yeah, I finally dropped my tic.

-The emotional scenes in Eclipse really play well, I think.

Stewart: This is the first time that Bella actually indulges Jacob and sees that there are two very desireable paths ahead of her and not just one. It takes kissing him to see that.

Lautner: {To Pattinson} Are you lifting weights?

Stewart: Actually, he has been.

Lautner: Seriously, he was just {flexing}, and the bicep was bulging.

-Is this to compensate for everyone talking about Taylor’s body so much?

Pattinson: It is a desperate attempt. I’ve got body dysmorphia. I am stuck with my belly.

-One scene fans have been dying to see takes place in the tent during the snowstorm. Jacob warms up Bella with his body because Edward is cold-blooded and can’t do it himself.

Lautner: The tent scene is probably my favorite, because it’s the first time Edward and Jacob are actually able to connect and understand each other.

-How many takes did you go through to get that scene?

Lautner: Two days originally to film it, and then a full day of reshoots.

-Why?

Pattinson: [The director] wanted it to be more erotic. Seriously.

Stewart: It’s true. In the book there’s a serious sexual tension. As I’m sleeping, Jacob is staring over my vulnerable body, and he’s naked in this f- - -ing sleeping bag because you heat up faster that way, and Jacob and Edward are leveling with each other.

-Taylor, you and Rob have some pretty serious confrontations in this movie.

Lautner: Some of those scenes were pretty hard for me. I think we ruined a couple of takes in front of the house and in the tent. It’s just, I don’t know, I have a hard time looking at him…

Stewart: Ha! “I have such a hard time looking at him”!

Lautner: {Laughs} I wasn’t finished. He and I were thisclose to each other — we are literally, like, an inch away — and we’re screaming at each other.

Stewart: And about to kiss…

Lautner: A couple of moments it felt like that.

Pattinson: Every single time we had to do a threatening thing to each other — for one thing, you always have your shirt off, and so in the tent scene I literally grabbed your breast. And it’s very difficult to remain in the moment. Also, in that tent scene, I can’t really get over the fact that the word thought sounds like fart.

Stewart: The word thought does not sound like fart.

Pattinson: It does.

Stewart: Maybe because you are an English person.

Pattinson: The opening line of that scene is “Can you at least keep your farts to yourself?” I couldn’t quite get over that.

-Taylor, you worked so hard to get the body for New Moon. Can you ever let it go? Are we ever going to see a paparazzi shot of you eating a dozen doughnuts?

Lautner: Yeah, hand me some of that pir. I will eat that right now.

Pattinson: I will eat the container.

Lautner: I cheat all the time. I’ve got to be a lot more strict while we’re actually filming, or when a photo shoot is coming up, but I’ll eat some ice cream, some cake.

-Rob, what’s the secret to not having to take your shirt off?

Pattinson: Don’t work out. I just kept telling everyone why I needed to take my shirt off in a scene, and everyone else had to think of reasons why I shouldn’t. “No, I don’t think so — Edward is much more chaste than that.”

Stewart: “He is modest. He is much more modest.”

Pattinson: Then I’d say, “No, seriously — I would like to wear a really tight tank top and have my belly come out of the bottom. And have some sweat on it, too.”

-Would you guys want to star in a big franchise again?

Stewart: I would have to love it like this.

Pattinson: It is just the promotion part, which is the hardest part. When you see your face on, like, toilet paper and stuff, that’s when you know you have to negotiate the water very carefully afterwards.

-Have you guys become more savvy in terms of how your face and your persona are represented out there?

Stewart: Well, you don’t have a lot of control over your persona. Trust me, I’ve had a massive amount of experience with that one.

-Interviews have always been fraught for you. What helps?

Pattinson: Knowing that it doesn’t really matter.

Stewart: And knowing that most people don’t give a f—.

Pattinson: I would do TV interviews and I would be terrified, thinking that every single word would be judged. And it’s really just, like, maybe two people on the Internet who are actually judging. The rest of the people are just watching, thinking, Oh, God, boring. You realize the {key to} marketing is just having your face everywhere, and that’s it. It doesn’t matter what you say.

Stewart: Just plaster it up. Every movie that has the home page at MySpace opens at number one. Every. Single. Movie. Because it’s just there all the time. It is in everybody’s face.

-So do you feel more at peace about being in the spotlight these days?

