MICHAEL CAIN THINKS ROB HAS TALENT

Talent-spotting is an unreliable art, but Caine still likes to have a go. He’s not terribly excited by the current crop of vampire antiheroes.

“They all look the same … very slight dark young men with very bright eyes and pale skin. But I’m sure some of them will develop into big stars – the boy [Robert] Pattinson will, I’m sure.”

ROB FORGETS HIS ACCENT, TALKS 'BEL AMI' IN HUNGARIAN MEDIA

“I have not been speaking [with a British accent]; ironically now I’m playing a British person and I need it. So now I’m out of practice,” he says.

Sorry for the rough translation. You can get the gist of what he says, though.
Robert Pattinson, in recent years, has so often played Americans that he has almost forgotten how to speak with a British accent. Thanks to the Twilight series, the teen-idol has become the number one actor in the movies. He can be seen today in “Remember Me,” shot in New York.
“I have not been speaking it; ironically now I’m playing a British person and I need it. So now I’m out of practice,” he says.

Remember Me: a combination love story and family drama in which two young people from broken families are attracted to each other–but this is not a normal “love story” love story.

“The storyline of the film doesn’t fall within a single category. When a man meets someone with whom he falls in love, it does not necessarily mean that everything from then on will be all rosy. The majority of the people think he should go to therapy, because they think he ought to be constantly happy.”

The actor is not helped by his life of filming in New York or the paparazzi, or by the fans of Twilight.
“The first two weeks were terrible, but I’m starting to get used to it. Some things you have to shut out and learn from. I tried to put the rage into the character development.”

The actor was currently working on Bel Ami: Guy Maupassant’s novella. “I shot the film because I liked the idea of being the character; the role takes away from Edward, the vampire role. –Ironically, this role is: a women-crazy character, who takes everything. My character in Twilight is the opposite of radical.”

ROB PATTINSON SURROUNDED BY OSCAR PEDIGREES IN 'WATER FOR ELEPHANTS'

Robert Pattinson will be surrounded by Oscar winners and nominees both in front and behind the cameras in his upcoming project Water for Elephants, directed by Francis Lawrence (whose last feature was Will Smith’s I Am Legend) and based on Sara Gruen’s novel.
Pattinson’s co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz are both Oscar winners. Witherspoon won a Best Actress Oscar for James Mangold’s Walk the Line (2005), while Waltz was this year’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

Hal Holbrook, who’ll be playing the aged version of Pattinson’s character — a young traveling-circus veterinary during the Depression years — received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for Sean Penn’s Into the Wild two years ago.

Additionally, Water for Elephants screenwriter Richard LaGravenese was nominated for his work on Terry Gilliam’s The Fisher King (1991); production designer Jack Fisk (Sissy Spacek’s husband) and set decorator Jim Erickson shared a nomination for There Will Be Blood (2007); and costume designer Jacqueline West has been up for two Oscars: Quills (2000) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008).

Rodrigo Prieto was the Oscar-nominated cinematographer of Brokeback Mountain. And finally, one of Water for Elephants‘ three producers, Gil Netter, was shortlisted as one of the producers of this year’s Best Picture nominee The Blind Side.

USA TODAY - 'ECLIPSE' SNEAK PEEK REVEALS 'BRIGHTER, FASTER -PACED ADVENTURE'

The nearly all-female crowd at the special Oprah show Twilight screening in Chicago on Tuesday night ate up every iconic Eclipse moment as it was played out onscreen - Spoiler Alert! - including Bella's two kisses with werewolf Jacob and the outdoor tent scene where hot-blooded Jacob spoons with Bella to save her from freezing to death as a seething Edward is forced to watch, reports USA TODAY's Susan Wloszczyna.

After the rather heavy-hearted events of New Moon, Eclipse is a brighter, faster-paced adventure that is allows more room for humor and also more horrific violence as a marauding band of vicious newborn vampires eventually face off with the blood-sucking Cullen clan and the werewolf pack.

Somehow, director David Slade has turned the gloomy darkness of the popular book series into the perfect light summer fare. Today, stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner will tape their Oprah segment for a show that airs May 13. As for Eclipse, fans will have to wait until June 30.

