Jimmy Fallon Talks About Working With Rob on 'Robert is Bothered'
0 comments Posted by kotang at 2:55 PMPopSugar: Can we expect to see Robert is Bothered at the Emmys?
Jimmy Fallon: Of all the bits on our show that we can do, we gave [the Academy] 10 different versions of all sorts of things we could do, to which they said these are all great, but we have to give out awards. So we have to cut it down to three bits. And Robert is Bothered was not in there. I pitched Robert is Bothered for Teen Choice Awards.
PS: How was Robert Pattinson to work with on Robert is Bothered?
JF: He was a great sport. He climbed up in the tree and did it with us. I've never heard louder screams in my life. The screams didn't compare to anyone, even when Justin Bieber has been on. He was describing his movie Remember Me and people would just not stop screaming. And I was just thinking this is so cool. What an experience. I really hope he's enjoying this ride. He's a great guy and he deserves it. He was really shy and really happy — exactly the same backstage as he is on the interview. He's a charming guy, but just really shy and I just hope he's enjoying the moment. It must be super exciting to be him.

Chattanooga Times Free Press Video: Getting a Glimpse of Twilight’s Robert Pattinson
0 comments Posted by kotang at 9:49 AMGirls from Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee flocked to West Cove Road in Kensington, Ga. to try to get a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward Cullen in the popular Twilight series, as movie crews film Water For Elephants on Friday morning.

“Ladies and Gentleman!” His hand stretched toward us and traced the circular bleachers. He wore a bright red jacket neatly stuffed with a crisp white handkerchief. The black top hat fit snugly and in his left hand he held a long black baton. “… The most spectacular show on earth!!” He shot his baton toward the entrance of the tent and the crowd erupted with applause. I clapped my hands and whooped. There were no animals entering the tent as suggested. In fact, absolutely nothing happened but we continued to cheer. Christoph Waltz had made an announcement that caused our hair to stand on end and imaginations to run wild.Click here for Part 1 and Part 2.
By the third take some of the magic had worn off but Christoph continued the performance like it had been his first. Once the shot was complete we returned to our holding tent. I found an area of the tent where a steady breeze of air came through and wrote song titles inspired by the story of Water for Elephants.
The AD returned about 45 minutes later. “Ok, I need some nimble people. If you think you’re nimble, follow me!” I closed my notebook and stuffed it in my open backpack. The AD wore a bright blue shirt that was easy to follow to the entrance of the tent. He lifted the flap and one by one we passed into the Big Top. The AD suddenly blocked the entrance. “Woah woah woah. I said nimble. Come on now.” A gentleman that was probably in his early seventies froze like he’d been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. The AD continued, “Go back to holding please. This is for nimble folks only.” The man turned with his head tilted toward the ground and walked away. For a second I felt bad for the man but why had he joined a group of twenty-somethings for an action shot?
Inside the tent four horses were harnessed to a tall carriage stuffed with men holding band instruments. The horses were pointed toward the entrance of the tent. Our gang of “nimble” Rubes were placed precariously in the bleachers near the carriage while Francis Lawrence and Rodrigo Prieto, the cinematographer, stood close-by discussing the angle of the next shot. Our instructions were to look shocked. This turned out to be very easy. On “Action” the horses took off like cavalry. As the carriage tipped side-ways the stunt musicians were strategically thrown from the cart and instruments went flying in all directions. My mouth opened and my muscles tightened. I stared at the men spread across the dusty circus floor in shock – no acting skills necessary.
The afternoon sun took over the valley and heat set in. After a satisfying lunch I contemplated how much had happened in just two days. I wondered what Tai the elephant thought of all the commotion. My hat had flattened on top so I re-shaped the dimples and slugged down a big glass of water before heading back over the tracks. In the Big Top the camera equipment had been moved toward the menagerie. The acting doubles for Rob and Christoph talked with the stunt coordinator and began rehearsing. First in slow-motion but soon in full-speed, the two actors fought. They choked, pushed, and hit each other as we watched from the bleachers. Soon, the lead actors emerged and studied the scene their doubles had worked out. After several reenactments, Rob and Christoph took over. One rehearsal and “action”; Christoph grunted heavily and swung with might. Rob winced in pain and shoved the bull-hook away. His expression of agony made the painted blood on his face come to life. I watched on from the edge of my seat imagining my own musical film score as the scene played out.
Finally the “background artists” were called to work. “Come on down here folks,” said the AD. He grabbed my shoulder and lined me up a few feet from where Rob was now laying in the dirt. Christoph straddled the wounded young actor and Reese Witherspoon stood two feet from my right. Rodrigo, the cinematographer, worked with Reese for a moment to find the perfect angle for her entrance. A few seconds later the slate snapped in front of the camera the scene turned fierce. Reese approached the scrapping men and I raced ahead to the menagerie. Phew – no buffalo. A line of Rubes followed after me. When I turned, Francis jumped out from his director’s chair and approached the lead actors grinning with excitement. “It looks really great!! Let’s do it again.”

