Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson has more to him than a gaze to send hearts aflutter.


In the new romantic drama Remember Me, Pattinson stars opposite Lost’s Emile de Ravin as they fall in love while coming to terms with their own personal tragedies. But Pattinson also took his talents to the other side of the lens, as an executive producer on the film.


“There was something so powerful about it, when I first read the script,” Pattison told On The Red Carpet’s George Pennacchio (who was pretty under the weather at the time). “I didn’t want it to be compromised in any way… So I said anything I can do… if anyone tries to mess around with it, I want to do my bit to protect it.”


It turns out he’s pretty comfortable in the producer’s chair, “I’d love to do a film as a producer right from the beginning. I’m hoping to do that over the next few years.”


Pattinson also said he’s proud of the movie’s message, and how the ending makes the audience think.


“I don’t want to make something just for entertainment value,” he joked. “I don’t find myself very entertaining.”

Imagine our surprise today when we logged into the Bel Ami Movie Facebook page and saw a fan photo of a man dressed from another century! This is how we “met” Simon Mason. Simon is on set today and tomorrow with Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas filming scenes for Bel Ami. He’s been a regular fixture on the Bel Ami set in recent weeks, playing the part of a French Aristocrat. He told BelAmiFilm.com that he spent down time on Monday and Tuesday between takes playing cards with none other than Robert Pattinson. Simon says about Robert, “he is lovely!”

We’ve sent off some questions to Simon and hope to have more to this story soon. In the meantime, check out Simon Mason in his Bel Ami costume!

Thank you to brandnewluv from the pattinsonlife LJ community for the heads up!

As we reported yesterday, filming moves to Kent (just outside of London) this week and Robert Pattinson reportedly filming an orgy scene at the Crossness Pumping Station in Erith. (An orgy is not in the script draft that we have, but may have been added an added scene or a flashback in the final draft.)

We decided to check into the Crossness Pumping Station for a bit more information, as The Fourgy live in North America and are unfamiliar with this historical place in Europe.

Imagine OUR SURPRISE to learn that the Crossness Pumping Station is a 19th century sanitation facility! A 19th century poo filtration site! Gross! Hardly seems the backdrop for steamy orgy scenes, right?! We had to dig a little deeper. Here are some photos we found:

Pattinson has mastered the James Dean art of brooding as the sullen poster boy for the latest generation.Pattinson’s heartthrob status has been defined by his portrayal of the conflicted vampire-in-recovery, Edward Cullen, in the popular Twilight film series based on the Stephenie Meyer novels.

First, there was Twilight in 2008, New Moon last year and Eclipse set for release, to a great deal of anticipation, on June 30. Breaking Dawn, the finale, is expected to be released as two movies over the next few years.

In other words, the English actor is committed to the Edward sulk for at least another few films. But that doesn’t mean Pattinson’s become self-entitled or satisfied with his accomplishments.

His latest effort to expand on his brooding horizons arrives with his role in Remember Me, which opens March 12.

In the romantic drama, set in life-altering new millennium times, Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young New Yorker who clashes with his overbearing father (Pierce Brosnan) in the aftermath of his brother’s sudden death.

Only when Tyler meets up with the charming Ally (Emilie de Ravin) does he find some peace of mind and a reason to believe, though this may be threatened by Ally’s protective Manhattan cop dad (Chris Cooper).

To say that Pattinson as Tyler redefines James Dean’s Rebel Without a Cause angst is not an exaggeration, although the actor expresses some reservations about the assessment.

“I think it’s a fairly typical state to be in,” notes Pattinson of the classic rebellious posturing of his character. “And yes, I think there’s that element, but I was also interested in the arrogant things about Tyler.”

The good news for Pattinson is that he could protect the delicate tone and texture as a producer on the film. Yet, he’s hesitant to take credit.

“I’m kind of embarrassed about the producing thing, because I wasn’t really acting like a proper producer,” he confesses. “I only came on after filming to help make sure the product was the product we all wanted to make at the end.”

Indeed, Remember Me is precious to him, so he wanted to ensure the project wasn’t modified or diminished in the post-production phase.

“The way Tyler reacted to specific things seemed very relatable to me,” Pattinson admits. “I hadn’t seen a character like it in a hundred scripts, so when it came available between filming New Moon and Eclipse, I went for it, because it seemed like a perfect fit.”

He has lots of choices available to him, thanks to Twilight. Before his debut as a vampire, the London-born Pattinson was introduced to the modelling world by his mother, Clarie, who worked for an agency in the city. He was successful as a teen and found time to get involved in a neighbourhood theatre group while performing pop music as well.

He is in the middle of doing the hair and make-up for French film Bel Ami, starring Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci.

He has nothing but praise for the A-listers: “Uma is fantastic and an amazing woman but she’s got so much energy, it’s like, My God!

“Christina Ricci is just so adorable.

“Then Robert Pattinson is such a lovely, lovely young man, not at all starry.

“He’s just a normal boy. We’ve had groups of girls turning up at all times of the day and night to see him.”

Are you following Lee Binding?

Her co-stars include Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Robert Pattinson, but Scott Thomas said she had seen no evidence of the “Twilight”-induced hysteria that Pattinson routinely unleashes. “I keep hearing he’s fantastically megafamous, but you wouldn’t know it. He doesn’t have hundreds of people trailing him,” she said.
