Chris Weitz talks about Robert plus new BtS Pic

A lot of fans say they like the movie more than the book, that New Moon was their least favorite book in the series.
New Moon takes a lot of time to read and you have a lot of time without Edward in the picture. And here in the compressed scenario of the movie, there is less time without RPatz. And the fact that Taylor [Lautner] does such a great job, to the reading audience who’s been very skeptical of him, here he is in the flesh, and it’s quite something.

It’s interesting then that you went forward with another book adaptation with another studio, considering how badly it went the last time.
I really liked the actors. I saw the first movie and I thought there was something special about Kristen [Stewart] , Rob [Pattinson], and Taylor. I liked the emotional tones to the book. It was stuff I knew how to do. I had this theory that if you stay true to the book, you would win. You would not only win with the fans, but other people will get what the fans care about. If the box office tells us anything, then it’s a win. It’s made more in its first day then the entire domestic run of Golden Compass. It’s extraordinary.

What were the highest and lowest points of making New Moon?
The lows had to be shooting at 5 a.m. in a forest and struggling to get certain shots so a sequence would string together properly. It was a very cold forest in British Columbia, and we knew we’d have another night shoot just like it the next day. The highs were the moments of real identification with the actors. With Taylor, the moments early on when he realized he was going to do it. That was very gratifying to me.

What about dealing with the paparazzi? Did you have any run-ins?
I did a bit of a Sean Penn at LAX. When we were leaving for the European tour. We had left from our L.A. press junket to go to LAX and someone nearly ran us off the road trying to get to one of the cars. We were followed by eight different vans and there was some really dangerous driving. And I understood for the first time how things happened to Princess Diana (I don’t think I’m Princess Diana), and I understood for the first time why celebrities lash out and what’s that about. My first thought upon getting out of the car was, “Who was that driver of the car?” I never found him, but I did lift someone by the hood. A photographer. He was in my way. They have a legal right to be there but they don’t have an ethical right, and he was obstructing my path, and there was someone else I threatened to knock their teeth out. It’s not like me but I felt very protective at that moment and very attacked. There is a huge difference between the attention of the paparazzi and the attention of the fans. The fans have been lovely. The paparazzi in my opinion are a very low form of primate.

Moviefone talks about Remember Me

Robert Pattinson's next non-vampire movie doesn't open for another four months but that didn't stop Summit Entertainment from riding on 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' buzz and releasing the trailer for his romantic drama 'Remember Me' a few days before the Nov. 20 release of the latest big screen offering from Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series.

The British heartthrob puts his charisma and good looks to use as a brooding, misunderstood rebel without much of a cause except to reconnect with his distant father (Pierce Brosnan) following a family tragedy, and, of course, to get the girl.

A sort of stylized modern update of 'Romeo & Juliet,' 'Remember Me' centers around Tyler (Pattinson) and Ally (played by 'Lost's' Emile de Ravin), two lost souls who try to heal their inner turmoil by delving into a wild and ready romance that's threatened by their respective domineering parents.

It's interesting to see Pattinson attempt to break away from his iconic 'Twilight' role by charging into a gritty, character-driven drama that looks to rely more on raw acting talent and explosive emotional scenes than it does special effects and morphing demons. However, the story's setups of doomed romance, family conflict and the fight for personal redemption is reminiscent of 'Twilight' -- and the fact that he's donned in flannel and leaves his trademark tresses perfectly sculpted ala Edward Cullen doesn't deter the comparison merely because he's mortal this time around.

What makes 'Remember Me' stand out on its own is the dramatic and stylish storytelling of director Allen Coulter, who has helmed episodes of 'The Sopranos' and 'Sex and the City' and clearly knows how to bring out the best in his cast. The various scenes showcasing Pattinson, de Ravin, Brosnan and Chris Cooper (as Ally's dad), prove it. The intensity of acting in the trailer, which features Pattinson effortlessly covering a variety of emotions, defines an actor coming of age whether Twihards are ready for it or not.

