Canadian Globe Interview-New Pic!

YET ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

Despite all the hysteria, the baby-faced Pattinson turned out to be a likeable, slightly goofy sort of kid; one who openly admits he's bewildered by all the seething estrogen his appearances inspire. Playing Edward Cullen, Twilight's bloodsucker with a pensive, emo-boy heart, Pattinson comes across as both beautiful and sullen, romantic yet chaste (at least when it comes to neck biting). His flannel-clad, awe-shucks Edward is more underachiever than undead, more Morrissey than Ozzy – a refreshing change from the overly arch, Euro-trash art-fop vampires seen in the Blade and Underworld franchises.

Now that Leonardo DiCaprio has completely transformed into Mickey Rooney, it's time to crown a new tousled teen wonder.

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel, and its sequels, have sold millions of copies and have a huge cult following – inevitably, some people will think you do not match their idea of Edward. The author has even labelled this reaction the “Rob effect,” after you.

Is the Rob effect the universal effect of people disagreeing with the casting? Ha!
I think she meant just you.

Yeah, I had masses … there was a huge, universal backlash about my casting, I think. I mean, there was a petition. Seventy-five-thousand people signed it, they sent it around. But, I mean, I expected it.

Did it bother you?
No, I mean, the casting breakdown for the audition was, “Edward is the ideal man, he's the perfect man,” so I just thought anyone who has the gall to even go into the audition is, like, really asking for it! Ha! I would have done the same thing if I was a little girl.
That's telling, because the novel's critics argue that the characters in Twilight are overly obsessed with beauty and have no emotional depth.

I did read the books, and I thought, mainly because I was trying to find something in there that was playable, that you have to realize that the whole story is told from Bella's [the teen heroine] perspective, and she is completely infatuated with Edward's world. She's completely lost in the vampire world, she wants to be part of their world so badly. So the talk of beauty and everything, you can be objective about it, because it's from Bella's perspective. I don't know if that's how Stephenie Meyer [intended]it, if they genuinely were the most beautiful creatures ever, but it is from Bella's perspective, so I really thought they could kind of be anything.

Have you been told how much you resemble Prince William in the film?
Oh, Jesus! I used to get that from Harry Potter! Ah, it's terrible! Ha!

Why? He's beloved. He'll rule the Commonwealth one day.
No, it's terrible! Ha! It's the worst thing you could possibly have said. This interview is over! Ha!

I mean, I don't have anything against him, but, oh God, it's so typically English. I'm trying to get away from that whole stigma of the floppy English posh person.

What's your security plan, now that hordes of young girls want chunks of your hair?
I don't know … I might start lashing out at them! Ha! It might make me genuinely terrifying. I was noticing this – nobody really goes up to hard-core rappers, they don't get too many problems with little girls! I'm hoping I can just go to London and it will be like a switch, I can just turn everything off.

I doubt that.

More and more people are noticing me, but if you go to really crappy places, people don't expect you to be there. And I have a tendency to only be in really crappy places.

But ... God, I'm still reeling from the Prince William thing!

Oh, stop it. I could have said Camilla Parker Bowles.
Oh, God. Oh, God, no. Prince William. Jesus!

Thanks to the Robtastic Amy for the link.

He seemed REALLY bothered by the HRH comparison! I think you need to throw up a split picture up of him and Wills. I really don't see it AT ALL.

OH> His eyes are luminous in this photo! Huge! He like a deer or one of the girls in a Sulamith Wulfing painting.. (Claudia has returned)

Its just because of the flushed cheeks and the pale skin. Prince William isn't cute.

Amy, that was hilarious. I am literally ROFL.

Finally, women all over the world will understand what we've been saying for months - ROB P is hot and sexy! Expect this site to explode with new bloggers after this weekend. Our secret it out.

Twilight-Maggie said...

Rob doesn't look a thing like William, WTH!!!

And I too loved Lainey's review. She knows that Twilight is full of cheese, but at its core there is Edward and Bella...and that is all we need, they are magic.

Ellie said...

Amy~~Very Funny review, and honest. You're right, it started out negative--and I almost stopped reading--but it delivered! lol

And yes, our boy is the hottest thing on this planet!

Tess said...

Thanks for the Lainey interview

Of course the movie is full of cheese (If that's what we're calling romance these days)! the books were cheesy as hell! But that's what we wish our real lives were like, and that's why we love each and every one. And that's why we'll love the movie.

I can't wait to see this!

Clip of rob reading from Twilight and scene stuff

And seriously you got it right Tess If cheese is what they are calling romance today then what does that say about the state of our society. Oh I could go on about how I think we are sometimes losing touch as humans ...but then I am blogging on a board with a bunch of lovely ladies :)

I think you hit the nail on the head, Tess. Twilight brings romance back. Too bad that is considered to be cheesy.

I personally found Edward a little overbearing and bossy. But at the same time, what girl doesn't want to have the kind of romance/devotion/loyalty/love that Edward shows Bella? And ... oh yah ... he's hot!

Jewels64 said...

I can't believe Rob was freaking out over the Wills comparison. He's right though, he just got that posh, private, naughty school boy thing working for him. Oh, the fantasies I could weave over that one! Thanks for the link to Lainies review Amy! We've all known it for a while now...

Jewels64 said...