BETTY WHITE 'TOO BUSY' TO GET NAKED WITH ROB PATTINSON

Golden Girl Betty White says she is too busy to do a nude scene with Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson who is 65 years her junior.

But the 88-year-old actress says she should write to the 23-year-old Brit for reportedly calling her the sexiest woman in the US.

'I should write him a thank you note,' White tells the New York Post.
When asked if she would do a nude scene with the heart-throb though, White squashed the idea.

'No, sorry. I wouldn't,' she says. 'There really isn't much spare time these days.'

TV veteran White will guest host US TV show Saturday Night Live on May 8 after fans launched an internet campaign requesting that she appear.

'I don't understand it all,' White says. 'I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet.'

2010 TIME 100 ROB ARTICLE BY CHRIS WEITZ

I have to be careful about what I write here because it will be tweeted the moment TIME hits the stands. And if I say something bad about Rob Pattinson, I’m dead meat. That’s the devotion the Twilight films inspire. It’s certainly not how he planned it. And though I am continually impressed by the aplomb with which he handles the hysteria, I occasionally think he would take it all back if given the chance. Because essentially, Rob, 23, is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who’d rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

So how to write about someone who seems to answer Freud’s rhetorical question, What do women want? Perhaps it’s just worth pointing out that it’d be fun to have a beer with him even if he weren’t Edward Cullen. That we haven’t seen a tenth of what he can do onscreen. And that important things, beyond the veil of Hollywood, occupy his time too — music, conversation, ideas, a sense of the absurd. Which, maybe, explains why he never gets to my e-mails. I love you, Rob! Call me!

CONFIRMED: OSCAR-WINNER BILL CONDON DIRECTING BREAKING DAWN

As reported earlier, Summit Entertainment has found its next "Twilight" filmmaker and now formally locked up Oscar-winner Bill Condon to direct "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn." While none of the stars have signed deals yet, the entire cast including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are expected to return. This is possibly one reason the studio has not confirmed whether, as rumored, there will be one or two "Breaking Dawn" films.

“I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book - and we're hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience," said Bill Condon.

The fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's popular series chronicles Bella's most advanced initiation into the vampire world to date, but is also seen by many as the most difficult to adapt of all the best-selling novels. Melissa Rosenberg, who adapted the first two novels, would continue in that role for "Dawn." Stephenie Meyer has already met with Condon to discuss the project. She noted in the release, "I'm so thrilled that Bill wants to work with us. I think he's going to be a great fit, and I'm excited to see what he does with the material."

Erik Feig, President of Production and Acquisitions, for Summit Entertainment added, "Bringing Stephenie Meyer's BREAKING DAWN to the screen requires a graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense creativity and subtle sensitivity."

Condon is best known for directing and adapting the box office and critical hit "Dreamgirls" which was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won two including Best Supporting Actress for star Jennifer Hudson. The film also won the Golden Globe for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy and grossed $103 million at the U.S. box office. The filmmaker won his own Oscar in 1998 for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Gods and Monsters." He was subsequently nominated again in the same category for "Chicago." Condon also received a prestigious Director's Guild of America Best Director nod for "Dreamgirls." More impressive, besides Hudson's breakthrough, he's shepherded Oscar nominations for Ian McKellen ("Gods and Monsters"), Lynn Redgrave ("Gods and Monsters") and Laura Linney ("Kinsey"). And for those concerned about Condon's genre credentials, he's more than happy to discuss directing 1995's "Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh" to anyone who will ask. Most recently, Condon teamed up with producer Larry Mark to produce the 81st Academy Awards with host Hugh Jackman. That show received strong critical notices and was nominated for more Emmy Awards than any Oscar broadcast in history.

Upcoming projects for Condon include the potential HBO series "Tilda" starring Diane Keaton and inspired by notorious online entertainment blogger Nikki Finke. Condon will shoot the pilot for "Tilda" before "Breaking Dawn" begins prep early this summer. The fate of the long in the works "Richard Pryor" biopic and the recently announced drama "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" is still unclear.

Catherine Hardwicke directed the first "Twilight" which was a surprise blockbuster grossing $384 million worldwide. The follow up, last fall's "New Moon" was shepherded by fan favorite Chris Weitz and made an eye-popping $707 million worldwide. The third chapter, "Eclipse," will hit theaters on June 30 under David Slade's direction.

