With 3 out of 4 책 of The Twilight Saga already on the big-screen, Robert Pattinson is all about Breaking Dawn talk these days. In this interview Rob lays it all out for us. He talks of the Eclipse set atmosphere, Stephenie Meyer, and his anxiety of this saga coming to an end.
What are 당신 looking 앞으로 to about “Breaking Dawn” being shot back-to-back as two films and of Bill Condon directing them?
I’m glad that it’s Bill Condon. I 사랑 his stuff. I haven’t seen the script yet but I am fearful about the series’ end. It’s such a great security blanket. It’s like a net. 당신 can afford to make mistakes when 당신 have another “Twilight” film to make. After that, I guess you’re on your own.
I’m glad the “Breaking Dawn” films will be done together. Because otherwise, it’s quite hard to fit another film in-between each one. Like what happened in “Eclipse”—having to get your mind back to where it was before. I had about a week of preparation time. It was quite stressful in the beginning. With the two films done together, 당신 can just stay in character the whole time.
In the tent scene which is already the much talked-about thing in “Eclipse,” your vampire character is of course cold, body temperature wise, while Taylor’s Jacob drives 집 the point that he’s literally hotter.
It’s sort of an odd scene. It’s quite difficult. It’s incredibly depressing for Edward (laughing). It does make him seem incredibly unattractive. But I never really got it in the first place. It’s like having some freezing cold person 다음 to 당신 (laughing). It’s horrible.
Taylor told us that 당신 were always cracking up in that scene.
I was in a very strange room when we were shooting that scene (laughing). I kept getting obsessed with the idea of the word “thoughts” with an American accent. It sounds like “farts.” I couldn’t get over it the entire day. The opening line was, “Can 당신 at least keep your thoughts to yourself?” I’m sitting in this tent and every single time, I laugh over that line. Taylor got to the point where he was like, “Those words don’t even sound the same. It’s not funny at all.”
I think I was tired. I find all this stuff where we have to boss each other all quite funny. Considering that we’re in teen-girl magazines and stuff … Taylor always has his 셔츠 off. And I’ve got my little quaff (laughing). We’re trying to act all macho. I thought it was really funny.
Talk about the dynamics between the three of 당신 now that Jacob gets to 키스 Bella in this movie.
It’s weird. Not only do they do the 키싱 scenes—they never do it when I am even on the set. I have the 일 off. 당신 genuinely feel like someone’s cheating on you. Then 당신 come back to the set. And almost always, it’s after one of their scenes where I suspect them of doing something. It just so happened every single time—I would come into work being like, “So how was it?”
Can 당신 set the record straight—your Edward character is a 100-year-plus-old virgin?
I think he’s … how old is he now? He must be 109 또는 110. There’s an arguable point with another vampire in Alaska from the first book. It’s briefly mentioned. But I can’t remember if it’s actually fully explained if he is a virgin 또는 not. I think the 팬 like to believe he is.
Since these “Twilight” films are 판타지 /romance/thriller dramas, may I ask which 사랑 stories inspired you? I have to sound really cheesy and say my parents. My parents met when my mom was 17 and my dad was 26. They’re still together. I grew up in an age where everybody gets divorced.
But in terms of film, I’ve always liked despairing, painful 사랑 stories . I think that’s probably because I’m still young. There’s a Godard film called “First Name: Carmen.” I’m not even going to attempt to say the French pronunciation. I always found that to be one of the most truthful and inspiring loveHow uncomfortable is it to be 연기 with contact lens on?
당신 can’t feel properly. 당신 can’t sweat. If 당신 do anything to sweat, everything starts breaking on your face. 당신 can’t even psyche yourself up for a scene. I don’t know how people do scenes with contact lenses on. I just find it impossible. The Edward character is about restraint and restricting yourself about everything. He’s not a very effusive person. A lot of the performance should be done with your eyes but then 당신 eliminate that ability 의해 putting the contacts on. Whenever I do other 영화 in which I don’t have to wear contacts, I breathe a sigh of relief.
In “Breaking Dawn,” 당신 become a father and Bella becomes a vampire bride. Do 당신 have tips for Kristen on playing a vampire? Do 당신 feel that you’re mature enough to play a dad?It’s funny because I’m playing a dad in some scenes in “Breaking Dawn” and I’m portraying one in a movie I’m doing now as well. I’m terrified about doing it. I don’t know what I’m going to do when it comes to those scenes. I’ve been complaining so much about having the makeup on and contact lenses. Kristen is like, “You’re so pathetic. 당신 have to just get over it. Why can’t 당신 just get used to it?” [Now, since Kristen has to wear contact lens, too], I can finally be like, “You will know what it’s like. You’re going to be in constant aggravation the whole time.” Which is great.
We don’t see a lot of guys like Edward who protects a girl’s virtue. Do 당신 relate to him at all? How 구식 are you?
I think I’ve become 더 많이 old-fashioned. I feel like I’m already turning middle-aged now (laughing). It’s quite nice to be doing a series of films that a lot of people think uphold positive virtues. Some people actually think the films are a good influence on their kids.
Stephenie Meyer was on the set of “Eclipse” 더 많이 often than she was on the first two movies. What was that like?
It’s not intimidating. She’s really nice. She really likes the films. It was strange, though. I didn’t really notice until toward the end of the filming. I was like, “Stephenie has been here every day” (laughing). It was interesting. She’s always open. She would never really come in and push anything on us. She was open to answering questions.
당신 have a western genre film project, “Unbound Captives,” in development. Why are 당신 fascinated with westerns?
I grew up watching westerns. My dad’s 가장 좋아하는 영화 are all westerns. I hope that film happens. It’s such a complicated film to get together because it’s not really an action film 또는 anything. It’s a slightly depressing romantic drama, half of which is in Comanche. It will definitely be different. My character is a massive stretch for me.
당신 play the guitar. How important is 음악 for you?
It’s really important. Incidentally, my sister is a singer and a songwriter. 연기 has helped as well because I’ve never really had any particular interest. The only reason I’d start releasing records is hopefully so I get a name in 음악 and have good people who would want to collaborate with me. I guess having a name in acting, 당신 can get your foot through the door with quite a few musicians. I hope I’ll be able to record some stuff just for myself. The idea of selling it—as soon as 당신 start making it—it dies in a lot of ways. It’s too scary at that point. Then everyone feels the need to judge it. But if you’re not making money and you’re doing it for yourself, then no one’s going to judge it.
“Twilight” is very 인기 with young people, including Jaden Smith. What kind of 책 and 음악 did 당신 like when 당신 were a teenager?
I was obsessed with a writer called Martin Amis when I was a teenager. I read everything. Every single time I went to a bookshop, I’d see if he has other books. I used to buy multiple editions of his books.
Martin, 봉고차, 반 Morrison and Jimi Hendrix—they were my people when I was growing up. I’d obsessively collect all their stuff.
That’s funny about how Jaden likes the “Twilight” thing. He’s like the first guy who’s willing to admit it (laughing).
What has so far been a life-changing experience for you?
My moving to secondary school. I was kicked out of my first school. There is a whole system of the schools in 런던 where I went from one school to another and then to university. Everybody went to the same schools. But I got kicked out. I ended up going to an arts school which was probably the best thing that ever happened to me.
Why were 당신 kicked out?
Secret (laughing). stories I’ve seen on film.
