We have just added more photos to our image gallery today. The first is a new set of four photos taken of Rob during his early years when he performed at the Barnes Theatre Company.
The next is a new magazine scan from the May 18th issue of People Magazine’s review of Little Ashes, though not overall very favorable, they did describe Rob’s performance as appropriate for the character he was portraying. Thanks to Sherry for sending in the scan!
Pattinson offers, appropriately, a surrealistic turn as Dali, flitting dreamily from one emotional extreme to the next.
In celebration of Broadway’s revival of the musical “West Side Story,” photographer Mark Seliger has recreated scenes from the musical in a special photo spread for a Vanity Fair web exclusive that was published today. Rob is in two photos (though only seen clearly in one and way in the back in the other, you’ll know him by the hair) as he jumps and dances as a Jet!
You can see the entire web article and photos here or just the photos in our image gallery here.
Thanks Bre!
Variety talked to Equus producer David Pugh, who confirmed that Rob will not be taking over Daniel Radcliffe’s role in the play. But he also had this to say about working with Rob:
It wasn’t the most preposterous of ideas — Pattinson appeared alongside Radcliffe in two of the “Harry Potter” movies. But Pugh told Variety that won’t happen. He has, however, confirmed that he and Pattinson will be working together on a theater project in 2010. More than that he won’t say.
So there’s been a lot of news today, including these two pictures sent in by "MB". They are from the Barnes Theatre Company Facebook where they are probably getting a lot of traffic from Rob fans. Or if they weren’t, they are now!
For those of you not familiar with the play, here’s a crash course. It was written by American playwright Thornton Wilder who won a Pulitzer prize for it. Rob played the part of George Gibbs who falls in love as a teenager, marries the girl of his dreams, and then has to move on when she dies. The main theme, is to remind us to appreciate every second of even the most ordinary days.
You are an actor who is still waiting for a break. You are hardly living on the paycheck you received from your last acting appearance. You drive a second hand car and live in a crumbling apartment. But you are not complaining.
Then the biggest break of your career comes along. The biggest role a young actor could ever get — almost like getting that plum “young Indiana Jones” role that went to then unknown Shia LeBeouf — lands on your lap. Would you trade your rather blissful anonymity for the expected craziness that inevitably comes with a role as hugely popular as the one you are offered?
For Robert Pattinson, being cast as Edward Cullen — the most devastatingly handsome vampire in the whole world, the answer is quite obvious, “it feels like my own opinion is completely validated now,” he jokes.
