New Robert and Kristen Interview with Philstar (The Philippine Star)

How do you feel now that the Twilight Saga has ended, sad or relieved?

 

Kristen (Heaving a big sigh): Well, for five entire years I had the same moments tapping me on the shoulder and telling me that, you know, I was not free to think of anything else but Bella Swan. Usually, we did that over a five-month period and so at the end of five years I’m…hmmmm, I wouldn’t say “relieved” because it’s slightly misleading because I don’t want people to think that I want it to be over. But I do believe that five years is a long enough time to live in that fantasy world, so it’s nice to walk away at this point.

Robert: I’m not sure if I should feel sad about it but it definitely feels strange. Once you play the character a few times, it really does become like second skin to you and when it’s done, you do miss it. I mean, not yet but I know that one day, in a few years time, I will see one of these movies on TV and I guess I will feel strange.

You were 17 when you shot for the first Twilight movie in 2008. How has the Saga changed you?

 

Kristen: It’s hard to credit one experience with a particular change in you. I started when I was 17 and I am 22 now, and it’s impossible to actually mark the changes in my life during the past five years.

Robert: I was 21 when I did the first Twilight movie and I am 26 now. Well, I’m kind of braver now; I feel that I can go a little farther. It excites me what I’m gonna do next.

What are your fondest memories about the Saga and what’s the best lesson that you learned from it?

 

Kristen: I guess I became a little bit more comfortable living. When you’re younger, you look to the future and you feel like, “God, am I gonna feel always a little bit unsure? Am I always going not knowing exactly what the outcome of this journey is?” I don’t think Twilight gave that feeling to me but I’m sure that it just put things on a little bit escalated scale.

Robert: Oh yes, I remember my audition. I think I sent a tape from England and then I was asked to come to L.A. I felt that I was so weird in the audition and I was sure that I wouldn’t get the part. I called up my parents and told them that I didn’t want to act anymore.

How was the audition with Kristen?

Robert: No, I didn’t know. I was barely prepared. I took half of Valium before doing it. Kristen and I were told to do four scenes, one of them the first key scenes when our characters first met each other and when they kissed. I was pretty nervous all throughout so I couldn’t believe it when I was told four days later that the audition went well. I said, “Thanks to the Valium!”

Isn’t it weird and surreal that so many people love you or they hate you even if they haven’t met you?

 

Kristen: I think you should be a little more concerned about how you feel about yourself rather than how people feel about you. Yeah, it’s weird, super-weird! Let’s be honest, it’s fun to disregard people who don’t like you and it’s even more fun to find people who are your fans with whom you have a lot in common; there’s something that attracts them to you, and vice-versa.

You did a lot of running in the Saga and you look pretty athletic and sporty. How do you maintain your kind of body?

 

Kristen (Breaking into smile): I don’t work out regularly. (And laughs!) Hmmm, I love stunt work that’s why I’m constantly hurting myself because I’m constantly throwing myself at things. Sometimes, I would tease myself, “Kristen, you’re not actually a vampire, you know!” You see some actresses…and I’m not thinking anyone in particular…you know, “You spend half of your life working on your body…!” No, I’m not like that kind of actress. I don’t do that.

What are your favorite scenes in the Saga?

 

Kristen: I have a lot of favorite scenes but to pick one…no! If you ask me what moments in the Saga surprised me, my answer would be very obvious; it’s the milestones, such as in the first movie (Twilight) it’s the first kiss and the last kiss, there’s the wedding scene and the giving-birth scene. There are just so many for me to name just one.

Robert: It’s definitely the last scene in the first movie where Bella and Edward are dancing. I always remember that scene.

What about the wedding scene? What was on your mind when you were doing that scene?

 

Robert: Oh that scene. I was kind of thinking how little involvement the groom has because everyone is looking at the bride and the groom is just kind of standing at the other end. It was fun, though. It was very beautiful!

Any role that you look forward to doing which is different from the Twilight genre?

Kristen: I haven’t found the next project yet. (She has just finished shooting On The Road. — RFL) I can’t be specific about what I want to do until it’s in front of me. Every one project doesn’t relate to the last or the one following it. Each project is different from the others. My expectation of myself is that I feel challenged when I’m pushed by the people that I’m working with, and if I could find those people I would be very happy.

Is there any chance for you and Kristen to do another movie together, not part of the Twilight Saga?

 

Robert: Oh yeah, I’d love to. It’s pretty likely that we would work together again.

Your co-stars said that you’re funny on the set, contrary to what people think that you’re quiet and serious. How would you like to do comedy for a change?

 

Robert (Blushing): My instincts for comedy movies are really weird, hahahaha! What roles do I want to do next? I don’t know. Maybe a horror movie. I’d like to do one that would really scare people.

David Cronenberg talks about Robert Pattinson with Film4

Do you think Eric Packer is the most stylish character you've ever created?
Actually, I think Dr Jung in A Dangerous Method was pretty darn stylish. There is a contemporary quality to Eric that is certainly timely and cutting-edge in that sense. On the other hand, he's a guy who, like a lot of the financiers that we read about now, the "London Whale" being one of them, really want to be anonymous. They don't want to cut a great figure in the public eye. Part of their power as investors is anonymity and so although Eric Packer does have a bodyguard in this movie, the bodyguard is there to protect his life, not keep the fans away.

What's been your worst date?
I never really dated. The thing is I've been married for about 37 years and it's kind of a strange thing because I've never done this tradition of dating and pick-up lines. Somebody in Berlin said, "What's the worst pickup line you've ever heard?" I said, "I've never given one, at least not consciously". Rob said his answer for that is "I would look good in your clothes". I thought that was a pretty good one.

ETA: David talks more about his decision to cast Rob with Film4

Catherine Bray: Hello David. I should start by saying I really loved the film, having seen it twice now, at the premiere in Cannes and on coming back to London - it’s a really extraordinary piece of work.
David Cronenberg: We should stop the interview right now, we can’t do better than that.


Catherine Bray: [laughs] Maybe we can start off by talking about Eric Packer, who I think is such an extraordinary character, for which your casting of Robert Pattinson was such a smart move.
David Cronenberg: Well, as a director you have a lot of balls to juggle, just with casting the main character and something that’s obvious, I suppose, is that you have to have an actor whose fame will support your budget. It’s kind of mundane and it’s not really part of the creative process, but it is part of the pragmatic process of getting a film made, so you need somebody who financiers and financial people and investors can get excited about and obviously Rob has that.