Stewart: I just feel more comfortable, more myself, and I feel less bare. I feel much more like nobody can take anything from me. Before, I felt literally like my chest was cracked open and people could just reach in and examine and pick at anything they wanted, and it just freaked me right out.

-You got a lot of criticism recently for comparing the intrusiveness of the paparazzi to rape. The comment got blown out of proportion very quickly, and you apologized.

Stewart: I’m so sensitive about stuff like that. That is the one subject that means a lot to me. I made one movie directly concerning it, and I made another one where my character has a horrible history of rape. I talked to a lot of people about it. I used the wrong word. I should have said “violated.” But I’m young and emotional. It’s just the way it goes sometimes. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I just feel like people got so excited once they saw that it was me. It was like, “Sweet! Let’s get her!” And then for the people to exploit it under the guise of being morally upstanding is disgusting — and it embarrassed me because I was a part of it.

-Did you see it all unfold and then think, I have to issue an apology?

Stewart: No, I was in Korea when it all got bad. My publicist called me and said RAINN had issued this terrible statement.

Pattinson: Who’s Rain?

Stewart: You know, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.

Lautner: I thought you were talking about Rain, that Korean star, or something. I was like, What did they do? They sicced Rain on you? The Ninja Assassin?!

Pattinson: None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first — who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy. And it’s quite good being part of these Twilight films because you have to give so many interviews all the time, you can defend yourself. That’s the only way. All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.

Stewart: See, if I said that? Crucifixion. You can say so much more than me. It’s insane.

Pattinson: That’s not true at all. When did I say anything {controversial}?

Stewart: You’re really good, but you could say, “I just took a s*** on the Queen’s face,” and people would be like, “Oh, I love him! I love him!”

Pattinson: That is so not true.

-Kristen, you obviously feel like you’re under more of a microscope.

Stewart: I’m a girl, and our fan base is primarily other girls. I would be the same way. I’d be like, “That b—- doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Pattinson: One of the things that really annoys me about the rise of all these celebreity websites is that anyone who becomes famous — people are so desperate to prove that {celebrities} are lower than the average person on the street. Why destroy any hope for anyone else? When I grew up, looking at movies like ‘One Few Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ and stuff, it made me want to do things. And you don’t want to believe that someone you admire….

Stewart: ….is an a–hole. Now they can’t wait to call you an a–hole when you’re not.

Pattinson: And any way that you can promote positivity — I know it sounds ridiculous — but it’s the best thing you can possibly do.

-Taylor, how do you feel about being in the public eye? You seem comfortable.

Lautner: I get nervous, for sure.

Stewart: He gets very nervous.

Lautner: Us together — it’s not good.

Stewart: You make me feel a lot better.

Lautner: I’m glad I do.

Stewart: I am so shocked that you get nervous that it instantly takes mine away.

Lautner: Yeah, it gets your mind off it. Like at the Oscars.

Stewart: We were both so goddamn nervous.

Lautner: I was standing backstage waiting to go out, and I could feel the veins in my neck just pulsing. I was like, Whoa, I need to loosen this jacket a little bit.

Stewart: Literally, you are standing there in front of….

Lautner: ….everybody you’ve looked up to your entire life….

Stewart: Your whole life. And they’re looking at you slightly baffled and saying, ‘What are you doing here?”

-What about when you guys were on Oprah recently? There was a story all over the place that Oprah talked to you backstage and demanded to know if you, Kristen and Rob, were a couple. And that you said yes. Did that really happen?

Stewart: {To Lautner} Did you see my interaction with Oprah backstage?

Lautner: Yeah. I witnessed it.

Stewart: She glided over to me — and she was strong by the way, really firm hands — and she said, “How are you?” I said, “Good.” She said, “Good. Are you nervous?” I said, “Yeah, I am, but I think I’m okay.” She said, “Good. We’ll have fun.” And then she just walked away. And that was the most I talked to her backstage.

-You didn’t tell her you were a couple?

Lautner: It never happened.

Stewart: Did {Oprah herself} actually say that? I don’t think she did. Of course, when we go on Oprah, someone is going to say, “We got the scoop!” No, sorry, they didn’t. I never told them anything. Why would I go tell Oprah that?

-Rob and Kristen, you’ve both been making other movies. Being in Twilight must be a pretty good calling card.

Pattinson: One of the best things is how fast you can get a film started. I don’t know how much longer it is going to last after the Twilight films finish, because now you can read a script and get it greenlit in three months. It’s crazy. It’s like having your own studio.