Production is expected to begin early this fall.

UPDATE: PEOPLE MAGAZINE HAS ROB ON THEIR "WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL" LIST

This morning, People Magazine previewed their yearly "World's Most Beautiful" list, and guess who was on it? None other than Twilight star Robert Pattinson, of course!

Here's what People had to say about Pattinson:

His pale, otherworldly complexion may make girls swoon, but the British heartthrob, 23, says looking the part of a lovesick vampire in the Twilight series isn't quite as thrilling: "Having that makeup put on every single day, as soon as you get it taken off it's like, 'Oh, you do look normal. You look healthy now."

In all, People will have more than just the dozen and a half celebrities shown in the preview, but for now Pattinson joins Julia Roberts, Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Vergara, Bradley Cooper, Katy Perry, Amanda Seyfried, Justin Bieber, Julianna Margulies, and others on the list.

WILL ROB & KRISTEN MAKE PEOPLE MAGAZINE "MOST BEAUTIFUL" ISSUE?

Last year, Robert Pattinson took a spot in People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” issue. Kristen Stewart was just recently added as the homepage feature for People’s “Beautiful at Every Age” feature story.

So, it begs the question – will either of them earn a spot in this year’s “Most Beautiful” issue?

Countless magazines and websites have listed both Robert and Kristen as beautiful people. But, is that enough to earn them a coveted spot in the magazine?

With Kristen’s flood of red carpet press lately, plus her upcoming Flaunt issue, AND her appearance in Teen Vogue’s “Best Dressed” March issue, she’s been given rave reviews for her looks as of late.

Robert Pattinson has, for the most part, always been the center of “good looking” attention since he starred as Edward Cullen in “Twilight”.

However, if you recall the “Most Beautiful” issue, it’s not all about looks. It’s about do-gooders and people who live by hat they believe in.

In a recent post, I discussed the charitable contributions the “Twilight” cast has made. There is no doubt that Rob and Kristen do as much as they can given their schedules, and the fact that they are extremely busy but still manage to make time for charity only adds to their beauty.

Additionally, both Rob and Kristen stick to their guns when it comes to living their lives the way they want to, aside from what their celebrity, magazines, television or movie studios ask of them.

Only time will tell, but do you believe Rob and Kristen deserve a spot in the issue? They have my vote.

ROB FAILS TO MATCH THE RICHES OF DANIEL RADCLIFFE

Robert Pattinson may easily top the most sought-afters of young actors, but moneywise, he is still a small fry compared to the big fishes like Daniel Radcliffe.

That is the impression you will get from the latest rich list published by Sunday Times UK.

The Twilight vamp finds himself in the 5th place of Britain’s richest movie star under 30 list- that thanks mainly to the neat £13 million he has scooped playing the husky vamp Edward Cullen in the first two Twilight movies. And however eye-popping that amount may seem to you, one man who will surely refuse to get cowed down by that would be the 20-year-old Daniel Radcliffe.

Because the Harry Potter star has reportedly raked in a whopping £42m from the franchise. Even his co-stars Emma Watson (20) and Rupert Grint (21) will easily beat Rob in question of a bank balance, with their individual fortunes reading £ 22 and £ 20 million respectively.

Another British actor who makes the cut before Rob is Keira Knightley with a £ 28 million against her name.

In the Sunday Time Top 20 young millionaires list, Rob holds the 14th place while Radcliffe makes it to the fifth.

Here is the full list-

1 Arthur Landon, 28, inheritance £200m

2 Andrew Michael, 30, internet £130m

3 Fawn, 24, and India Rose James, 18, inheritance £120m

4 Richard Walters, 30, construction and mining £98m

5 Daniel Radcliffe, 20, films £42m

6 Sean O’Connor, 29, finance £33m

7= Kiera Chaplin, 27, media £28m

7= Keira Knightley, 25, films £28m

7= Princes William, 27, and Harry, 25, land and inheritance £28m

10= Adam Hildreth, 25, software £22m

10= Emma Watson, 20, films and modeling £22m

12 Rupert Grint, 21, films £20m

13 Richard Jones, 27, internet £15m

14 Robert Pattinson, 23, films £13m

15 Natalia Vodianova, 28, modeling £12m

16= Charlotte Church, 24, music £11m

16= Katherine Jenkins, 29, music £11m

16= Leona Lewis, 25, music £11m

16= Earl of Shaftesbury, 30, land £11m

20= Cheryl Cole, 26, music £10m

20= Dominic McVey, 25, publishing and property £10m

20= Katie Melua, 25, music £10m

New 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' trailer quotes versus the book

