Robert Pattinson: Sexy on the Set

Having worked through the weekend, Robert Pattinson was back on the set this morning (June 15) for another day of filming “Remember Me.”

The hunky “Twilight” stud worked it for the camera like a seasoned pro, sporting a plaid button-up shirt with a t-shirt underneath and jeans with sneakers.

Rob’s “New Moon” costar Ashley Greene recently told press that she’s a bit worried that Pattinson’s fame is a little too much for him.

She explained, “Oh God. Poor Rob is already a Beatle. His whole life is documented. If he picks his nose, it’s all over the Internet. He’s just done for. I think he’s kinda freakin’ out, like, ‘What the f--k is going on?’”

Robert Pattinson: On the scene at his New York movie shoot (sans vampires)

Robert Pattinson: On the scene at his New York movie shoot (sans vampires)

Robert Pattinson's new movie, which is tentatively titled Remember Me, began filming in New York City this afternoon. As an exasperated crew member was overheard complaining, "They might as well call it Paparazzi and 'Tweens, 'cause there's more of us than them!" It was a fair statement considering how the crowd had swelled substantially (a rough estimate of 200) outside of NYU's Silver Center of Arts & Science, after fans had texted and called their friends to get to downtown Manhattan, like, omigod, right now!

The scene in question was of Pattinson (wearing a plaid shirt and donning those now-trademark sunglasses between takes) walking down the street while talking to a friend, smoking a cigarette, and holding a cup of coffee (he's versatile!). During one scene, the actor who plays Pattinson's friend mockingly yelled, "Have a good day, sweetheart!" as he walked away.

Oh, how the hundreds of girls who lined Washington Square Park would have loved to yell that to the Twilight star -- though the couple of "I love you Robert!"s and "I love you Edward!"s that squeaked in will inevitably make for some tough sound editing. Members of the mostly young, female crowd, some of whom had skipped school and arrived at the scene as early as 9 a.m. to watch their beloved Pattinson, said they had been tipped off by onlocationvacations.com. While the crowd mostly kept calm during filming, once the movie broke for lunch, a flood of girls chased Pattinson as he was escorted to his next location. So will this wreak havoc on Remember Me's fliming or will the cast and crew simply have to up the security/location ante?

'The Twilight Saga New Moon' Trailer Analysis

'The Twilight Saga New Moon' Trailer Analysis

Monday, June 01, 2009

I make no apologies about how big of a Twilight fan I am. I'm obsessed. I watched all of the MTV Movie Awards last night just so that I could catch every single shot of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and the rest of the Twilight crew. I shushed the room every time one of them opened their mouths to speak. I downloaded the New Moon trailer and have watched it over and over again. Because of all this, I've noticed a couple of awesome and a couple not-so-awesome trailer moments I'd like to share with you today.

More on...Twilight >>

First, let me say that I think the trailer is amazing. Twilight won all the awards possible last night (almost) but it also won in the exclusive trailer/clip arena. As a Harry Potter fan as well, I was sorely disappointed to find out that the clip was a slightly extended version of one of the trailers. Moreover, the cast didn't even attend the awards to present the "exclusive" footage. Fail. Twilight, on the other hand, rocked my world. From earlier last week when I saw the first 14 seconds to today when I finished my fifteenth view of the trailer, I've been captivated in body and mind. Edward, Bella, Jacob and the rest of the characters in this wonderfully angst-ridden novel have come to life. When I start rereading New Moon (again) tonight, I know my imagination will take off from where this trailer started. I will love New Moon. No doubt.

So, starting from the beginning of the trailer:


Hit: The first 14 seconds are so beautiful. There are no words. The Edward and Bella kiss is great. We all know what she really wanted for her birthday.

Miss: Kristen Stewart is a bit too coy for Bella when asking for this kiss. Not by a lot, but after watching the trailer over and over again I just know I find something off about it.

Hit: The love confession is pure gushy romance perfection.

Hit: Alice's over-enthusiasm. I really wanted Alice and Bella to develop a deep friendship in New Moon and this looks promising.

Miss: Am I forgetting something? Why does Edward look so upset at the beginning of Bella's party? Did they just have the "I want to be a vampire like you" fight before this? He looks like he's going to kill Esme as she hugs Bella.

Hit: Rosalie, however, is supposed to be scowling at the party and Nikki Reed appears to be nailing it.

Miss: After Jasper tries to attack Bella, Rosalie looks concerned. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen.

Hit: The goodbye scene. It's going to break my heart. I know it. Also, we don't get any Kristen Stewart freak outs like at the end of Twilight.

Miss: Why, oh why couldn't they just give me Edward's Meadow? This scene is taking place in a meadow but it's definitely not Edward's. Edward's meadow would be much prettier.

Hit: Taylor Lautner's abs. I think a lot of women are reminding themselves that he's only 17 years old.

