There is an elephant in the room, metaphorically. He is a most handsome, most famous, most perplexing elephant. His name is Robert Pattinson, a superstar among Twi-hards who follow his every breathless, bloodless moment in the Twilight series.

But „the room“ is an American indie film called Remember Me, beautifully crafted with an air of thoughtful melancholy by director Allen Coulter. This is the story of a New York university student estranged from his wealthy father, in trouble with cops, and intrigued by the daughter of one detective who has already smashed his face in during an alley fight. The film just debuted on DVD following its modest theatrical run, timed to coincide with Friday’s release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

In Remember Me, Pattinson gets to play a real human being in a romantic drama populated by other functioning humans. They are flawed, complex, interesting people played by Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Lena Olin, wonderful child actress Ruby Jerins and Australian discovery Emile de Ravin as the object of Pattinson’s burning desire. No one drinks blood, although this saga is rife with tragedy.

Coulter, a New Yorker, is on the phone explaining how Pattinson, already cast in the first Twilight, was eager to find an antidote — something radically different — even before its release. Executives at Summit Entertainment, producers of Twilight, were looking to help out.

„Honestly,“ Coulter recalls of an early luncheon meeting with Pattinson, „he was not known, Twilight had not been released and there was no way to see it. We just knew he was interested. Sitting in front of us was a guy who was scruffy, intense, charming, unpretentious.“

Remember Me is available for pre-order on Amazon with a release date of June 22, 2010.

Robert Pattinson talks to us about his new film, Remember Me, what appealed about the character and its themes and working with Pierce Brosnan as his father. He also discusses how he chooses projects outside of the Twilight movies, and why brooding is a new term for him.

What did you like about the script for Remember Me?

Robert Pattinson: I’d read tons of scripts over the summer, after I did Twilight – I mean hundreds… and everything just seemed exactly the same. This one initially stood out in the way the dialogue was written: it just seemed much more naturalistic than most things.Tyler as a character – it seems that most movies which have a young male protagonist as the lead have to be either a virgin, or have to learn everything during the movie, or they always go through the trials of the movie and end up a different person and they’re completely fine afterwards.But Tyler starts off with a lot of baggage and a very full and developed character, and ends up being developed in a slightly different way, rather than: „Oh I’m fine now!“ You just never see that in films very much, especially for young people’s parts.

How was working with Pierce Brosnan as your father?

Robert Pattinson: I never, ever would have thought initially it would have been someone like Pierce playing Charles. I think he has an innate likeability to him, as soon as you meet him he’s very, very charismatic. Charles, on the page, was someone who’s very domineering and quite a negative character, and Pierce just by being Pierce can change the whole dynamic of it, which made for a much for interesting relationship. He’s a really nice guy.

His latest film is “Remember Me,” in which he plays a hard-nosed New York cop from Queens who clashes violently with his college-student daughter’s rebellious boyfriend (who happens to be played by that handsome young star of the moment, Robert Pattinson).

Cooper, who is openly critical of young actors who seem to relish red-hot celebrity more than the precise, demanding work of acting, had a lot to say about his co-star Pattinson during a recent press junket for the film.

Mainly, that Pattinson is no prima donna.

“Robert is learning the ropes,” said Cooper, whose squinty gaze and no-nonsense manner could certainly intimidate any young actor. “He’s relatively new in the business. What he’s doing is making some good choices, I think. I think he wants to be a serious actor, and he’s a lovely guy. So realizing what he has to deal with, all the demands of the `Twilight’ popularity and the distractions, I think he’s handling it amazingly well.”

With paparazzi and groupies descending on the shooting locations in New York every day, Cooper admitted to being occasionally aggravated by the distractions that came with Pattinson’s presence.

“But Robert was a consummate professional,” Cooper said. “He always did his homework and came to the set prepared.”

katespencer: Just interviewed Robert Pattinson. Sweet, soft spoken, and hair in full effect. The room melted.

BreanneNYC: I can officially confirm that Robert Pattinson messes with his hair even more than imagined. I know you’re swooning.

mikeavila: I’m willing to bet my intv with Robert Pattinson was the only one he did all day where Rocky Balboa was mentioned more than Twilight. In fact, the T word was not mentioned once in my chat with him. And I’m strangely pleased with myself for that. Hey @CarltonCuse, Emilie de Ravin was all set 2 spill the beans on #LOST but was scared off by the sniper u have across from her hotel. Pattinson talked about playing a normal guy (for once) in RM, boxing movies, playing a Comanche in his next film, and asked me if I culd set him up w/a nice girl who hangs out on Twitter. Any1 interested??

Пoздравления за филма. Изглежда фантастично. Какви бяха първите ти мисли за тази любовна история?
DE RAVIN: Влюбих се в нея в момента, в който я прочетох. Това е един от малкото сценарии, които прочиташ и си мислиш „Бих убила за роля в този филм“.

Имало е около 180 актриси, които са били прослушани за тази роля, и ти я получи. Как се чувстваш за това?
DE RAVIN: Страхотно е. Имаха различни виждания затова как да изглежда Али и накрая тя е съвсем различна от първоначалния замисъл (смее се). Щастлива съм от това.

Каква беше реакцията ти, когато разбра, че Пиърс Броснан и Робърт Патинсън са част от проекта?
DE RAVIN: Това прави нещата още по-хубави.Целият каст е много талантлив. Пиърс играе баща на Роб, Крис Купър е моят баща. Лена Олин е невероятна, освен това участва и прекрасната 11 годишна Руби, която е сестрата на Роб и която е сладурана и много талантлива. Работехме заедно много добре, което е много трудно, когато става въпрос за семейства.

Филмът явно е много интензивна емоционална история. Можеш ли да ни кажеш малко повече?
DE RAVIN: В основата си това е романтична трагедия. Моята героиня и героят на Роб са преживели семейни трагедии в миналото си, срещат се и неочаквано се влюбват, като някои обстоятелства могат да ги разделят. Всичко е за това как трябва да се пази и оценява всеки момент, който прекарваш с хората, които обичаш, защото не можеш да се върнеш назад.

Защо според теб хората харесват толкова романтични трагедии? Те са толкова трогателни…
DE RAVIN: Да, трогателни са. За този филм специално мисля, че става въпрос за реалността на историята, хората могат да я отнесат към нещо трагично, случило се в техния живот. Не се говори за филм, направен по пухкав начин, каквито мисля, че много истории са. Много е смел, много е откровен и знаете ли, особено връзката между Tyler и Ally. Можеш да кажеш: “Да, била съм в такава връзка преди. Точно така е.” Няма това перфектно “първи път това и първи път онова”. Всичко е много земно и истинско.
