Dakota Fanning Talks 'New Moon,' Working With 'Very, Very Cute' Robert Pattinson
"The part that I play gets to interact with a lot of the characters, so that would be cool," Fanning added. "[The Volturi] are kind of mean. I think it would be definitely a different part than I've ever played — and I'd get to be a little evil for once."

The sexiest thing about Robert Pattinson? Guess!
This year's 'It Dude' Robert Pattinson finally confesses that he's actually a lot like his "Twilight" character, Edward Cullen.
But in a bad way.
Pattinson tells the Dish Rag: "I guess you never know what you have in your character before you do a job and what kind of comes out. I mean, I guess there are elements, a lot of self doubt. Probably all the negative elements. I don’t really have the positive elements, I am not very gentlemanly or anything, I am not very old-fashioned. I don’t have, yeah. I have the bad points."
And the sexiest thing about Edward?
"I learned that 95% of women in the world are attracted to guys who drive Volvos, which I had no idea about," he joked. "I never knew Volvos were such a sexy car. I would never have though. And people would like the fact that Edward drives a Volvo."
"It’s funny how like, I always used to wear a hat and I was in New York and I was doing press stuff and I had about 200 people, everything they were saying was ‘take your hat off’. I was like, it’s just really strange when people actually care about it whereas last year no-one would care if I was wearing a hat or not. It’s one the key things I have realized. That’s pretty much the only difference in my life is that someone tells me to take my hat off. Only my mother used to do that before."
You can leave your hat on, Rob. We don't mind.

Regent Takes Dali Biopic “Ashes” - IndieWIRE
The international sales rights to Paul Morrison’s “Little Ashes,” starring Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dali, have been acquired by Regent Worldwide Sales, the sales affiliate of Regent Entertainment. Regent Worldwide acquired the rights to film from British producers Aria Films and Met Film and their Spanish co-producer Factotum Barcelona SL, and will present “Little Ashes” to distributors for international sales as a market premiere at this year’s European Film Market in Berlin.
“Regent is proud to present this high-caliber film to international distributors this year at EFM,” said Mark Reinhart, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Distribution and Acquisitions for Regent in a statement. “‘Little Ashes’ story, beauty and the amazing chemistry between Beltran, Pattinson and McNulty make for an impressive trio that will touch the hearts of audiences around the world.”
“Little Ashes” takes place amidst the repression and political unrest in pre-Civil War Spain. Salvador Dali arrives at university, determined to become a great artist, but his “bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite” - Federico Garcia Lorca (Javier Beltran) and Luis Bunuel (Matthew McNulty).
“We are delighted to be extending our very successful working relationship with Regent, and to be represented by their excellent international sales team at EFM”, said producer Carlo Dusi, who negotiated the deal on behalf of Aria Films, Met Film and Factotum Barcelona, in a statement.
Regent Releasing, Worldwide’s sister company and a leading independent film distribution company, acquired the North American distribution rights to “Little Ashes” in February of 2008 and is slated to release the film in US theaters beginning March 27, 2009.
The acquisition deal for “Little Ashes” was negotiated between Mark Reinhart, in conjunction with Liz Mackiewicz and Adam Wright, co-presidents of Regent Worldwide, for Regent and Carlo Dusi of Aria Films Limited.
Regent Worldwide will be premiering the film at EFM on Friday, February 6th at 11:30AM in the CinemaxX Studio 18 and Tuesday, February 10th at 11AM in the Marriott 3.
Twilight Soundtrack still on the top 10 !!!
5. Various Artists, Twilight soundtrack, 33,000. The former #1 album inches up from #6 to #5. This is the album's 12th straight week in the top 10. That's the longest run in the top 10 for a theatrical movie soundtrack since 8 Mile had 14 weeks in the top 10 in 2002. That monster hit included four tracks by Eminem, including the Oscar-winning "Lose Yourself." Twilight beats two soundtracks that had 11 weeks in the winners' circle, Chicago and Juno. Paramore's "Decode," the big hit from Twilight, dips to #55 on Hot Digital Songs.

