A being of truly staggering beauty.
Truly........ staaaaaaggering!
Can I join the Robowski Addict club?
FILTM
Robine, it does look like he shaved his chest
(especially in the first picture).
anyway, he looks amazing!! if that boy were an apple, he'd be a Delicious
Fae,
Look two threads down.... bouncing on the sofa trying to tweet and blog and that's what happens.
LMNBArseO!
Could not help myself, an avi it had to be!
I love Robowski's hair, he is hotter than ever. Is there any look this man can't pull off?! Me thinks not.
Dessert
Looking... I'll probably won't get it and you'll got ME confused! LOL
Breathless, chilling, Rob is - there are not words for the pretty that is Rob Pattinson...all I can say is, 'treat him well Kristen'. What a lucky young lady! :-)
OHH YUMY
Dessert
Ok, you got me! I DON'T GET IT!
LOL
Fangurl moment.......*ahem*
SSSSSQQQQQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God how I love the Robkowski hair!!!!
That it all...
Fae,
I was very excited when I wrote those comments.
@Dessert First.. I agree it is so rare to get some Rob footage first hand in the U.k We get just a little excited! Just launched my cup of tea across the room when James Nesbitt said HE........ sent us this. How can a little clip of Rob turn me into a complete quivering wreck?
Dessert
LOUD and CLEAR!

Shoegal

Dessert!
Ohh!

tmaryf,

I was tweeting, blogging and mailing while trying to watch Rob and my comments were a little crazy
(thankfully I have it on the Sky+ box so I can drool anytime!)
Dessert
LMArseO!!!!!
tmaryf are you from the uk? and did you see rob's mum and sister in the audience clare may be so proud of her son!
@Loisada--Nice avi change! :-)
Oh, congratulations Mr. Pattinson... you handsome devil you! Can't wait until June 30...to alot of Edward. We'll catch other glimpse of you now and then.
im back...again lol..
GOD the way he looks his whole expressions the face the eyes the lips his smile and OhMyLordJesus what am i to do with myself
*sighs for a very loooong moment*
GONE!!!
P.S.
@tmaryf, when I read your post about throwing you cup of tea across the room... I LOL and spit my tea on my monitor.
@ ROBsessed89
Hey, come back as often as you like - I will never tire of staring at your avi! Ever.
OK....had to wait till my 12 yr old walked out of the room.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Can he be anymore adorable!!!!!
FILTM
Hi, my name is Cindy, I'm 44 and I am a Robowski addict.
OMG!!!!! I never though any other hair than the SEX hair would do it but HOLY CANOLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This hairdo really suits him and me plenty fine!!!!
Im so happy he won!!
Like I said before... THERE IS NO OTHER THAT DESERVES IT !!!! HE IS THE MAN!
*waiving to all the girls* RL really SUCKS!!
well if that doesn't make hump day that much easier
143 Rob!
@tmaryf - ITA - really love it when he is back in UK - just the thought of bumping into him............ (will probably never happen!) so great to see that clip - he is so gorgeous - I never tire of looking at the pretty!
@evangeline - didn't see any of his family in audience - perhaps they are in LA with him?
GUYS what about the ~ HAIR - I just LOVE that little dangly (is that how you spell it?) bit that flops over his forehead - makes me want to reach out and pull my fingers through it! SIGH!
Aww. That shot of him biting his lip? So damn cute. It's funny. He can look so hot and sexy and mature and manly and then...he can turn around and look just like a little boy. Remember his baby photos? I swear sometimes he gets the same expressions on his face now as he did then.
And does anyone know what he won for?
so NICE...How come every expression/movement is breathtaking?
He's not human he can't be!!
I'm off to bed with sweet dreams!
Sweet dreams to you too! :)
Nik,
It was for best performance
(New Moon)
I love it!! He was only in what 40 minutes?
FILTMSM!
@50
awwee thanks...yup that the tongue we all want...huh ladies..ok now calm down...ok nevermind the calming down cuz this whole looking @ ROB PORN isn't working for me at all :P
*hyperventilating***
Oh. And I doubt he shaved his chest.
As the role doesn't call for it, why would he? I'm guessing it's just the lighting in the photo.
Sometimes he looks like he's just got a few wisps and then other times you can see just how much there actually is and the space between the top of his chest hair and where his stubble begins, is just a few inches.
I likes me a man with hair on him. The hair on his arms makes me insane. Oh what am I saying? Every inch of him makes me insane.
