Robert Pattinson Exclusive Video Interview REMEMBER ME

Last week I got to interview Robert Pattinson for his new movie Remember Me. Since he’s answered every possible question regarding the Twilight franchise and his other upcoming projects, what I decided to do was ask the people who follow me on Twitter to supply me with questions. While I knew I’d get a few things to ask…I was not prepared for the amount of emails and tweets that would be sent my way. I was blown away.

Since so many of you asked about certain things like would he do a commentary on the Remember Me DVD and what was up with his music, I didn’t single out any one person when I asked the questions. Just know I read every single email and tweet you sent in. Saying that, I mentioned who provided me with the first question, and we also talked about what he’d like to do if he had a free day in New York City and will he ever get into social networking. If you’re a fan of Robert Pattinson, I’m confident you’ll like this interview as I made sure to ask a few things that haven’t previously been asked. Take a look after the jump. Remember Me opens this weekend:

Remember Me also stars Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, and Chris Cooper. Allen Coulter directed the film and William Fetters wrote the screenplay.

Twilight Eclipse Trailer Arrives Online Thursday!

Grab a bag of glitter and plan a night at home around a computer with your friends. The first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is almost here. We’ve just learned it’s being released on Thursday, March 11th at 6:00AM PST / 9:00AM EST. The Eclipse trailer will really be more of a teaser. It’ll clock in at only 90 seconds long and, as for what it will contain, werewolves, vampires, and Bella looking at one of those two possibilities longingly is a sure bet.

But with the Twilight Flu being what it is, odds are you won’t want to wait till Thursday, so there will also be a teaser for the teaser released on Wednesday, March 10th. That’ll only be a 10 second long version of the 90 second teaser, long enough for Tyler Lautner to flex his muscles or something. That shows up in the morning at around 9AM PST.

You’ll be able to see both the teaser and the teaser for the teaser here on Cinema Blend, as soon as they debut. Stick around, we’ll have them for you and so will the movie’s official site. Or if you want to wait a few extra hours, it’ll officially debut in theaters this weekend in front of the new Robert Pattinson movie Remember Me.

KRISTEN STEWART TO APPEAR ON JAY LENO ON MARCH 10

With the press junket getting into full-swing for “The Runaways”, Kristen Stewart will appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday, March 10.  Dakota Fanning will hit the show on Friday, March 12.

CAN KRISTEN STEWART USE “THE RUNAWAYS” TO BECOME A SERIOUS ACTRESS

from latimes.com:

Only one week after her “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson will attempt to show off his more serious acting chops in “Remember Me,” Kristen Stewart will also stray from the world of vampires with “The Runaways.”

Surprisingly, it’s not Stewart but Fanning who seems to shine in the film. Fanning is known for her more innocent roles in “I Am Sam” and “The Secret Life of Bees,” but we were surprised by how much we bought Currie’s penchant for hard partying. Stewart, meanwhile, seems to be channeling the persona the public has assigned to her: a surly, rebellious teen who wants to do things her own way.  The question, of course, is whether she has the versatility to pull off roles that go beyond that of the mopey Bella Swan  ingenue in “Twilight” and “New Moon.” Despite the glimmers of possibility she flashed in “Adventureland,” from the bits we’ve see in this trailer, we have our doubts.

KELLAN LUTZ TO APPEAR IN “A MISFITS’ CHRISTMAS”

It has been reported that Kellan Lutz will star in a film called “A Misfits’ Christmas” along with Ashley Tisdale and Brittany Snow.  The film is centered around eight friends celebrating Christmas together.

from movieweb.com:

“[Misfits'] an escalating drama about eight friends who spend consecutive Christmas Eve’s together during their four years of college,” explains writer/director Tabb. “As we drop in on them annually, we watch the characters lose their innocence and form a dysfunctional family with interwoven relationships.

I’ll admit that Melissa Rosenberg’s interviews generally get on my nerves because she didn’t really seem to get which scenes were critical in the first movie, but this one has actually impressed me.  I love her comments on how she and Chris Weitz would have been “tarred and feathered” if they didn’t include the scene where Jacob takes off his shirt to tend to Bella’s head wound when she wipes out on the motorcycle.  It’s interesting to hear her take on working with three different directors on the same series.