Rob: 'I Try to Ignore What People Say About Me'
Modest British heartthrob avoids believing his own hype
By TheImproper.com
Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson has become a huge star these days, thanks to the vampire romance's incredible popularity, but he remains level-headed by ignoring all the media hype surrounding him.
"I try to ignore what people say about me," says Rob, 22. "You tell yourself that everything you do is crap," he laughs.
Given the deafening fan hysteria he now inspires, ignoring the celebrity hype must be difficult. But it's something the modest Rob does because he's serious about being a good actor. "Acting is something I'm very serious about, and that’s why I chose it," he says.
Interestingly, the 6'1" British hunk jokes that he's sometimes embarrassed to admit he's an actor. "I’m still embarrassed to say I’m an actor because it's kinda cheesy, so I prefer to say I do something else," he laughs.
Pattinson can be seen next on the big screen in Little Ashes, where he plays the eccentric Spanish painter Salvador Dali. Rob, who really delved into Dali's neurotic character for the role, says acting is a creative release.
"I don’t like the word 'acting,' " says Pattinson. "I prefer the word 'creating,' because I want to build a character with an idea that turns into something that people will remember. In every job that I’ve done, I’ve put something of my life into it, I try to add my life into the movie. Every period of my life in which I’ve played a different character, I’ve been a different person."
Rob is a refreshing change from self-centered young Hollywood, not only because he's cute and talented, but also self-deprecating, laughing easily and often.
Interestingly, he admits that fan adoration can be intimidating. "The more people who tell you [how great you are], the bigger the need for you to prove it," he says.
"Besides, there’s always a bigger number of people who want to screw you over," says Pattinson. "It’s like everyone is saying how great you are even if you haven’t done anything."
Given Rob's talent and likeability, we're sure his star will continue to rise. Little Ashes opens March 27, while Twi sequel New Moon comes out Nov. 20.

Robert Pattinson Channels Artist Salvador Dalí - PEOPLE
Twilight star Robert Pattinson can't always play a vampire heartthrob.
In his next movie, Little Ashes, set in 1922 and described by Variety as an "arty Bohemian romp," the London-born actor, 22, plays Spanish surrealist painter (1904-1989) Salvador Dalí as a young man – in love with the poet Federico GarcÍa Lorca, played by Javier Beltran.
The two meet at university, with Lorca attracted to what the movie's production notes call Dalí's "bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism." Hey, beats a bite in the neck.
Little Ashes opens in late March. – Stephen M. Silverman

'Rob Pattinson Is Much Prettier Than I Am'
Twilight star Robert Pattinson is way more attractive to girls than Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. At least that's what Radcliffe, 19, says about his former Harry Potter co-star Rob, 22.
In 2005, Daniel worked with Pattinson when Rob played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. At the time, the self-deprecating Rob stated in several interviews that Radcliffe was cooler and more attractive to the opposite sex than he was.
"[Daniel Radcliffe is] just so far superior to me in terms of desirability," Pattinson said in 2005. "If I was Katie [Leung, who played Harry Potter's love interest Cho Chang in Goblet of Fire], I would definitely go out with [Daniel] because he's rich and famous, and I'm not really...I think Dan could steal anyone from me. If I were a girl, I'd pick Dan."
Recently, Radcliffe had the chance to respond to Rob's comments in this exchange from The Daily Beast:
Question: "Have you contacted your co-star Robert Pattinson to give him any advice about his own sudden fame because of the Twilight films? He was once quoted as saying that if given a choice between himself and you, that girls would choose you every time."
Daniel Radcliffe: "I don’t have his number, so haven’t spoken to him. But I can safely say that his insisting that girls would choose me over him that they would not. That they do not. He is much prettier and can be much more charming...And he can do that thing of being sultry and sexy...Rob can just sort of stand there and look at something and start to smolder. And I just can’t do that."
Rob also recently commended his former Harry Potter co-stars Daniel, Rupert Grint, 20, and Emma Watson, 18, for having turned out so well-adjusted despite the pressures of fame and overnight stardom.
"The Harry Potter people...are still very, very normal and sane," says Pattinson. "I think it's because they just ignored the surrealness of their lives from an outside perspective and live their lives normally. They didn't treat anyone any differently and didn't treat themselves differently. And they've ended up being completely fine."
Meanwhile, Rob—who has been relaxing in London since Dec. 22—will begin filming New Moon (the sequel to Twilight) in March. The movie will be shot back-to-back with Eclipse (2010), the third installment in the best-selling Twi book series.
New Moon comes out in November 2009.

