We’re all huge fans of “Twilight,” but have you ever stopped to consider the underlying psychological reasons for that love? Have you ever wondered just how and why the series has attained such massive cultural significance?
We know your answer: a resounding “hell no”. But that’s why we’re so stoked about the new book “Seduced by Twilight: The Allure and Contradictory messages of the Popular Saga” by author Natalie Wilson — she’s done all that thinking so we don’t have to.
And while we’re usually happy to just moon over Edward’s hair or Jacob’s abs, we have to admit we’re looking forward to finding out some of the hidden messages and complex themes behind Stephanie Meyers’ popular series of books and films.
Best of all, “Seduced by Twilight” goes on sale today, providing Twi-Hards like us with the perfect fix to keep us going until part one of “Breaking Dawn” finally hits theaters this November. Because for this book, addiction is really the only psychology we need to know, after all.

Love him (teenage girls everywhere) or loathe him (their boyfriends), Robert “R.Pattz” Pattinson is apparently here to stay. With Water For Elephants out soon, he’s gearing up to star in Cosmopolis for David Cronenberg. Yes, you read that right. Yes, this may mean that you have to start liking him. Here’s what he had to say about his role.
“I’m just astonished that I’ve been cast. I’d read the script before and thought, ‘Wow, this is insane. But insane and difficult.’ And then, out of nowhere, my agent said, ‘Do you want to do it?’ I’d never thought about working with Cronenberg, but I’ve always loved his movies. It just never came into my head that there would ever be that opportunity.
“Y’know, there are so few auteurs left. The one thing that pisses me off about working in films is when you start a project and then, suddenly, two days before you start, there’s a massive rewrite to make an R-rated movie into something that’s PG-13, and it’s a totally different story. As soon as that line’s been crossed, you know you’re not making a movie anymore. You’re making a…a… fridge magnet. But with people like Cronenberg you know that, no matter what, there will be a movie at the end, and it will be solid and self-contained, and it’s not made for any other reason than it being a movie.”
Pattinson also confirmed that, as far as he is concerned there will be no further Twilight outings following the two-part Breaking Dawn which finishes the current series. And he swears that he didn’t know what he was getting himself into with Stephenie Meyer’s massive vampire saga.
“I thought at the time, with Catherine Hardwicke and Kristen Stewart, it was going to be an indie movie. It seemed really interesting: a teen vampire movie that was going to be like Thirteen and really serious. I had no idea it was going to be this big thing you’d get on Burger King hats.”
Water For Elephants is out on May 4, and the full interview with His Dreaminess is in the new issue of Empire, out Thursday.
first 3 pages of the article are an extract from the original article (the part I’ve translated), next three are three old photos. interview extract, Vanity Fair will be in the italian newsstands on March 30
Translation:
You must not be very smart to understand this: generally speaking, there are fates worse than to become a poster-boy forced to hide from fans within the walls of five-star hotels scattered around the world.
And Robert Pattinson seems that it is quite clever. But it also seems that, personally speaking, his fate has not taken the right way. He is young (in May will make 25 years), has a lot of money, success, a job,
the actor, that half the world’s envy and, potentially, all women want. Yet we see from a mile away that is not happy. And the reason, I believe, lies in the fact that it is smart enough to understand that
it is not so special. He stayed with his feet on the ground on the neck and head while all around him went mad. That makes him a good person, but horribly alone. I’ve met a few weeks ago to promote the
film Like Water for elephants.
Born in London in a normal family – his mother worked in a modeling agency, her father selling old cars – thought to be a great deal of international relations. The part of Cedric in Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire came almost by accident, and the same for the role that would change his life: the vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight.
Water for Elephants is a romantic movie. “What attracted me is the historical period, the Great Depression, and the circus. It’s fascinating.” The fact remains that it is primarily the story of Jacob and Marlena. “;But even if at first you may think”; Now he arrives, he sees her likes her and run away together, but the story is more complex. Jacob does not want to take, it is only prepared to give. The best relationship that might exist. ”
Could you have an affair with a married woman?