@sluttypatz - "he's not human, he can't be"
Maybe he's really beautiful Alien - whatever, I wouldn't mind a close encounter with him!!!!! LOL :)
@lemonie there are some theories he can be an angel maybe
@robsessed89 your avi 'deep sigh'again
@nik
Hi...nice to see you here
(((is waving)))
Thanks DF.
He's sure wracking up the awards, isn't he?
Word around town is, if WFE delivers, it's gonna be Oscar bait.
Makes sense...big production, big budget, big director, beloved novel, prolific screenwriter, A-list Oscar winning actors, story that's hard to pin down to a specific genre (it's an adventure story, a love story, a story about the love of animals and a character study with old Jacob) AND it's got the hottest ticket in town...Mr. Robert Pattinson.
Keep your eyes on this one girls. Well. With Rob in it, where else are our eyes gonna go?
@RobsessiveFILRP - You're right he MUST be an Angel!
Could we tempt him to fall do you think?!!! lol
ok..
Jesus..
Robkowski is soooo young.. I will go to jail if I say out loud what I wanna do with this gorgeous guy!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!
*sigh* How would I make it through life without this man? Literally, I run to the computer to check ROBsessed to find updates. I feel so HAPPY when there are NEW photos. Let alone a VIDEO! Where I can sit and study his beautiful new hair and adorableness!!
Thanks for making my life happy! I feel comfortable sharing this with you guys cause I know you understand.

@lemonie I think we need to thank god for him !
Nik - great to have you back - Haven't read WFE - any idea what certificate it might get?
@RobsessiveFILRP Amen to that!
I know it;s not the topic but have you ever seen this? Victoria Pattinson about her job and parents http://icould.com/videos/victoria-pattinson/
@Nikola
You're back
welcome home
How nice!!!!
As you've seen him in real how his eye color really is? I read that You are 5'2 and 1/2 (i'm 5,1!)so it could be a problem for U to figure it out but i'm colour freak
grayish blue?
bluish green ?
greenish gray?
I know,i know it doesn't matter in looking at a whole but still.
I'm freaking at drawings so
Yunno
Hi ROBsessed89...**waves back**
And DF...
We gotta figure something out. I'm too chicken to put an e-mail address back up. But you're coming to town and I gotta meet ya. Maybe as the time gets closer, I'll jump off the ledge and put my cell number up here. And if I get any crank calls, I'll just go change it. Easier to do that, than go get another comp.
Gotta do something. I can't let you come clear to LA and then not make the effort to meet you. I will.
@lemonie Amen
@nik
OMG you live out in LA that is crazy i live like a hour from there i finally found someone within reach that is ROBsessed like me lol...everyone lives on the other side of the world.... :D
@lemonie...
By certificate, I'm assuming you mean rating. And I would imagine this will be PG-13. I know some have said they hope they don't make it PG-13 just to get Rob's younger Twilight fans into the theatre. But there is absolutely no reason to make it an R as there is no filty language or over the top sex and a PG-13 is easier to market than an R. Although I have not read the script, so I do not know what changes have been made from the book.
Although why they would change a PG-13 novel into an R rated movie, makes absolutely no sense to me. Even with it's adult themes, this is still a family friendly story because it's about the circus. Yes, there is violence to the animals, but it's also a story about the love of those animals as Jacob is their savior.
So...PG-13. That's my guess.
And papagaj...
Hi to you too. As for eye color? They looked deep blue/green to me. But I'm under the impression that they change depending on what he's wearing and the particular lighting he's in. Some have said they see grey in his eyes.
an angel which came down from heaven in order , to kill us all
no it doesn't work, does it?
it's like higher level of initiation
and i would like to study this kind of pattinhology
LOL
He is simply SO cute and sexy, and just all around gorgeous! He seems to have such a sweet/down to earth personality. *Sigh*, he makes it So easy to love him.
I can't wait for WFE. I REALLY REALLY can't wait!!
ROBsessed89...
You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to find out just how many Rob nuts on this blog are in Southern California and then arrange a Rob Fest. I've got a friend who's nuts about Hugh Jackman and she's gotten together with people from the forum she writes on.
It would just be for the day. We'd get a hotel room in Hollywood (I'd go ahead and get it), so we'd have a place to hang and talk and watch his dvd's and then we could bum around town. We could eat on the cheap at In-N-Out so it wouldn't cost people much, except the gas to get there.
Sound like fun? My friend has a blast when she gets together with her Hughie friends.