Stewart: I still can’t get ‘K-11′ made because I’m playing a boy in it. If I were playing a pretty girl, it would be done already.

Pattinson: How much is the budget? I can get it made. Let me produce it.

Stewart: Please do. There’s this project that I’ve been talking about forever, and it just hasn’t gotten off the ground. My mom and her writing partner wrote a script called ‘K-11′ that takes place in a jail, and I would play a man. But people don’t want to see Bella doing thta, so they didn’t want to raise money.

-Rob, your movie ‘Remember Me’ came out not long ago. Do you think it’s unfair when people say, “Remember Me wasn’t a blockbuster, therefore he can’t do anything besides Edward Cullen?”

Stewart: Like, “The Runaways was an enormous failure,” which it so wasn’t.

Pattinson: ‘Remember Me’ was the perfect movie to do for such a short period of time. And I really liked it. I guess maybe it could have been marketed differently. But I think it did really well for a small-budget thing.

-Is there freedom in doing a different role from Edward?

Pattinson: Yeah. And I think, Oh, I only have to do my job. I don’t have to think about how the poster should be.

-Did you find yourself thinking about the poster for Twilight?

Pattinson: Yeah, all the time. No one ever listens to me. {Laughs} It’s difficult now. On the first one we had so much more creative input, but now it’s so huge that it’s too big to steer. And if you want to say “I’m going to steer the whole Twilight machine,” you get fired. And the other thing is, it’s way too much responsibility. Why would you ever want that?

-Taylor, you’ve taken advantage of the opportunities that Twilight has given you. What has this ride been like?

Lautner: This was an amazing platform, and it gives you the opportunity to be picky and do what you want to do — and that is the actor’s dream, to be able….

Stewart: …to choose stuff.

Lautner: Yeah, and now I’m choosing projects that I’m extremely passionate about.

Stewart: {Fondly} You cute-ass motherf—er.

-What are you most excited about?

Lautner: I’d have to say ‘Abduction’, because I start in three weeks. I play a high school senior who finds a picture of himself on a missing-persons website and realizes his whole life has been a lie.

-What do you guys think of the career choices Taylor is making?

Stewart: It’s crazy how ambitious he is. I’m so different from him. We were on the plane and he said, “So what do you think I should do about this?” And it was concerning his massive movie, and I was like, “Dude, I don’t make movies like that. I don’t know.”

Lautner: It doesn’t matter. She’s an excellent person to go to for advice. I probably bug her because I go to her for advice so much.

Stewart: Taylor, I would do anything for you.

Pattinson: Okay, that sounded like the most insincere thing.

Stewart: See, you actually have a real moment and people just think that you’re lying.

-You guys are about to start shooting the two Breaking Dawn movies back to back. You signed on to this franchise before Breaking Dawn was written. When you read it, were you thinking, How is this going to be turned into a movie?

Stewart: Yeah, definitely. What is Renesmee going to look like? Is it going to be this little teeth-baby running around? It’s going to be weird.

Pattinson: {Laughs} “Little teeth-baby.”

Stewart: Yeah, but I think it’s going to be cool. One of the main objectives of the series is to get Bella to a point where she’s mature enough to make such a hefty decision, and she goes through a lot. In the fourth one, she is going to become a wife. She is going to become a mom. She is going to become an adult and a vampire. To do it so young, it needs to be believable. So I’m really excited about playing that.

-Some people read Breaking Dawn as very pro-life and Mormon because Bella decides to have her baby even though it’s endangering her life. Did any of that bother you when you read the book?

Stewart: No, because it made sense. Not wanting to give up the baby is about her holding onto that last thing that she would have to give up if she was not human anymore. Right after she and Edward sleep with each other for the first time, she says, “Oh, f***, I might want to be human for a little bit longer.” The baby is just an even more intense version of that.

Pattinson: I think people make up all these Mormon references just so they can publish Twilight articles in respectable publications like the New York Times. Even Stephenie {Meyer} said it doesn’t mean any of that. It is based on a dream.

-The Breaking Dawn movies are the last in the series. How do you feel about all of this coming to a conclusion soon?

Stewart: In terms of shooting them, they’re almost done. We’re going to be done by March.

Lautner: It will be so weird, the last day of filming that last movie.

Stewart: It will be sad, too. It’s been one of the most crazy, indulgent experiences as an actor, to be able to follow a character for this long.

Lautner: I think stopping will be very weird.

