Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are running on little to no sleep as they film key scenes for Breaking Dawn but they’re taking their diets seriously! HollywoodLife.com spoke to a source who reveals that Rob and Kristen eat at Rockwell’s Bar & Grill in Squamish, BC ,Canada “almost every night” — and that the chef makes sure to prepare them incredibly healthy meals. “Rob and Kristen eat at Rockwell’s a lot,” our source says. “They sometimes eat with other members of the cast, but most of the time it’s just the two of them. They eat salads, and the chef knows to only cook them healthy options. They aren’t eating french fries and junk. They need to keep their bodies fueled correctly since they are working so much.” Rockwell’s Bar and Grill is part of an affordable Canadian chain known for their yummy Spinach and Goat Cheese Dip ($10), Grilled Wild Coho Salmon ($19) or Shandy Braised Short Ribs ($16.99) Rob and Kristen are wrapping up the final two Twilight installments and are expected to be finished in mid-April. We hear they’ll be filming in Squamish for two more weeks. We just told you they were spotted chatting and taking photos with local fans. So if you’re in the area you might run into them, too.

@GuriWeinberg:

Just found out there’s a break in shooting for us, going back home! Getting ready to hop on a plane now, will tweet tomorrow!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone! I’m off to the airport now. Rob was right – Twilight fans are the BEST!

A conversation with Entertainment Weekly senior writer Sara Vilkomerson about Twilight, Robert Pattinson, and the plight of the pigeonholed celebrity.

Josh Benson: Can you explain Robert Pattinson to me, please?

Sara Vilkomerson: Oh well gee, where to begin! I guess we should start with Twilight. Are you familiar with it?

Josh: How about let’s assume I’m not totally up to speed on it. Just for the sake of this exercise, you understand.

Sara: Mmmhmmm, sure.

In my humble opinion there is an essential part of Twilight that girls go nuts for that has got a lot to do with the whole vampire, undying-love (literally!) stuff. Which is that the main character, Bella, considers herself clumsy and awkward and not particularly beautiful, which I think speaks to at least 90 percent of how girls felt in high school. And then the coolest, hottest, most unattainable boy in school picks her out as the object of his affection. This is heady heady crack-for-girls stuff already. So then they cast Robert Pattinson in the role.

Oh look, I wrote about this in the Observer when the first one came out!

Josh: I remember that place! That piece, too.

Sara: Anyway, Robert Pattinson had the tough job of filling the shoes of a character that is described at length as being preternaturally good-looking, and he succeeded because, among other things, he happens to be preternaturally good looking. He just is.

And Twilight became a huge success. And now he can’t walk down the street without people asking him to bite them, which means he did a very, very good job. And now, three films later and with two more on the way, he has a tough road ahead getting people to forget about him as Edward Cullen but to see him as Robert Pattinson, the actor.

Josh: Given the fact that he is at this point kind of the embodiment of vampiretainment, is it not slightly unrealistic to expect that people are going to stop asking him to bite them anytime soon?

Sara: If this is a delicate way of asking me if I asked him to bite me during our interview, let me state clearly for the record that I did not.

Josh: Phew. What about people who are less professional than you are, though?

Sara: I think he must get it a lot. Which must be one of those things that is hilarious the first three times but not at all the next 3,000 or so. The next two Twilight movies, Breaking Dawn 1 and 2, come out this November and next November. So he’ll be living with the Edward Cullen stuff till after that. And then … who knows? I hope for his sake it stops!

Josh: He described that enduring recognition for a certain thing as the “horrible” aspect of being part of a franchise.

What’s the textbook career-management example for an actor who goes on to become much more Serious than his breakout role? Can Twilight end up being Pattinson’s “21 Jump Street”?

Sara: Clooney did it! But I think you raise an interesting point about actors who happen to be blessed/cursed with extraordinary good looks, like Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, which is that they have to work harder, I think, to make you stop thinking about them that way.