But beyond that, when the smoke clears you’re left with you and the actor on the set, and whether he is good or he's not good - is he the right guy or not? - and that’s something that as a director you can’t lose sight of. And having looked at a lot of the things that Rob did, particularly the Spanish movie called Little Ashes in which he played the young Salvador Dali, I thought, 'this is a really interesting and serious actor who’s not afraid to play some very difficult roles', and so it proved to be. Even Twilight and so on let me know that he could do the accent that we needed for the movie, that he had the charisma that you need if you’re doing a movie in which the lead character’s in absolutely every scene. There’s no scene that he’s not in, so you need someone who’s incredible watchable, and we all know Rob is that.

Catherine Bray: And there’s a really exciting tension between his kind of persona in the film and his public persona, the idea of someone being at their peak deciding to go another way.
David Cronenberg: Yes, and the character himself is a kind of enigma. It's something that is becoming more and more familiar - someone who is incredibly capable on one level, in this case financial wizardry, and completely inept on the level of human interaction. It seems to go together a lot these days, and we’re just discovering more and more people who’re like that.

New Robert Pattinson interview with Metro UK

He’s Britain’s second-richest under-30 actor behind Daniel Radcliffe, worth a fortune of more than £30millio. He’s one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in The World. He’s the Sexiest Man In The World. But he’s made a huge mistake.

‘Sorry, I just had a McDonald’s!’ laughs Robert Pattinson. ‘My stomach’s going, “Raaargh!” I always think McDonald’s is a good idea. It’s never been a good idea.’ Now would be a great time to forget what you think you know about Pattinson. Forget the fame, the money, the daft awards, the vampire movies, the screaming tweens, the are-they-aren’t-they? thing with Kristen Stewart.

Not only is film-maker David Cronenberg’s arty, sexy, talky new psychothriller Cosmopolis possibly the weirdest movie of the year, it gives us a new kind of Robert Pattinson. He plays a bored multi-billionaire travelling across Manhattan in a white stretch limo to get a haircut. Only he gets a little more than that. En route, he’ll have been screwed by Oscar-winning French actress Juliet Binoche and a gun-toting prostitute, mobbed by protestors and hit in the face with a cream pie, stalked, shot and divorced. No hair-gelled bloodsuckers. No werewolves in cut-off jeans.

‘This is one of the first movies that I’m in where I can watch it and not just want to kill myself,’ says the actor, who was stunned when Canadian meastro Cronenberg called him for the role. ‘I was really, really nervous until we started doing it. And I didn’t know there were going to be sex scenes. It said, “They just had sex” in the script. And both days David was like, “I think they should be having sex during the scene.” Okay...! David said, “Don’t worry. Let’s just start and see what happens.’

What happened was the darkest, smartest performance of Pattinson’s career, which has trampolined in a series of truly bizarre ups and downs.
His big-screen debut as Reese Witherspoon’s son in period drama Vanity Fair was left on the cutting-room floor. He scored a role in a biggest teen franchise in the world (Harry Potter). He got fired from a play in London and spent a year and a half as a couch-surfing out-of-work actor in Los Angeles. He scored a role in the biggest teen franchise in the world (Twilight).

Five years ago, he was nobody. Now he’s so famous he may never go for a beer in public again. He turned 26 last month and he can feel it, the change, something lost, something gained. ‘I’m quite sensitive to people,’ he says. ‘You pick up on moods quicker, I think. I’m also really good at sensing if someone is around. It’s weird, it’s like a sixth sense. I always know if someone’s taking a picture as well.’

Those spidey-senses have been tingling off the hook. Inevitably, fame has been a drain for Pattinson. ‘You see people just taking a picture casually at a different table,’ he laughs, with a shrug. ‘I’ve got into the habit now of going up to people with my phone with the flash on and just start taking pictures two inches away from their face.’

It’s not Rob they want, of course. It’s Edward Cullen. It’s ‘R-Pattz’. He was literally replaced when Madam Tussauds gave him a waxwork. A really, really terrible waxwork. ‘It looks like Hugh Jackman,’ he exclaims. ‘I think it IS Hugh Jackman – they’ve just smushed it in a bit.’ Or maybe it’s the inner Pattinson, the one who feels melted by the Twi-light. ‘If you get famous, you can really buy into it, then you go nuts. But I never really felt comfortable going, “Yes, I’m famous!” I don’t know why.’

His bold, charismatic remoulding in Cosmopolis, then, couldn’t have come at a better time. On November 16, the final Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn Part II, will be released – and so will Pattinson, he hopes, from the hysteria of Stephenie Meyer’s teen saga.

Can he give us a reason to watch it? ‘It’s really funny, the last one,’ he chuckles. ‘I mean, funny and completely insane. There’s Jacob is falling in love with my daughter, who grows into an 11-year-old in three months! There were so many scenes where it felt so bizarre.’

Five years, four movies, a bit of hair gel and a lot of crying and screaming later, Pattinson is ready to bust out the Twilight zone. Next up he has a crime thriller by hotshot director of Oz gangster drama Animal Kingdom (‘Guy Pearce kidnaps me and I’ve been shot. It’s like, crazily violent’) and psychological drama Mission: Black List, playing the US military interrogator who found Saddam Hussein (‘Some of the stuff in it is just unbelievably insane’).

There’s just one last problem he needs to fix: how to get people to stop calling him R-Pattz... ‘Yeah, I don’t know how to get rid of that,’ he sighs. ‘It is the most annoying thing. I don’t know who invented it. This thing with nicknames, everybody loves nicknames, it’s so irritating. But it’s too catchy...’

Cosmopolis is out today.

New Robert Pattinson interview with GQ UK!

Within moments of meeting Robert Pattinson, GQ.com learns a valuable lesson: you simply can't compete with Twilight fans. Having previously expressed his admiration for Martin Amis in an interview, it was decided we should present everyone's favourite server-crashing undead heartthrob with a copy of the new Amis novel Lionel Asbo. Sadly one literary-minded Edward Cullen devotee has trumped our gift. "I got given a first-edition signed copy of Money by a Twilight fan in Germany yesterday," reveals Pattinson. "She was trying to tell me that she found it in Massachusetts while we were surrounded by all these people screaming." Pattinson stars in David Cronenberg's striking and strange new film Cosmopolis, out this week, which sees him as an otherworldly billionaire sating his carnal, financial and intellectual desires riding through town in the back of a limousine in search of a haircut. After some preliminaries (when presented with the latest edition of GQ he cries out "Andrew's wearing my suit!"), he talks about his hip-hop moment of glory, the worst haircut he's ever had and what he's learned from working with Frida Giannini at Gucci…

Your character has two lifts in his huge apartment, one of which is soundtracked by hip-hop. Which rapper would you have in your lift?
Robert Pattinson: Definitely Ol' Dirty Bastard. The biopic looks amazing! That guy Michael K Williams as well - I was obsessed with The Wire for ages. The guy who is directing - Joaquín Baca-Asay, who is James Gray's director of photography - is amazing. All his movies look incredible.