'Remember Me' comes across as a mature romantic drama that seems safe and simple enough for Pattinson's young fan base to embrace as their tastes mature along with their moviegoing discretion. And if not, they can always grab their 'Twilight' trinkets and get in line now for the June 30, 2010 premiere of 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'

Kristen Prout (Lucy in Eclipse) talks about Rob and Kristen

So 'New Moon' is breaking records today. Have you felt the mania yet, even though your film hasn't been released yet?

"For sure. I think the real point when I felt complete and utter mania, was when I showed up to the 'New Moon' premiere. And there were fans, this was on Monday, there were fans that had been there since Thursday, camping out in tents. You walk out onto the carpet and your heart just stops, because it's like winding all the way down the street. There are these people who are screaming and they're crying. And Rob (Pattinson) and Taylor (Lautner) and Kristin (Stewart) show up and people are just bawling their eyes out. And you're like, what is going on here? This movie hasn't even come out, but still, I had people just screaming and asking for my autograph. And I get recognized in stores. It just goes to show you that, it's not even out yet and people have done their research already, and you're like, oh my goodness! They're so obsessed!"

I hesitate to even ask this, but what do you think about all the buzz around whether or not Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple?

"Thank you so much for asking it that way. On the red carpet, you should have heard it. The questions that were being asked. But at the end of the day, it's funny. People want to believe that they are a couple so badly, because of the Bella and Edward storyline. It is what it is. When you're in the public eye, people tend to view you as your characters. But people just need to keep in mind that they're both people. And they both have their own dynamic that's completely separate from being a vampire and a human. [laughs] They're two actors...they work in the same industry. They have a lot in common to sort of talk about on set. They certainly get along very well. But the speculation about whether or not they're a couple, I mean, who can really say? It changes every day. The media's opinion on it. I don't know if at any one point it's accurate."

"I think they're handling it very well. They have a lot of fun with it. [laughs] At the end of the day you just have to focus on relationships and be able to laugh about stuff like that...they're very private people. They're extremely private people. And I mean, they'll do what they want and if they're not a couple, they're not a couple. They're just good friends. And if they are a couple, they make an amazing couple. At the end of the day, it is what it is."

Roberts Interview with 15 a 20

It’s almost 4:00 O’clock in the afternoon, and we’re in Cannes, France, one of the most important Film Festivals in the world, to which stars like Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Salma Hayek often attend… now also our dear Robert Pattinson. When he arrives for our interview he’s very kind and smiley, though a little nervous due to the fans who pass by to watch, or who have approached him. This guy really has his feet on the ground, and the compliments from so many gils haven’t changed the way he is. Good for him!

About his ghostly return…

Now that we’re settled, we start to chat, and the obvious question is: What will we see in New Moon?, considering Edward is not very much in it.
“I think you will be surprised. This movie is very different from Twilight. Visually, it’s very different: the first movie looked and felt like and indie movie, it had a low budget. New Moon is something larger, more polished, with a visual style that resembles oil paintings, and it’s very cool. You can definitely feel the masculine energy. There’s more special effects and action too.

He shares about his return to the saga: “I think I’m doing way better than I did in the first movie” (he laughs. He laughs a lot, actually) “I think, playing Edward gave me the opportunity to get better at my own work. Plus, the dramatic arch of the character gets more complicated. In the first movie he talks a lot about doing the right thing for Bella, but it’s now when he makes a drastic decision. He knows he’s making a big mistake, and he tries to make it up for it. Internally, he’s a very interesting character.”

As the interview gets a more serious tone, the giggles and laugh appear again as soon as we ask him if this movie is more about Jacob Black and the wolfpack. Jacob is the hero now: “Let’s say he is. That’s the way it was written in Stephenie’s novels”. And you’re not jealous? “No” he answers and starts cracking up, “the truth is, no; in fact I like that I’m a supporting role. When you don’t have the responsability of carrying the whole movie by yourself, the pressure is less, and that’s a relief. When we did Twilight I was very stressed out and nervous; now I finally enjoyed the filming of the movie and that was a great pleasure, because it was a stress-free environment. I could take a few days off and have a vacation, for instance, when we went to Italy.”

He believes his popularity will pass.

