The imaginative minds at gossip compost heap HollywoodLife continue to explore new and exciting ways of being wrong about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Now the site “reports” on the pair’s “string of bad luck” when it comes to… timing?

“Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are beginning to look a lot like star-crossed lovers Romeo & Juliet,” observes HollywoodLife. “Only it isn’t a family feud keeping them apart, it’s their hellacious work schedules!”

Production has begun on Stewart’s On the Road, the site explains, and with Pattinson “tackling” Unbound Captives “this summer,” there will be “no free time for Robby!”

Wait, when exactly does Unbound Captives start production? Does HollywoodLife have inside info?

Nope.

“There is no start date,” a source close to Pattinson tells Gossip Cop.

In other words, there’s no reason why the actor couldn’t be free to travel during much of Stewart’s Road shooting schedule. The HollywoodLife post is just another lame attempt to create drama where none exists.

In any case, at this point it’s probably safe to say the site is going through more than a mere “string of bad luck.”

She also continues her Twilight association with Robert Pattinson of Edward Cullen fame: Both have signed on for the Madeleine Stowe-directed Unbound Captives, which also stars Hugh Jackman.

“I think it’s going to be amazing,” Peltz said of the Stowe movie scheduled to start filming next year. “But I am not allowed to talk much about it.”

Twilight and Harry Potter have a lot in common. Too much perhaps, which is probably why I’ve never taken to either. Both are hugely popular movie series based on hugely popular book series, the final installment of which will be split into two different films. Both are fantasy adventures aimed at younger audiences with fans that fall into pretty much every movie-going demographic. Both are led by a cast of two guys and a girl.

But here’s where the similarities end: Nine years and six films into the Harry Potter franchise, it’s three principals — Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson — have yet to become major stars outside of Potter. Neither has Twilight’s lead threesome, set to return June 30 in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Unlike the Potter trio, though, people actually know the names Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart — whether they’ve seen a Twilight movie or not (thanks, in large part, to endless tabloid coverage).

But years from now, long after Twilight has joined Lord of the Rings in the annals of Hollywood, which of its three leads will have gone on to the biggest and best things.

Will it be Kristen Stewart? Playing Mary Lou in the upcoming Walter Salles-directed adaptation of On the Road is a good career move, but she has the aura of an actress destined — perhaps not entirely unintentionally — for an after-Twilight filmography of supporting roles in interesting but smallish films.

Or Taylor Lautner? He’s surrounded by solid, dependable talent in Abduction, the upcoming thriller directed by John Singleton and costarring Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello and Alfred Molina. But Lautner seems intent on sticking to the Hollywood mainstream, where box-office pull is the only measure of success, and one big hit — or a massive franchise — doesn’t necessarily mean there will be others.

What about Robert Pattinson? My money’s on this one. And not just because he recently confirmed that I’m not the only one who’s counting down the years to the end of the blockbuster Twilight franchise.

It can get a little boring,” Robert Pattinson told the New York Times. “The good news is that the whole thing is done in seven months.”

Unfortunately for Pattinson, that’s only when filming on Breaking Dawn, the fourth and fifth installments of the vampire saga will be completed, but with the fifth and final film not due until the summer of 2012, Twilight will continue to be the bane of Pattinson’s existence for years to come.

On the bright side, by the time part two of Breaking Dawn comes around, Pattinson could be well known for something else entirely. For all three of his upcoming non-Twilight projects, he’s forsaking the Hollywood genre pics in which the studios are no doubt dying to cast him in favor of artier, more prestigious fare. His success will depend less on producing big box-office returns than turning in well-received performances.

I’ve written before about how there’s more to Pattinson than Edward Cullen. In fact, if anything, Twilight is a departure from what seems to make Pattinson tick as an actor. The two highest profile non-Twilight films in which he has had a leading role, this year’s Remember Me and 2008 Little Ashes, were not major successes, but these performances must have convinced casting directors to allow him to step out of the corner that Twilight easily could have boxed him into.

For now, he’s a sort of twentysomething male Nicole Kidman, balancing big mainstream films (the Twilights) with smart, artier fare. But judging from Pattinson’s three upcoming non Edward Cullen roles, once Twilight is over, he’s more likely to go the Kate Winslet post-Titanic route, taking risky acting assignments in mostly period pieces. Who needs to play Kurt Cobain when you’ve got projects like these lined up?