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' trailer screencap



When the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was revealed, I did a side-by-side comparison of the quotes offered in the trailer versus those found in Stephenie Meyer's book.

You all seemed to enjoy it, and we found then that a lot of the words chosen for the film were very similar to those used in the book version of the story.

The same is true for today's new, final trailer for the film, and after looking at the trailer quotes next to those of the book, I think you'll agree.

Trailer: "Jacob what are you doing?" Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan.
Book: There was no direct quote from Bella like this because Edward is the first to address Jacob, but her first words to Jacob in this scene were as follows: "What are you talking about?" Bella Swan, Page 78.

Trailer: "I'm here to warn you," Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
Book: Edward intiates the "warning" talk by saying, "I already know what you came to say. Message delivered. Consider us warned." Edward Cullen, Page 78. Then, Jacob says "You didn't tell her? What, were you afraid she'd take our side?" Jacob Black, Page 78.

Trailer: "You should just leave . . . now," Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
Book: "Leave now," Edward Cullen, Page 79.

Trailer: "She has a right to know," Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
Book: "You don't think Bella has a right to know? It's her life," Jacob Black, Page 80.

Trailer: "What?" Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan.
Book: "What don't I know? Edward?" Bella Swan, Page 78.

Trailer: "We’ve been tracking the situation in Seattle for a while. Unexplained disappearances, killings . . ." Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.
Book: "We've been monitoring the situation for a few weeks. All the signs are there - the unlikely disappearances, always in the night, the poorly disposed of corpses, the lack of other evidence . . ." Edward Cullen, Page 26.

Trailer: "Someone’s creating an army," Peter Facinelli as Carlisle Cullen.
Book: In the book, it is Jasper who introduces the concept of a newborn army. "I've seen this before, and there's no other explanation. There is an army of newborn vampires in Seattle," Jasper Hale, Page 303.

Trailer: "An army of vampires?" Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan.
Book: There doesn't seem to be a direct counterpart to this quote, but it does resemble one quote by Alice during these moments. "An army. Why didn't you tell me?" Alice Cullen, page 302.

Trailer: "They're coming here," Ashley Greene as Alice.
Book: In the book, Alice says "The decision's been made" on Page 378, and Bella is the one to say "They're coming here" on the same page.

Trailer: "This means an ugly fight with lives lost," Peter Facinelli as Carlisle Cullen.
Book: This is more of an interpretation than a direct quote translation. Here's a passage it is reflective of. "'We'll need you to each us, Jasper,' Carlisle finally said. 'How to destory them.' Carlisle's jaw was hard, but I could see the pain in his eyes as he said the words. No one hated violence more than Carlisle," Page 306.

Trailer: "We’re in . . . as long as we get to kill some vampires," Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
Book: "It won't be even [. . .] It won't be easy for us. Still, this is our job more than yours," Jacob Black, Page 380. "Don't be ridiculous, Bells. You're giving me a much better gift than the one I gave you," Page 382. Also, here's another passage that echos the sentiment of this quote: "'Fighting with vampires instead of against them!' Jacob mirrored Edward's tone of disgust. 'Well, you still get to fight against some of them,' Edward said. Jacob smiled. 'That's the reason we're here,'" Page 409.

The final quotes in the trailer are between the Volturi, with someone saying "It's time," and Dakota Fanning as Jane saying, "Yes it is." The Volturi viewpoint during the story was not previewed to the reader, so there aren't any direct quotes from the book that mirror this, but the phrases do mimic those used by the characters in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, so there's not any issues with continuity.

As you can see above, it seems that the dialogue in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is quite reflective, so far, of the book's language. If the whole script pulls this narrowly from the text, it should be one heck of a Twilight film!
