Italian Vanity Fair

Brandi — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:28:34 +0000

Rob is gracing the cover of this months Italian Vanity Fair. The Examiner has provided some of translated highlights of the article, which is a compilation of older interviews.

Robert Pattinson: “I’m Single”

Despite the rumored romance with ‘Twilight’ co star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson is still claiming to be single.

The 23 year old ‘New Moon’ hunk says in a new interview with Italian Vanity Fair magazine that just about everything written about his personal life isn’t true.

“I am single… almost everything that came out about my private life is false.”

So why the false rumors then? Robert Pattinson thinks it could be because there is simply isn’t anything else to talk about.

“I think it happens because, really, there is not much to say about what I’m doing,” Pattinson said. “While I am filming, I live practically [like a] recluse in [a] hotel. I come out only to work, and sometimes to go out for dinner. But, if you read the magazines, it seems that I have a frantic high life.”

The hot young Brit can been seen in the second installment of the ‘Twilight Saga, New Moon’ in theaters now, and also is ‘Remember Me’ which hits theaters in March 2010.

EW discusses Edward’s Attire for New Moon

Brandi — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 06:21:34 +0000

In a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly, Mandi Bierly interviewed New Moon and Eclipse costume designer, Tish Monaghan. Rob’s ideas of costume for the new movies was different than the costume for Twilight, in fact, he was quite opinionated about what Edward would be wearing. Below are the Edward/Rob highlights of the interview.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Anyone who’s listened to the Twilight DVD commentary knows that Robert Pattinson wasn’t a fan of Edward’s pea coat.

TISH MONAGHAN: He wasn’t a fan of the pea coat. He wore it in virtually every scene, and I think maybe he just got tired of it. I’m guessing. [Laughs] He just wanted a more mature look. That was part of Edward’s Grade 11 year, and now he’s getting into his graduation year, he’s in a relationship. He had worn hoodies and jeans and sneakers, and Robert, the director [Chris Weitz], and I all wanted to portray him more as a gentleman, more elegant and classic. With our vampire characters, I always went back to the time period in which they were turned to see if there’s any element I could try to simulate in contemporary clothing. He came out of the Edwardian period, around 1910. Of course, most of the gentleman from that time would be wearing suits, coats, hats, etc. We had to pick something that was iconic for the character that would suffice to be used throughout the whole film. At the very beginning of the film, he has one school outfit, and then there’s Bella’s birthday party and disaster strikes. So Edward ends up in that same costume for the remainder of the film. I was thinking of just putting him in a dress shirt and a pair of pants, but Robert wanted to be in a suit.

So I found a modern contemporary look that would be appealing to him and to the massive fan base, a very slim cut, and a fabric that to me was a bit Old World — this beautiful tweed fabric that we got out of England. It had the gray base, which is kind of essential for the Cullen characters in their cool tones, but also had little interesting flecks of blue, which is also Cullen, and a tiny little bit of rust, which I liked because Bella wears earth tones and that kinda linked her into the picture. The general texture of the suit would hold up well no matter what setting he was in: Inside the house for the party, or in the forest, or in the Volturi chamber. We had to show wear on the suit, and it’s much easier to rough up something that has texture to it than just a flat piece of wool. His pants are worn at the knees, they’re rumpled.

I don’t know if anyone’s looking at his pants when he removes his shirt in Italy.
The fans were very excited to see that, I don’t know if Robert was particularly excited to perform that in front of 1,500 people. I think it was quite hard for him to do. We originally tested Edward in a plain white shirt, as a forlorn-looking option. That is also what Robert wanted — he wanted something that would wash him out. But you need to have a color that makes you pop, and so we actually dyed the fabric this beautiful ink blue ourselves. It highlighted his vampire white skin really well. I think it’s a great moment when we see him in these clothes that he’s worn from September to May. When he goes to sacrifice himself, he’s in disrepair. Robert and Chris wanted his shirt to have a rip across the chest, so that’s what we gave him. It’s really kind of tragic to watch him take off his shirt, because he really is sacrificing himself. It looks like he’s just giving up. He’s exposing himself and he’s completely vulnerable, and he just takes his shirt off and he drops it at his feet with his eyes downcast. Then he gets attacked by Bella, who shoves him inside the doors. [Laughs] I don’t find it like a beefcake moment. It really is a moving moment, and I think Robert did a really amazing job for that scene.

The tear across the chest was to symbolize that his heart was torn out when he thought he lost Bella?
Maybe. [Laughs] They just said, “Rip it across the chest.” I said, “Are you sure? No shirt’s gonna rip like this.” And they said, “Yes.” So I did it.

