Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, in the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Robert Pattinson, wondering about what lies ahead after The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn are over and done with, told Nicole Evatt of the Associated Press that "if it suddenly dies down and suddenly no one is interested … yeah, it is worrying. It's scary to think that it all might just fundamentally stop after the Twilight thing's finished."
That shouldn't be happening any time soon. Upcoming Robert Pattinson releases includes Eclipse and Breaking Dawn (which may come out in two parts spread a year apart), in addition to the period drama Bel Ami, with Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci. Announced projects currently in pre-production are Water for Elephants, co-starring Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz, and Unbound Captives, with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman.
In the q&a, Pattinson, 23, goes on to explain that Remember Me, which he also executive produced (with Carol Cuddy), wasn't exactly made to distance himself from his role as the vampire Edward in the Twilight Saga movies, saying, "I just always liked the script." Pattinson adds that performing naked can be "quite liberating," that in fact dancing is scarier than nude scenes, and laments that he can no longer live in his old tiny London apartment.
Directed by Allen Coulter (of Hollywoodland) and written by Will Fetters (with some rewriting by Rachel Getting Married's Jenny Lumet), Remember Me is set in New York City, where Tyler (Pattinson), a rebellious but introverted young man, has a problematic relationship with his rich father (Pierce Brosnan). Tyler ends up developing a strong bond with a free-spirited classmate, Ally, (Emilie de Ravin), with whom he shares a history of family tragedy: Tyler’s brother killed himself; Ally watched her mother get killed. One problem is that Ally's father (Chris Cooper) isn't too crazy about Tyler.
Remember Me opens in the US on March 12. Kristen Stewart, Pattinson's Twilight Saga co-star and off-screen girlfriend if widespread rumors are to believed, was reportedly present at the film's New York premiere.