As always, I love to see news of other Twilight cast members picking up new roles.  I’m looking forward to seeing Kellan in the “Nightmare on Elm Street” remake.  It will be interesting to see how this movie shapes up.

Rob and Kristen have a lot riding on their performances in “Remember Me” and “The Runaways”.  It seems that too many critics view them as teen heartthrobs and not as actors to take seriously.  I’m pleased to see that Rob has been getting lots of praise for his performance in “Remember Me”.  I hope that Kristen shares the same good fortune.  It bothers me that the author of the LA Times article is basing their assessment on the freakin’ trailer.  It’s not like Kristen lacks talent…unlike some of the bimbos who constantly greet us on magazine covers in the grocery store checkout line.

And the Winner Is… New Moon’s Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)

New Moon’s hard-bodied, chivalrous vampire, Edward Cullen, won your hearts by a landslide with 87 percent of votes. The other contestants — I Love You Man’s Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd), The Office’s Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Glee’s Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) — didn’t stand a chance. Edward’s loyalty, mystery and good looks make it clear why you’d want to get cozy with this brooding bad boy. Now if only he’d trade Bella for you! MORE HERE

‘Twilight’s’ Kellan Lutz: ‘Eclipse’ is an action a movie for guys

Kellan Lutz doesn’t want guys to be scared off by the “Twilight” love story.

In fact, he assures guys that the upcoming sequel “Eclipse” is “badass.”

“The action really drew me in and I think the guys are really going to like this movie,” he told MTV News, suggesting that both the romantic and action elements would make a great date-night movie.

Without spoiling too much of the plot for those who haven’t read the books, “Eclipse” will mobilize the vampires and the werewolves in a battle that involves Bella (Kristen Stewart) of course.

“I enjoy doing action movies,” said Lutz. “I enjoy being, you know, fighting and stuff like there, but there’s a lot of action [this time around]. A lot more than the love story.”

You can get a sneak preview of the action in the “Eclipse” trailer that will play before Robert Pattinson’s “Remember Me,” which hits theaters on Friday, March 12. “Eclipse” will premiere on June 30. SOURCE

Chris Weitz Wishes He Could Cut the Frolicking Vampire Scene From New Moon

Twilight fans still have a few months to go before Eclipse hits theaters this Summer, but they’ll flock to the stores in a few weeks to pick up copies of New Moon on DVD on March 21. There are a few editions featuring all kinds of bonus features, and I was lucky enough to chat with director Chris Weitz on everything from his favorite scene, to Rob and Kristen’s relationship, to what he wishes had ended up on the cutting room floor.

There are lots of different editions of the New Moon DVD. Which bonus features are you particularly excited about? I’m excited that my voice will finally be heard! For me, the fun thing was doing the commentary with Peter Lambert, my editor, because it kind of re-created the atmosphere in the cutting room. Peter’s a really funny guy, and we were able to delve into not only the behind-the-scenes moments, but to explain why certain things were shot or cut together in certain ways. So that, for me, was the most fun.

When you go back and watch it again, are there things you’d like to change if you could? I would like to never have shot Rob and Kristen running through the forest and Kristen’s just turned into a vampire. Because everybody always laughs and it makes me feel terrible. [Laughs] I would have shot it a different way so it wouldn’t get that response. But otherwise, I’m very happy with things.

You must get lots of questions abut Rob and Kristen. Do you laugh it off or are you totally sick of hearing about it? I’m somewhat clueless — when you’re the director, you’re kind of like the school principal. Nobody really tells you anything. You really have no idea what’s going on. I’m the last person who would know about this kinda stuff. I’m sure you could get more from reading the paper. MORE HERE

‘Eclipse’ Will Be Steamy, Says ‘New Moon’ Director

Although Weitz is not directing ‘Eclipse’ — director David Slade is taking over — he has read the script.

Spoiler alert: The scene includes Bella, who is on the run from evil vampire Victoria. To keep from freezing in the cold, she snuggles close to werewolf Jacob. Of course, a jealous Edward looks on and isn’t too happy about it.

Weitz also revealed the other scenes he’s excited for fans to see, including an intense action sequence featuring Edward Cullen’s vampire “parents,” played by Elizabeth Reaser and Peter Facinelli.