MTV Staffers Unbox The Magical Edward Cullen Doll
To celebrate the arrival of the Edward Cullen doll to MTV News, I’ve decided to jot down the top 5 reasons we love this plastic version of the dreamy vampire.
1.) He looks so stylish wearing Edward’s trademark grey wool coat, dark denim jeans, and t-shirt.
2.) He came with shoes and socks, because we all know vampires and dolls need socks. But would Edward really need socks since he’s “cold” all the time doesn’t really sweat? Point to ponder.
3.) He would never go on a date with Barbie.
4.) He’d totally kick Ken’s ass in a fight.
5.) He resembles Robert Pattinson, and anything that resembles Robert Pattinson is going to be awesome.

Dakota Fanning Talks ‘New Moon’ Rumors - Access Hollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- January 24, 2009
Will Dakota Fanning play a pint-sized vampire in the “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon?” She’s crossing her fingers.
“I think it’s too soon to tell if I’ll for sure be doing it, but it’s so great,” she told Access Hollywood on Saturday at the junket for her latest film, “Push.” “I’m a really big fan of that series and the first film and all the actors in it, so it would be wonderful.”
E! Online’s Marc Malkin reported on Thursday that Dakota was currently negotiating for the role of Jane, a member of the deadly Volturi vampires from Italy, where much of “New Moon” takes place.
Following Malkin’s report, a rep for Summit Entertainment confirmed to Access there had been talks with the actress.
“We are considering all actors that have the unique requirements for the look of Jane — Dakota being one of them,” a rep for Summit told Access.
If she does get the part, Dakota said she won’t have to spend too much time in the makeup chair.
“I don’t think they’ll have to put a lot of makeup on me,” she joked. “I’m pretty white already.”
And the 14-year-old actress added that doing the film would give her a boost with her “Twilighter” pals.
“Pretty much all my friends are pretty big fans, so it would be great,” she said.
“Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will all be reprising their roles in “New Moon,” which goes into production in March.
“Push,” also a Summit Entertainment film, is due February 6.

PEOPLE's POLL: Who Should Play Alec in New Moon?
What do you think?
Clockwise from top left:
Tom Felton, Lucas Grabeel, Gaspard Ulliel and Freddie Highmore Photo by: Landov; INF; Flynet; Bauer-Griffin
With Dakota Fanning tapped for the role of Volturi vampire Jane in Twilight sequel New Moon, the casting of Alec, Jane's undead twin brother, is director Chris Weitz's next challenge.
Compared to Jane, "his hair was darker, and his lips were not as full, but he was just as lovely," writes author Stephenie Meyer of Alec in New Moon.
Possessing the ability to numb a victim's senses, quiet but deadly Alec could be well-played by Tom Felton, best known as Harry Potter's foe Draco Malfoy. Some other suggestions? High School Musical's Lucas Grabeel could follow his serious turn in Milk with an even darker one as the bloodsucker. And French actor Gaspard Ulliel of Hannibal Rising would bring a terrifying pedigree to the character, while Freddie Highmore, who sweetly stole scenes in Willy Wonka and Finding Neverland, could bring out his bad side.
As two of the Volturi's highest-ranking guards, Alec and Jane are fearsome foes of immortal Edward and his human love Bella, to be played again in New Moon by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Which rising star do you think can best embody the evil Alec?