Cheryl Hagan spent 10 hours in the car Thursday, driving up from Orlando with her 12-year-old daughter just for the chance to get close to a vampire.
Her trip to West Cove Road in Walker County, Ga., where “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson is filming his new movie, “Water for Elephants,” is her first visit to a movie set. But she has attended 11 “Twilight” conventions, including one in Boston two weeks ago.
“We drove to Boston, so 10 hours is nothing,” she said Friday morning. “I know that I’m obsessed, and I’m OK with that.”
“Obsessed” is the operative word. Fans of Pattinson, best known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” series, have a website titled “robsessed.com,” which trumpets itself as “the ultimate, all-access guide to the world’s biggest, hottest new star.”
By 9 a.m., about 50 people stood in the already-sweltering heat near a Walker County Sheriff’s Office car on the road that runs between Pigeon and Lookout mountains. By 11 a.m., the crowds were twice that size.
“I’m hoping Rob will at least come out and wave,” said 16-year-old Ashley Gretzinger, of Rock Spring, Ga. Her grandfather, Ben Yother, drove her to the set.
“If I see him, I will be happy,” she said.
The fans on West Cove Road were kept about a quarter of a mile from the house, but the early arrivals were able to see the star through the oak and cedar trees as scenes were shot in the front yard of the farmhouse selected back in the spring by location scouts.
Oscar winner and Nashville native Reese Witherspoon also stars in the film, but no one at West Cove Road seemed interested in seeing her. And there’s no indication she’s coming to the area to film.
Fans reported seeing Pattinson on Thursday night at The Meeting Place restaurant on Market Street and at the Read House.
Officials with Chattanooga’s Tri-State, which is providing security for the movie set, said there were no reports Friday of overzealous fans busting through the security perimeter, trying desperately to meet Pattinson.
On Friday, the main job of the company, a division of ERMC, was to make sure people were not coming onto the property and to keep an eye on the equipment, said Terry Higdon, director of security for Tri-State.
He said he couldn’t say how long the company was contracted to provide security, nor would he say how many security personnel were on the movie site.
The rest of the shooting schedule and any possible additional locations are not known, but more scenes will reportedly be shot sometime Monday and perhaps Tuesday at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, which has a working train and has been featured in recent films such as “Leatherheads” and “The Scottsboro Boys.”
Jill Dorje, 40, drove her 13-year-old daughter Maya down from Liberty, Ill., hoping to get a glimpse. Maya said she has done some acting in school and community theater and had applied to be an extra for this film.
“I’m a fan of his movies and would like to see him,” Maya said.
Chattanooga’s Film Commission, which falls under the auspices of the city’s Education, Arts and Culture Department, has been working the last two years to make Chattanooga a viable choice for big-budget Hollywood films, according to Missy Crutchfield, director of the department.
“When crews come here, they sleep in our hotels, they eat in our restaurants, they hire painters, carpenters, crew and extras,” she said. “They can have a tremendous economic impact.”
“We are here because we love Robert Pattinson.”
Bethany Campbell, 18, Red Bank
“They (his girlfriend and her friend) made us come with them.”
Carlos Ramirez, 19, Red Bank
“I think it’s crazy, dude.”
Andy Ramirez, 18, Red Bank
“I applied to be an extra but did not get the part. We came here because it was closer than any other place to us to be able to see him.”
Maya Dorje, 13, Liberty, Ill.
“She (my daughter) wanted to come and I was open to the idea. We have no idea if we will be able to get close enough to see him.”
Jill Dorje, 40, Liberty, Ill.

