Rob and Kristen Make Forbes' Hollywood's Top-Earning On-Screen Couples


Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

$1.1 billion

Romance movies always seem to work best when there is a huge obstacle keeping the couple apart. Few obstacles are bigger than the one separating Bella and Edward in the Twilight films: Namely that he's a vampire. The first two movies of the series have grossed $1.1 billion at the box office. The third installment, Eclipse, hits theaters at the end of June.

Moviefone's '10 Screen Couples We're Psyched to See in 2010' - Rob and Emilie are there

Yes, love is in the air this week and we at Moviefone are not immune to the charms (and, um, marketing) of Valentine's Day. In the spirit of romance, we've compiled a list of upcoming, first-time* screen couples we're really looking forward to, in movies that run the gamut from action-fantasy to romantic-comedy.

Whether these new -- onscreen anyway -- relationships work or not remains to be seen, but that just makes it all the more exciting.


Robert Pattinson & Emilie de Ravin
Starring In: 'Remember Me' (March 12)
Why We're Psyched: It may be difficult for hardcore Twihards to accept Edw... uh, Rob in a passionate relationship with anyone other than Kristen Stewart (who's currently busy with 'The Yellow Handkerchief' and 'The Runaways'), but the rest of us are psyched to see him paired with lovely Aussie de Ravin ('Lost,' 'Brick') -- and playing a mere mortal! -- in this drama about a rebellious New Yorker and the young woman who helps him overcome emotional scars from a family tragedy.

NEW Remember Me Stills







Rob and Emilie talk about 'Remember Me'


'The Twilight Saga' star Robert Pattinson gets romantic in his new movie 'Remember Me,' and he's talking to ET about his first impression of sexy co-star Emilie De Ravin!

"I was shooting the end of one of the 'Twilight' movies, 'New Moon,' in Italy and we were going through casting for ['Remember Me']," he explains. "The director said, 'I think I found this girl I think you'll find quite interesting,' and sent me this e-mail with her audition tape.

"My Internet connection was so slow that I could only get the beginning, which was her messing up for about 35 seconds," continues Robert. "She was really funny, you know, messing up and kind of quite charismatic -- but I didn't know that she was messing up at the time, I thought she was actually doing the scene and kind of just improvising with it and just making it up."

In theaters March 12, 'Remember Me' follows Robert as he struggles to win the attention and respect of his father (played by Pierce Brosnan) and falls headlong into a romantic affair with an extraordinary, eccentric girl, played by Emilie.

Tune into ET Wednesday night for a first-look clip from the movie!
