Summary from our friend Dorothée:

Rob was compared to all the other guys coming to Cannes to present their films and he got the best score on the “screamometer”.

Thanks again Dorothée!

There are very positive quotes from the Cannes Director. There are a few mistakes in the article tho like the Tom Sturridge picture that they used isn’t one of Tom’s or them saying that Rob wanted the part of Jeff Buckley in the biopic. But those are mistakes from he writer of the article. The quotes are legit.

They ask Thierry if they “have the first draft of the new generation of young actors” and he replies “it’s hard to say, the competition is tough. You have to make the right choices & meet the right people. Pattinson & Stewart had the chance of rising from Twilight unlike other young actors that are as talented as they are. There are in Hollywood, young actors waiting in the shadow. The market is ruthless. But as for Pattinson& Stewart, they’re showing a remarkable maturity when it comes to their careers. And they’re wonderful in both movies.”

The article talks about Leo Dicaprio then: He managed to (almost) make people forget about Jake from Titanic. going from teenager’s walls to movie-goers shelves. Will the Twilight actors be able to finance movies that are both challenging and expensive due to their names? “It’s going on to depend on the success of their first steps in the ‘grown up’ cinema and on the power they will exerce on the screenwriter producers.” continues Thierry Frémaux. “Cannes 2012 is going to show that there is a movement to go back to the “big” American Auteur cinema. They can take advantage of it, or not. All of this is so fragile.