How did you feel when Tinie Tempah shouted you out on Chase & Status' "Hitz"?
What? [delighted, bewildered] I haven't heard it. I keep hearing everyone talking about him but for some reason I never really got into British rap. I don't know why.

The line is "Like Rob Pattinson I make a lot of n****s jealous"
Wow. That's really cool, actually. That's amazing. I didn't realise I had that relevance [laughs]. I wonder what made him single me out?

We asked our Twitter followers to pose questions for you. One account "Robearhottinson" asked 48 alone...
Not your typical GQ reader, I'd guess…
But she did ask about your worst haircut…
I did this movie about Salvador Dali a few years ago and had hair extensions and a little bob. That was incredibly bizarre. The extensions were temporary as well. I was trying to swim to somehow get in shape two days before we started shooting in this apartment complex in Barcelona. There were all these children everywhere… and I was this weird, pasty, hungover person with a girl's black bob, swimming in the pool with huge clumps of hair falling out. I had my whole body totally waxed as well because Dali didn't haven't any body hair. It was the most terrifying thing - this is terrible, but I saw the potential cannibal guy [Luka Magnotta] in the Sun today and I looked a bit like him.

Are sex scenes getting easier?
It's always a big thing. Juliette Binoche is one of my favourite actresses and within five minutes of meeting her on this we were pretending to have sex. Which wasn't in the script. With both sex scenes we were supposed to have finished sex before we did the scene. Both times David was just like, "Yeah, just have sex." That was a little awkward. I thought that Patricia McKenzie, who I did the other sex scene with, despised me up until that day on the set. We hadn't said a single word to each other apart from when I asked, "Where are you from?" and she literally looked me up and down. I was like, "I'm not trying to do anything - I don't have any idea!" Then on day of the sex scene she was like, "Hey how's it going?" I don't know what kind of preparation that was for this scene… but it definitely did something.

What TV do you never miss?
In America there is a channel called TruTV which is just reruns of Cops and World's Dumbest Criminals. I could watch that the entire day. Someone told me - I don't know if it's true - that David Simon watched tonnes of Cops to get the dialogue for The Wire. I was like, "I knew it…"

Frida taught me one thing - you should definitely have good contacts at Gucci.
What has working with Frida and her team at Gucci taught you about tailoring?
That's funny, I've never had her singled out before - it's like it's a secret! She taught me one thing - you should definitely have good contacts at Gucci. They're absolutely amazing. The amount of times I've been stuck in some random city and have called her up and had things brought in at absolutely the last minute - it's crazy. But also all this stuff is custom-made. You can do quite crazy things [with colour] if you have incredibly classic, really well-made suits. I guess I've been quite boring for a while. I used to be more interesting with them. Now I always just request things two days before: "Can you send 25 suits?" I don't even know what I want to wear!

What's the strangest gift you've got from a fan?
It's funny: there are certain things that get picked up on really quickly. I quit smoking the other day and didn't even really realise that I'd said anything about it. I've been chewing these f***ing toothpicks all the time. Someone noticed in Cannes and literally the next day in Lisbon, then in Paris and in Berlin there were about 20 people on the red carpet giving me huge amounts of toothpicks. Thousands of them. I don't even remember saying it in an interview but I must have said it somewhere. That was kind of strange.

You are one of four individuals who consistently dominate internet discussion. Out of your rivals - Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga - who are you most fond of?
I really like Nicki Minaj. I think she's great. My favourite song? She's amazing in "Monster" with Kanye West. It's annoying that I'm part of this internet thing though - they all have Twitters and an online presence. How did I get part of this group? I didn't do anything. I'm trying to avoid it!

Cosmopolis is out 15 June.

Robert pattinson talks 'Cosmopolis' and sex scenes in an Interview with USA Today

Sure there have been car movies in the past. But there has never been a movie that has taken place almost entirely inside of a car. Until now.

Enter Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg's surreal look at the world of finance -- set in the back of a stretch white limousine winding it's way through the crowded streets of New York City.

Robert Pattinson, who spends nearly every scene of the movie in the plush back seat, says even he was surprised by how much took place in the back in the limited environment.

"When I saw the script, about 70% of it was in the limo," Pattinson tells USA TODAY. "But as we were shooting, (Cronenberg) kept adding even more scenes. I started feeling like it was (the German U-boat classic) Das Boat, like we were stuck in this weird submarine movie."

Even Pattinson's communication with Cronenberg was through the limousine's intercom from inside this sealed world. Meanwhile, the back of the limo serves as the stage for some crazy stuff, street riots and the like. In one scene Pattinson's banker character actually seduces the lovely French actress Juliet Binoche. Naturally the sex scene takes place in the tight back seat, which led to some comical moments for Pattinson.

"There's not enough space to really do it," he says. "So she's banging her head on the ceiling. It ended up being kind of funny. But its supposed to be kind of erotic."

But the most bizarre scene, and no doubt another movie first, is another seduction moment.

"There's a scene where I am having to seduce (a woman) while being completely naked having a prostate exam in the back of the limousine," laughs Pattinson. "They don't really see it that very often in movies."

Robert Pattinson's Interview with Shortlist Magazine

Robert Pattinson is sick of being pretty.

  Shortlist.com Robert Pattinson has swept away his teen idol persona in one fell swoop, thanks to Cosmopolis. ShortList’s Jonathan Crocker talks off-piste career choices with a reluctant superstar

Five minutes after meeting her, Robert Pattinson found himself having sex with French actress Juliette Binoche in the back of a limo. “She literally turned up and was like, ‘Let’s do it,’” he grins.

“It was just hilarious. There wasn’t enough room in the limo so she was banging her head on the ceiling.” So this is what’s it’s like to be Robert Pattinson. “It’s just boring,” he counters, almost apologetically.