@papagáj
I have never seen ROB in person but girl let me tell you his eyes have enough power hypnotize me and take over me :D
@nikola6
OMG OMG OMG that is just amazing idk what to say im totally there if this ever goes down OMG i can't even write what i want to say fast enough that would literally be the best day of my whole life...beside the day when i will meet ROB
ok if you ever plan on doing this just let me know (-; *winks*
@Nik - thanks for the info on rating (sorry we use both terms over here). Fascinating to know you are one of the chosen few who have actually met the Robster - how long ago and what was he like - did you get a chance to talk to him? Would love to know if that is not being too nosey!
holy truth @ROBsessed89
I'm shity meticulous :)
I'm almost sure he is hidding X-men magneto glasses somewhere
@ Nik - Oh am so jealous - what a great idea to meet up with other obsessives in California - I find it really hard to find anyone in my area who is into Rob - all my friends think I'm nuts! I had to go and see New Moon on my own (how sad is that?!!) and I guess it will be the same for Eclipse.... so you GO girls - get together and all the rest of us who don't live in the US will be with you in spirit!
@Nik....that is a fantastic idea. I am soooo alone in this obsession of mine. My friends just don't get it, they just put up with me, and amuse me at times I think?
If you do get something like this together, COUNT ME IN!!!
:)
How cute he is. He looks so much younger with his short hair. So happy for Rob that he is getting noticed for his performances and I hope to see many more from him.
@papagáj
i know he has one some where i just know it :P
@lemonie
i know exactly how you feel i thought i was like the only on here from CA and my friends they just think ROB is cute and thats it they move on OMG how do you do that idk its unexplainable to me...
OMG and if this ever happens ill take my laptop and skype so you guys are there with us :P
@Cindeeloo
You live in CA 2...??? close to where OMG this is just getting better :D
@Papagaja me too - I like the sound of Pattinhology! - A degree in Mr Pattinson - how hot would that be?!!! :) oooooh could I join Robowski Addicts - I,m 36 and I,m a Robowski Addict! Whens the next meeting! LOL
Nicola thanks:)
brilliant idea for californian NBs
How strong i envy you :P
@ Robsessed...
Yes I do, I live in Chino Hills right off the 71 and 91 frwy.
I always wondered how many of us were in the LA area? :D
Rob won National Move Awards for Performance of the Year. New Moon won for best fantasy movie. Eclipse wom for most anticipated movie. Peter accepted the awards. Beat out Avatar and Alice. How great is that.
@Robssessed89 - Ahh thanks so much - it would be great to skype you guys!!!! And you know what - re friends moving on - what can I say? I DUNNO EITHER?! How do they do it - I just like to think of us robsessed fans as the elite! We'll be there to support Rob in whatever endeavour, because we recognise true talent and hotness!
@lalaith466 - thanks for the link - really interesting imo - sounds like Victoria is also doing well in her chosen career - definately see the family resemblence there!
@Cindeeloo
OMG that is crazy i live in Hesperia idk if u've been there probably not aha...well the High Desert...mayb you know Victorville???
Um lemonie...
I kinda got a problem here with the telling of that day I met and spoke with Rob. And it's a problem that I've created myself. For an explanation, please go to the thread with the Cannes photos. Start at the bottom and go up about 9 posts. I've explained myself there and I hope you'll understand.
And I'm not sure how to arrange a Rob Fest 'cause I'm kinda paranoid to put an e-mail back up. Thing is, I've got all kinds of protection on this new comp, so...maybe I just need to take a chill pill and get over it.
I'll work on it. But I'm thinking we should do it after ROBstock II, sometime in July? I'm gonna figure this out and make it happen.
And if I do get that e-mail back up? I'll figure out how to do a group e-mail and any of the newbies who want to know the story, I'll tell you there. I just don't want to tell it on the internet again. And I'll explain in the e-mail, why that is.
And yes, he's as lovely as you've all heard.
Lemme go swallow my chill pill and maybe by this evening, I'll have it up. Just check my profile later.
I gotta put one up or shut up and get off the blog. People want to hear the story. I gotta be able to find DF when she comes to town next month and shit...now I gotta arrange a Rob Fest. LOL!
Lordy. I'm just swamped. LOL!
lemonie:D
there are no time limits ,only zones
LOL
@Nik - totally understand Nik - don't want to invade your privacy or muck up your computer - there are some odd people out there - so totally respect. Glad he really is what he seems to be - so many of them aren't - thought it would be the real deal with our boy. will check out Cannes thread - but please don't feel pressurised! Seems you may have started something with the Rob fest - great idea - but maybe be careful about communicating it? `if only I could jet over to ol" LA!
