Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin Vogue Interview

Twilight's phenomenon Robert Pattinson and Lost's Emilie de Ravin drop the fangs and the fear in a new love story.

Ask Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin about shooting their new movie, Remember Me, and they instantly start talking about the throngs of Twilight fans and pushy paparazzi who swarmed around them as they filmed on the streets of New York.

"It was the most ridiculous experience," says Pattinson, flashing the sweet, shy smile those crowds hoped to see. "You're trying to stay in character and you're trying to walk down the street, but all those people keep reminding you that you're not this character, you're—"

"A show pony," cracks de Ravin, and the two burst into laughter.

Although this duo could hardly be more different—de Ravin, 28, boasts the easy physical confidence of a onetime ballerina, while the slouchy 23-year-old Pattinson is all self-effacing bemusement—their effortless rapport is the emotional anchor of Remember Me. Pattinson stars as Tyler Hawkins, an alienated and confused young man from a wealthy family—"It's not too Rebel Without a Cause," he jokes—who gets involved with Ally (de Ravin), the daughter of a cop who arrested him after a street fight. Where Twilight treats him as the object of desire, a role that requires as much posing as acting, this character-driven drama brings out his most emotionally complex performance so far. Whether Tyler's raging at his distant father, Charles (played by Pierce Brosnan), or charming Ally, he has a surprisingly deft comic touch; Pattinson is now the one doing the chasing.

"Rob and Emilie are gifted actors who really like each other," says Remember Me's director, Allen Coulter. "And the movie reveals them in a whole new way."

Which is precisely what both of them wanted—to show what they can do outside the juggernauts of Twilight and Lost.

Remember Me may well prove the big-screen breakthrough for de Ravin, an Australian still best known as the new mother, Claire, on Lost, a role that was often undemanding. "I was always holding the baby in every scene," she says, "while everybody else was going off shooting people." Here, she throws herself into the conflicted passions of Ally, a young woman who, eager to escape an adoring but overprotective father, struggles to break through her own veneer of toughness.

For his part, RPattz (as he's known to his teen worshippers) is eager to start playing complicated human beings and not just heartthrobby vampires. Not that he doesn't relish being Edward Cullen or feel loyal to his fans, but he still hasn't figured out how to cope with being an international icon in an era when it seems impossible to escape the public eye.

"Everybody knows where everybody is," he says. "The Twitter thing is unbelievable. I went out a couple of times with Pierce. He's totally recognizable, and he makes no effort to tone it down. Some people were glancing over at us in the restaurant, and he just went over and introduced himself. And it does work. It dissipates all the attention."

So, does Pattinson use this trick?

"Me?" he says, shaking those famously tousled locks, "I just crawl under the table."

Bella's Eclipse Photo

Kristen Stewart had a haircut for the 'Runaways', her recent film so how to recreate the Bella's look in Eclipse?
"To get that pigment out is going to be very difficult," admitted the Twilight Saga cast's colorist, Stuart Gavert, to Life & Style.
So, what's a stylist to do?
"I'd bleach her hair to remove the color, then condition it and match it to the weave she wears in the film."

Volvo Sales and Robert Pattinson

You already heard about how Robert Pattinson and The Twilight Saga: New Moon helped to boost sales of the XC60. Apparently, Pattinson (who portrays none other than "Edward Cullen," in the film series of course) and the film Twilight have helped to boost sales of the original film Volvo, the C30, too.

According to Chicago Business, several Volvo dealership owners have spoken out on the popularity of the cars utilized in the films.

One manager said that "After the movie launched, we saw this spike in C30 sales. We didn't know what had happened until we put two and two together." In that particular dealership's case, "The XC60," used in New Moon, "at $32,995, has not seen the same spike in sales as the C30, at $24,600."

Another dealer stated that he had patrons bringing their children to the lot to take photographs with their stock of the vehicles.

Others report a surge in sales for both the C30 and the XC60.

"We have seen an increase in interest in both vehicles by the youngest of drivers, teens and twentysomethings, and beyond."

Of course, if there is a bit of difference between the popularity of the vehicles, it might stem from the fact that the model used in New Moon was met, initially, with distaste from Twilight fans - both for the switch between films and for the fact that the car in New Moon was not "silver."

In the books - and most fans do want the films to resemble the books as much as possible - the car that Edward Cullen drove was a shiny, silver Volvo, and Stephenie Meyer painted a picture herself of what the car looked like in her mind when writing the series by putting a picture of it on her website and stating "Edward's Volvo [is] the silver S60R (and I've been assured that the "R" part is essential)." While neither of the cars used in the films were exactly what Meyer described, the one for Twilight was, at least, silver.

With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Edward's car will remain the same, the XC60, so (excepting the continued insurge of new Twilight fans) there probably won't be any distinguishable "spike" coming after Eclipse, though for Volvo to abandon its marketing of the car (having done the "What Drives Edward" campaign with New Moon) when the film is forthcoming would obviously be a big mistake.

I must admit after seeing the film I haven't noticed Volvo this much on the road and if it's the C30- definitely a head turner.

New Eclipse Pics

Seriously getting worried that there's no trailer yet for Eclipse.. it's just really weird. I hope they are not rushing things and mess the whole thing up.

sneaky fans

I stumbled upon an article on how Twilight fans were even sneakier than papparrazi. Apparently the kiss by Bella and Edward in the piazza in New Moon was seen in You Tube even before the first cut was made.

The Art Director of the Twilight Saga shared his experiences when Jacob Black's house was discovered.

I was a bit surprised when a woman pushing a baby carriage trundled up and said hello. “That’s for a movie, isn’t it?” she asked. ... As warmly as I could, I ducked; “Oh, you know, don’t you think someone could just get tired of green and decide to paint their place red?” She shot back, “Sure, but they wouldn’t keep painting over everything until it looked real old. It’s Jacob’s house isn’t it?” ... She contended that my evasiveness -- in contradiction to the evidence in the meadow -- made it very likely that she had discovered a major Vancouver location for New Moon. Jacob’s house was a key venue in Twilight Saga novels by Stephenie Meyer, but had not appeared in the first movie -- so this was a big find. The fan sites were electrified. The next day another fan ... posted a drive-by video of the location with her voiceover explanation of why this was surely Jacob’s place.

Even the professional paparazzi (hanging off freeway abutments and hiking over cliffs to get shots) couldn’t get imagery posted any faster than the uber tracker fan-base. Oceans were not even a deterrent. Late in the production, I was building a fountain and dressing a public piazza in Tuscany for our last week of shooting. The fan machine was so hungry and efficient that they shot and posted every step of our construction, paint and dressing progress in that piazza so that when the art department in Vancouver came to work each day, they could scrutinize stills and video on public blogs showing precisely what had been accomplished by wrap time in Italy a few hours earlier.


Obviously a new wave of instant media came to life. That's fan power for you.

Is it me or does Kris Stew speak exactly the same way as her character Bella? I don't know if that is good or not. But surely her gestures and mannerisms are very much the same. I'm not sure whether I want it a different way either. mmhh