What happens when you’re mega-rich, mega-handsome and mega-bored? You flip out. You get in a limousine and go on a ride that could change your life forever. Bouncy, backseat sex with an Oscar-winning actress. Boozy, late-night clubbing. Rabid crowds trying to get their hands on you. You beat up a guy in the street. You kill a man...

 Hold on a minute. This isn’t Robert Pattinson’s real life. Well, it isn’t and it is. His startling role in David Cronenberg’s new arthouse psychothriller Cosmopolis – dark, sexy, violent, cerebral and possibly the weirdest film of the year – is exactly the one he’s been waiting for. A film impossible to understand, yet makes perfect sense.

In the most daring performance of his career, Pattinson plays a 28-year-old multibillionaire travelling across Manhattan in a stretch limo to get a haircut. By the end of the film, he’ll have destroyed everything he possesses to create an exciting, dangerous future.

“I want more,” Pattinson tells a bare-breasted hooker who is aiming a high-voltage Taser at his naked chest. “Show me something I haven’t seen before.” Well, here it is: Pattinson escaping from the Twilight zone.

Since transforming from an out-of-work London actor to hair-gelled bloodsucker Edward Cullen, Pattinson has been engulfed by a tsunami of fan frenzy not seen since Leonardo DiCaprio failed to shove Kate Winslet off that floating door in Titanic. He sees his own face everywhere: on posters, on merchandise and magazine covers. Fans send him vials of their own blood and scream terrifying things such as, “Rob! I just want to touch your hair!”

He stays in hotels and needs 25 bodyguards to protect him at premieres.

“People used to go absolutely insane,” he says. “They couldn’t hold themselves together at all.” Doesn’t he wish it would all just go away? No, actually. “I’m clinging on to that for dear life,” he laughs. “That’s my career!” That’s the problem and Pattinson knows it.

MOVING ON

In Twilight, he plays a 107-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 17-year-old boy. In real life, Pattinson’s curse is worse: he’s a 26-year-old actor trapped in the body of a 107-year-old vampire. “I mean, playing the same part for a while... You just run out of ideas. You feel kind of useless, you don’t know what to do any more. I’m not trying to get away from it. You’re screwing yourself, you’re saying you think your work is sh*t if you try to get away from it. And I never thought it was. I kind of got to the end of my inspiration. You get to the point where you’re like, ‘I don’t want to do a film for a teen audience any more.’”

Exactly what Cosmopolis is, though, Pattinson’s still not sure. “Normally, you’d think that if you read a script and you don’t understand it, you probably shouldn’t be doing it,” he says. “But if it’s a Cronenberg movie, you have to do it. It was a strange situation.

I asked David what it was about and he said, ‘I don’t know what it’s about either.’”

In the most superficial light, Cosmopolis is a film about sex, death, money and power. It’s a film about a man ripping his world apart to start afresh – and that’s Pattinson’s game plan, right there. “I think the script was so bizarre, we thought it was quite funny it was even getting made. Literally. It’s totally ridiculous. Ninety per cent of it is in a limo and it’s about getting a haircut and being worried about your asymmetrical prostate. It feels like an absolute ‘F*ck you’ to any kind of hope of commercialism.” Twi-hards, then, are in for a massive shock. “I’m curious who, if anyone, sees it,” says Pattinson. “It’s such a weird movie.” He laughs. “I guess, because I’m in it.”

As far back as he can remember, Pattinson has been at the mercy of girls. When he was little, his two older sisters would dress him up as a doll and call him Claudia. His mother, a model-agency booker, helped him get modelling work at the age of 12 and – via some amateur theatre and some forgettable TV – he got his first big break playing Reese Witherspoon’s son in period drama Vanity Fair.

He was promptly left on the cutting-room floor by director Mira Nair. But it looked like he’d hit the motherload when he grabbed the biggest role of his career as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. Then everything went wrong. He got fired from a play in London three days before opening night. He flew to LA – where he played music, got drunk and went to see films he wasn’t starring in. His agent let him sleep on her couch even though he hadn’t worked in a year and a half. “I thought the whole thing was over,” he admits. “I just didn’t know what I was doing.”

While he was dossing, director Catherine Hardwicke had been busy interviewing 5,000 young men – including Orlando Bloom, Hayden Christensen and Henry Cavill – for the lead role in her adaptation of a teen romance novel written by a Mormon housewife. Pattinson had never heard of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga, but he slung a quarter of a Valium and spent four hours in Hardwicke’s bedroom with Kristen Stewart. Four years, four movies and a lot of screaming later, he’s Britain’s second-richest actor (behind Daniel Radcliffe), worth more than £30m and one of the ‘100 Most Influential People In The World’ according to Time magazine.

But he can’t remember the last time he went for a beer like a normal guy. “It’s extremely rare,” he sighs. “I don’t know why. Something about my face. People just recognise it really quickly. Kristen can go out and people don’t notice. She can hide in crowds. For some reason, I can’t really do it.” He thinks for a second and laughs. “I probably give myself away by walking around with a hoody and a hat and sunglasses, bent over and hiding my face. I probably look like a lunatic.”

Can he remember the last time someone didn’t recognise him? He thinks. For a long time. Then remembers sitting next to a French footballer on a talk show [Grand Journal] in 2009. “There were teenage girls screaming outside and I’ve got Eric Cantona just staring at me going, ‘Who are you?’” I was star struck. Then his nieces asked for some pictures...”

For some time now, Pattinson has been quietly attempting to dodge the Twilight spotlight and disappear in darker roles. Depression-era romance Water For Elephants saw him take a beating from Inglourious Basterds villain Christoph Waltz. Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas were all seduced-and-destroyed by his 19th-century sexual predator in Bel Ami. “But every single time, a Twilight comes out and inevitably eclipses whatever I’ve done in the meantime,” sighs Pattinson.

But with the vampire saga due to end this year and Cronenberg hailing Pattinson a “profound” talent, Cosmopolis could mark the end of Pattinson’s frustrations and the start of a (sorry) breaking dawn. Next up, he’ll star in psychological drama Mission: Black List, based on the novel by military interrogator Eric Maddox about the capture of Saddam Hussein, before joining Guy Pearce in The Rover, a new crime thriller by the writer/director of brutal Oz gangster epic Animal Kingdom. Most of his fans won’t be old enough to buy a ticket.