'Twilight': If Dakota Fanning is Jane, who should be Alec? - EW.com
Jan 22, 2009, 04:42 PM by Mandi Bierly
With news that Dakota Fanning will meet with New Moon director Chris Weitz next week to formally discuss her being offered the role of vampire Jane in the Twilight sequel, 
it's time for us to help Weitz find his Alec, Jane's bloodsucker brother. According to the books, Alec is a pale boy (surprise) who could be Jane's twin. "His hair was darker, and his lips were not as full, but he was just as lovely," Stephenie Meyer writes in New Moon. Elijah Wood is a popular suggestion, since Jane and Alec are small in stature, but I doubt that the man who starred in the Lord of the Rings trilogy would want to be backburner in a Twilight sequel. Then again, if Weitz (or the director of any future Twilight sequels) wanted to go off-book and flesh out the fascinating Volturi and their guard with Meyer's approval, I don't think anyone would mind. (Right?) Also, what is Elijah Wood doing these days?
Assuming Wood is out, I submit High School Musical's Lucas Grabeel (pictured) for consideration. He might be a bit too tall to pair with Fanning, but they could always have him stand/walk in a shallow hole/trench. (Really, he's not going to be onscreen that long for it to become a huge inconvenience.) To me, Grabeel's face is angelic, but also blank -- perfect for a character who is able to cut off all your senses and make you feel absolutely nothing. Together, he and Fanning (character gift: to bring the pain) would be appropriately off-putting. Plus, they'd look so cute together.
Who's your pick for Alec? And are you hoping Fanning's meeting with Weitz goes well?

Robert Pattinson - Hellomagazine Quiz
How much do you know about the young British actor
who's role in vampire flick Twilight has made him a Hollywood heart-throb?
8 Things That Are Bugging Me About Robert Pattinson
Love You Rob!
Robert Pattinson this, Robert Pattinson that. You can't leave your house anymore without being assaulted by Robert Pattinson. The name haunts me worse than any tween vampire ever could. Robert Pattinson is all anyone cares about. He's like Brangelina, only stronger, because there's only one of him. That's right. Robert Pattinson is a Hollywood Power Couple all by himself. Let me articulate what's getting on my nerves about Robert Pattinson.
8) Nobody is this humble! This guy has to have an ego or he wouldn't even be able to leave the house in the morning. Personally, I know people who work the graveyard shift at the local gas station and think they're something special. Here's a guy in one of the hottest movies around and he refuses to talk himself up.
7) He doesn't have a girlfriend. He's 22 and he's not tied into a relationship. He doesn't have a ball or a chain he has to answer to at the end of a long day of filming. What nerve.
6) He's nice to fans. This guy is nice to his fans, a rare trait if ever there was one. I prefer surly, anti-social celebrities. They're easier to hate on.
5) He's had it too easy in Hollywood. Where's all the "paying of dues" actors need to go through in order to become this famous? Pattinson just walked into Tinsel Town one day and they handed him the keys to the place.
4) He doesn't get involved in unnecessary drama. He has no bitter custody case going on. He isn't under arrest for DUI. Compared to Shia LaBeouf this cat is unnatural.
3) Girls love him just a bit too much. RPattz is to girls what spinach was to Popeye. Women go crazy at the sight of Big Rob.
2) He's not going away any time soon. Right now Pattinson can do no wrong. Everybody wants him in their next movie so he can afford to be selective and choose whatever project he wants. We'll all have to deal with him for years!
1) His new haircut. He's supposed to have long vampire hair. Now he looks like a Young Republican.
I know some of you will say "You live in a Free World, if you choose to, you can ignore Robert Pattinson." Uh, no I can't. It's not in the cards. Sure I'd love to be a Robert Pattinson hater, but it just doesn't seem to be in the cards.
So far the guy has managed to keep his overall image so positive, there aren't any chinks in his armor.
So far.

