Is your character in RM the closest interpretation of your on personality?
No. I think it’s impossible to represent yourself being fully aware of what you’re trying to do. I try to choose characters that are not like me at all. The more unknown they are to me, the better I can play them because then I don’t feel vulnerable.


Do you like the tortured characters?
Those are the ones that I’m being offered. Subconsciously I try to be like my characters, and I live my fantasies through them. I’d love to be a confused young person that fights for his ideals, but I’m not like that.


Everyone beats him up in RM.
I prefer to be hit than hitting. It’s more interesting.


How would you describe the movie?
It’s a movie about a life style, about love and the desire to live. The story is told through the eyes of Tyler, who is not aware of the consequences of the relationships he has.


Trauma seems to be everyone’s bond in the movie.
Yes, all the characters in the movie have faced death somehow, losing a family member. So there’s a connection with them through grief.


This is your first movie since New Moon, is that a relief?
Yes. I wanted to do a smaller film. Something with a modest budget that I could film in between filming the Twilight movies. I wanted a story that was more realistic because I was getting a bit tired of the fantasy genre. I needed to play a regular character that faced normal issues.


Do you feel the pressure of fame now?
Yes, and the industry’s pressure as well. It’s almost like everybody is looking at me. Some people are just waiting to see me crash and burn, others are convinced that I’m going to make it. But in any case, I don’t care about people’s expectations. I’m the only one who has to worry about my career.


Eclipse is right around the corner…
I know. And I’m a little angy because people will forget about my performance in Remember Me, and keep the idea they had before about me. I thought Eclipse would come out 3 months after RM, but no. I just hope the expectation doesn’t overshadow the movie itself, because the third installemnt won’t be very different from the first two.


Mattel has a doll with your image, there’s unauthorized biographies of you, photographers follow you everywhere. Do you feel like a brand?
Yes. Fame can be a moster that consumes your life. The only thing that bothers me is people who think they know me and try to relate to a determined image of me.
I don’t mind if Hollywood sees me as the tortured teenager. I’ll change that perception with my work.


In this industry all they care about is that you make money. It doesn’t matter if you’re the next super-hero, or the next vampire, of the next lead in a romantic comedy.


Is it hard to rest after so much attention?
It’s very hard. There’s nothing I can do but try to find moments of peace, otherwise I’d go insane. It’s annoying when people scream for you on the streets or on the supermarket, or when you’re with your friends at a pub. I appreciate my fans and their support, I’m thankful and I know I wouldn’t be where I am without them. The most annoting part is living with 100 photographers outside my house, because they never stop, I live hiding from them.

There’s a little footage of Rob at the end…

Even in a Victorian French bowler hat and period dress, there is no mistaking the chiselled jaw of Twilight star Robert Pattinson.

But while the vampire series which made his name attracts a mostly teenage audience, his latest role is aimed at a more adult fanbase.

In Bel Ami the 23-year-old plays ‘totally amoral’ journalist Georges Duroy, who rises to the top by manipulating a series of powerful and wealthy mistresses.

The film sees Pattinson’s character take part in an orgy.

The racy scenes were shot at the Grade 1-listed Crossness Pumping Station in London, originally a sewage works.

Kent News reported a source saying: ‘It will be tastefully done with lots of candlelight and lace, but it will be the sexiest thing Robert’s ever been seen in and will get his female fans even more excited.’

Co-star Natalia Tena – who co-starred with Pattinson in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix – spoke about the film’s nudity, writing on her MySpace page: ‘I start Bel Ami in less than two weeks, slightly nervous especially seeing as you’ll see my naked cleavage.’

Pattinson is currently filming the adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s short story in Budapest, following two months of shooting in London.

The movie is an adaptation of the 1885 novel about a peasant-born former soldier who becomes a journalist in Paris and climbs the social ladder through a series of affairs with well-connected women.

It also stars Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristen Scott Thomas.

His new film is called Remember Me – but rising star Robert Pattinson says even diehard Twilight fans don’t always recognise his face.


Few movie actors are hotter right now than the hunky Londoner. The first two films in the Twilight Saga took in more than a billion dollars and are a worldwide sensation.


But, according to Robert, you could be standing next to him and not even know it.


Last Christmas he was shopping in a record store, surrounded by Twilight fans buying DVDs and posters with his face on them, but no one realised he was beside them.


He said: “The other night I went out to have dinner in a London pub and the barmaid had this whole conversation saying, ‘You look just like that guy from Twilight.’


“Every time she came up, she said something like, ‘You literally could be his brother.’ But she never put two and two together.”


Since being bitten by the acting bug, Twilight star Robert has been cutting his teeth on a role that melts millions of teenage hearts.


Now he’s set to return to cinemas in a very different role, a tale of love and loss called Remember Me.


Robert shot the movie during a break between the first and second Twilight films.


Set before the September 11 terror attacks, he plays a young New Yorker consumed by anger over his brother’s death. He has a difficult relationship with his lawyer father Pierce Brosnan.


But, off screen, Robert says the former Bond has been showing him how to cope with film fame.
Brosnan took him out for dinner and they were clocked by fans.