Josh: Did it help those other guys, in a way it wouldn’t necessarily help Pattinson, that their breakout roles were somewhat less massive, culturally? (I’m going to go ahead and guess, without referring to the internet, that “21 Jump Street” was never quite the prevasive franchise that Twilight has become.)

Sara: Maybe. But look at Harrison Ford. He was Han Solo AND Indiana Jones—that’s two massive mainstream franchises—and he still went on to play all sorts of other roles successfully. So I think it’s going to be really interesting to see what all these Twilight actors, not just Pattinson, end up doing in the future.

Josh: May I ask you another question about vampires?

Sara: You may.

Josh: I’m aware this has already been hotly debated (I refer you to my earlier statement about my level of attention), but can you please explain how much the Pattinson phenomenon has to do with the vampire-affected sexual politics of Twilight?

In the movies (and in the books they’re based on) the whole point is that actually he won’t ever defile the girl he loves by biting her, if I understand right. So … has Pattinson, by virtue of playing a very handsome, very devoted vampire on TV, become a sex symbol for chastity? Is there such a thing?

Sara: I don’t know I can explain the sexual politics of Twilight. But! I do think in the first few books there is something remarkably chaste and appealing on a YA level about two characters who want to have sex with each other but cannot for life-and-death reasons. And that while he is inexplicably drawn to the scent of her blood, he restrains himself from doing anything that would harm her, and in fact, goes out of his way to make sure no harm comes to her any other way, either.

Josh: Might that help explain the Pattinson craze? The fact that he played a character that tapped into the, how you say, “crack-for-girls stuff”?

Sara: It’s a really good question, I don’t know if I or anyone can say where the appeal of the character and the appeal of the actor split or begin. But clearly they’ve become conjoined. (That’s a word, right? I’m on Dayquil!)

Josh: Yes! I hadn’t even noticed.

Sara: I do what I can.

Josh: So after all that, what was he like in person?

Sara: I was really curious beforehand, because how many people are there that are THAT kind of famous? And I was very pleasantly surprised by how sweet and charming he is. And mostly, how easy it was to talk to him.

Because, as you know, doing any long interview is like having a long conversation with anyone. The real worry is, what if you run out of things to talk about? Or sometimes, when someone is really interviewed a lot, will this person be saying the same thing that he says to everyone? But I found him remarkably sincere.

Josh: It occurs to me that you improved your odds of having him say something new by making the first question about whether the elephant in his new movie, which is actually called Water for Elephants, would remember him the next time he was on set. Was this one of your fancy “journalism” tricks?

Sara: It’s more of a Vilkomerson is Interested in the Animals trick. Kidding (sort of). But actually I think when people see the movie, they’ll be struck at how much he and that elephant seem to like each other! And I knew we were reuniting them for our photo shoot. So I was genuinely curious.

Josh: Yes, he definitely seemed to like talking about the animals! Even, to his credit, about the zebra who chased him away.

Sara: I loved it when he called the zebras “wily.” I never once thought about zebras in that way. I always thought they were like really weird-looking horses.

Josh: Did you not detect something backhanded in his comment about the zebra’s williness? Maybe his sincerity fails to come through in text.

Sara: Well, it sounded like his colleagues all teased him from running from the zebra. Though if you think about it, zebras are big. I wouldn’t want one running at me, either.

I talked to a lot of other people from this movie—including the director and the screenwriter—and it sounds like the animal aspect was really intense. Also, I learned that lions are somewhat harder to work with than tigers. Now you know too!

Josh: Wait, hold on, I’m writing that one down.

Sara: You Never Know.

Josh: Did it strike you that he was happier talking about the circus movie with the elephants than he was about the aforementioned massive Twilight two-parter?

Sara: I think this has been a very long shoot—they are doing both the first and the second movies in one session. So he joked that he feels like they’ve been shooting it all of his life. But he seemed very enthusiastic about it and about the director, and about how dark and odd these last two chapters are going to be. Cause you know what happens in the last book, right? It’s bananas!