New Moon Casting Scoop! Dakota Fanning as Jane? - E! Online
OMG !I personally would LOVE to see Dakota as Jane, what do you think?
Today 7:54 PM PST by Marc Malkin
Dakota Fanning...with fangs?
It's possible. I can exclusively report that the 14-year-old child star—she turns 15 on Feb. 23—is in talks to play Jane opposite Robert Pattinson & Co. in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to box office megahit Twilight.
“There were no auditions,” a source reveals. “They just offered it to her outright, and now they’re in negotiations. They’ve been going back and forth.”
Jane is a member of Italy’s Volturi, the most deadly group of bloodsucking killers in author Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series.
In the casting notice we got our hands on earlier this month, Jane is described as a petite blonde with a “Botticelli angel-like face…[and] crimson irises.” While fellow Volturi guards Demetri & Felix “are three times the size of her, they are terrified of her,” the casting notice reads.
Coincidentally (or maybe not), an online petition started by a Twilight fan already asks the studio, Summit Entertainment, to cast Fanning because she would be “perfect” for the role.
Early last month, Entertainment Weekly suggested Pushing Daisies star and Broadway diva Kristin Chenoweth. “Her voice is certainly high enough, and at 4'11'', she's also short enough,” writer Amy Wilkinson proposed.
Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting New Moon in March in the U.S. and Italy. If all goes as planned, the movie will hit theaters on Nov. 20.
Is Fanning right for Jane? We’re sure Twilight fans have plenty to say about it.

Move over, movie vampires: Werewolf pack is back - USA Today
"Both vampires and werewolves are animalistic, but vampires put up a good front," says horror movie historian David J. Skal. "Werewolves are more direct. It is a beast let loose with no attempts at a smarmy Transylvanian accent or drawing-room banter. Werewolves have always been favorites of adolescent boys. They are the personification of a coming-of-age ritual."
There must be a full moon
New Moon, due Nov. 20 and based on the second volume of the Twilight saga, expands upon a supernatural love triangle. While vampire Edward (Rob Pattinson) runs away to Italy to keep his mortal teen queen Bella (Kristen Stewart) out of danger from others of his kind, she makes time with the less-complicated Jacob (Taylor Lautner) as he finally reveals his hairier, scarier side.
Director Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) picks up where Twilight's Catherine Hardwicke left off on the production that starts shooting March 23. One of his first tasks on the sequel was deciding to keep Lautner, whose gangly Native American high-schooler in the first film transforms into a hulking giant over the course of the book series as he fulfills his tribe's destiny.
"Taylor is a formidable guy, kind of a great tool in the toolbox," Weitz says of the nearly 17-year-old actor who has been working out daily and has packed on 29 pounds, most of it muscle. "In the first movie, we did not see or recognize how dangerous a character he could be."
As for Taylor himself, "he can kill me with his left pinky. But he is too nice to do that. There is something compelling and sexy about him. He captures the spirit of Jacob."
Grounded in 'real world'
The backdrop of the Twilight books might be a gothic fantasy, but the filmmaker sees his characters as expressions of emotional attitudes shared by young people. "One of the great things of Stephenie Meyer's novels is that she keeps them very grounded in the real world," Weitz says.
"The vampires are about distance and reserve," he says about the contrast between his male leads. "Edward represses his desire to do harm. Jacob is very warm and emotional, but also feels the heat of anger. When he transforms, it's like losing your temper — sudden, explosive and lightning-quick."
Where Bella is concerned, he adds, "Edward represents the unattainable perfection of first love. Jacob is friendship."

Robert Pattinson Most Attractive Man of 2008
The race for the Most Attractive Man title turned up two frontrunners as dishy Doctor Who David Tennant and rising star Robert Pattinson went neck and neck all the way. As the male pole closed over 395,000 votes had been cast, with the Twilight star emerging as the winner with 39 per cent - a lead of only one per cent.
Online readers appreciate Robert's mysterious charm it seems, placing him first in the Most Attractive Man poll. It was a close-run race, though, with Dr Who's David Tennant lagging just one per cent behind the Twilight star.