Stewart: It will just feel like a chapter has been closed.

Lautner: A big chapter.

Stewart: I’m going to be like, “But wait, there’s this scene…”

Pattinson: {Laughs} “I know how to do the tent scene now! I’m 30!”

NEW Picture from EW + New portion of the interview




As the highly-anticipated Twilight Saga: Eclipse prepares to descend on theaters June 30, stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner get together in L.A. for a frank discussion about the roles they play within the Twilight universe — both on screen and off. They also open up about their Oprah appearance, staying fit, and what it took to film a climactic scene in Eclipse, in which the three characters are forced to wait out a blizzard in incredibly close proximity.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: One scene fans have been dying to see takes place in the tent during the snowstorm. Jacob warms up Bella with his body because Edward is cold-blooded and can’t do it himself.

LAUTNER: The tent scene is probably my favorite, because it’s the first time Edward and Jacob are actually able to connect and understand each other.

How many takes did you go through to get that scene?
LAUTNER: Two days originally to film it, and then a full day of reshoots.

Why?
PATTINSON: [The director] wanted it to be more erotic. Seriously.
STEWART: It’s true. In the book there’s a serious sexual tension. As I’m sleeping, Jacob is staring over my vulnerable body, and he’s naked in this f- - -ing sleeping bag because you heat up faster that way, and Jacob and Edward are leveling with each other.

Taylor, you and Rob have some pretty serious confrontations in this movie.
LAUTNER: Some of those scenes were pretty hard for me. I think we ruined a couple of takes in front of the house and in the tent. It’s just, I don’t know, I have a hard time looking at him…
STEWART: Ha! “I have such a hard time looking at him”!
LAUTNER: [Laughs] I wasn’t finished. He and I were thisclose to each other — we are literally, like, an inch away — and we’re screaming at each other.
STEWART: And about to kiss…
LAUTNER: A couple of moments it felt like that.
PATTINSON: Every single time we had to do a threatening thing to each other — for one thing, you always have your shirt off, and so in the tent scene I literally grabbed your breast. And it’s very difficult to remain in the moment. Also, in that tent scene, I can’t really get over the fact that the word thought sounds like fart.
STEWART: The word thought does not sound like fart.
PATTINSON: It does.
STEWART: Maybe because you are an English person.
PATTINSON: The opening line of that scene is “Can you at least keep your farts to yourself?” I couldn’t quite get over that.

More from EW's Interview and the COVERS!



LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Did Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart confess their rumored romance backstage on “The Oprah Winfrey Show?”

That’s what one online report suggested in the wake of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” stars’ appearance (with co-star Taylor Lautner) on the show in May, but Kristen told Entertainment Weekly how things really went down.

“She glided over to me – and she was strong, by the way, really firm hands – and she said, ‘How are you?’ I said, ‘Good.’ She said, ‘Good. Are you nervous?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I am, but I think I’m OK.’ She said, ‘Good. We’ll have fun,’” Kristen told the mag. “And then she just walked away. And that was the most I talked to her backstage.”

However, Kristen also addressed something she did say – a recent comment in the media comparing paparazzi photographs of herself to rape, which she later apologized for.

“I’m so sensitive about stuff like that. It is the one subject that means a lot to me. I made one movie directly concerning it and I made another one where my character has a horrible history of rape. I talked to a lot of people about it,” Kristen told EW. “I used the wrong word. I should have said ‘violated.’ But I’m young and emotional. It’s just the way it goes sometimes. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I just feel like people got so excited once they saw that it was me. It was like, ‘Sweet! Lets get her!’”

Robert also defended Kristen, taking aim at the “little nerds… on their little blogs” who had attacked the comment.

“None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first – who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites,” he noted to EW. “That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy.”

However, Rob added that doing “The Twilight Saga” gave the cast plenty of interview opportunities – and chances to defend each other.

“That’s the only way,” he said of using interview time to dispel rumors. “All of us stick together as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.”

“You can say so much more than me. It’s insane,” Kristen said, chiming in.

“That’s not true at all,” Rob responded. “When did I say anything [controversial?]”

“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is due in theaters June 30.

Robert Pattinson Makes TIME Magazine's World's Most Influential People


Robert Pattinson
By Chris Weitz


I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I'm dead meat. That's the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It's certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who'd rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud's rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it's just worth pointing out that it'd be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren't Edward Cullen. That we haven't seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

Weitz directed The Twilight Saga: New Moon