Why couldn’t he remain shirtless for the indoor fight scene? Why put on the robe?
Originally, the guards who grab him were supposed to be coming from the outside — that’s why they give him the robe. But the setting was changed, and they grab him on the inside. So why do they hand him this robe? Because, quite honestly, it looks very cool fighting with this long, flowing garment, and it does hide pads, protect him.

MTV Interview – Rob discusses his co-stars

Brandi — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 06:18:54 +0000

Larry Carroll from MTV is continuing his interview with Rob with part two. Last week we learned about Rob and his views of romance on and off the silver screen, and this week the topics include Taylor Lautner’s transformation, 90 year old fans, and his favorite on-screen vampire.

MTV: Taylor Lautner’s transformation between the movies is now the stuff of legend. Tell us about the first time you saw him and what you thought.

Robert Pattinson: I didn’t see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting ["New Moon"]. When he came back, I had the same reaction as everybody else. I was like, “Jeez, now I have to go to the gym!” But yeah, it was strange. This one was weird, because I hardly did any scenes with Taylor. We did the scenes at the beginning and scenes at the end [together], and he had his entire story line develop without me being around, which is interesting, because I had no idea where his performance was going. So it wasn’t really a competition or anything; it was all independent. Whereas in “Eclipse,” we’re doing scenes together all the time with Bella.

MTV: Who is your favorite movie vampire of all time?

Pattinson: Wow, I don’t really know. I always think of the wrong people. I always think Christian Slater in “Interview With a Vampire,” but he’s not the vampire — he’s the interviewer! I really like Wesley Snipes [in the "Blade" movies]. I think Wesley Snipes is great.

MTV: Out of all the “Twilight” stars, you seem to do the fewest interviews. Why is that?

Pattinson: I think it’s such a risky thing doing interviews. I try to limit the amount of interviews I do, because no one is that interesting, especially when you’re not really saying anything. I don’t particularly want to be some kind of character in society or whatever. So I guess the only thing you can do is do jobs and see if people respond to that.

MTV: You tease yourself as “not saying anything,” and a lot of people see you as being self-deprecating. Are you?

Pattinson: I’m always told that I don’t really know who I am, so hopefully I won’t compartmentalize myself because of that. I am just completely ignorant of [how others perceive me]. I’ve never really struggled with anything up until recently. I’ve got to stop being so self-depreciating, because people are starting to believe it. They’re like, “Yeah, that guy is an idiot.” So I’ve tried to stop doing that.

MTV: What was the last fan interaction that really made you laugh?

Pattinson: I always find it funny when older people come up. There was a woman who came up to me the other day who must have been in her 90s! And she said all this stuff; it’s very unusual. And they say exactly the same things as 12-year-old girls! That is kind of bizarre.

As always, Rob is charming and full of great quotes.

Rob claims ‘Twilight’ Teaches Abstinence Morals

Brandi — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:01:34 +0000

Rob was recently interviewed by Anita Singh from Telegraph.co.uk about an interesting topic, one that he has not talked about. I found this interview to be enticing for different reasons. Rob/Edward has been portrayed as a sex symbol, he is constantly asked by fans to be ‘bitten’, and it seems that a deeper moral of the book/movie has been forgotten. Abstinence is a theme which is huge throughout this series, yet, it is done in a way that it seems to be overshadowed by the sexiness of the actors and the vampire illusion.

Going back to the roots of the book, author Stephenie Meyer is a practicing mormon who does not believe in sex before marriage. This remains throughout the entire series. Pattinson discusses this very topic, and how the abstinence is actually being taught even through the sexiness of the film.

Pattinson, the 23-year-old British actor who plays vampire Edward Cullen, said the chaste relationship between the two lead characters is the secret of Twilight’s appeal. He and Kristen Stewart, who plays schoolgirl heroine Bella Swan, share no more than a kiss in the first three books.

“The success of the Twilight books comes from the fact that fans can lust after Edward and yet, certainly in the first book, there’s no actual sexual contact between him and the series heroine. Twilight is a big metaphor for sexual abstinence, and yet it’s erotic underneath. There are so many elements in the story which are sexy,” Pattinson told The Daily Telegraph.

Isn’t our own imagination better anyway? Isn’t this the message we want our little girls to receive? Rob, yet again, hits on very deep theme of the series he has helped make a success. To view the entire article visit The Daily Telegraph here.

‘New Moon’ – Third Largest film debut

Brandi — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:08:59 +0000

USA Today posted an article by Scott Bowles declaring New Moon the third highest film debut grossing approximately $140.7 million dollars during opening weekend.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon notched the third-largest debut on record this weekend with $140.7 million, according to studio estimates from Nielsen EDI.

