Rob's Interview with Empire Online

Some questions look the same, but a lot of great new answers

His name is now synonymous with screaming fans, tousled hair and possibly sparkly skin, such that Robert Pattinson may find it difficult to escape the shadow of vampire Edward. But as we found out recently, he's largely at peace with the role these days and only slightly bemused at what the fans see in Edward. Here he is on becoming a vampire dad, behaving like a secret agent and going on guilt trips. Mild spoilers for those who haven't read the book...

Are you happy to say goodbye to Twilight? And what has its impact been on our culture?
I guess I’m happy to move on, but it was nice to have good closure. I found Edward quite a restrictive character but in Breaking Dawn he kind of loosens up about everything. I mean, it’s almost impossible not to when you’re delivering babies and, you know, Bella is dying and all this stuff is happening. You can’t play it the same, and that was nice. It was nice to have arguments and things as Edward, which seemed very unusual. But um, what’s its contribution to the culture? Well one of the main things, which obviously the books did but the movies helped, was just getting young people reading again. Harry Potter started this thing, but anything which gets kids reading, it helps. As soon as you start reading one series then you start reading a bunch of other stuff. Just in terms of the film industry as well, I think Twilight showed that you can have a female audience for something and it does well.

What about its perception of romance?
I think it’s a fairly traditional romance. I have never understood the fascination with vampires though. I mean, people are obsessed and I don’t know why. I know the history of it; I find it interesting to think there are true stories of things in, say, Romania. I like all the conspiracy theory aspects of it, but I guess when doing Twilight that is why all the vampire people hate us, because we didn’t have fangs, don’t get burnt in the sunlight or anything. I didn’t really have to do any research about vampires.

How was it shooting the films back to back? Was there a different kind of feel to it doing two movies?
Yeah, it felt like a long time when we were shooting it. Also, at the beginning we were a lot less stressed than we were before. It became stressful later, when we suddenly realized we were basically shooting these two films. It became even more work in the end than normal, but for the first couple of months it was like “Eh, we got 8 months! This is easy!”.

New Rob Interview - Talks about being followed by fans, Breaking Dawn and more

Looks like it's from a round table interview or press conference. Some quotes were posted, but lots of new ones.. From The Bristol Evening Post

He’s won an army of devotees playing a sexy vampire in The Twilight Saga, but as the penultimate movie is released, actor Robert Pattinson is already dreaming of an end to the “craziness” that comes with fame, writes SHEREEN LOW

Three years ago Robert Pattinson was a little-known actor with a small part in two Harry Potter films and a handful of TV roles behind him.

Fast forward to 2011 and the British actor – known as "R-Patz" to his devotees – can't even step out of his front door without feeling paranoid about being accosted and stalked by fans.

"A lot of the time you think people are way crazier than they are. You think they've been waiting for five hours when they've only been there for five minutes.

"I was in London once and no one found out where I was staying the whole time I was there, and then this girl, waiting in the courtyard of the hotel in complete pitch blackness, called out my name – and I thought, 'This is it. I'm going to get killed'," he says, grinning at the memory.

"The thing that drives me crazy is if people follow you when you leave the building. As soon as I lose those people, I'm fine."

The reason for all this fear? The film juggernaut that is The Twilight Saga, a spellbinding love triangle between vampire Edward Cullen, Bella Swan and werewolf Jacob Black.

Based on Stephanie Meyers' best-selling books, the three films, with the eagerly anticipated fourth instalment Breaking Dawn Part 1 about to hit screens, have propelled the lead cast members – Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner – to global stardom.

"When you agree to be interviewed, it's an opportunity to review your own moronic-ness" he says. "It's OK if I come across as a complete idiot, but it's not fair for me to describe or refer to anyone else. Anyone can be tainted by my mention of them".

Kristen Stewart talks Rob and fans in interview with GQ UK

There's no doubt that the young woman sitting across from me, sipping a beer quietly, with the smoke from her cigarette trailing up into the tress, is somewhat transformed from the teenage girl who set out a little naively (her words) on this whole joinery more than four years ago. Lessons have been learnt. "The main moment, when we knew it was going to be a big deal, was at Comic-Con in Sand Diego in 2008. It was the first piece of promotion for Twilight that any of us had done, so we had no real expectations. There were thousands and thousands of people waiting for us. That was the moment when we felt how powerful this thing was going to be. It was me, Rob [Pattinson], Ashley Greene, Taylor [Lautner], and we just looked at each other and were like, 'What the hell is going on'"

All their hopes (and fears) were soon to be realized. Twilight was destined to become a full-blown trans-global youth culturequake and Kristen, along with British-born Pattinson, the main stars at the centre of the maelstrom, not least due to the are-they/aren't-they off-camera relationship rumours. The momentum ignited by the huge fanbase was soon plundered by those at the top of Summit Entertainment, the company at the helm of the cinematic adaptation. Nothing gets movie executives foamier around the mouth than the prospect of cashing in on the young, easily influenced and truly obsessed. Or, as the most ardent fans of Pattinson are known amid the darker recesses of the internet, the "Robsessed". "From that moment on, the guys from the studio were walking around with dollar signs in their eyes. Like, kerching! And then it began. The insanity. The schedules. The demands. The interviews."