“I have a special interest in seeing Peter and Elizabeth tear people’s heads off,” he says with a laugh.

“Knowing them, and how kind of kooky and delightful they are, I’m going to find seeing them being ultra-violent very interesting indeed.” SOURCE

Chris Weitz Bails on ‘Breaking Dawn’; Twi-Hard Nation Sheds Sparkly Tear, Wonders What’s Next

Sorry, Twi-hards; Chris Weitz has some bad news for you.

After months of feverish speculation, the New Moon director’s rep has confirmed that Weitz won’t be on board for Breaking Dawn, the final installment (or is that installments?) of The Twilight Saga. According to the rep, it was Weitz’s decision not to carry on with the series.

But even though he won’t be ordering sexy vamps and werewolves around anymore, Weitz will be keeping busy over the next year or so; despite his earlier suggestions that he might quit the movie biz, the Golden Compass helmsman has several new projects in the works, including the pick-up comedy The Game (based on the Neil Strauss novel), American Pie 4 and the intriguingly titled Another Bullsh*t Night in Suck City (which is probably the exact sentiment that many Twi-hards are experiencing upon reading this news).

But let’s wipe away those tears and turn our attention to the pressing topic at hand: If Weitz is out, who should direct Breaking Dawn? Eclipse director David Slade? Woody Allen? (Please, let it be Woody Allen!)  SOURCE

Oh I would love to leave my husband for Edward!!

I admit that I did laugh when I first saw the frolicking scene in ‘New Moon’. It just seemed so out of place in the dark setting of the Volturi, but the other times I saw it, I understood what Weitz was trying to portray but I wish they would have changed the wardrobe. ::giggles::

With all this speculation over the director for ‘Breaking Dawn’, who would your choice be?

Robert Pattinson wax figure announced by Madame Tussauds in London

Ask and ye shall receive . . . at least that appears to be the sentiment when it comes to seeing The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Remember Me star Robert Pattinson in a wax figure sort of state.

Madame Tussauds, a famed international celebrity wax museum chain, has announced that their London venue will play host to a brand new sculpture of Robert Pattinson himself . . . and that this was by popular demand.

The studios team are busy recreating R-Pattz’s trademark sultry expression and messy hair, whilst the figure’s outfit will reflect his rugged style with an open collared shirt and skinny trousers. The figure making process takes four months of intense work to complete at a cost of £150,000.
Pretty pricey monument, eh?

Tussauds goes on to state that they “have been inundated by requests to make him at Madame Tussauds London.”
The company reports an estimated availability schedule of April for the product.  SOURCE

Summit replaces editor on ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’

Summit Entertainment, the studio behind the uber-successful Twilight series, confirmed this morning that it has replaced Eclipse editor Art Jones with Nancy Richardson, the editor of Catherine Hardwicke’s original Twilight film. The studio is not placing blame on Jones, who previously worked with Eclipse director David Slade on his horror film 30 Days of Night as well as Slade’s Ellen Page-starrer Hard Candy. They do believe, however, that Slade’s material – which they call “very good” – needed a stronger edit. The studio has more confidence in Richardson, who they say understands the emotion of the characters and is an ace at balancing action with the other elements of the film.

Richardson recently completed Miley Cyrus’ upcoming romantic drama The Last Song. Eclipse is scheduled to debut on June 30. SOURCE

‘Remember Me’ Stars Rave About Robert Pattinson At NYC Premiere

NEW YORK — The mountains of snow piled up on the sidewalks could not keep Robert Pattinson’s fans at bay Monday evening (March 1) at the red-carpet premiere for his romantic drama, “Remember Me.” The screaming masses lined up early and were gifted with a few moments of rabid OME-dom as RPattz ran down the line greeting all those who waited to catch a glimpse of him.

Inside the makeshift press tent at the Paris Theatre in midtown, the energy was no less wild, the screams of folks waiting to talk with Pattinson no less ear-piercing. But the 23-year-old superstar, tired yet amused as ever by the pandemonium, seemed to take it all in stride. While MTV News was chatting with his co-star Emilie de Ravin, Pattinson leaned over and shouted, “Emilie! Emilie! What’s the most fascinating thing about me? Just say it!”