Edi Gathegi talks “New Moon”
Edi Gathegi played Laurent in “Twilight” and will again in “New Moon.” (Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen, is in the background.)
Edi Gathegi, who played nomadic vampire Laurent in “Twilight” and is set to reprise the role in “New Moon,” talked about the sequel, which is set to start filming in a few weeks, to MTV.com.
Gathegi, who also stars in the new horror film “My Bloody Valentine 3-D,” talked specifically about fan-made YouTube videos elaborating on his character’s path; casting for the role of Irina, the Alaskan vampire whose relationship with Laurent has wide-ranging consequences; and the hard work Taylor Lautner is putting in to play Jacob Black.
Summit Entertainment and “Twilight” saga author Stephenie Meyer recently announced that Lautner will once again play Jacob, BFF of heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who in “New Moon” begins transforming into a vampire. As Jacob taps into his inner wolf, he grows to hulking size, and Lautner has been putting on muscle to play the part in the sequel.
“We’ve worked out in every city on our tour,” Gathegi said of Lautner. “If you see him, you’ll know immediately. This kid is so strong right now, it is unreal. He has achieved with his body what people with steroids cannot achieve. The only way I can describe it is that God has given him this time for this growth spurt and this body right now.”
Gathegi, Lautner and Rachelle Lefevre, who plays bad vampire Victoria, did roundtable interviews together at the Los Angeles “Twilight” junket, which I attended. They also did an autograph tour together and clearly shared an easy camaraderie.
“It’s a ‘Twilight’ family. We were together for press junkets and tours, and this has been eight months together, ever since we shot in March. We’ve just been with each other constantly. And then we’re going to go into the next one, and then they’re going to do [parts] three and four, God willing. These are, like, lifelong friends at this point,” Gathegi told MTV.com.
Gathegi also said he’s looking forward to meeting “New Moon” director Chris Weitz and his character’s turning into a full-blown bad guy.
“I like the transition from being conscious and compassionate, to (’New Moon’ when Laurent realizes) that’s too difficult. I’ve got to be a vampire,” he told MTV.com.
Is This Rob Pattinson Facebook Page a Fake? - E News
A Facebook page owned by a "Rob T Pattz" who hits on every chick who passes through, and that supposedly represents one of the most hotly desired actors on earth? And you thought it might be fake? Gee, what gave it away?
As you've already deduced, I can guarantee, 200 percent, that the page is fake. In fact, I can guarantee that every single Rob Pattinson profile is also a fake.
How? Well...
...because I called Pattinson's manager today, and the person who picked up the phone told me that the actor—who, to be fair, possesses many other impressive communication tools, including hair that can pick up radio waves from Neptune—is not on Facebook. At all.
Robert Pattinson 'Not Afraid of Anything Anymore' - AceShobiz
"Twilight" leading actor Robert Pattinson has been quoted as stating, "I'm not afraid of anything anymore." Explaining on his statement, he reveals, "You know, I've failed at so many things in my life ..... So now I'm like, 'If it crashes, it crashes. Who cares?'" He shared further, "I modeled when I was a teenager. In that job, you learn to take rejection in stride."
Previously, Robert told British magazine Closer that before becoming an actor he used to be a model from the age of 12. Unfortunately, he lost the job when he was 16 years old because he started to look too manly.
"When I first started I was quite tall and looked like a girl, so I got lots of jobs, because it was during that period where the androgynous look was cool," so he told the publication. "Then, I guess, I became too much of a guy, so I never got any more jobs. I had the most unsuccessful modeling career." (Continues here)

As Twilight's Bella Swan–the love of hunky vampire Edward Cullen's immortal life–Kristen Stewart went from indie ingénue to blockbuster franchise lead.Before entering the Twilight zone, Stewart shared the screen with such film vets as Jodie Foster (Panic Room) and Meg Ryan (In the Land of Women), and gained critical acclaim for her minor role in 2007's Into the Wild. But it wasn't until she toyed with vampires and werewolves in a world created by author Stephenie Meyer that her star ascended worldwide.
Despite being at the center of every "Twilighter's" obsession (with costar Robert Pattinson), the angsty actress pulled a post-Titanic Kate Winslet move, announcing a gritty role as a stripper in Welcome to the Rileys. (Check it out)

Move over Zac Efron! British import Robert Pattinson has arrived, and the reaction is Beatles-like. With his signature tousled mop and brooding stare, Hollywood's newest heartthrob has tongues wagging, mobs stalking, and tweens begging.
Pattinson first made his mark on American audiences as hunky Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But his casting as Edward Cullen, the beautiful vampire at the center of the best-selling Twilight Saga, has turned the man dubbed R.Pattz into the apple of every teen girl's eye.
Twilight's record-breaking opening has paved the way for more sequels for Pattinson and costar Kristen Stewart. But before he makes his immortal return, Pattinson will display his acting chops as Salvador Dalí in the indie drama Little Ashes. (Check it out here)