(...)

Snow White and the Huntsman is filming in and around Gloucestershire, although Kristen is spending a good deal of time in a rental in Notting Hill, London. The day before, while at the GQ shoot, she had explained that she was looking forward to seeing more of the UK, as “my boyfriend is English”, although when I bring this up again the blood drains into her boots. “I never would have said that if I knew you were going to be interviewing me.”

I honestly hadn’t expected such a defensive reaction, but it’s clear when she feels her privacy is being breached, Kristen is quick to transform into “Tiger Mom”. The whole issue, if you don’t already know, has to do with whether or not she’s dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, the subject of which has seen more speculation than the origin of Barack Obama’s birth certificate. I tell her I’m surprised this is such an issue seeing as the evidence is already out there for all to see on the web - the photos, the stolen moments, the Christmas getaways... “Yeah, I know it is,” she admits. “So much of my life is so easily googled. I mean, it’s like, come on guys, it’s so obvious!” Her mood tights, perhaps all too aware of how much she’s already said. “But this subject, I don’t think you realise what a big deal it is for people. Well, it is a big deal. They would be ‘Oh. My. God’ There would also be still a 50/50 split. Some people would still be, ‘See, told you they’re not together.”

Kristen is acutely aware of all the gossipmongers. Far more so than I am, it seems. She knows about names: the “Robstens” (those who think K-Stew” and R-Patz” are together); the “Nonstens” (those fans who think they aren’t) and the “F***stens” (those who say they don’t give a monkey’s either way - but actually really do). I ask her who it is such a big deal to? These deranged fans? To her and Rob? What is it she’s so worried about?

"I don't worry about it at all. It's just one of those things. I'm selfish. I'm like, 'That's mine!' And I like to keep whatever is mine remaining that way. It's a funny little game to play and it's a slippery slope. I always say to myself I'm never going to give anything away because there's never any point or benefit for me."

Kellan Lutz - JustJared.com Exclusive Interview! Including new hot pics of Kellan!

Kellan Lutz poses for some exclusive shots for JustJared.com while at Comic-Con 2011, held earlier in the month in San Diego, Calif.

Here is what the 26-year-old Twilight hunk had to share:

Just Jared: Talk to us about concluding the Twilight films now that you filmed the last 2 movies…

Kellan Lutz: I look back, and you know, I was working as an actor, it was really cool, I was very fortunate. I had just finished up Generation Kill which took me seven months in Africa and a very epic project to work with for HBO and then I got on the ride of Twilight and that took off and it’s like Superman, the ride at Six Flags, where you just shoot and you have no idea what’s going on and it just continuously gets higher and higher and more enjoyable.

JJ: Coming from the HBO projects, I’m sure you had many ideas for your career, not knowing Twilight would become what it was, did you almost turn down the role?

KL: Yeah, I didn’t want to do it. I spent so much time filming in Africa, seven months, and that’s a long time to be away from your family and dogs. My agent wanted me to read for Edward and I read the script and thought that character was too depressing for me right now, I want to do something where I smile. I wanted to take a break from acting and I said that, I turned it down, I turned down the audition a couple of times. Ryan, my agent at the time really knew it was going to be a special project so he told me to read the role of Emmett, and I read it, it was only about four lines, but he was the big brother, the comedic relief and I fell in love with him. I said “Sure, I would love to play this type of role”. I auditioned, and long story short, here I am finishing the saga and Emmett is going to be in my heart forever.

JJ: You guys really filmed these films so quickly.

KL: It did go fast! I was thinking about that. Four years to do five movies is great. The movies have been nice, this last one was seven months because we shot two which was kind of tough, but it has been a fun ride.

The Look: MR Jamie Campell Bower (Interview + Photoshoot)

Not many men can get away with unlaced, 24-hole, leather boots in the middle of summer. You know the sort: those footwear monstrosities worn by the sort of boys who bask perennially outside R&B sweatboxes such as London's Movida, all smooth, oily chests and grotesquely undone shirts. At a time of year when the mercury is touching nearly 30 degrees (with a little wishful thinking) and when socks really should be banned, it takes a certain youthful élan, a rebel aesthete, to get away with scuffed leather biker boots as heavy as monster truck tyres.

But there he is. Puss in Boots incarnate. On a hired bike, no less. Pinballing through the summer traffic, like some kind of pedal-powered punk rock cherub. Combined with his chopped, golden mane, a favourite trinket or two and a wobbly hand signal, actor Mr Campbell Bower - star of the Twilight franchise, Mr Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, and the last two installments of Harry Potter - can make even such an unseasonal footwear faux pas work in his favour.