Josh: Um, yes. Yes, I know what happens in the last book.

Sara: So … that is going to be interesting to see how they did that AND kept it PG 13. Because it’s pretty dark up in there!

Josh: That’s what he said!

Sorry.

Sara: Haha.

Josh: I just mean, he talked to you about how deeply weird it actually is, to the point where he was wondering how they might go about advertising it.

Sara: Right. And of course, it’s all very secretive and no one knows anything for sure yet. So I’m sure there were things he could not tell me. But I’m very intrigued about how it’s all going to go down.

Josh: I don’t suppose weirdness will be at all off-putting for the Twilight fans who are going to see these movies in the zillions. Like, I am presuming that advertising strategy will be the last of their worries.

Sara: Oh, I think if you are a fan you are a fan. And no, I don’t think it will put anyone off in the slightest

Josh: I have one more question for you!

Sara: You can ask me a million more!

Josh: Don’t tempt me! As you know, I have a proven track record of wasting your time. But my question is this: When a celebrity says to you, as Pattinson did, and I’m sure lots of your other fancy story subjects have, that his life is actually super-boring, what is Inner Vilkomerson’s reaction?

Sara: I actually believe him! Which is not to say I’d believe it from anyone, but this guy works ALL the time. And I mean ALL the time.

Josh: That’s what–

Sara: Haha. You take the fact that he works all the time and combine it with the fact that he can’t walk amongst us in public life without crowds of girls going nutty, and it seems possible that he really doesn’t get into any trouble. He buys things on Ebay! He talked to me about various youtube videos.

Josh: You know, when you put it like that, he does sound boring. No wonder he couldn’t stop talking about the zebra incident.

Sara: Come now, when was the last time a zebra ran at you?

Thank you to our Elite Affiliate Le Monde de Francesca!

Thank you to @belladesigns86 for sharing with us!

Dear Ted:
Regarding the “relationship” of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, do you think it to be real or a ploy of the studio to fill seats? I will be extremely disappointed if it’s all hype and will protest anyway I can. I’ve only discovered I have romantic bones after all.
—grannyfairy

Dear Twi-Activist:
From the looks of the latest mag interviews Rob has been doing, it almost seems like he is hinting at the end of not only Twilight gossip, but his relationship as well. I mean, we might all be heavily reading into it all as hopeless romantics, but it’s suspicious. They seem to be in love, but I guess only the Breaking Dawn will tell.

With shooting set to begin this summer in Toronto, casting on David Cronenberg‘s “Cosmopolis” starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, and Mathieu Amalric is wrapping up. Samantha Morton joined the cast last week—as we found out via a Robert Pattinson interview—now she’s been confirmed, and according to Entertainment One, who is handling the picture’s distribution in Canada, one more actor has joined the cast: Canadian Sarah Gadon, who will be playing the role of the Pattinson character’s estranged wife, Elise Shifrin.

Known in Canada for the television series “Are You Afraid of the Dark?,” Gadon currently stars on the CBC drama, “The Border.” More importantly she has already worked with Cronenberg, landing a smaller role in the filmmaker’s already-shot “A Dangerous Method” where she plays Emma Jung, Carl Jung’s wife. That picture stars Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and Vincent Cassel.

Based on the novella of the same name by award-winning writer Don DeLillo, in “Cosmopolis,” Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a 28-year-old multi-billionaire finance guru who drives around Manhattan in a high-tech, pimped out limo in order to get a haircut, with many interruptions along the way. Set within a 24-hour period, most of the novel takes place in his limousine and we assume the film will do the same. During his day, Packer loses millions of dollars for his clients by telling them to bet against the yen, and then is stalked by two men seemingly seeking revenge. Obsessed with sex, Packer spends the day cheating on his wife and trying to outwit the men that are after him.