“Life is not black or white. There are married people who are togheter but they don’t marry , can we define it marriage? But there’;s one thing I never understood: why do people betray.”
He does not understand a behavior practiced by the majority of the population? ”
“I understand the impulse, but not how you can maintain two long-standing relationships at the same time”. And though I realize that can happen to those who have children, I cannot undderstand
young people who choose to have four girls at once. It must be a living hell, especially for the man.”
He doesn’t believe in betrayal. E in “love till death does not separate”, like in the movie?
“My parents met when my mom was 17 and my father 25, are still together and seem very happy. I grew up believing that we can be together all life. “
How many times has this happened before? First, of course, there was Nikki Reed in the first Twilight movie. Then, later on and much more seriously, there was concern of Emilie de Ravin, Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me costar. It never really got that intense about Reese Witherspoon, Rob’s Water For Elephants costar, and, well, Reese did just get married this past weekend.
But the female point is—and always is—whichever pretty young thing stars opposite Kristen Stewart’s real-life BF also gets to star in a second movie, a sort of unofficial director’s bonus.
Although you might want to call it a “devil’s advocate” bonus, as newcomer Sarah Gadon is about to find out:
Because Rob is getting all wifed up in David Cronenberg’s upcoming flick, Cosmopolis. And guess which lucky lady get’s that job?
Yep. Gadon. (But this casting happened only after Cronenberg’s first choice, Keira Knightley, didn’t work out.)
Oh, and Sarah and Robert just might be locking some lips, too! Yum! Not even K.Stew gets to do it with Rob that much, considering their travel schedules—not to mention a major shyness prob they’ve both got.
So is K.Stew jealous?
“Hardly,” says someone close to Ms. K.
Now, we’ve confirmed directly with Gadon that she is indeed getting this lip-locking jump in her career. The director wouldn’t confirm. But Gadon sure as hell did.
And why not? Who’d ever heard of Gadon before?
Well, Cronenberg had. He worked with her on his flick A Dangerous Method. But this time around, the sometimes bizarro director will be directing Rob and Sarah in a story where a financial wunderkind (Pattinson) risks everything in the stock-trading world and is estranged from his wife in the personal one. Hmmm. Think K.Stew had that last part of the plot worked in?
Oh, there’s also another Kristen connection to note here: Gadon also tested for Snow White. She tried for the role that eventually went to Kristen.
Let’s hope this Gadon gal doesn’t want to get revenge for that disappointment with our boy Rob
Dear Ted:
Is Robert Pattinson really what he makes himself out to be? I don’t care who he sleeps with or if he does any questionable activities, but I’m more interested if he really is a sweet guy that is still humble and pleasant, or if he acts arrogant and stuck up? Is he really insecure and self-deprecating, or is that all an act?
—watergurl1789
Dear Arrogant Edward:
If any half of the Robsten duo is humble, pleasant and outright super sweet it’s definitely Rob. Well, at least from all the promotional interviews he has been doing for Water for Elephants lately. And judging by our own time when we’ve met him. Don’t shoot, Krisbians, Kristen is amazing in her own right, but Rob just seems more genuine. Definitely not playing up some sweet-guy image, just being himself. Also, don’t be quick to label him arrogant. He’s just over being a pasty vamp is all.
Dear Ted:
Now I’m very angry. Everyday the same BS from the nonstens and haters. They bash Rob and Kristen. They spill lies about Rob. And you? You don’t do anything. Why not? Because you like to get hits. Right? I’m very, very angry.
—hakimas03
Dear Really Pissed Off:
If I could slam down every nonsten you know I totally would. But that would be an eternal job. Seriously, I write about the cute pair because I dig them. Period. So try to ignore the haters, and smile. That’s what Rob and Kristen do, isn’t it?
Dear Ted:
Hello! Recently, you are accused of going on the side of nonsten. What can you say in your defense?
