In the first video answer, Pattinson explains why he was drawn to the script for the film.


Said he, “Initially, I remember reading the script and thinking I like the flow of the dialogue and stuff, and it was just different. It seemed like, in a lot of ways, the main characters in other movies where there’s a young guy as the lead, always seems like a vessel, they always have to be so naive and just ridiculously innocent so the audience can feel like they’re with him through the story, and Tyler didn’t at all feel like that. He felt like he was a very specific character.”

The answer is at the end of the short interview.

With all the positive hype surrounding both of Kristen Stewart’s flicks at Sundance, it got us thinking more about Robert Pattinson’s also blossoming and promising career, and what we can expect in Remember Me.


If you all remember, we heard that Rob’s acting was quite good in the upcoming drama costarring Emilie de Ravin.


So what, then, is worrying some suits who are busily involved in R.Pattz’s big-screen ambitions?


Says one of our studio moles:


“Kristen’s performance always pulls you out, whichever film she’s in. You forget that she even was in Twilight. Rob…not so much.”


Now put away your stakes R.Pattz lovers, this isn’t a dig at our boy’s acting ability. What apparently has a few execs concerned—at Summit, for instance—is that Pattinson’s Remember Me persona is quite similar to what many have already enjoyed Rob in (just look at the pics): the brooding, troubled outcast. You know, head down, heart troubled.


We could watch Rob read a phone book and not get bored, and that goes for Twi-hards who love Pattinson in anything, too.


What our studio insider tells us is just the littlest bit worrisome: that R.M. won’t bring in a new audience, which K.Stew apparently does with her upcoming film The Runaways.


In Rob’s defense, people have already seen Kristen in many mainstream versatile roles (Panic Room, Into the Wild, Adventureland), while Rob’s range is hidden in more indie movies like Little Ashes, which had a limited release.


What will be interesting to watch will be the box office in March. Kristen’s film, The Runaways, comes out March 19 while Rob’s movie Remember Me gets a release date a week earlier on March 12.


We don’t think either movie will bomb, but the roles that follow (or lead to a little golden statue eventually) could be impacted by these “after New Moon” movies.


And hey—don’t kill the messenger. Just passing along a li’l bit of info floating around the studio set that’s so manically preparing Rob to take over the world, post-Twilight.

Despite what might’ve been murmured around the forum rumor mill, the first screening of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – by “anyone out of editorial” that is – is happening now, according to a recent update issued by the film’s director, David Slade.

According to him, today is a “big day” as the first “director’s cut” is at “phase 1″ with the studio’s first screening of the film.

After months and months of reading Slade’s countless updates about the post-production process (which seems, by the way, incredibly taxing and tedious), it seems that things are finally coming to a head and the editing process is nearing completion.

A director’s cut of a film, of course, is not the final cut (and it probably won’t even be made available to the public). The final cut is usually reserved for someone in the studio, who can make a few adjustments here and there to make the film more presentable in the box office. Those changes, for the most part, are not usually drastic. (Obviously, with varying studio interests and agendas, that statement is a heavily case-by-case matter. Who’s to say how many changes will be necessary for Eclipse.)

For the meantime, though, this news means that things are progressing in the completion arena. While that doesn’t necessarily give us any indication of when we should expect the first trailer for the film (though prior speculations may still be applicable), it does mean that the film is that much closer to being finished and ready for the theaters!

Very exciting, huh? Oh to be a fly on the screening room wall . . .
