We were hoping we would wake up this morning to a few photos of Rob as Tyler (and secretly that the TomStu confirmation was coming), but hey we can’t complain, there’s no TomStu as Aiden, but we definitely have some great photos of Tyler!  Enjoy and thanks to our affiliate ROBsessed.

According to Variety, Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan & Chris Cooper are set to join Rob in his upcoming film ‘Remember Me’

Taken from their article:

Summit Entertainment has set Emilie de Ravin (“Lost”), Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper to star alongside Robert Pattinson in “Remember Me,” the Allen Coulter-directed drama that begins production in New York on June 15.

So now we have the answer to our question as to who will be playing the role of the leading lady. I have not seen much of Emilie  apart from her role in the Television series Roswell (which was a huge favourite of mine) & also Lost, but from what I have seen of her work, I think she is a great choice for the female lead.  I am really looking forward to seeing Rob in this role & am very excited about the film. It sounds like a really great story.

I came across this little article in Variety dated 19 May that basically gives us a tiny bit more information on some of the roles Rob has planned in the next few months.  As at that date, the female lead for Remember Me was yet to be cast.  Rob is quoted as saying:  “The girl needs to be literally inspirational,” said Pattinson of a catalytical element of the film. …  “I have no qualms saying that she’s a genius,” Pattinson laughed, adding that the script really connected with him when he first read it — even some of the dialogue sounded “the way I speak.”

Considering Remember Me is suppose to start shooting in 4 to 5 weeks, Emmy Rossum must be feeling a little miffed that perhaps she’s not confirmed for the role (hell who wouldn’t be).  I wonder though if she was ever seriously in contention or perhaps they are just trying to throw us off – who knows, but they are seriously starting to run out of time.  Oh and another good thing about this article, Hoyts have picked up the film for Australia – they better not do a Kojo Pictures on us or there will be trouble.  You can read the full article here.

While looking on the Summit Entertainment website, I was very excited to find this little teaser poster for Rob’s upcoming film ‘Remember Me’

I am really looking forward to this film & seeing Rob in the role of Tyler. Once again I say, February why are you so so far away lol.  I know I seem to be wishing the months away a lot lately but you can’t blame me right?!

If you’re interested to hear more about Rob’s role in ‘Remember Me’ you HAVE TO read this interview from Risky Biz. Here, he talked ‘in-depth’ about his role in the movie, meeting with Jenny Lumet (the screenwriter) and why he chose to be involved in the project. He also talked about this role in ‘Unbound Captives’ and what it’d be like to play a Comanche. Oh, and of course – he also confirmed that ‘Breaking Dawn’ is going to be made into a movie (hmm…I’m not commenting to that).

Here’s a snippet of the interview:

HR: How did “Remember Me” come about?

Pattinson: I read the script last summer and then met with (director) Allen Coulter and really liked it. It’s quite a simple story but there was something about the character and way he spoke that was very similar to the way I speak. There is a naturalism to the writing and I really felt a connection to it.

THR: What’s the script about?

Pattinson: I read somewhere it was being described as the modern day “Love Story.” It isn’t anything like “Love Story.” It (“Remember Me”) is really hard to describe. It about a 23-year-old guy and knowing someone for six weeks. You don’t just fall in love and say, I’m in love, after six weeks. It’s really a relationship story. It’s very natural and the characters are incredibly real and well scripted. It’s one of the few scripts I’ve read where you finish and realize you didn’t really want it to end. I have no qualms in saying that (writer) Jenny (Lumet) is a genius.

Summit Entertainment have been very sneaky (yes Rob they have). “Remember Me” has been added to In Production and slotted in between The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Furry Vengeance.  The best thing about this sneaky little move is that it confirms the release date as February 12, 2010 and not 2011.  If you want further proof (in case you think I’m teasing) click on the link.  That means New Moon in November, Remember Me in February and Eclipse in June.  Well if you don’t see any posts from me after November, it’s because I’ll be permanently camped out at the cinema watching Eddie, then Tyler, then Eddie again and again (Rob you can stop giving that look – you know it’s going to happen).