Remember Me - DVD
Directed by: Allen CoulterStarring: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Martha Plimpton, Lena Olin, Peyton List, Ruby Jerins, Meghan Markle
Certificate: 12
Running time: 100mins
Release date: 26/07/10
Robert Pattinson can act. This is coming from a person who doesn’t necessarily detest the ‘Twilight’ franchise but simply thinks that the world wouldn’t be at a massive loss if it was without it, because to be honest it’d give the heartthrob at the centre of it more of a chance to stretch his skill in films like this.
A tale of love and loss (and no bloody
‘Remember Me’ is refreshing for a number of reasons. Firstly it gives the aforementioned lad from those ‘Twilight’ films a chance to prove he can do more than just look cold, grey and constipated opposite Kristen Stewart. With ‘Remember Me’ he’s a troubled youth on the road to ruin, stretching past the tree climbing, vampire pouting he’s now attached to, here we have him butting heads with Brosnan’s well delivered father figure, cracking jokes with his best mate and gelling perfectly with a love interest that unlike Bella the Bore actually reacts.
This is as much Ravin’s film as it is Pattinson and she shines just as brightly. Ally is as wild and fiery as her new beau carrying half the weight of the film that has a gut punch of an ending on its back, that only after viewing a second time echoes through the story and the characters involved, making it feel more than a cheap shock that some might see it as.
‘Remember Me’ is a film that is all about acceptance and moving on orchestrated by two strong leads at its centre. My only hope is that one of them manages to shake off the franchise they’re so cemented in once it’s all done and continue to surprise us like he has with this.

Robert Pattinson Excited for Breaking Dawn’s ‘Pillow-Biting’ Sex Scene
0 comments Posted by kotang at 12:35 PM“It does actually literally get more physical [in Breaking Dawn],” Stewart tells Access Hollywood, referring to the couple’s sex scenes. “It doesn’t get more action-packed … [But] they definitely get more physical. Well, they get married.”
The film’s screenwriter has said she plans to show Stewart’s character, Bella, giving birth, so how steamy will the pre-baby scenes get?
“Well, they’re man and wife now,” Stewart says leadingly. “They have a kid and stuff too, so, I guess to get there that happens.”
She adds with mock excitement, “We totally have sex – finally!”
For his part, Pattinson jokes that one moment of the Edward and Bella romantic scenes in the book stuck out to him.
“I’m looking forward to the pillow-biting scene,” he says with a laugh. “I thought that was so funny. Of all the random things too do, really? He bites the pillow.”
Plus, now that he’ll be showing more skin, “I can’t wait to get all my body makeup on,” Pattinson says, “to be especially pasty looking.”

He [Chris Cooper] portrays a detective in his new film Remember Me, co-starring teenage heart-throb Robert Pattinson.
“He’s a very sweet young man,” he said of the Twilight star. “He’s up against the kind of notoriety that’s monstrous at that age. I don’t know how he handles it.”

