THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: NEW INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT PATTINSON
The Hollywood Reporter is back after their ‘Breaking’ news from earlier, and now their Risky Business Blog has released the full interview with Robert Pattinson. In it, they discuss the differences from the New Moon book to the script, his schedule after the second Twilight saga film, his upcoming role in Remember Me, and more. Below are some bits and pieces:
THR: Let’s talk about “Twilight.” There are four books. Is the plan for you to do them all?Pattinson: I have committed to the fourth one, “Breaking Dawn.” But I don’t know quite when Summit is going to shoot it because of my schedule.
THR: How is the script for “New Moon” different from the second book?
Pattinson: It kind of plays relatively close to it. I would still describe it as being a sort of supporting role (to Bella’s story). I think it would have been a bit cheesy if it had just stayed as a voiceover part as my character is a voice in her head in the second book. They’ve shot these hallucination bits of the film. You’re playing a figment of Bella’s imagination and I was trying to do it in a really 2-D kind of way. I hope it doesn’t come out flat and boring (laughs).
Pattinson: We’ve got four days left on the shoot for this. I’m going to Italy for the remaining days of the shoot.
THR: And then?
Pattinson: Then I’m going straight into filming (the relationship drama) “Remember Me,” then have just three days off before going back to finishing up the third instalment in the “Twilight” series, “Eclipse.” After that I am doing a film “Unbound Captives.” I can’t say much about that but I know the script needs me to learn Comanche! Maybe it’ll be like in “Dances With Wolves!” My part is entirely in Comanche, ha ha.
THR: You’ve been shooting sequences from the second and third in the “Twilight” franchise at the same time. Is that harder for an actor than doing separate films?
Pattinson: Not really. We will just shoot the Vancouver bits (for ‘Eclipse`’) and then “Moon” is out later this year.
THR: Did the huge global success of “Twilight” affect you as an actor?
Pattinson: I prefer to do nothing than something stupid. I feel there’s so much pressure because of this idea of career. It’s a little worrying. It made so much money that now you get judged not by how good the film is but how much money the film your in is making. That’s the scary thing now.
THR: Presumably there will is the hope that people who like you from “Twilight” will go and see “Remember Me”?
Pattinson: It’s going to be helped by that. I just hope when people go and see it, they don’t say, “Edward wouldn’t do that.” That’s not going to be good!

Wow! Only 4 days left of filming for New Moon. It seems like it went by so fast! The hallucinations sound like a great idea and I can’t wait to see them on film. I agree that the voiceovers might be a little hard to portray on screen without them looking cheesy. I can’t wait…come on, November. Get here already!
What did you think of this interview? What do you think of the hallucinations? And what about Rob’s other films – will you go see those?