Slight Miss: So at first I was really bothered because in the book, the wolf pack saves Bella from Laurent and she doesn't know it's Jacob. It adds to the suspense and the eventual reveal. In the trailer, it looks like Jacob phases in front of Bella to save her from Laurent but it's very clearly two scenes. She's wearing a brown jacket in one and a blue jacket with her backpack on in the other. I don't know how the werewolf reveal will work out, but I hope it's good.

Concern: The CGI is very "Chronicles of Narnia" and I actually didn't like the CGI for those movies so I'm a bit concerned about the werewolves.


Overall, I squealed so much there's no denying how much I love this trailer. 11.20.09 is burned into my brain. I can't help but sit and wait in anticipation. Check out the slideshow of my analysis to see all the pictures that go along with my comments:

SANTA MONICA, California — The "Twilight" movie might not be in 3-D, but as it arrives to DVD and Blu-ray on Saturday, don't be surprised if you find one of its stars jumping off the screen and into the room with you.

"I'm not usually the kind of guy that would go to [a fan event] or try to sneak into one," actor Edi Gathegi said recently, revealing plans that will undoubtedly leave some fans shrieking this weekend. "But I'm going to step outside of my comfort zone."

With the feverishly anticipated "Twilight" special-edition DVD landing in stores Saturday, midnight parties are being planned at bookshops, video stores and other locations all over the country. Twilighters can find the parties near them by visiting the movie's Web site and entering their ZIP code.

On Wednesday, a rep for Summit Entertainment confirmed an unprecedented plan for the DVD launch: "Twilight" stars are being dispatched to secret locations all over the country. If you attend one of the midnight launch parties listed on the site, you could come face-to-face with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart or other favorites.

Likely included in these drop-ins are director Catherine Hardwicke and the vampire Laurent himself, Gathegi. "I'm going to sneak into one," he grinned when we asked him about his plans recently. "I don't know which one I'm going to yet, but I just got off the phone with Catherine, like, a few hours ago, and she might be going to one."

Fan speculation is sure to run rampant over the next several days, as fans debate which of their locations could host a "Twilight" star. But even if they don't end up hanging out with the newly buff Taylor Lautner, fans seem likely to still be thrilled with their DVDs — which include exclusive featurettes, a new audio commentary track from the stars and a seven-part behind-the-scenes documentary.

Check out everything we've got on "Twilight."

Celebrate Twilight's DVD Release with Midnight Parties

Well, it only makes sense that, in honor of the vampire romance saga Twilight coming to DVD, there would be some nocturnal festivities to celebrate one of the biggest pop culture spectacles in recent years.

Summit Entertainment announced today that on Friday, March 20, 2009, from 10:00 PM until 12:00 midnight, they are rewarding Twilight fans with theme parties at selected retailers across the country in honor of the DVD release of the film.

To geek out at midnight with your fellow Edward Cullen-philes, visit the official Twilight website, where all you have to do to find the nearest party is enter your zip code.

Twilighters Arrive in Droves for Open Casting

Tue., Feb. 10, 2009 1:09 PM PST by Breanne L. Heldman

Summit Entertainment

Dakota Fanning, AnnaLynne McCord, Lucy Hale and Vanessa Hudgens aren't the only people jostling for roles in the next installment of the Twilight series.

Fans of the vampire love saga traveled far and wide to Vancouver Sunday for the chance to join hottie Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the second film, New Moon, set to hit theaters in November.

The film's casting agents held an open call in the Canadian city and advertised the event on Craigslist. According to the Vancouver Sun, they sought "first nations/aboriginal actors and actresses between the ages of 15 and 25" who would be available throughout filming from March to May.

The line began forming as early as 5 a.m. and soon snaked down a street and around the corner. Fans from as far as Florida willingly froze as they studied Stephenie Meyer's book, anxiously waiting their turn.

Sadly, so many people came camera-ready that assistants began telling the crowd as early as 12:30 p.m. they could accept no more applicants.

"It sucks," Rosanna Razor, 22, told the newspaper after being turned away. "I was here since 9 a.m. I came up from Seattle."

"This is more than we expected," casting assistant Bim Narine told the publication.

Once inside, candidates were prescreened before receiving afternoon audition times and copies of scripts with recognizable character names blacked out.

Presumably, those cast would join Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black and the rest of his Quileute tribe on the La Push reservation.

Robert Pattinson: 'I'm a Miser'

By Adam, February 11 2009

Robert Pattinson doesn't like spending money.

The British actor - who became a household name playing vampire Edward Cullen in the recent Twilight film - says that, despite his success and earning potential, he still likes to live within his means.

"I'm such a miser," the 22-year-old tells Teen Now, "it's kind of pathetic.

"I don't know why I'm like that. I have a car that is like a death trap and I still won't buy another one. I almost died in it about five times and I still won't get a new car, which is silly because it's like I'm going to squeeze every last dollar out of this two grand ($2,000) that I spent on this car, even it takes my life with it.

"I still live in a monthly leased apartment. Everything's rented - I have a pay-as-you-go phone and stuff and I'm always ready to leave."

"Don't spend any money ever," Pattinson says, "and then you'll be rich!"