Audio interview with Jackson Rathbone, Jerad Anderson, & Justin Lerner of “Girlfriend”

Girlfriend stars Evan Sneider (The Replacement Child), Shannon Woodward (The Haunting of Molly Hartley), Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga), and Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction). I first met Lerner and reviewed his short film The Replacement Child at the 2008 Santa Barbara Film Festival and had been eagerly awaiting this debut. It far exceeded my expectations. It's hard to watch at times but is one of those films that deserves the label "important." This movie about (and starring) a young man with Down's Syndrome has some scenes which may make audiences uncomfortable but, to me, that's one of the definitions of true art -- it moves you, makes you happy, sad, angry -- it affects you emotionally on a deeply personal level.

The band 100 Monkeys -- Jackson Rathbone, Jerad Anderson, M. Lawrence Abrams, Ben Johnson, and Ben Graupner -- wrote the original music featured in the film.

Now Girlfriend is having its well-deserved theatrical release. On Friday, July 15, 2011 I chatted with Jackson Rathbone and Jerad Anderson, actors/producers/composers of Girlfriend, on the morning of the film's New York opening. We also spoke about their band 100 Monkeys and Jackson's new life following his career-changing casting as Jasper Hale in The Twilight Saga. This was followed by an in-depth discussion with writer/director/producer Justin Lerner.

Leslie-Anne Huff mentions Jackson Rathbone in an interview

Leslie-Anne Huff is headed for the big screen playing a rodeo trick-rider in "Cowgirls 'N Angels", to be released in 2012.

In it she co-stars with veteran actor James Cromwell and Twilight's Jackson Rathbone.

(...)

YC: You're playing a rodeo trick rider in Cowgirls 'N Angels. Was it fun training for that role? And you worked with Twilight's Jackson Rathbone, right?

LH: Yes, it was awesome. I fell in love with horseback riding. And yes, I worked with Jackson in the movie. He's a lovely guy. He's fawned over by women worldwide, yet he is surprisingly self-deprecating, extremely sweet, really funny, completely approachable. He's also a musician so he had his guitar with him to entertain us with. I couldn't say enough good things about him, he's such a nice guy.

Exclusive Interview With Chaske Spencer: He promises Kristen Stewart really is a nice girl

Chaske Spencer is probably best known for playing the alpha wolf, Sam Uley, in the Twilight films and he's using that to do good.

Read our interview with Chaske's on-screen love interest Tinsel Korey (Emily)!

Despite being a part of one of the biggest franchises ever, the 36-year-old Native American actor is down-to-earth, friendly and actually spends a lot of his time doing charity work (and staying healthy). His latest project, "Let's Move! in Indian Country" helps to fight obesity on reservations by educating kids on being more active and eating right. He talked with Ology about the cause, his costars and what we can expect with Breaking Dawn.

Hi Chaske! Can you tell us about how you got involved with "Let's Move"?
My manager called and said they were doing "Let's Move for Indian Country" on reservations. And since I'm in Twilight and as a Native American actor in such a franchise like that, I like to use the spotlight to help out causes. So they called my manager, he gave me the info and I volunteered. I wanted to do this because teenage obesity is all over the country... and on reservations, it's just like any other place. It's the same thing. You know, help educate kids about what they put in their bodies when it comes to food and that exercise is very important, extremely important.

Did you experience any of these kinds of problems growing up?
It was really hard breaking those eating habits. And still is time to time. I don't cut myself off from carbs and sugars but I usually set a day aside where I can have those, but exercise is very important to me. So when I was a kid growing up, I was involved in sports and stuff, but there was always soda machines at our school. So I would have a Coke or a Pepsi or something. But my parents were pretty good about us eating right. I grew up in an age where we didn't have Nintendo. If it were around, it wasn't that big for me. I never owned any videogames. I wasn't inside my house a lot. I spent most of my time outdoors.

I know you had a vigorous exercise routine during Twilight. Now that filming is over, do you try to maintain that?
Yeah, just not so intensely. I do work out, but during those films, it was five days a week of intense training. Now I cut that back to probably three days a week. I gave up the cardio, but it's all diet as well. That's something I learned when I was getting in shape for The Twilight Saga was that it's 70 percent diet. It has a lot to do with what you eat. You can do thousands of crunches, but unless you're eating right, they're not going to show up on your body. But for me, I haven't hit the gym in probably about a month because I've been traveling a lot, but when I get home or I get to a place where I'm there for a period of time, I definitely find the nearest gym. But then again, I always go running. You don't need a gym to run, do pushups, situps or squats. So I've kept pretty fit.

New Interview With 100Monkeys

The 'Hundredth Monkey Effect,' a phenomenon discovered by Japanese scientists in 1952, is the idea that a learned behavior can be transferred from one group of monkeys to another group until an entire population has learned the specific skill -- and this is precisely what Los Angeles band 100 Monkeys preach about. With incredibly positive attitudes and keen acting abilities, the band strives to put a smile on your face at every show, and keep that smile with you for days afterward.

In conjunction with the release of their newest album 'Liquid Zoo,' 100 Monkeys have teamed up with House of Blues Entertainment for a 40-plus city US tour, opening in Cincinnati June 28 and including dates in Dallas, Anaheim, Detroit, Chicago and San Francisco.
