REUTERS: ROBERT PATTINSON READIES FANS FOR ‘NEW MOON’

Posted March 26th, 2009 By: Evie 18 Comments »

Reuters has a short interview with Robert Pattinson where they briefly go over his career and his thoughts on ‘New Moon’:

 
“The book of ‘New Moon,’ the majority of it is incredibly depressing,” Pattinson told Reuters. “Obviously ‘Twilight’ was about finding first love and the difficulties of that, but ‘New Moon’ is really about loss and reconciliation, but the reconciliation isn’t completely full.”

“It’s a strange story to have for a market that, I guess, wants to see a love story,” he said.

Nevertheless, the London-born Pattinson said everyone involved is working to make “New Moon” as big a success as “Twilight.”

Pattinson’s rising star has turned the former model into a favorite target of the paparazzi. Only last year, he was a relatively unknown actor whose big film credits were supporting roles in a pair of “Harry Potter” movies.

“It’s turned into this crazy situation. I guess it has become a sort of phenomenon now which I really, really didn’t expect,” Pattinson said.

So, he often escapes to one of his first loves, music. He plays guitar and piano, and his song “Never Think” made it onto the “Twilight” soundtrack.

For now, he said there are no plans to put his music on “New Moon,” but he has become “obsessed” with composing songs.

It sounds like Rob has a good handle on the mood and feeling of ‘New Moon’. I can definitely see the loss and reconciliation, for me those are the main parts of ‘New Moon’.

What did you think of what Rob had to say? What do you think he meant by the reconciliation not being full?

    not too sure what he meant but i think he meant that the reconcilation wasn’t smooth in that there were always threats of the volturri hanging in the air and victoria is always lurking close by

  • twilightcountryresident

    I’m just glad to hear he’s composing songs. Maybe someday we’ll get to hear more of them – or even see him put out an album!

  • Cat

    I think maybe he’s referring to how Bella was happy to see him but worried he was going to leave her again at the end of New Moon. He kept trying to reassure her that he wasn’t and talking of making it up to her. I would imagine that if I’d read the book from the perspective of trying to understand Edward that’s what I’d have taken away too.

    This theme comes up again in Eclipse when she asks him to stay with her for the fight. A similar experience was shown after talking to Jacob and knowing that while it would hurt to not be with Jake she literally can not live without Edward.

  • AllisCullen

    The reconciliation isn’t full, due to the fact that The Volturi are still in the background, and Edward’s still not sure that the future Alice sees for Bella, is what he wants.

    I think, anyway.

  • Just Megan

    He (Edward) shouldn’t have left to begin with! Perhaps if he would have stayed he wouldn’t be trying to gain Bella’s trust again.

  • Cat

    I think that he’s probably looking at it from Edward’s perspective rather than what we know Bella is thinking. He can’t read her mind so he has so go by her cues and what she says. At the end of NM the feeling is there that Bella still thinks he’s going to leave, even with her “epiphany” that he loved her all along – and he vowed to spend his life making it up to her.

    This theme comes up again in Eclipse when she makes him stay with her for the fight because she can’t bear the thought of being without him. And again at the end of Eclipse when she’s hysterical all night after talking to Jacob and needs to explain to him that even though she seems miserable without Jake she knows that she literally can’t live without Edward. And Edward is confused in BD when he can tell that Bella needs Jacob around during the pregnancy.

    I can see why a guy would think that everything isn’t all patched up nice and neat if he were reading the books. :)

    I JUST LOVE ROBERT SO MUCH AND CAN’T WAIT TO SEE AND/OR HEAR HIM AGAIN!!! :) :) :)

    Cat, I think you got it right. Even though Bella had her epiphany, and said she understands now that Edward loves her, she still has insecurities. Her pain was so intense and so deep, she will need the time he talked about to have his love remove all traces of his leaving.

    I think in Eclipse, she used the can’t-bear-it-if-you-leave-me excuse to keep him safe. To keep him from being killed in the newborn battle. I didn’t get from that, that she thought he was leaving her as he did in New Moon.

    As for the part of the interview where Rob mentioned being obsessed writing songs, that is the best news I have read in any interview since I came under the spell of all things Twilight. I just can’t believe that if he continues to write, that he won’t at some time produce an album. If he is using music as an escape, can you just imagine those songs??? I just hope we don’t have to wait too long to hear some of them.

    The reconciliation isn’t full because they are still at odds over whether Bella should stay human or become a vampire! The “happily ever after” doesn’t come until Breaking Dawn–they’re married, Bella is a vampire, and Edward is happy about it.

  • Rosalice

    Every interview I read or see with Rob makes me love him even more. I love how honest he is and how truly shocked and scared he is by the phenomenon that’s now surrounding him. I really hope he carries on with his music – gotta love that voice! – and that he doesn’t give up on the acting ‘cos he is amazing!! :-)

  • Rosalice

    Every interview I read or see of Rob’s makes me love him even more. I love how honest and grounded he is and how he seems to be so shocked and scared by the phenomenon that’s now surrounding him. I really hope he carries on with his music – gotta love that voice! – and that he carries on with his acting ‘cos he is amazing! :-)

  • vbchica

    I think the reconciliation isnt full because of Jacobs presence. While Bella chooses him, he recognizes that part of her needs Jacob.

  • Rosalice

    This interview makes me love Rob even more – if that’s possible. He seems so down to earth and humble and I love the way that he is so shocked and scared by the sheer scale of the phenomenon he’s become such a huge part of! I really hope he continues with his music – gotta love that voice! – and that he doesn’t decide to shut himself away from the spotlight. I know he finds it hard to deal with but he’s so amazing it really would be a waste.

    I think when it comes to the heart you can’t make it easy by any way and when you have to go so indept in to that feeling it can be so draining even if it a love story because their so many diffenet things that go through your head. so with Eward and Bella that seem to be the biggest role that they will have to play with so much pain and choices that need to be made so i just hope that they get it right because the book show it all the ups and downs

  • gaelle

    i sooo want to see more of rob´s songs in new moon, or just about all the movies to come!

    :D

  • spunkransomlvr

    i think he is absolutelly amazing. i luv his music!

  • ErikaP

    Every time I want to reply to one of these news blogs, I get the 404 error code! Watch this will go through…

    I agree with everyone. Edward did state at the end of NM that he felt like something was missing—inside his soul, even though he did not have one. Bella said…I had the same feeling. Missing pieces. We all feel that way about the people we care and love dearly and we just go mad when they leave us.

    I hope we get to see and/or hear the flat screen TV getting destroyed by Edward when Bella has her voting at the end of NM. Or is it EC?

    Pattz mentioned he wants to make an album but he does not want a record company…he wants to do it w/o that corporate B.S….go independent!

    Team Twilight (I’m for everyone)