Without a doubt, life has changed too much for Rob since he took the role of Edward Cullen. The first time our magazine spoke with him he already had a lot of fans, and when he came to Mexico it was a total mad house, remember? Now that he’s a world star he lost his privacy. Has it been hard adapting to this new life? “I don’t know! I honestly don’t know!” he answers with absolute honesty “it’s about taking things as they come. There’s no point in struggling against everything that’s happening because it will still happen anyway. Even 3 months ago I still got a little paranoid with all the attention, but I’m more relaxed and peaceful now: it’s alright. I try to work as much as I can and trying to focus on the good things that have come out of this situation.
Having to deal with everyone wanting to approach you everywhere can be very irritating. They talk to you like they know you, many of them demand your attention, and if you don’t pay attention to them, they won’t leave you alone. But it’s a change in my life that I have to adapt to” he resigns himself, “that’s life, a series of ups and downs. I think one day they will stop paying attention to me, and I hope that happens”. Don’t count on that, Rob, sorry! (magazine’s words, not mine lol).

So you never wanted to have this many fans screaming for you? We ask curiously, as he laughs, embarrassed: “No, definitely not. I always wanted to be an actor and have some sort of recognition, but not a fame like this, I swear! I think all of this has got more to do with the Twilight saga than with me. Having fans screaming when they see me feels almost like a joke. It’ll pass, because these things are over sooner or later. The day will come when nobody is going to scream at the sight of me.”

A very busy vampire

“Before filming Twilight, I had already signed on for two movies that are yet to be filmed. Since the release of Twilight I’ve received many scripts, but I haven’t liked any of them as much as I liked the first scripts I accepted; plus, with the Twilight saga I’m committed for two years more.”

And Kristen?

Bringing up the topic of Kristen is not easy; in fact, we’re hoping we won’t get kicked out of the interview. Fortunately our question is done without further problems… It’s still gets Rob in trouble, who stutters. Oops! We made him nervous!
“Uh…well… she has gone exactly through the same thing I went through, so she understands me. Since the beginning we’ve been very good friends, and she’s an extraordinary person and the best actress I know, so I’ve always had a very special connection to her” he says.
Whether or not they’re dating, only they know. Time will tell.

Robert to be on New Moon DVD Commentary

After this weekend's record-shattering opening, "New Moon" is now officially the biggest film of 2009. In a few months, it will inevitably become one of the biggest DVD releases of 2010. So what can we expect from the "New Moon" DVD? Recently, we caught up with director Chris Weitz and got the scoop on the disc you'll soon want sitting next to "Twilight" on your shelf.

"There will be a commentary track," Weitz revealed, saying that he'll soon head into the recording booth with his three big stars, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. "It'll just be us riffing off each other in our intimate way," he grinned. "We kind of like each other, so that should be fun."

In addition, fans can look forward to picking up a copy of "Twilight in Forks,"snatched up by Summit in September. An insider told MTV recently that the film will not be re-edited but will hit DVD alongside "New Moon" with all-new packaging and artwork.

Judging by the insatiable appetite of Twilighters, they'll be filling DVD stores in the first quarter of 2010, eager to glimpse the deleted scenes Weitz plans to unveil for the first time.

"There will be probably about 20 minutes of deleted material," he explained, promising some meaty footage. "It really is good stuff and a bonus for the fans."

Among this bonus footage could be several moments MTV knows were shot but did not make the final "New Moon" cut, including:

» A scene with Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria driving to Forks in a car, snacking on a dead human. It was one of the final moments the actress filmed as the nomadic vampire.
» A scene with the human characters eating Burger King.
» Another scene with the humans, this time with Justin Chon and Michael Welch expressing jealousy over Edward's car.
» More scenes with the Volturi in Italy.
» An extended cut of the scene where Mike Newton quotes Shakespeare to Bella in the Forks High parking lot; in it, he does a Marlon Brando impersonation.
» Scenes alluding to the ongoing breakup between Newton and Anna Kendrick's Jessica.
the independently made documentary that teased fans with brief glimpses of its exploration into the real-life town that inspired Stephenie Meyer, only to be

"When I made the film, I wanted it to arrive at a certain kind of flow and cadence," Weitz said of why he had to leave so many scenes on the cutting-room floor but hopes to restore many for the DVD. "[They would have affected] how the movie worked, and they didn't completely fit. But there'll be some groovy stuff in [the DVD]."