Robert said: “They didn’t know who I was but knew him. Pierce went up to them and introduced himself. It worked fantastically because no one treated him like a sideshow attraction any more.”


If Robsessive fans swooned over his shirtless displays as Edward Cullen in Twilight, they will be racing to see Remember Me.


Robert has his first movie nude scene with co-star Emilie de Ravin, from Lost, but he wasn’t scared.


He said: “As soon as you’re standing naked in front of everyone, you don’t care. It’s quite liberating.”


There are some things that still bring a blush to Robert’s cheeks – he says he would rather die than show you his dancing.


He added: “I used to dance all the time till I was 16 and at a wedding. I was going nuts on the dance floor.


“Eventually my dad said, ‘What are you doing?’ And I’ve never been able to get that out of my head.”


Since Twilight, Robert has been slowly adjusting to fame and a vast fortune. He has turned down ad endorsement offers, fashion show invitations and, reportedly, even the offer of a record contract from Simon Cowell – Robert composed and sang two songs on the first Twilight soundtrack and has been playing piano since he was five.


The star doesn’t want to insult pals who are broke by showing off his wealth – so his only extravagance has been a top-of-the-range guitar.


Robert has come a long way since he was unemployed in London and living in a grubby little flat. But he could argue he’s paid his dues by coping with disappointments.


He was cast as Reese Witherspoon’s son in Vanity Fair – and only found out while watching the movie that his performance had been chopped out of the final film.


Robert claims he only got the part of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire because the same casting director was working on that picture – and felt guilty for dropping him from Vanity Fair.


And when he landed a role in a play called The Woman Before on London’s West End, he was replaced with another actor shortly before opening night.


Robert has also had to deal with keen interest in his relationship with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.


The pair kept everyone guessing until the Baftas this year, when they came out as a couple.
He is still shy about discussing his 19-year-old girlfriend.


When asked what he looks for in a woman, he joked: “Money – and an unbelievable amount of patience.”


Kristen has both – but it’s also been rumoured that other famous women have been circling for a bite of Robert.


While he says it’s all rubbish, he admits he is so loved up at the moment that maybe he doesn’t “even realise they’re doing it”.


Kristen and Robert certainly have a powerful chemistry together onscreen and the couple will be facing off once more when Eclipse, the next Twilight movie, comes out in June.


After that, the studio hopes to shoot the fourth book and there have been rumours the final novel will be split into two films. Robert said: “People have been asking me about Breaking Dawn. I honestly don’t mind if it’s two movies.


“They’re great fun to work on and people really like them. I could do them for a while – I just don’t think I’m going to look 17 for very much longer.”


At 24, he can still convincingly play the teen vampire but Robert knows that, unlike Edward Cullen, his youth won’t last forever.


And he’s determined to leave his mark while he can. That’s why he’s trying to stretch his screen roles, hoping movies like Remember Me will help you remember him after he’s hung up his fangs for good.


He said: “Twilight fans are so devoted, even fanatical, that I’m now able to do so many films.”
Robert has already been busy filming Unbound Captives, with Hugh Jackman, a Western in which he will mostly speak Comanche.


After that, he plays his first bad guy in a movie called Bel Ami, also starring Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci.


He said: “A lot of the women are attracted to my character.


“Then he kind of screws them over and steals their money, which is quite funny compared to what I consider to be the nobility of Edward Cullen.”


Remember Me is in cinemas from Friday.

Summit Entertainment is clearly gearing up to get moving on “Breaking Dawn,” the final entry in the “Twilight” (which still may or may not be released in two parts). There was a lot of talk over the last week or two about potential directors, with the names Gus Van Sant, Sofia Coppola, Bill Condon and Stephen Daldry all coming up as short-list possibilities. I put those options to a vote last week: Coppola got 40%, Van Sant got 27%, Condon got 18% and Daldry got 15%. So no clear majority.Well I’m here today to make things even more confusing. This isn’t an official possibility on the table for Summit — as far as we know — but a noteworthy filmmaker professed his love for Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series in a chat on the Kid’s Choice Awards red carpet over the weekend: M. Night Shyamalan.

“I would’ve loved to be– I love the series, and Catherine [Hardwicke's] movie, it was one of my favorite movies of that year,” he said. “Really, I thought tonally, it was a perfect movie. I called her up after I saw ‘Twilight’ and was like ‘That was amazing.’ So I’m a big fan.”

Shyamalan just recently worked with “Twilight” star Jackson Rathbone on “The Last Airbender,” a live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese anime series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” That movie hits theaters this summer, on July 2. Shyamalan is known for frequently screwing with viewers’ heads in hits like “The Sixth Sense” and “Unbreakable”; “Airbender” is a first for him, a big-budget, studio adaptation.

My own opinions of him as a filmmaker are mixed, but I’ve never claimed to be a “Twilight” expert. So I want to hear from you. Do you think Shyamalan is a good person for Summit to consider in weighing possible “Breaking Dawn” directors? Do you agree with his assessment of “Twilight” as “tonally” perfect? Would you pick him over the other directors whom we know are in the running?

Wow, with so many directors being thrown into possibly working on “Breaking Dawn” I wonder who will end up directing Rob & the rest of the cast