Bel Ami

Release date 2011

Role George Duroy, a rogue ladder climber and manipulator of women sleeping his way through 19th-century Paris in an adaptation of an 1885 French novel

Oscar-nominated costars Kristin Scott Thomas and Uma Thurman as two of Duroy’s conquests

Oscar bait Duroy’s amoral nature. Oscar loves to nominate British actors for playing cads (see Laurence Harvey in Room At the Top, Albert Finney in Tom Jones, Richard Harris in This Sporting Life, Michael Caine in Alfie, Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Daniel Day-Lewis in The Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood).

Water for Elephants

Release date
2011

Role Jacob Jankowski, a circus veterinarian during the Great Depression in yet another adaptation, this one based on the acclaimed 2006 novel by Sara Gruen

Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated costars Reese Witherspoon as the circus’s star attraction, Christoph Waltz as her husband and the head animal trainer, Hal Holbrook as Jacob Jankowski in his nineties

Oscar bait Jacobs trials and tribulations, which include the death of his parents and a nervous breakdown

Unbound Captives

Release date TBD

Role
The adult version of a child who is kidnapped from his mother in 1859 and raised by the Comanche Native American tribe in the directorial debut of actress Madeleine Stowe, from a script written by Stowe and her husband Brian Benben

Oscar-winning and Tony-winning costars Rachel Weisz as Pattinson’s mom and Hugh Jackman as the guy who helps her find her missing kids

Oscar bait Comanche, the language Pattinson speaks throughout the film

Aside from the obvious Oscar potential of all three films, the best thing about them is that there’ll be no car chases, no explosions and best of all, no vampires.

Fame can be measured in Google hits or the number of paparazzi following a star from his or her guarded-and-gated mansion to the nearest Starbucks. In the case of Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” films, one look at the Internet Movie Database’s 2009 STARmeter tells the story.

In 2008, the star of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which opens Wednesday, ranked as the 33rd most-searched star on IMDb. But in 2009, Pattinson rocketed to No. 1.

He just edged out his “Eclipse” love interest, Kristen Stewart, on the list. And just to emphasize the enormity of the “Twilight” sensation, consider that six of the top 15 stars in the STARmeter, which measures the search activity of 57 million IMDb users, are in “Eclipse”: Pattinson, Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed.

Standing on top of that mountain means there were audible gasps when Pattinson showed up for a press conference in the ballroom of Los Angeles’ Four Seasons Hotel with his famous locks noticeably shorter. One reporter even asked if he was doing anything to grow his hair faster in time to shoot the two-part conclusion to the “Twilight” films, “Breaking Dawn.” It also means that, if Pattinson forgets where he is supposed to be on any given day, there is a fan site ready to help.

“It’s kind of incredible, the information they get so quickly,” Pattinson said, rubbing his forehead. “Sometimes I’ll check them to see what my schedule is on stuff, especially on the weekend when I can’t get through to my agency, or even to see my e-mails sometimes.”

“But … it’s strange being in ‘Twilight,’ because so much of the fan base is on the Internet and having a community with each other,” he said. “You see people turn up on sets of other movies I’ve done and take a picture. You know the main reason is so they can have a thing within their online community, and you know it’s going to be up within 5 seconds. But, yeah, it’s strange.”

Pattinson’s rise came about thanks to being cast in two movie series based on the two most popular supernatural, young adult, fiction series of all time. His big film break came when he appeared as the doomed Cedric Diggory in 2005’s “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and 2007’s “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.” But then, after Peter Pettigrew killed off Cedric at Lord Voldemort’s request, Pattinson’s next logical move was to play a vampire — already undead, hard to kill permanently.

And apparently, vampires can grow emotionally, as well. As preparations began for “Eclipse,” director David Slade met with Pattinson to discuss the evolution of Edward Cullen.

“I think what I was getting at, and it was a very early conversation with Rob, was I really wanted to make sure this character was dangerous,” Slade said. “That’s what I was getting at. In the last movie, he had played a different character arc, but in this movie, I wanted to bring out the carnivore in him … that had to come throughout the film, and he hadn’t really done that so much — a little bit in ‘Twilight’ — and I think that was the main thing. So it was a case of, try to look at every scene with that in mind. Underlying this is danger. Underlying everything is danger. That was the intention.”