Robert Pattinson: 'I Want to Have Fun'
British actor insists he's nothing like the somber Edward Cullen
Fans of Twilight star Robert Pattinson often mistake him for Edward Cullen, the alluring vampire he plays in the blockbuster film. But Rob, 22, insists he's nothing like the brooding Edward.
"I’m not stiff as Edward. I want to have fun," says Pattinson. "He's this 108-year-old adult [trapped inside a 17-year-old body], but I’m still a 6-year-old boy [at heart]," he laughs.
Rob's moving portrayal of the introspective, lovelorn vampire has won him millions of admirers around the world. But Pattinson—who says he's unattached—finds the hysteria inconvenient.
"I don’t like going outside anymore," he jokes. "It’s so embarrassing to see pictures of yourself at the airport when you look terrible." Indeed, Rob—now a major paparazzi target—gets photographed wherever he goes.

They make girls swoon and hearts beat faster. They're the guys that girls hang posters of on their bedroom walls. Whether they star in movies, make music or do a little bit of both, these guys aren't going anywhere in 2009. In fact, girls wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they did. Quite frankly, they are as nice to look at as they are talented in their various jobs.
These are MTV News' Pop Week Male MVPs, and here's what 2009 will bring for them.
Robert Pattinson
After making millions of girls want to have a vampire love affair in Twilight, English heartthrob Robert Pattinson will reprise his role as Edward Cullen in this year's New Moon. But he also hopes to wow audiences as the young surrealist painter Salvador Dalí in the film Little Ashes, which chronicles the early life of the brilliant artist and explores his romantic relationship with poet Federico García Lorca, played by Javier Beltran.

One Twilighter’s 2009 Wish List For Robert Pattinson
Published by Laura Culpepperon Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 1:01 pm.
....
Even though it doesn’t sound like we’ll be seeing much but Edward Cullen for a while, I believe he is going to have great success as an actor once “Twilight” is over. In reality, Rob is nothing like Edward Cullen. Anyone who has met him or seen him in an interview knows that he is really just a big ball of goofiness and sarcasm. He’s nice to everyone and still doesn’t understand why people like him so much. That’s exactly why I think he is so talented. To be able to change yourself into a completely different mind-set takes a very special person, and Rob is definitely one of those people.
Personally, my fangirl self would love to see him in a true “bad guy” role. I think he has real potential to be believably scary and yet endearing at the same time (think Spike from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”). On the flip side, he would rock as a nerd.
And finally, there’s his music. I think we are all hoping for an album from him eventually, even though to this point he hasn’t expressed much interest in making one. Regardless, the future is very bright for Rob, and judging by all his previous projects, we have great things to look forward to....

28 Reasons Why Twilight The Movie MAY BE Better Than The Book
We're sure plenty of superfans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series will complain loudly about the movie adaptation of the first book, Twilight, after they leave tonight's midnight screenings. They won't like the casting, or they'll be upset the filmmakers left out their favorite line, or they'll think the sparkle effect looked stupid.But let us disagree in advance. As far as we're concerned, Catherine Hardwicke's movie of Twilight does what most movie adaptations can't: It dramatically improves the book it's based on. It's more exciting, it's more fun, and — most important — it's way less annoying than Meyer's gazillion-selling blockbuster. (The sparkle effect, though, did look better in our imagination.)
How can you say such a thing? indignant Twilight fans will howl. Let us count the ways, in our spoiler-filled See slideshow. or (Read 28 points here)

