Film4’s Rachel George attended the London premiere of “Remember Me” last night and has kindly sent us her report of the event. You can check it out below and you can also view a slideshow of Film4’s premiere photos HERE.
Last night I developed profound industrial deafness from all the screaming. It was totally worth it. Every 16 year olds’ (and a few Twilight Moms’) obsession, Robert Pattinson, graced the red carpet in Leicester Square for the premiere of his new movie Remember Me.
Looking every bit as biteable as he does playing vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen (if slightly more pink-skinned) in a suit jacket and light blue shirt, Rob proved he’s not only a decent actor but a lovely, charming man, whose self deprecating, thoughtful, unaffected interview persona is utterly real. The levels of adoration Robert Pattinson inspires seems to make words like ‘heartthrob’ redundant. Fans slept overnight in Leicester Square to see their obsession, the boy from Barnes with the semi-fro, and their patience was rewarded. R-Pattz spent at least an hour and a half speaking to fans, signing books, posters, notepads and hopefully not expertly folded marriage contracts. Read more after the cut. [..]

EW is asking readers who was their favourite leading man, as “Alice in Wonderland”, “Green Zone”, “Shutter Island”, and Robert Pattinson’s “Remember Me” were all battling for the box office top spot this weekend. You can leave them a comment HERE and choose your favourite leading man.
Depp, Damon, DiCaprio, and Pattinson all wanted you to choose them this past weekend, offering a quartet of movies that, taken together, might be read as the resting pulse of serious, mainstream American cinema. Which is why I’ve always had a particular fondness for springtime wide releases: They’re so content to be what they are. There’s no pretense, no great expectations. Spring movies don’t rattle their chains and bellow like summer joy-ride blockbusters; they don’t hustle for prestige (with the best of manners, of course) like autumnal Oscar bait. What you see is what you get.
And by that measure, Alice in Wonderland, Green Zone, Shutter Island, and Remember Me comprise a pretty classy assortment pack. [...]
So who was your man this weekend?
NJ’s Stephen Whitty posted a new interview with Robert Pattinson, and you can read the full interview after the cut.
“I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming,” Robert Pattinson says with a small smile. “I thought I’d be doing this tiny little film in New York, just hang out in New York.”
It didn’t quite work out that way.
Pattinson made the “tiny little film,” all right — a perfectly right-sized indie called “Remember Me” that opened Friday, with Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin as college lovers and Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper as the fathers who inevitably complicate things.
It was the filming itself that was over the top.
“It was nightmarish,” says director Allen Coulter, who handled the on-location shoot. “How he managed it, I don’t know. The paparazzi and the hordes of females?”
At one point in the movie, Pattinson’s character — a Holden Caulfield-ish rich kid named Tyler — has a chat with his tween sister in a city park. Coulter says hundreds of screaming fans showed up, hoping for a glimpse of the “Twilight” phenomenon.
“Just bedlam,” the filmmaker says. “But I thought he handled it very well. He thought about nothing but the film. He’s quite an actor.” [..]
Nikki Baughan at Roll Credits has posted a great interview with Rob in which he discusses Remember Me, his fight scenes, the fans, and speaking with an American accent.
Were you hurt in that particular fight scene?
Oh no, not at all. The only thing that I hurt myself on was a bit they cut out of the movie where I kind of flipped out afterwards out of my own impotence in this fight. You walk into the big confrontation and end up getting completely destroyed by your competitor. I was hitting myself afterwards in a little spur of the moment thing which they cut out of the movie. I hit myself so hard, I was in so much pain for the rest of the shoot. It was the most stupid thing I’ve ever done.Did you have any trouble with the New York Bronx accent?
I grew up watching American movies. I learned how to act, to whatever extent, by watching American movies way more than English ones so I kind of, in a lot of ways, feel more comfortable speaking in an American accent. It feels more real to me in a lot of ways.

Remember Me, which opened on Friday, has done well for itself at the box office, coming in third among this weekend’s other opening films with $8.3 million so far
The most oddly high-profile release of the weekend was the romantic drama Remember Me. The film was seen by many as a test of Twilight star Robert Pattinson’s draw as a movie star. Of course, if Summit was trying to prop up the numbers by attaching the Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer to prints of Remember Me, it might have helped if they had NOT released the trailer online the day before the opening. So while some may decry the ‘mere’ $8.3 million, we must recall that a movie like this wouldn’t have made $1.75 if not for what drawing power Pattinson has. Sure Shia Labeouf can open slickly-marketed thrillers like Eagle Eye and Disturbia, but let’s see what happens when he has to open a movie all by himself that doesn’t already look particularly appealing.
Besides, as word leaked out about the film’s extended-middle finger of an ending, even some of Pattinson’s die hard fans apparently decided to stay away. Speaking of females, the gender split was 84/16 on this one. Point being, if he can open Remember Me to $8.3 million all by himself, he may just be a movie star.
