Actor Robert Pattinson has predicted that his new art-house film Cosmopolis will be embraced by Twilight fans.
“Some of them will just want you to play vampires, but most people don’t want you to repeat yourself,” the Briton told the BBC.

“People put down Twilight fans, but yesterday I got given on the red carpet in Berlin all these books from people who are lined up in the rain and are probably judged by everyone to be crazy.
“I got a signed first edition of the Martin Amis book, Money; a Lawrence Ferlinghetti book; the new [Michel] Houellebecq book. All these people come up and give what they’ve been reading and found interesting. This is not giving you teddy bears!”