—nadezhda7789
Dear Attacking the Messenger:
Not sure where all this doubt is coming from, Twi-hards, but we’ve all been Robsten supporters at A.T. from day one. Otherwise, we would not flood the blog with daily info about the pair. A nonsten I am not. Be sure of that, dolls!
Robert Pattinson scored (we think) at Chances Casino up in British Columbia? No, don’t worry, not THAT kind of scoring.
A source tells HollywoodLife.com about running into Mr. P on the floor of the casino in Squamish, BC.
“Rob was playing the slot machines and my nephew and I basically ran into him,” says our source. “He was by himself and wearing a baseball hat. He wasn’t talking to anyone, he was just keeping to himself. There’s not much to do in Squamish so I’m not surprised that we saw him in there.”

Water for Elephants: Life is a circus.Wild animals, trains, dwarfs and acrobats. This is what Robert Pattinson’s life has turned into: a circus.
It’s the time of the recession in the United States, during the 30’s in the XX century. The inhabitants of Weehaken, New Jersey, wear the clothes of the time: the men with hats, ties, suspenders and coats, the women with long flower print dresses; the children with crops and caps. The crowd maintains itself in expectation of the parade of the fabulous Benzini brothers’ circus, whose promotional posters announce it as “The most fabulous show on earth!” Everything would be perfect of the technicians and production team of a film was not walking on the same street, which break the illusion of a tip to the past.
This is the Water for Elephants set, film shot in the 20th Century Fox studios, in Los Angeles, under the direction of Fancis Lawrence (Constantine, 2005: I am Legend, 2007), and is one of the most anticipated productions of 2011 due to its appealing story of romance, based on Sara Gruen’s best seller (adapted by Richard LaGravensee), and above all for its stellar cast: Reese Witherspoon, Robert Patinson and Cristoph Waltz.
The story is centered on Jacob’s history (Pattinson), who, about to graduate as a veterinarian, abandons his studies upon his parents deaths. Chance unites him to a traveling circus, where he will become sentimentally involved with Marlena (Witherspoon), star acrobat and wife to the abusive tamer August (Waltz), which will create a fiery love triangle.
THE CIRCUS OF FILMING
Before interviews, reporters are placed in a convenient place to observe the circus parade, composed of a musical band, the clowns, the strong man, the dwarves, the tumblers and trapeze acts, as well as the different animals; a giraffe, a lion, two camels, two lamas, three ponies, three zebras, some mounting horses, a hippopotamus, and trained dogs. However, the main event is Reese’s revelation, mounted on Rosie the elephant, accompanied a few meters away by Waltz and Pattinson. The crowd of about 300 extras which have been called for this job, applaud this circus troop.
The filming of this scene, with three cameras, is repeated several times, until finally, the director is satisfied. Then, some shots are filmed in silence in which the extras must simulate the hand and facial gestures of their cries. Later, the principal camera changes locations and the fields and backgrounds are filmed, along with the foregrounds and details. Te execution of all this is the result of long work of planning alongside the director of photography, who is none other than Mexican Rodrigo Prieto (Amores Perros, Secreto en la Montana, Biutiful), whom at any given moment makes himself visible giving instructions to his assistants, with script in hand and focused on the monitor of what is shot on steady cam.
There’s a time in which Reese shows off her gymnast and animal training gifts. She has become great friends with Rosie. She gracefully hangs from her trunk to reach the ground, and then to get back on, she receives the elephant’s help, which shows an advanced training job.
“Of course I was scared,” she confesses later. “The first time I got on I screamed, but it went away afterwards. I learned her personality and earned her trust.”
Reese comes to our interview accompanied by Pattinson who wears his characters clothes: knee high boots, tight pants, button up shirt.
“Its very gratifying participating in a film like this,” says Reese, “where there’s authentic sets, with real characters and a good story. There’s no computer effects, except for a few. I think the audience is hungry for authentic stories that they can relate to. Besides, every specialist that has participated in this film is a craftsman: the set designer, costume designer…its beautiful watching the work they do.”
Photo captions: top – The circus tops were raised with the same techniques used in the 30s.
