This interview sounds a little „off“. There are quotes from the Eclipse press conference, a few interviews and some new ones (like the ones about Uma Thurman).
I can’t say if it’s real or not, maybe some things were lost in translation. *shrugs“
ONCE AGAIN: ROBERT PATTINSON
Robert Pattinson is on the news again with the release of his most recent movie The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. In this interview young actor talks about Uma Thurman and Reese Witherspoon with whom he worked with in his two new movies, and how he works with his lover Kristen Stewart on set.
- According to what we’ve heard you were so hilarious on set that Taylor Lautner says you always had to reshoot because of your jokes.
Not really, I’m not funny at all (laughs), he is just kidding. These rumors are spread so that I won’t look too grumpy in interviews (laughs louder).
- But isn’t it like a caricature that you are a romantic vampire and that Taylor is a muscular werewolf? You should be laughing about this a lot when cameras are off.
Yes, in fact, it is funny but what’s funnier is that actually I have to be as muscular as he is (laughs). I can’t go to the gym, what can I do.
- What makes this new movie enjoyable for you?
I think the increase in the number of actors. In the first two movies there were only two couples and no more. This time cast is expanding and everybody has an important part in the story. This means a large cast with small roles. Also in this movie there are grandiose fight scenes as opposed to the first two movies. And this is a different stand for a Twilight movie.
Robert Pattinson: “Sometimes my reaction is panic”
There isn’t a single actor of the current time so idolized as he: “Twilight”-Vampire Robert Pattinson. On Thursday the new film starts, right ahead of its release he speaks about fame, elephants, and the “first time”.
Rob, you could be crowned the most famous actor in the world right now. How do you deal with this strangeness?
There are good and bad days. I often wish I wouldn’t react in such panic. But I believe I can separate jobs from private life very well. So far my ego still hasn’t been injured!
Currently, it is surely not simple to be Robert Pattinson. Can you believe what all has happened in the past two years?
Honestly, I have always said that it’s a subjective glimpse of the whole. For me everything feels the same as before, but there are a few aspects of my life that are completely different. I would just like to not admit that it has taken over my entire life. For myself, in my head, it’s the same as it was in the old days; I also have the exact same friends.
You are 24 and, as it is, can’t be anywhere without bodyguards at the door. Doesn’t it stink to you that you can’t lead a normal life?
Sometimes. But then I remember how my normal life was: boring.
Where do you live now, in London or in L.A.? Do you perhaps have a home?
No, I don’t. My “apartment” consists of three suitcases, out of which I live. Inside of them is everything that I need.
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.“
Twilight and Harry Potter have a lot in common. Too much perhaps, which is probably why I’ve never taken to either. Both are hugely popular movie series based on hugely popular book series, the final installment of which will be split into two different films. Both are fantasy adventures aimed at younger audiences with fans that fall into pretty much every movie-going demographic. Both are led by a cast of two guys and a girl.
But here’s where the similarities end: Nine years and six films into the Harry Potter franchise, it’s three principals — Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson — have yet to become major stars outside of Potter. Neither has Twilight’s lead threesome, set to return June 30 in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Unlike the Potter trio, though, people actually know the names Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart — whether they’ve seen a Twilight movie or not (thanks, in large part, to endless tabloid coverage).
But years from now, long after Twilight has joined Lord of the Rings in the annals of Hollywood, which of its three leads will have gone on to the biggest and best things.
Will it be Kristen Stewart? Playing Mary Lou in the upcoming Walter Salles-directed adaptation of On the Road is a good career move, but she has the aura of an actress destined — perhaps not entirely unintentionally — for an after-Twilight filmography of supporting roles in interesting but smallish films.
Or Taylor Lautner? He’s surrounded by solid, dependable talent in Abduction, the upcoming thriller directed by John Singleton and costarring Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello and Alfred Molina. But Lautner seems intent on sticking to the Hollywood mainstream, where box-office pull is the only measure of success, and one big hit — or a massive franchise — doesn’t necessarily mean there will be others.

LOS ANGELES – The “Twilight” series may have changed the lives of fans worldwide, but perhaps no one has been more affected by its success than the three stars of the series: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.