The latest chapter of the vampire saga, which has made pinup stars of actors Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, is behind only The Dark Knight’s $158.4 million last year and Spider-Man 3’s $151.1 million in 2007.

From its opening midnight Thursday, Moon was headed for the record books. The film did $26.3 million in midnight screenings, shattering the record of $18.5 million held by Dark Knight.

By midnight Friday, New Moon had broken the single-day record with $72.7 million, again eclipsing Dark Knight’s $67.2 million. It earned an additional $118.1 million overseas.

The final numbers will be reported Monday, November 23rd, but so far New Moon, Rob, and the cast of the film are a success once again! View the entire article here.

Cine Premiere Interviews Rob

Brandi — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:53:52 +0000

Robert Pattinson – The most desired vampire in the world.

Has the character changed for you? And how so?
I’m very surprised at how relaxed I am with everything. I was very nervous before, especially with all the expectations. But since Twilight did well, I think I’m less nervous now.

What can you tell us about Edward in this sequel?
He feels like he’s lost everything since James, Victoria and Laurent appeared in his life. For him, everything spiraled out of control for him, and he’s struggling to stay afloat by pretending that everything is fine. So that’s why everything happens faster this time; he’s been considering it for a while.

And he thinks he’s doomed anyway, right?
Yes, actually from the first movie he feels that way. And in this movie he thinks he’s doing the right thing, even if later he realizes he made a mistake.

Edward is a little mean in this movie, isn’t he?
I don’t think he’s mean in this one. I think he’s mean in the next movie (laughs). He’s just lost and he takes the typical male attitude of finding a person he loves and throwing away everything because of his self-doubts. And then he realizes, after he messed up, that you only have few chances. And that’s the good thing about Bella.

She keeps giving him those chances.
Yes, but for her is not even about giving him another chance. She just knows more about the relationship than him, and he just blames himself for everything.

Have you ever been that way?
I’m always that way! In every relationship I’ve been this way, it’s ridiculous.

Do you dump them?
No, they actually dump me (laughs).

UK Glamour’s Interview with Rob

Brandi — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:53:55 +0000

UK Glamour.com’s Charlotte Duck had an exclusive interview with Rob. Receiving Rob’s perspective on any topic is always interesting. He is witty, charming, and truly narrows in on his character’s feelings and emotions. Rob discusses how he traveled to Vancouver a month earlier than the rest of the cast in order to prepare New Moon’s Edward for shooting, the quality he wishes he had that Edward possesses, his body image, how he spends his free time, and what he’d like from Santa. To view the entire article click here.

A small sample of Rob’s wit:

What would you think of Edward if you met him in real life?
I’d think he looks a bit weird – like why are you wearing all of that make-up? I think I would probably find him quite interesting. He’s quite old and stuff.

Classic romantic triangle takes monstrous form in ‘New Moon’

Brandi — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:59:00 +0000

USA Today has released an article today, entitled ‘Classic romantic triangle takes monstrous form in New Moon.’ Reporter, Susan Wloszczyna, talks to the New Moon creators, Stephenie Meyer, Melissa Rosenberg, and Chris Weitz about the characters and what New Moon represents in the Twilight series.

Although this article is filled with great details about the movie, the characters, the actors, and what is about to come our way, the following quote seems to say everything.

Edward is the first love, an obsession fueled by the flames of desire and the torture of heartache when he isn’t near. Jacob is the loyal buddy, the guy you’re at ease with and who knows you better than anyone, who slowly evolves into something much more.

Interview and Video from Hollywood.com

Brandi — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:42:23 +0000

This time next week, New Moon will finally be in the theaters. The anticipation has been building and the hopes are high. Since we received word from Summit Entertainment that New Moon was officially a go, fans have been pondering how the script and directors would deal with the backseat that Edward took in the book. Of course, Edward being gone is pivotal in the story, yet, how could they please the fans without Robert Pattinson’s presence? All those questions have been answered and so far the crowds seem pleased with the solution. In the book, Edward was in Bella’s head, which is very easy for a person to visualize. On screen, Edward becomes an illusion that only Bella can see. Perfect! Bella still goes without Edward, but the fans don’t have to go without Rob!

Hollywood.com’s reporter, Thomas Leupp, sat down with Rob and interviewed him. He asked him questions about how he felt with the more predominant role in New Moon. Rob also talks about working with a new director and what it’s like to have to do the slow motion scenes. Of course, Rob is filled with some great one liners! Enjoy the video!