Rob talks about Remember Me and fame with Glamour UK - New/Old Interview
0 comments Posted by kotang at 9:03 AMQ: What made you say yes to Remember Me; you are in the position to say yes or no to a director to choose which movie you want to be in or which movie you don't want to be in?
A: Kind of. You get certain offers and stuff, but with this, it was before Twilight came out, and I read the script and I wanted to do another job before Twilight came out. I didn't end up doing one, but that was one of the things I read. So with this, usually every single young guy who is a lead is often such a stock character. But Tyler wasn't really coming from an obvious place and wasn't ending up in an obvious place either, so it gave you much more to work with, and it could be more of a character piece. There are certain things about generic films where you have to do certain things and perform in a certain way, and it doesn't really make sense. I think that's why this is kind of a little bit weird in that respect, it doesn't really fit what you'd expect from this kind of drama.
Q: With Remember Me, were there certain aspects of the character you could empathize with? He's a guy who likes to do his own thing…
A: Yeah, in a lot of ways, I saw right from the beginning that he was quite similar to me, and I kind of tried to tailor it to be even more similar, but then the more I tailored it, the more it became a fictional creation. But yeah, I've been saying there's a kind of moment where, I think it's the end of the adolescent period, where you think that you have to be an individual so much and you want to stamp your identity on everything. I mean, you get to your early 20s and you are much more accepting of being part of the world, and not wanting to drive everything away from you all the time, and I kind of had that when I was in my early 20s.
Q: Would you ever stand up for yourself to the point where you are going to fight with authority, like the character?
A: I know, that's what one of the main things I liked about it; there are certain things which are like fantasy scenes of mine. It was quite satisfying, even the way he fights. It was all in the script, it said he fights like a pitbull, and I was just like, 'Yeah, I want to fight like a pitbull!'
Q: Were you at all intimidated by Pierce Brosnan in real life?
A: I went to meet him for dinner just before we started shooting, and he's a really nice guy. He's kind of suave and he does look exactly the same all the time. He has great posture. He does this funny thing when we're out at a restaurant and there are people looking over at him, and it's a kind of posh French restaurant so there are a lot of older, banker type looking people and they obviously had no idea who I was, and they were obviously just looking at him and making a little joke or whatever, and he goes up to their table and introduces himself to everybody at that table, and you can see that they all really like him - I don't know what he said. He was introducing me as his son to people. (laughter)
Q: Did this role feel very different from the other roles that you have played?
A: Yeah, definitely, there's certain things about it; you can improvise quite a lot more, especially in comparison to the Twilight films. The whole point of the Twilight films is that there are so many hindrances as to what you can do, whereas with Tyler, it's kind of, it's the first time I played somebody who is just the kind of normal guy, without anything fancy, or without a period element, or without some kind of social inadequacy. He is literally just a normal guy, with no specific handicaps, and it was fun.
Q: How did you regard Tyler's relationship with Caroline; they kind of need each other, don't they?
A: Yeah, but it's like, at the same time, she's the kind of key or something. It's not like they're going to meet up and everything changes in their lives or whatever. It's not saying people's lives completely change, just having a couple of days of happiness, or a couple of minutes of happiness, can literally turn around your entire life, and you just have to be aware of it, you just have to make them sort of see things just a little bit more.
Q: When will you shoot the last Twilight movie?
A: I think I'm going to have to do "Breaking Dawn" at the end of this year, so I'm not sure when.
Q: What's your best disguise in order to be able to walk down Oxford Street?
A: Biting your nails works quite well! Actually, I was in HMV on Oxford Street on Christmas Eve buying Christmas presents, and not a single person noticed. And here were posters [Twilight and New Moon] everywhere! It's been years since I've done anything like that, and I think people just aren't looking in the same way in London.
Q: How do you deal with fame?
A: I just try to keep working. Even ten years ago, Leonardo DiCaprio always talked about being able to take a break away from everything, but I don't think you can do that anymore. I think you need to capitalize and steer your career at the same time, because I think that, especially with a thing like Twilight, where it is literally such a huge universe…
Q: Is it a burden to you, but it opens doors?
A: It opens doors and it closes others, like anything does. You can say, 'Oh if I was still unknown, then no one would judge me', but at the same time, nobody would give a shit either (laughter). It's a weird little balance. And most of the time, you are just completely guessing what you should do, so I guess I'm just doing scripts that I think are good.
Q: Did the Twilight fans make shooting Remember Me in New York quite difficult?
A: The fan situation, completely, honestly, they were lovely. They would completely respond to people saying - "Please go and wait over there or something", even when there were tons and tons of them, but it was like the paparazzi who were unbelievable. They were like jackals.
Q: You said that you never asked a girl on a date like Tyler does. Is that more difficult now you're famous?
A: Yeah, I would imagine. I'm much more self conscious now because you can't afford to like fail. You're kind of afraid of succeeding too so you just kind of, you know, anyway you look at it…
Q: In what ways has this success changed things for you?
A: It changed more in America. I always thought it was going to be like this. I came out last Christmas and it was kind of… it was all pretty low key again and I always thought it would've changed by now in London but it hasn't really. People just don't look for the same stuff, but in America, I guess it is different.