The next 12 months will push Pattinson into the talented Hollywood Brit-pack that includes Andrew ‘Spider-Man’ Garfield, Henry ‘Superman’ Cavill and Tom ‘Loki’ Hiddleston. Sure, he hasn’t been offered a superhero yet. But fast-forward 10 years and could we be looking at Bond? “Yeah, definitely,” he says. “But more like 20 years. There’d be nothing worse than, like, ‘Let’s get a fresh-faced Bond!’ That would be the worst idea in the world. After Daniel Craig, you have to have some baggage. It would be ridiculous to reinvent it as some young posh kid. Or, if it was, I’d have to be tortured in the first few scenes. I’d have to do the first film with one arm or something.”

THE TURNING POINT

Anything could happen in 10 years. A decade ago, Pattinson was a teenage waiter, scoring tips for fun ( “I’d see a group of five drunk divorcees and I’d always end up going home with a load of money”). It was Pattinson’s 26th birthday a few weeks ago (“I got £25. My friends all gave me £5. It was a very thoughtful present”) and he knows it’s just Twilight and fame that’s been holding him back.

“I think 26 is the turning point,” he says. “I’ve got to make up for 10 years of living like a degenerate. I’ve suddenly become conscious of being unhealthy. You’ve spent every bit of free time since [the age of ] 15 in a pub. And suddenly you’re like, ‘Oh God, I don’t want to be this grey ghost sitting there with a pot belly. I’ve got to get it together.’”

Getting it together means a new life mantra. “Don’t be a pussy,” he states. “Basically, that’s the best thing you can ever think. I’ve had so many occasions in my life where I’ve acted like a pussy and regretted it. Have you seen that Tyson documentary? That bit where he says he’d defeated the guy before he’s walked into the ring, it’s the same thing. With acting, I was always so scared. But you get to the point where you realise it doesn’t matter.”

Take it from a vampire. Scary is OK. Scary is great. “Oh man, I was terrified on Cosmopolis,” he laughs, as we near the end of our conversation. “There was a sex scene and I was cringing. The girl was really comfortable with her clothes off – and I’m not. She took all her clothes off and I was just sitting there going, ‘Um, I haven’t got my ‘ball-sack’ on...’ F*cking amazing.”

Cosmopolis is at selected cinemas from 15 June.

New Picture of Robert Pattinson + Interview from Portugal

How would you define Eric Packer (main character in 'Cosmpopolis'): it he just a sort of a weirdo or is he a visionary?
He's just a weirdo(laughs). I think he is a person who is desperately looking for something but doesn't know what that is. Basically, no one is a visionary, the world repeats itself.

But wasn't Don DeLillo's a visionary when he write the book? Because the story was written 12 years ago, but is current and reflects the global economy today...
Yes, that's crazy. But at the same time, the collapse of financial markets... it seemed obvious that would happen.

Do you follow news about the economy, the reality of Europe?
In general but not specifically. It's weird. I know they're all terrified of what's happening.

The dialogues of 'Cosmopolis' explores this theme but in a poetic, theatrical way. Do you believe that there are people that speak like that?
It is a little too theatrical. But Eric is a guy who doesn't share his world. In his universe, everybody speaks his language, behaves like he wants. He is totally egocentric, maniac, wants to be God.

And how different is Robert from Eric?
(Laughs) He's really confident and thinks no one can change him. While I... I change in every new talk, with every new person. I want to please those who talk to me.

But are you a confident person...
Kind of. I'm more confident when everyone hates me.

But they all love you, especially because of the success of 'Twilight'. Did you accept this movie because you thought it would change your career and turn you into a "serious" actor or was it because you would film with someone like David Cronenberg?
I try to do all my jobs as if I'm a serious actor (laughs). And some people forget that I ever did in the past... But David's (Cronenberg) movies are all so unique and personal that I knew it was important to make this movie.

At the Cannes Film Festival, critics were divided: hated and loved the movie. Do you really care about reviews?
I am always surprised. I thought no one would notice the film (laughs). But I like to see such passionate reactions, in any sense whatsoever. And everyone cares about the critics. I care about what everyone says. I care about what girls (fans) outside will tell and maybe they won't even like it

Are you going to work with Cronenberg again?
Yes, in a movie about the movie industry. Really fun and bizarre. I still don't know when we're going to film because I have other projects...

Do you think 'Cosmopolis' could be an Oscar movie?
I don't know. I keep my expectations low.

But winning an Oscar is the biggest dream for an actor...
Completely. Actors are moved by the awards, it is as if they were kicked on the head.

New Robert Pattinson Interview with Shortlist

EXCLUSIVE: Robert Pattinson is tired of Twilight

R-Patz spills the beans

Known predominantly for his work in the Twilight saga, 26-year-old Robert Pattinson is keen to put the blood-sucking behind him and embark upon a more mature career.

We spoke to the man himself and he revealed that as the fifth and final film is about to be released, he's happy to see the back of his 107-year-old character.
“Playing the same part for a while, you just run out of ideas," he said. "You feel kind of useless, you don’t know what to do anymore."
"I’m not trying to get away from it." he added "You’re screwing yourself, you’re saying you think your work is sh*t if you try and get away from it. And I never thought it was. But I kind of got to the end of my inspiration. You get to the point where you’re like, ‘I don’t want to do a film for a teen audience any more'."

You can read the full interview in next week's ShortList out on Wednesday.

New Interview with Kristen Stewart in Top Teen Mexican magazine

This girl spoke with Top Teen on her new movie, fame and even confessed why cranky.


This weekend we jump to one of the most luxurious hotels in Mexico City to be present at the press conference of Protas Snow White and the Hunter, which will premiere June 1 and you can not miss it ! During the press conference, we saw a Kristen Stewart a bit serious and sometimes on the defensive against the over 50 national and international media that questioned.

But everything changed one day later, when we had the opportunity to have it before us. Wearing a white T-shirt, baggy pants and sneakers, showed a much more quiet, funny and sincere, so much that he revealed what really freaks of fame. Here are the details! The powerful White ...

