Rob talks to ‘The San Francisco Chronicle‘ about ‘New Moon’ and playing Salvador Dali. Here’s an excerpt on what he said about shooting ‘New Moon’ on the article:

“It’s strange because it already feels much more of a slick machine,” Pattinson says of the film, which is being directed by Chris Weitz. “The first one we had such a young cast. Everybody was friends. It was fun. There was nothing like what it is now. Now there are people waiting outside the hotels all the time. We have security. It’s crazy.”

His character, Edward, never ages, so he has to look like an undead teenager through the three sequels he’s contractually obligated to appear in.
“I think all of them will be done within a year and half,” he says. “The whole thing is about change and aging. So it would look ridiculous if I’m playing 17 when I look 35.”
Which is another way of saying that Pattinson is unconcerned about being locked into author Stephenie Meyer’s franchise in the same way that the Harry Potter cast has been in theirs. It won’t last that long.
