James Mottram of The Independent recently interviewed Rob and it is one of the better ones I’ve read in quite some time.   Rob talks about his new found fame and the craziness that surrounds him as well as on Salvador Dali and his struggles.  I am always interested to hear what Rob thinks about these topics and he doesn’t disappoint:

on Dali:

“Just hyper-consciousness and stuff… I guess I do relate to that quite a lot,” he mumbles.   What I really related to is this idea of ambition. Just being so concerned about being the best and being known for being someone important… he keeps continually forgetting that it doesn’t really mean anything at all. And I always found that idea interesting. But I think Dali has a lot of shame – and I don’t really have that!”

on himself:

“You can never be known for what you want to be known for … People will know you for whatever they want to know you for.”  

So true Rob, so true.   It’s also hard to disagree with James’ final comment that “for a 22 year old, Rob is surprsingly perceptive”.  What’s not surprising is that he is so grounded and unaffected by the fame.  These characteristics are just two of the reasons why he has won himself a legion of admirers.  The quotes above, for me, are further proof of that.  Thanks to our affiliate Robsessed.  You can read the full interview here.

There is a rumour circulating that Summit Entertainment is presenting four new titles to buyers at Cannes this year including a romantic drama starring Rob.  I should point out that coincidentally Cannes starts on 13 May (an omen perhaps).  According to Screen Daily:

“Pattinson is starring in Remember Me which is shooting this summer in New York while the actor is between Twilight sequels New Moon, which wraps at the end of May, and Eclipse, which starts in August.

Allen Coulter, the award-winning TV director (The Sopranos, Damages) who made his feature debut with Hollywoodland in 2006, is directing the film and Nick Osborne and Trevor Engelson of Underground Films (License To Wed) are producing.

Summit co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger wouldn’t go into too much detail on the plot but described the film as this generation’s Love Story. A female lead is in the process of being cast, while Rachel Getting Married writer Jenny Lumet has finished the latest draft of the screenplay.”

Now even Rob is slightly perplexed as you can see – as this is sounding suspiciously like Memoirs, but only the name has been changed – same award winning director, producers and writer.   As I said, at the moment, its a rumour and there’s always the possibility that nothing will eventuate, but as soon as we find confirmation we will let you know.  It would be great to see Rob in something in addition to Twilight Saga.  Thanks to Everglow.

We really are being so spoilt lately with all these amazing outtakes. These photos come from the Twilight Cast’s Teen Vogue photoshoot from 2008. I have posted 5 of the 30 photos below.  To see the remainder of the photos please visit the source, MrPattinson.com

Here is what we’ve been waiting for, the ‘behind-the-scenes’ interview of Rob, Kristen & Taylor at ET.  I’m so pleased that the YouTube videos are good quality videos, especially since I don’t have FOXTEL at home. Anyway, here they are, part 1 and part 2 of the interview.

I’ve just realised how much I missed watching new interviews of Rob. We haven’t really heard much from him since the Oscars.

Since we’ve been getting an overwhelming amount of emails and comments on having a ‘Little Ashes’ movement in Australia, I’d like to let everyone know that Gozde from Robsessed is the person who started this movement.  She has done a marvelous job and it has been getting amazing responses in the US. The movement has been going on for a while and I think they’re at Day 17 now.

Goz has also posted a list for cinemas in Melbourne on her site:

1. The Astor Theatre – 1 Chapel Street St Kilda 03 9510 1414
2. Kino Dendy Cinemas – 45 Collins Street, Melbourne 03 9650 2100
3.The George Cinemas – 135 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda 03 9534 6922
4.Cinema Como – Corner Toorak Road and Chapel Street, South Yarra 03 9827 7533
5. Cinema Europa Jam Factory -1st Floor, 500 Chapel St, South Yarra 1300 555 400
6.Rivoli Cinemas – 200 Camberwell Road, East Hawthorn- 03 9882 1221
7.Cinema Nova – 380 Lygon Street, Carlton 03 9347 5331

We would really appreciate it, if anyone who is interested in being involved could contact Goz at robsessedpattinson@gmail.com or write a comment at ANY of the Little Ashes Movement posts at the Robsessed site (this is what she prefers). At this stage, she hasn’t got the lists of cinemas in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or any other cities you might want to see the film in.

Oh, and please note that the film already has a distributor, KOJO PICTURES. You might want to mention that when you contact the cinemas.

As well as on Robsessed, our site will also post any updates on cinema locations and if we’re getting positive responses from any of the Australian cinemas.

Thanks so much for your willingness to help! If we try hard, I’m sure that this beautiful movie would see the light of day at our cinemas.

Good morning everyone! Here are some HQ close up pictures of Rob as Art, thanks to our affiliate, Robsessed. If you are interested in buying the DVD on Amazon.UK, here are some extra information on what is included on the DVD, thanks to the HTB Promo Blitz.

• Extended Scenes (26 mins.)
• How to Make “How To Be” featurette (20 mins.)
• Audio commentary with director Oliver Irving, Mike Pearce (Nikki), Johnny White (Ronny) and Joe Hastings

And here are the pictures:

According to the episode of ET that has just aired on Channel 9, the exclusive coverage from the set of ‘New Moon’ will air on our screens tomorrow, Friday the 24th April at 3pm on Channel 9. I am sure by then we will have already seen the video on YouTube (I love YouTube) but I thought I would post these details in case anyone wanted to see this segment on their TV screen. I am really looking forward to seeing this coverage & am so excited for ‘New Moon’

I thought I would also include thanks to our affiliate ROBsessed, the teaser that I just saw on ET as there is a little bit more footage that hasn’t been seen in the other teasers.

Thanks to Radar Online we now have even more outtakes from the VMan photoshoot. I have to say this shoot would definitely be one of my most favourites. I am now going to be really greedy & say I hope there are even more of these to come!

Thanks also to pattinsonlife for the link.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard about this, but there is a ‘Little Ashes Movement’ in the US at the moment, where fans are emailing, calling and talking to their local cinemas about Little Ashes, asking them to show it. The Little Ashes Promo Blitz are asking all UK fans to do the same. At the moment, there  are about 7 theatres across the UK, showing this movie. If you live in the UK, and want to see Little Ashes at cinema near you, please click here and find out about the ‘Little Ashes Movement’.

What about Australian fans? So far, we know that the film already has a distributor here, Kojo Pictures. But there is no news on any cinema screening at all. They were saying that the film might go straight to DVD. Any of you interested in starting a ‘Little Ashes Movement’ here in Australia?

Kyle & Jackie O from Sydney’s 2Day FM spoke with Ashley Greene yesterday about her involvement in New Moon and also asked her to confirm whether all the casting rumours are true.  Kyle also asks Ashley what Rob Pattison (get it right Kyle) is really like and I think you will enjoy Ashley’s response.  Well Kyle – sorry to disappoint – there is nothing bad about Rob (not that we are biased).   Unfortunately the file is too big and won’t let me download – so you can listen to it here.