 What did it mean for you to play a princess different than we're used to seeing in Snow White and the Huntsman?
 "In our mind we have marked the true idea of a princess, just think not have to do anything or even think, and they do this to others just because they are nice. In this story, Snow White is a much more capable of doing things, and although it has to be involved in war, no longer a princess. "  
Art thou so confident and brave as Snow White? What should make the Top Teen readers to be?
  "I try to be, really. Although the answer to this question varies a little with reality because I believe what you do, you will always be true to yourself and should never be ashamed of us. We must be able to bear all d ies and move on, instead of flipping back and compare with others. I recommend never compare with others, be yourselves, it is very easy to do although not enough. "
 Do you think this version of Snow White claims the position of women in fairy tales? 
"Yes, definitely, I think in the original story of Snow White showed a perfect woman. And in this movie is a real matriarch worst does more than just cleaning the house and sing with the birds. Without losing its soft and delicate hand, faced their fears much strength. "
 What do you think are the qualities that should be a guy to be a real prince?
 "It has to be cute, funny and very strong, ha, ha, ha . No seriously anymore, I think just being honest and trustworthy. "  
Within the film is very marked the concept of beauty, what is your concept of beauty? 
"I think it's more than just shine before others, we should not have the perfect face to be beautiful. Some are ugly, some beautiful energy is concerned, I believe that beauty comes from a place close to the heart. You can not fake what you are not in the end what you are really going to notice. " Kristen's world ...  
What would your ideal and favorite in the world?
  "I am from Los Angeles and I think it is a wonderful place because we have forests, beaches and suburbs. Besides incredible sunsets, so my special place would probably be my home. "  
We know you like to read a lot, what other book you have read you'd like to play in a movie?
"Lie Down in Darkness, William Styron, I seems an incredible story, maybe some day. " Mexico cute and yummy ...
 How has your life changed since the last time you were in Mexico? What did you think of this trip?
 "The first time I was here I came with Taylor Lautner to promote 'Eclipse' and yes it was something strange at first because I could hardly get close to people until you could see on my face. But this trip was much more relaxed, I have enjoyed it more and I do not feel so far from home. I love Mexican food and could even cooking. The only bad thing is that I love to go out and walk the streets without a title above, but I can not. "
 Your mom Jules Stewart, directs the movie K-11, where it appears Kate del Castillo, have you lived with her?
"Yes She is fun, open and cool, my mom is very lucky to work with an actress like her. Also looks great mounted on your bike. " fame bittersweet thing ...
 What really makes you happy in your career and fame? And why not both?
  "The reason I really love my job because I can share feelings with people, whether the director, writer, actors and very passionate fans who are now crying out for me, that is to share a feeling of love for something, to something as big as Twilight, for example. But what I like is that people feel angry or resentful because you do not want to sell them and if they do not seem as F $% / & $ & /. I also resent the actresses who believe that outside of work also deserve attention and that is not real. " She ended the interview with a "thanks for coming" and a big smile. That's how honest is Kris.

Peter Facinelli Doesn't Like To Talk About Playing A Grandfather In 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2'

If you only know Peter Facinelli as flaxen-haired Cullen patriarch Carlisle, prepare to see a whole new (criminal!) side of the actor when his screenwriting debut, "Loosies," opens today. Peter stars in the independent film as Bobby, a pick-pocket who accidentally impregnates a girl during their one-night stand. (What would Esme say?!)

We sat down with Peter to get all the dish on his romance caper but, of course, talk inevitably turned to "The Twilight Saga," whose final installment hits theaters November 16. Though he has yet to see any footage from the highly anticipated release, Peter was more than happy to share a bit about the scope of the grandiose production.

"It's cool because 'Part 1' felt like a throw back to 'Twilight' because all of a sudden it got compressed and more intimate," he explained. "And it was about the family, like 'Twilight' was. 'New Moon' became about the vampires and more about the werewolves, and then 'Eclipse' became vampires and werewolves, so it was this huge ensemble. So 'Part 1' went back to that original core again, which was kind of nice. Now, the second part gets big with a tremendous cast."
Of course, one of those newbies filling out the lineup is young actress Mackenzie Foy, who portrays Bella and Edward's daughter Renesmee. And by extension, Carlisle's granddaughter. But just don't ask Peter how he feels playing a grandfather at the age of 38.
"I don't like to talk about that much," he said with a hearty laugh.
Will you be seeing Peter's new film "Loosies"? Are you counting down the days until "Breaking Dawn - Part 2"? Sound off in the comments and on Twitter!

Anna Kendrick Interviewed By Gamezone "Scott Pilgrim" (San Fransisco) And New Still From Boston

NEW STILL FROM BOSTON TOUR




GAMEZONE INTERVIEW




Michael Cera and Anna Kendrick speak on Abigail Breslin, Bill Murray and Seinfeld

We take on Michael Cera and Anna Kendrick from their upcoming film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Giving life to the already lively characters of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series surely has its challenges. Yet when you are working under the direction of the restless and often humorously tangential Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), your acting job becomes all the more easier. That is not to say that one should get complacent and rely on the man’s talent for slick hyper-editing and pop art stylized special effects.

Luckily for the die-hard fans of the graphic novel, Wright put together a stellar cast of actors that includes future Captain America Chris Evans, indie film veteran Jason Schwartzman, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who plays Ramona Flowers in the film. Add to that the surprisingly goofy Academy Award-nominee Anna Kendrick (Up In The Air) who plays Scott’s older sister, Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), one of Ramona’s exes, and of course nerdy heart-throb Michael Cera as the film’s title character. This latter threesome joined Edgar for the San Francisco stop of their national press tour, holding interviews at The Connecticut Yankee, a modest live music venue and bar that keeps within Scott Pilgrim’s garage rock aesthetic.

Along with myself, this roundtable interview included Joshua Blackburn of TheFilmStage.net, Bryan Gerhart from DailyCal.Org, and ThePopBuzz’s Claudia Pierce.

Claudia Pierece: You had some really intense fight scenes. How much of that did you do yourself and how much did you train for it?

Michael Cera: A lot of it was me except for the really crazy stuff I could never do. But anytime it’s like blocking and punching it’s normally me and the other actors too. We trained for a few months, we ran every morning, about two months before we started shooting. It’s just conditioning, sit-ups and all sorts of other stuff. And it was a real bonding experience because all of us were out of shape and embarrassed. Once you put yourself on the line like that for each other, all pretenses go away and you really connect with people. Yeah, it was a really nice thing for us to be able to do together.

Joshua Blackburn: How were you approached with the role and why did you decide to take it?

M.C.: I met with Edgar in Toronto and he was there for Hot Fuzz. He told me he wanted to put me in this movie, which was really exciting, but I was too young at the time. I think I was 18 and he told me he wasn’t going to make it for a few years, so hopefully it would work out. That he wanted to do it with me was amazing. That was the first time we had met and I was a big fan of his, and I really wanted to do anything with him. It was really exciting.