Bottom- Reese Witherspoon does not lose her glamour any second. Her costumes were designed by Jacqueline West, also responsible for the costumes in Red.
MEMORABLE CHARACTERS
This visit during filming turns out to be very illustrative – to which Cinemania was exclusively invited – each time that one of the most colorful and spectacular scenes of the film is enacted: the circus parade through town. At first look, one is dazzled by the wardrobe, and the first level ambiance, in this old set that has been used by Fox to film classic films like The Grapes of Wrath (1940, or Hello Dolly! (1969.
“I always had a fascination with the circus,” Reese tells us. “I was a gymnast, did some tumbling, trapeze tricks, stuff like that.
“Yea, me too,” says Pattinson, “although I wasn’t particularly obsessed with that world. I think I was afraid of it when I was younger. I supposes circuses caused a more profound effect during the time that was recreated in the film, when there was no Zoo or television.”
Both protagonists are very friendly towards each other, because despite the age difference, they’ve known each other a long time and make a good pair onscreen, due to Reese looking younger than her age. “ I hate this story, it makes me look old (laughs). We met in a movie. I was 24 and they needed a younger woman that had a child.” Reese blushes joking with Pattinson to whom she cedes the floor. “She was my mom,” he comments between laughter, “it was in Vanity Fair.”
Whatever the case was, they are both very enthusiastic with their roles n Water for Elephants, because in it some very rich and intense roles. “My character has a very intense and interesting journey,” describes Reese, “because she starts to work very young, during the Great Depression, when everyone is looking for a way to survive. She has a true survivors attitude. On the other hand, she finds herself in the middle of an abusive relationship from her husband, and Rob’s character (Pattinson) makes her see that there are better things out there and that it’s possible to have a better life.”
“What I’ve enjoyed the most about my character is being surrounded by animals,” says Pattinson. “I’ve never interacted with an elephant. There’s something very peaceful in her (Rosie), that I enjoy,” he states.
ONCE AGAIN THE VILLAN
In another conversation, Christoph Waltz shares a similar opinion: “One fascinating thing about the older circuses was the animals. There are hardly any circuses like that because they are under greater projection (luckily, we say). If you whip an elephant it’s more likely you’ll receive one in return. Having spent three months with a paqyderm is the most incredible experience you can imagine, because they are very intelligent,” comments the Austrian actor.
He also jokes when remembering the training session before filming. “Rosie, the elephant, did everything she was required with precision – mentions Waltz – She’s very obedient and intelligent. So I told the director, ‘Wouldn’t you love if all the actors were like her, patient and focused? They are the ideal actors!” he laughs.
Waltz has a strong personality, a European elegance, a firm attitude and a subtle humor that is evident in all his replies. “I can’t describe my character,” he replies to my query, “I don’t do it because what I do for a living is to interpret the character and what you do for a living is to describe the character. So, let’s keep our positions.” Later on he gives us some hints to understand the difficulties of his job. “It’s a therapeutic exercise to have sympathy for an unsympathetic character,” explains Waltz about his role. “I wouldn’t say this character is detestable because that would be a judgment. What I do is translate his rhythm into actions and emotions. If I gave you an opinion about my role, frankly it would seem boring. I think the opinion should be formed observing how he develops,” he states.
Photo captions: top – Robert Pattinson had to get very dirty during this shoot, due to a nomadic life and cleaning animal cells don’t favor cleanliness.
Middle – Love blooms between Jacob and Marlena: it was difficult for both actors to be serious when filming romantic scenes.
Bottom – Christoph Waltz once again appears as a brutally intelligent but violent man.

As you may have noticed, we have struck up a great friendship with Jolene from Columbia (also Elite Affiliate Comunidad Crespusculo Bogota). She wanted to share with you her room of Twi-Rob goodies. I wonder how many of you have the same taste in the items she has in Columbia? It really is a small world that Twi-Rob fans are brought together.
I had to save this picture separate because this is truly a unique piece of artwork she purchased in Columbia.