All became overnight sensations when they were introduced to the novel’s millions of fans as the faces of Edward, Bella and Jacob – the three high-school students with mystical secrets at the center of the story. Edward is a vampire, Jacob is a werewolf and Bella is the ordinary teenage girl loved by both of them.
Pattinson, 24, Stewart, 20, and Lautner, 18, went from bit parts to big stars with the first “Twilight” film. The young cast reflected on the ups and downs of newfound fame.
“Eclipse,” the next film in the franchise, opens Wednesday.
The best thing to come out of the ‘Twilight’ mania?
Stewart: It’s the same satisfaction that I get from any other movie; it’s just that so many more people are paying attention. I always say I make movies for the life experience – literally, you steal from the characters you play – and to know that that’s actually affecting 100 million not only little girls, but really spans the ages of people, it just feels good. It’s so different from anything I’ve ever experienced, so that’s definitely the best thing.
Pattinson: Presenting at the Oscars and stuff, it’s just kind of so surreal. … The control you’re given because of “Twilight’s” success is kind of incredible. It is an amazing feeling.
Lautner: It’s traveling the world in general and seeing this kind of fan support worldwide. We go to Sao Paolo and then we go to Mexico City, we go all over the world and we have fans there with the same amount of passion everywhere we go. It’s just amazing to know we have that kind of fan support behind us.
Not that long ago the names Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were just that, names.
But in 2008 came Twilight, the blockbuster movie series based on Stephenie Meyer’s books which launched a phenomenon and rocketed the two previous unknowns to stardom.
Two films and two billion dollars later, the hype around the box office hit is stronger than ever, the power of which Stewart admits can be overwhelming.
„It’s undeniable energy and that’s what I’m responding to usually and that’s why I get sort of so crazy,“ she says.
For Pattinson, the hype is signalled by the appeal of the Twilight brand.
„You look at like every kind of gossipy website or anything and it’s always got polls about Twilight, anything, you put Twilight in the headline and people are going to go to it,“ he says.
With Pattinson 24 and Stewart just 20, life has changed for these two stars, hounded by media and facing persistent rumours that link the pair romantically.
Pattinson has also been the target of some dubious contact.
„I’ve had a bunch of people say yeah man I met you at this thing… all the time. And you get a bunch of people that found your phone number somehow, it’s so obvious that they have somehow found it through nefarious sources.“ He says.
Before Twilight became a world-wide sensation, Pattinson was known only for a small part in the Harry Potter film series.
Stewart was recognised only for her role as the young daughter of Jodie Foster in Panic Room.
Now, however, they are household names, with series’ the third movie, Twilight: Eclipse, about to hit cinemas around the world.
But when it comes to how fame has affected those closest to him, Pattinson says things are fairly normal on the home front.
The vampire strikes back
As you’re neither Amish or a character from Lost (correct me if I’m wrong), we won’t do you the dishonour of introducing you to Robert Pattinson, 24 years old, the vampire that sparkles under the sun, the actor who was unknown two years ago but who conquered the Hollywood fortress and drives girls around the world crazy. You already know all that. You almost certainly know that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (directed by David Slade, director of Hard Candy), comes out in theatres July 7th, a mere seven months after New Moon. The vampire saga which is now worth more than a billion dollars at the international box office isn’t ready to hang up it fangs as the fourth instalment, Breaking Dawn, is already announced for November 2011. Pattinson is getting tons of offers and is currently negotiating an important turn in his career: become the new Johnny Depp or join Orlando Bloom and Hayden Christensen in the frozen aisle section. As he was finishing Bel Ami, a Maupassant classic and getting to beginning filming Water for Elephants, a Francis Lawrence drama (I am Legend) with Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz, R-Pattz got caught by Premiere for an exclusive interview.
P: The last time we spoke you were filming New Moon. Now one year later we meet again for The Twilight Saga Eclipse. I have trouble following it’s going so fast…
RP: Only two months went by between the filming of New Moon and Eclipse, during which I filmed Remember Me. Everything, went by so fast that I feel like I never really left Twilight. That being said, I still felt lost when I arrived on the set of Eclipse. I didn’t have any preparation time and it took me a few weeks to adapt.
P: What did you expect from David Slade and was he different on set from what you imagined?