Gadon will be seen next in Jim Sheridan’s “Dream House” among other projects, and had a role in Jon Poll’s cult hit “Charlie Bartlett.” No release date is set for “Cosmopolis,” but 2012 will surely be the earliest it arrives. Either way, with “A Dangerous Method” in post-production and arriving either in the fall or at Cannes (or our guess is the Toronto Int. Film Festival), it’s nice to see Cronenberg working at such a quick clip. After all, a world without David Cronenberg films is a lesser one.

Setting a moving love story during the Great Depression might prove quite a challenge, especially considering it unfolds in this whole mysterious world of a traveling circus, no less. But director Francis Lawrence turns Sara Gruen’s acclaimed novel into a sweeping, cinematic drama for the silver screen, and one that promises to take its audience into a world beyond the thrill of the circus and into the life under the Big Top.“Water for Elephants” follows the story of Jacob (played by Robert Pattinson of “Twilight” fame), whose world changes dramatically after his parents die in a car accident. Boarding a train out of town, he soon realizes he inadvertently joins a circus train where he meets equestrian star, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon).

The love that develops between Jacob and the married Marlena is compelling, and Lawrence is grateful that his main cast has truly been up to the task. In casting Witherspoon in the role of Marlena, Lawrence says, “Reese was the first person I cast in the film and she was a great creative partner in the early days when we were putting this project together.”

But Witherspoon holds an allure that Lawrence describes as “a timeless beauty.” As Marlena, Witherspoon also has to work with a graceful elephant and Lawrence thankfully notes, “She loves animals and has no fear of trying anything. [But] also, Marlena is a bit tough and hardened. She isn’t a victim and Reese… she is very strong.”

Opposite Witherspoon, Lawrence cast Pattinson, a decision he’s made after sitting with him for just a couple of hours. “I thought he was naturally perfect for Jacob Jankowski. It was tough to try and find a young man of 23 or 24 who didn’t feel like a boy—and Rob was already becoming a man. He is thoughtful, intelligent, emphatic, strong and confident while still being a bit uncomfortable in his own skin.”

In order to play the two roles well, both actors had to understand the nature of the relationship between Jacob and Marlena. “There is a nice slow burn to their growing passion,” Lawrence notes. “I think Jacob falls instantly for Marlena… but she is guarded, and doesn’t trust many people. Through his actions in the movie, Jacob starts to break through that wall and she discovers that he is unusual and quite exceptional in this world of the circus. I think she falls for his morality.”

So the bond that forms between Jacob and Marlena is the core of the movie, and it is crucial that his two leads are believable in this world. Lawrence admits, “Chemisty is always something that one worries about, but the worries went away in rehearsal. I saw it immediately.”

And more than the chemistry with each other, Witherspoon and Pattinson also had to worry about acting with the circus animals. Lawrence reveals, “We worked with quite a lot of animals and our actors were going to be around them a lot, so I thought that it would be a good idea for them to spend a lot of training time with them and getting comfortable with them.”

Witherspoon, in fact, had to have the most training, because “she had to perform with the animals as well. She needed to rehearse the horse act and the elephant acts. It was a lot of work for her but she really worked hard and it paid off.”

On the whole, when asked to name his favorite scene in the movie, Lawrence says he has a lot. But aside from Jacob’s scene alone in the forest when the train arrives, the director notes, “I love the scene when the circus is setting up for the first time and I love the dinner sequence where Jacob and Marlena dance for the first time.”

And it is these interactions between his leads and the reactions people get from watching scenes like this that Lawrence hopes would resonate with viewers. “One of the reasons I wanted to make this movie was that it has hope, magic and beauty. I really hope people respond to that,” Lawrence says.

“Water for Elephants” opens locally in May.

The Robert Pattinson count down begins — sitting down with him and Water For Elephants cast in six days.

On Rob’s IMDB profile page, Unbound Captives is no longer listed in the right sidebar of his page. I guess it safe to say that he is no longer is expected to be involved with this project.