‘Twilight’ Star Kellan Lutz ‘Wouldn’t Want To See’ ‘Breaking Dawn’ In 3-D

Kristen Stewart gave it a maybe. Robert Pattinson thinks it might give him a headache. So what does Kellan Lutz think about the idea of releasing “Breaking Dawn” in 3-D, when (or if) it’s made? Well, he’s not too keen on the idea.

“I heard they were talking about it. I don’t really care to see it in 3-D,” he told MTV News on the red carpet at Cosmopolitan magazine’s 2010 Fun Fearless Males party on Monday night in New York City.

Like Pattinson, Lutz isn’t a big fan of movies filmed in multiple dimensions. “3-D kind of hurts my eyes anyways. ‘Avatar’ was amazing in 3-D and in IMAX, but I don’t think I wanna see a little baby half-vampire in 3-D,” he said, echoing a similar sentiment made by Stewart. “There’s just some scenes I just wouldn’t want to see in 3-D.”

And with no formal announcement that more movies will be shot from the “Twilight Saga,” Lutz is in favor of breaking the book up into two flicks with “New Moon” helmer Chris Weitz back in the director’s chair, if the film should get the green light. “I’d love to see Chris Weitz come back,” he said late last year. “I just had so much fun shooting with him. I mean, obviously I would just love to do ['Breaking Dawn']. There’s no word. … Hopefully we get that phone call, and if they want to make it into five movies, I just don’t want it to end. I love my character so much.”

I wonder how Rob feels with having himself made into a wax figure? I mean this totally means he as ‘made it’ but the wax figure thing really creeps me out!

I love the natural chemistry that Emilie and Rob share, I can’t wait to see how it is portrayed on film!!

What do you think about Summit changing the editor for ‘Eclipse’?

What do you think about Breaking Dawn possibly being in 3-D? I don’t know how I would feel about that. I think for the forest scences when Bella is first discovering her vampire-powers that would be cool, but other than that I cant’ imagine any other scenes needing to be 3-D.

KELLAN LUTZ STARS IN NEW PETA AD

from looktothestars.org:

Sexy Twilight star Kellan Lutz is starring in a new PETA ad with his adorable rescued dog Kola to tell fans, ‘Adopt, Don’t Buy.”

“It’s our job to take [animals] under our wing and take care of them and give them a place to live,” Kellan explains, referencing the more than 7 million dogs and cats that are left at animal shelters in the U.S., many of whom are euthanized for lack of finding a good home.

“I went to numerous animal shelters and I saw this dog in the corner, she was in a cage with a bigger dog, she was scared…you can feel the pain that they go through,” Kellan says of adopting Kola, “I just looked in her eyes and knew she was just for me.”

BILLY BURKE IN IMAGE FROM “ECLIPSE” SET

Another picture from the set of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is floating around the Internet and features Billy Burke dressed in a sport coat, button-down shirt, and a pair of jeans.  Unless he’s got a hot date with Sue Clearwater that we don’t know about,  it looks like it’s graduation day for Forks High School.

I absolutely loved the “Robert Is Bothered” featuring Robert on Jimmy Fallon last night!  I had hoped that he would do something like that when I heard that he’d be on the show and I was thrilled when some of the stills of them in the tree made their way online yesterday afternoon.  It’s great that he has such a great sense of humor about it.

As always, I love Peter Facinelli.  He really understands what it means to give back.  He’s not just all talk and I think that he sets an outstanding example for his children.  Along the same lines, kudos to Kellan for his work with animals.  There are so many animals in shelters waiting for a home and, sadly, most of them are euthanized because the shelters don’t have the space or money to keep all of the animals until they are adopted.  I am so grateful for the no-kill shelter in my town that utilizes foster families and holds adoption fairs!

A lot has happened to late-night TV in the last year. Though many headlines have focused on gossip and scandal, at least one positive development has come from it all: Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night hosting gig.

Some viewers may have been doubtful at first, but Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has emerged as a spot for fresh comedy bits, cool musical guests and nightly surprises. Tonight Fallon celebrates his one-year anniversary with a few big-name guests.
