Robert Pattinson Screen Idol Night Stalker
by Dave Calhoun

July 4th, 2009. Independence Day. Robert Pattinson is kicking back in the New York Hotel where he is staying all summer while making “a very, very low- key indie movie” in between filming the next two movies in the Twilight series. Only one has hit cinemas so far – there ‘s another in the can, and he shoots the third one this winter – but already this handsome, quietly spoken, 23- year- old Londoner is associated the world over with Edward Cullen, the teenage vampire at the heart of American author Stephenie Meyer’s wildly successful fantasy novels . He’s a pretty face at the heart of a phenomenon.

That’s why every time Pattinson steps in front of the camera for director Allan Coulter’s Remember Me, the smal1 film that he is shooting in Manhattan this summer, he can always spot a crowd out of the corner of his eye. A crowd of devotees. It doesn’t help that he is making most of this film outside on the streets of New York City. “Oh man, it’s completely crazy,” he says, half sighing, half laughing. “It’s strange that you are doing a little indie movie, a very subtle story, and you’ve got like 5,000 people watching you.”

There’s not even anything for them to see, he says. Nothing spectacular anyway. “You’re thinking that the whole crowd must be thinking: he’s doing nothing. It’s not a very operatic performance at all.” Doesn’t that attention send him crazy when he is trying to work? “It’s incredibly distracting,” he says reasonably. “It’s the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I don’t even know what I am thinking half the time. I’m just trying to stay calm.” ...

…He sounds amused and a little bemused by the whole thing. He also sounds relieved to be spending his summer playing something other than a vampire, albeit one in attractive, human form. In Remember Me he’s playing a regular, if slightly screwed up, guy – a 21-year-old NYU student looking for some direction in life. “I wanted to do something that wasn’t so stiff as Twilight”, he explains. “So much of that character is about restraint that it translates into everything else when you are acting. I just wanted to do something relaxed, which is definitely what this new film is. I’d never done a part that was a normal guy. I’ve always done some kind of period drama or supernatural thing.”