Anna Kendrick: I met Edgar the morning before I flew up to Oregon to shoot the first Twilight film and it was sort of a general meeting. When I came back he sent me the comics and asked me to come in and read for Stacey and I guess I was the only girl they thought of for Stacey. And then he gave me the job, which was awesome.

Miguel Concepcion: What was it like working with Edgar’s hyper-editing style, where a single shot can last as little as one second? Must’ve been a stark contrast to anything you’ve done in theater.

M.C.: Yeah, I’d never done any kind of work like this really. It was a totally unique in process. And it was fun, trying something like this for the first time. It was exciting to watch his process because I was really familiar with his work and really love all of it. It was cool to see how he want about it.

A.K.: I would say that for the majority of the actors on the film, it was the least amount of improv we’ve ever done. This was especially the case in our phone call scenes. I had to fit my lines in between the pauses that Michael left, because he shot his end of the phone calls three months before I did.

M.C.: Yeah, I said “Good luck with this film!”

A.K.: It was weird. He was this earwig in my ear and I wouldn’t be finished with my line and he would start talking. And I was like, “Michael, what the eff! Interrupting cow….” It was challenging and it’s really rewarding when you get it, but I don’t know if I could work like that all the time. It was really challenging.

Bryan Gerhart: Comic junkies really love this series and these characters. Was there any pressure knowing that this mater
ial was seen as holy to someone and being able to step into the shoes of a character that some people care so much about?

M.C.: Yeah, definitely, but I did have total faith in Edgar. He’d been thinking so much about this for years and knew it so well. He’d been talking to Bryan who created the graphic novels. I never really was too worried. I felt like I was in really good hands and that he was going to do something really special.

A.K.: People really don’t seem to care about who plays Stacey. That wasn’t like one of the IMDB topics, “Who should play Stacey!? My fantasy Stacey Pilgrim casting!” So I didn’t have to contend with people going, “It should have been…..”

M.C.: Abigail.

A.K.: “Abigail Breslin!”

M.C.: She was at the premiere.

A.K.: Was she?

M.C.: She was fresh in my mind.


Claudia Pierece: Were you two familiar at all with the comic before signing on to the project? How did you prepare to embody the characters?

M.C.: I had read the first two and really loved them. As far as embodying them, the rehearsals were a big help just because some of the dialogue you’d read and you ask to yourself, “How am I gonna pull that off?” It’s so ridiculous, so over the top. It just can’t picture yourself saying it or selling it. So rehearsing was really focused. Edgar made me realize how big it can be. Also seeing everyone else do their stuff and helped get a sense of what the movie was going to be like and that was really helpful.

A.K.: I was not aware of the comic. I’m not aware of most things that are cool until someone else tells me. The great thing about the comic is how expressive Bryan’s artwork is. There’s a panel in the book that Edgar has on-set for our phone call scenes and it summed up their entire relationship. There’s Stacey’s judgmental face and Scott’s embarrassed face.


Joshua Blackburn: Are there any comedians, actors, actresses that you guys look up to and you mimic?

A.K.: I want to be more like Louis CK all the time in my life.

M.C.: He’s pretty awesome. I like Gary Shandling a lot. Some Bill Murray.

Miguel Concepcion: Coming to this interview, I was trying to recall anything you might’ve done video game related in the past, and I was thinking about the baseball game you were playing on the PlayStation in Frequency.

M.C.: Right, that’s true! But I was not really playing it. It was a pre-recorded thing. They had this video game set up and I’d sit there and pretend to be playing it all day.

A.K.: You didn’t have to get to play?

M.C.: No, it was just a video loop so they would have to match it to the scene…

A.K.: Boooooooo. BOOOOO!!!!!

Bryan Gerhart: What was it about these roles that was new to you in terms of things you haven’t done before as an actor, and what was new that you think you brought to the characters that were already established in the comic?

A.K.: Michael’s gonna have the more interesting answer for this. I’m gonna answer for Michael. I think Michael’s done tons of stuff in this that he’s never done before. I’m saying that in the commentary. We did the DVD commentary yesterday. You (Michael) weren’t in my group, but I think Michael is charming in a way that I’ve never seen before.

M.C.: Thank you very much. And so are you.

(collective laugh)

A.K.: I’m playing me. I’m me in this movie.

M.C.: It’s really hard to say, I don’t know. I felt like every moment was a crafted thing by Edgar. Every moment was so thought out that we kinda found it all in rehearsal and went and did it. We found a way that worked and just tried to do that.

A.K.: The moment that makes me laugh so much is when you say “What if I want the satisfaction?” Was that you? Was that him (Edgar) who came up with that?

M.C.: I really don’t remember.

A.K.: I just want to laugh thinking about it now. I’ve seen it so many times and that part still makes me laugh.

Claudia Pierce: Was there anything you saw when you finally got to see the movie that was phenomenal that you didn’t think was going to be in there?

A.K.: I thought the swords looked so much better than I thought. You first see the mock-ups, but in my head a flaming sword looked like a faded tattoo on the back of a guy’s butt. I just could not picture it but it looked really great in the movie. When you think ‘flaming sword’ you’d think “That’s stupid! That’s gonna look so stupid!” but it looked really cool.

M.C.: I couldn’t think of anything that was gonna be in there.


Joshua Blackburn: Even hearing the Seinfeld theme song?

M.C: Edgar jokingly mentioned that on-set and then he actually did it.

A.K.: ‘Cause Kieran was saying that at one point Edgar was telling him, “You have to pause for the laugh track.” and Kieran said, ‘Oh! You’re serious!’

M.C.: Edgar was doing the laugh track on-set.

A.K.: Oh really?!

M.C.: Yeah, in between lines he just sat and laughed.

A.K.: No way!

Japan Interview: Sweet but strong – Jackson Talks About His Next Tattoo

“‘Suaviter fortiter.’ That’s gonna be my next tattoo.” Actor Jackson Rathbone made this declaration last week while he and actress Nicola Peltz were in Tokyo to promote The Last Airbender, a new fantasy adventure movie.

The film was directed by M. Night Shyamalan and is based on a popular American animated TV series called Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Rathbone, 25, and Peltz, 15, play a brother and sister named Sokka and Katara who are members of a polar ethnic group called the Southern Water Tribe. Their parents have been abducted by marauders from the imperialistic Fire Nation, leaving Sokka, a young warrior, responsible for the care of his little sister, Katara.