“I mean I guess he was really fighting to make it not so, what’s the word, solemn, I guess,” Pattinson said. “Just the speed of it — just to speed things up. Which is a massive deal because, I mean Edward, always — in my eyes — has been so calculated and everything is not rash. And David wanted to speed up the whole thing and make him more vulnerable.”

The “Twilight” films themselves have rolled out with uncommon speed — once a year, without fail, since 2008. The franchise keeps Pattinson busy. He filmed “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” back to back before playing his first non-Cullen role in two years in the modern romantic tragedy “Remember Me.”

But as the “Twilight” series moves toward a conclusion, he is ramping up his nonvampiric activity with three upcoming films: “Bel Ami,” the story of a scruple-free social climber in 1890s Paris; the circus-themed romance “Water for Elephants”; and “Unbound Captives,” a Western starring Pattinson as a young man readjusting to life with his family after years of living with the Comanche tribe.

As for Edward, Pattinson said he has yet to read “Breaking Dawn,” so he has no sense of how his most famous role plays out. But he has his hopes.

“I think he’s coming out of his shell a little bit in ‘Eclipse,’” Pattinson said. “So hopefully, by the end of ‘Breaking Dawn’ … I’m hoping he’ll be a normal 17-year-old guy. Just a little bit pale.”

Nothing new, however, good to see the film get more press!

Robert Pattinson is now a household name. Through the Twilight franchise Pattinson has amassed millions of fans and worldwide uber-fame. Before Twilight he was just a blip on the pop-culture radar who would have been lucky to score a guest starring role on hit television series. Since Twilight, Pattinson has acquired enough industry mojo to allow him free reign over the indie world. His first venture was a film ironically titled Remember Me. I doubt anyone will recall this movie or his presence in it in years to come. Pattinson also produced this film, which is an eloquent way of saying he to contributed to its financing. Now he has another indie project on his radar, reports NY Times (via The Playlist).

Unbound Captives is a project spearheaded by actress turned screenwriter Madeleine Stowe. The western has attracted the likes of Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. However, their attachment to the project seems to be shaky at best. Robert Pattinson is reportedly after a role where he will be required to predominately speak Comanche. Hypothetically, if Pattinson was able to land the role it would provide him an opportunity to showcase both his range and acting talent. Of course, Pattinson speaking Comanche could miss the mark critically and also produce the potential for a laughably horrendous piece of acting.

On Rob’s IMDB profile page, “Unbound Captives” has been moved from pre-production and viewable back to IMDBpro. This is a paid resource for film and tv information. What does this mean? We got some feedback from two IMDB posters on Rob’s message board,

tracygee said,

June 12th it moved into “Development Unknown”. Keep in mind that the last time it was updated was in November 18, 2009 saying that it was “looking to shoot in early 2010″, which obviously didn’t happen. IMDb may have just put it into unknown since that start didn’t occur.

The release date also changed from 2010 to 2011.

CorpusChristiCarol said,

Well no, they moved it back to “in development” so it’s not in production.

I guess it’s delayed(?)

Anyways….I would like this movie to happen, I noticed some people think it’s risky because they’re afraid of criticism…..well only with a little risk good things can happen.

I liked it because Rob isn’t carrying the movie and can just enjoy the entire proces with less worry.

Robert Pattinson may be the heart throb of teen girls everywhere but just a few years ago he was a struggling actor just looking to find his break in Hollywood. In The Many Faces of Robert Pattinson we take a look at his career the roles he has played and where he is going from here.

Despite the fact that many think that Robert Pattinson is nothing more then a teen heart throb his young career clearly shows that he is much about films with substance as he is about being a star. Twilight has made Robert a household name but believe it or not Robert Pattinson has played much more then just a vampire heart throb

Vanity Fair: Robert Pattinsons first role was in Vanity Fair where he played Rawdy Crawley in a small role. Vanity Fair based in Elizabethan times is about a poor woman named Becky Sharp ( played by Reese Witherspoon ) who despite growing up in poverty defies the social ladder to advance her life. It follows the span of 20 years.