Q&A: Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger
By Matthew Belloni and Stephen Galloway
Jan 13, 2009, 10:02 PM ET
The Hollywood Reporter: How has "Twilight" changed the company?
Rob Friedman: Well, people are smiling a lot more than they were before.
Patrick Wachsberger: There definitely is a change. First, it's fantastic for all our troops.
Second, it's fantastic financially. Third, I honestly believe that we made no mistakes; I don't believe that any studio could've done a better job. But I do not feel there has been any envy or jealousy -- everybody has been looking at it as a piece of good news in a really dark time. Yes, there's hope. There's hope in the banking community, there's hope for independent producers and other studios that it can happen to them on a low-budget movie with no stars. Things have also changed from the point of the view of the agencies as well. It's like, "Wow, look at this little movie coming out of nowhere, handled by this new studio. They really proved that they can basically do (major studios) good or better."
THR: Despite the success, you're going in a bit of a different creative direction with Chris Weitz directing "New Moon," the sequel.
Patrick Wachsberger: If you look at "Harry Potter" -- or other movies sort of like "Harry Potter," I shouldn't compare -- but they change director every movie. The second book is slightly different. (There are) new characters and more visual effects. Catherine (Hardwicke) did a fantastic job (on "Twilight"), and there is a naturalistic feel to the movie that she created and we're going to keep. The first movie was very good, and we hope the second movie (will) be even better.
THR: What happened with Catherine?
Friedman: Basically, we had a different vision of what the movie should be, and we decided that the best course of action was to part (ways as) friends. She has done a fantastic job with "Twilight" and continues to promote it. She's still working with us on the movie -- the DVD, she's doing her director's cut. We just agreed that we had a different vision.

Robert Pattinson: 'I Couldn't Live Without Music'
Twilight star Robert Pattinson has become an overnight celebrity since starring as the alluring Edward Cullen in the hit vampire romance. Adding to Rob's own mystique is the fact that the actor has not been seen publicly since Dec. 22, when he landed at London's Heathrow Airport for the Christmas holidays. But this has had no effect on Pattinson's skyrocketing star status.
Fortunately for Rob's fans, international media interviews have recently been released providing some interesting insights into the British heartthrob's introspective personality.
In a new interview with Quebec's Le Samedi magazine, Pattinson, 22, discusses what drew him to the Edward Cullen character, what he finds appealing in the opposite sex and his enduring love of music.
[Editor's note: Samedi doesn't have a website, so we were unable to link to the interview, which is in French; we have translated some key excerpts and pasted a partial scan below.]
Pattinson, who sounds like a bit of a contrarian, says he was drawn to Edward because of the brooding vampire's fringe status. "Outsiders are always seductive, or at least fascinating," he says. "You can see why they're alone and can't integrate themselves into groups."
[Editor's note: Check out this video tribute to Rob featuring the hit Disturbia by Rihanna.]
Ironically, Twi--which began as a teen cult phenomenon--has mushroomed into full-blown mainstream popularity. So far, the tiny indie flick has grossed an astonishing $284 million worldwide since its Nov. 21 U.S. release. A sequel, New Moon (2009), will begin shooting in March, and will be filmed back-to-back with Eclipse (2010), the third installment in the best-selling Twilight book series.

As we previously reported, the self-deprecating Pattinson was initially intimidated by the idea of playing Edward, who is described as unspeakably beautiful--an Adonis.
"I really liked Edward's demeanor and personality but I asked myself if I was indeed the right actor for the role," Rob recounts. "He is described as being a rare beauty, and that's not what I see in my mirror every morning."

Rob Pattinson: 'Twilight Shows Love Conquers All'
Twilight star Robert Pattinson says the message behind the hit vampire romance is that love does indeed conquer all.
"It's a love story that shows that nothing is impossible," Pattinson told Colombia's Tu magazine in a new interview. "If you really love someone, you can overcome any obstacle."
[Editor's note: Tu magazine does not have a website, so we were unable to link to the interview, which is also entirely in Spanish.]
Pattinson, 22, is a hot commodity these days, thanks to Twi's monster box-office success. So far, the film has grossed an astonishing $282 million worldwide since its Nov. 21 U.S. release. A sequel, New Moon (2009), will begin shooting in March, and will be filmed back-to-back with its sequel, Eclipse (2010).
Despite the deafening buzz surrounding the Twi machine, Rob has not been seen publicly since Dec. 22, when he jetted home to London to spend the Christmas holidays with his family. Pattinson, who previously starred as Cedric Diggory in the 2005 blockbuster Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was an unknown before Twi mania catapulted him to overnight sensation. Now, the handsome 6'1" British hunk can't go anywhere without attracting swarms of paparazzi and screaming fans. (continues on...)