Rathbone explained that “Suaviter Fortiter” is the Latin motto on his family crest, and that it means “sweetly yet bravely” or “nice and strong.” It’s a phrase that could describe Sokka’s responsibilities as a fighter and a surrogate parent.

“It’s the idea of being strong in who you are and your beliefs and what you think, but also being respectful as much as you can be without breaking. Literally, ‘Rathbone’ is a stick, a reed, that bends without breaking,” Rathbone said in a joint interview he and Peltz gave The Daily Yomiuri.

The actor, whose full name is Monroe Jackson Rathbone V, comes from a family that can boast of more than just a Latin motto. His ancestors include Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general in the American Civil War, and Monroe Jackson Rathbone II, who was a chairman of Standard Oil. “I’m actually even very thinly related to the incredible English actor Basil Rathbone,” he said.

Similarly, Peltz is the daughter of food industry billionaire Nelson Peltz, the chief executive officer of Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc. “My dad always taught me to work hard and always give 110 percent in everything I do,” she said. “I definitely keep learning and learned a lot from my dad.”

In The Last Airbender, however, Rathbone and Peltz play characters whose only family is each other (plus a very briefly seen grandmother) until they find the title character–who has the psychic power to “bend” air, controlling the wind–trapped in a state of suspended animation in a giant bubble of ice.

“Sokka and Katara stumble across him and we take him in, make him part of our family and then we kind of go on this quest to really right what’s wrong in the world,” Rathbone said.

In the United States, some fans of the anime-style cartoon have protested against the casting Rathbone and Peltz, who are white, in roles the fans saw as Asian.

Asked to comment on that, Rathbone said: “I originally was a finalist for Prince Zuko [a Fire Nation role that went to Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel]. Almost a year later, I was brought back in for the character of Sokka…I think what they were really looking for was the qualities that people represent, not so much focusing on race…All these characters [in the cartoon] have so many different features, you can’t really say that they are one race…It’s a shame that people really focus on the race thing and they don’t understand that it’s a story for everyone.”

“And there are over 120 different types of people in the film,” Peltz added.

“In terms of a big-budget film, it’s most ethnically diverse cast there’s ever been,” Rathbone agreed.

Some of that big budget went toward two weeks of filming in Greenland, while scenes of the Northern Water Tribe’s ice palaces were shot in Pennsylvania in what Rathbone called “the biggest sets built in sound stages on the East Coast. It was incredible. The sets were ridiculously gorgeous…There’s actually rivers and ponds. There is like a flowing river throughout the set.”

“And there’s waterfalls,” Peltz said. “It’s unbelievable. I was like, ‘Can I live here?’ It was awesome.”

Nikki Reed Interview by TheProvince

Eclipse's Reed was always ready





But during filming vampire flick, rain and fans kept cast tied up

It ain't easy being undead. The Twilight movies are getting harder to make as the books' plots become more involved and cover more of the characters' back stories, says actor Nikki Reed, who co-stars again in the third movie Eclipse as vampire Rosalie.

"In order to make a series, the story has to unfold, other characters have to come in," Reed says. "It adds a layer as each film progresses and it's more difficult to shoot."

Eclipse, filmed last summer and fall in Vancouver and currently in theatres, delves into Rosalie's history, with Reed filming scenes set in the Depression era when her character was still human, a naive society girl.

Just a few minutes of those scenes ended up in the finished movie, another challenge to making the movies.

"I hope they show up in an exended cut [on DVD]," Reed says over the phone from Los Angeles, where the Eclipse PR machine continues rolling.

Stephenie Meyer's third novel gives more depth to Rosalie, who is hostile in the first two books to the human teen played by Kristen Stewart.

"I had always been excited about making it to this film, obviously." says Reed. "Just for the sake of finally being able to justify Rosalie's behaviour. I've carried that responsibility with me, making sure that people get where she's coming from."

The scenes, filmed around old West End buildings and the Hotel Vancouver, required hours in the hair and makeup chair to recreate Rosalie's elaborate period look.

"That's the process of moviemaking," she says. "I also trained for seven weeks and didn't end up in the battle sequences -- that's a very silly mistake that we made."

A glitch in the lighting of her action scenes meant her work couldn't be used in the movie's climactic conflict between werewolves and good and bad vampires.

Eclipse started filming in mid-August last year, under the microscope of fans who came from all over North America to try to get close to the filming and the cast. Similar fan attention dogged the second movie New Moon when it filmed in the city earlier in 2009.

Reed acknowledges that the fan attention made daily life complicated, but says the attention has helped to turn the Twilight movies into a global phenomenon.

"We've been to Vancouver for two movies, eight, nine months in total. Unfortunately I don't get to experience Vancouver because we're very isolated there."

Lead actors Stewart, Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner had security with them while in Vancouver for the third movie, making them hard for fans to get close to, so that put more fan attention on Reed and the other supporting cast.

"It makes us closer," she says. "We cook a lot, we spend a lot of time indoors together, we do a lot of exiting underground. It's not a bad thing, it's just challenging. It's just a very unique experience we're having."

Reed had quit smoking a month before filming started -- she's been off cigarettes for a year now -- and says her friends in the cast helped.

"I was spending a lot of time going to the gym and being physcially active in order to get my mind off it," she says. "I hung out much more with Elizabeth Reaser this time because she's very active, she inspires me. Taylor and I went jet-skiing, Kellan Lutz and I went to the gym. I was kind of with the jocks this time around."

At work, another challenge to filming was Vancouver's frequently changing weather. The story called for overcast skies, but rain sometimes forced them indoors.

"We were always kept close to the set because we had weather issues. We had to be prepared and ready to go at any given moment. We were all brought in every single day, put through hair and makeup and then we would wait our turn to see if they would need us."

Reed was heading for Louisiana this weekend to start work on another movie, the action movie Catch .44 with Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker. She plays one of three friends -- Deborah Anne Woll ( True Blood) and Malin Akerman are the other two -- who are lured into a crime spree by an intriguing stranger (WIllis).

"My character is kid of a badass, the whole movie is badass," says Reed.

Meanwhile, the fourth Twilight book Breaking Dawn is to be made into two movies, filming this fall. Word is that production may move from Vancouver to Louisiana, but Reed says she knows nothing.

"They actually don't tell us anything," she says. "They tell us literally as we're getting on airplanes where we're going."
