Robert Pattinson, who plays the rebellious Tyler in the upcoming Remember Me, is interviewed at length at teenhollywood.com. Pattinson's most interesting remark was his answer to a question about how his work is perceived following the Twilight Saga movies.
"I think people do judge things differently after the Twilight films," he explains. "They view it differently but I mean there's nothing you can really do about that. I do take that into account more now than I used to. Doing the [Salvador] Dali thing (Little Ashes), when I was doing it, I didn't think anyone was ever going to see it. It's a very different place to be at when you think you're making a movie which nobody is going to see; you're not afraid to experiment with things." Indeed, Pattinson looks completely different as Salvador Dali in Little Ashes. [See Pattinson photos.]
Additionally, Pattinson discusses what it's like to work with older actors, how he enjoyed the fight scenes with Chris Cooper ("I was continually beaten up by him"), and the difficulties of playing someone being strangled ("I was experimenting with myself just before we shot it. I don't really know what the face is to represent being strangled").
Pattinson also says that "all of the projects I'm doing seem like little baby steps toward other things," even though Bel Ami, which he's currently filming with Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci, and Kristin Scott Thomas, is somewhat different than the rest. And adds that Pierce Brosnan's approach to his character — that of Tyler's father — "completely changed what Tyler's relationship is with him."
Remember Me opens on March 12.

I thought he was Brilliant as Dali. I saw some videos of the real Dali and I thought Rob did a great job. The spanish actor Beltran was great too. They complement each other beautifully. Can't wait to see Remember Me.