@ Nik....no need to do this alone. If you need my help just let me know. RPG has my email, if you want to contact me.
Hugs
Nicola
You gonna be THE HOST!
@nikola6
OMG this sounds so awesome and JULY would be perfect for me *sighs*
NOW THESE ARE MY PRIORITIES:
1.MEETING ROB (one i have no doubt)
2.ECLIPSE
3.ROB FEST (pending):D this has 2happen
4.LOOK @ ROB ALL DAY EVERYDAY AHA

@papagja - COOL! talking of time zones its 12.50 gmt here - so I think I,m gonna say good night all - its been a pleasure chatty tonight! Sweet Rob dreams and see you soon!
@ Nikola - thanks Hun - read the string - totally understand - but for us newbies who would love to hear the story maybe you could email it - not sure how to send my address to you - don't want to do it over a public forum - anyways great to chat to you as always - going to head for bed now - tres fatigue! Hope to speak soon! sweet dreams
He is so beautiful. It doesn't matter long hair, short hair, he is just beautiful. So glad he won this award although I am not familiar with them. I assume it is a British award considering Peter's acceptance speech. That is so nice for Rob.
Rob, how can you get MORE attractive and be MORE endearing, but you are. Your humbleness melts my heart! Your physical attributes-well, they do other things to me!!
FILTM!!!
@jc(kyfilly)
AGREE WITH U 10000000%
Robsessed89 & Jane: there are more of us here than you think! I'm just north of LA as well.
Nik: I've got a hunch that the key to making WFE award-worthy won't be how the two stars mesh (Rob & Reese) in a "love" story, but instead the ties Robowski builds with Walter and August. Forging a begrudging friendship, and dueling with a mentor enemy, are going to give Rob lots of emotions to explore and space to work and grow as an actor.
I haven't read the script...... Can anyone who has tell us how much those two relationships are stressed, without giving too much away?
@nikola6
if u need my email so that we can communicate that way u can let me know :P
ill put it up here 4 u and then delete it :D well if u wish if not we'll figure something out :D
@Loisada
r u serious??? ohh this getting better by the sec :P
He's so adorkable.He deserves all the recognition he's getting, he's working so hard.
I just finished reading WFE.It's a good story and I couldn't help but picture Rob as Jacob the entire time. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.
Loisada...
I totally agree. Jacob's relationships with August and especially Walter are the key. In terms of the dramatic narrative, his relationship with Marlena is secondary. Also...the bookended scenes with old Jacob. Hal Holbrook is one of the greatest actors to ever draw the breath of life and getting him was a real coup. And I'm a thinking...
He got his first Oscar nomination (at age 82) in 2007 for Into The Wild. Yeah. As great as he is and they wait that long to honor him. The thinking was, this was kind of a lifetime achievement thing and they'd better do it now as there might not be another opportunity. But they didn't give it to him. It went to Javier Bardem instead for "No Country For Old Men", a worthy choice. But if Mr. Holbrook pulls this off (what am I saying? that man could act while in a coma), the Academy might just see one more (and maybe the last) chance to honor one of the greatest and most respected actors ever and this time, not only nominate him, but finally give it to him. I think it is an absolute possibility. When this film comes out (I'm guessing, early fall of 2011) and throughout the awards season of early 2012, he'll be 86/87 years old. And if he were to win it, he'd be the oldest actor ever to win (the oldest actress was Jessica Tandy in "Driving Miss Daisy" and I believe she was 89).
And even though the role is small, because it would be in the supporting catagory, screen time doesn't matter. Judi Dench won for supporting in "Shakespeare In Love" and she was on screen for 8 minutes.
So...don't want to be getting ahead of ourselves here, but I do think this is a possibility. Also...he just lost Dixie Carter and their's was one of the best marriages in show business and alot are feeling so bad for him right now. It's probably a good thing he's got this role right now to help him through this time. And yes, there is the possibility he won't even be with us by the time this film is released. Doesn't matter. The Academy just honored Heath Ledger posthumously (sp?). Hal Holbrook is one of the most beloved and revered figures in that industry and...yeah...well...
We shall see.
Hi everyone!
All of the SoCal ROBsessed (or anyone) are welcome to join us for Robstock II. We start arriving in LA on June 19th....just throwing it out there.
@Nik--Not only is Desserts coming from the UK, but so is AnnieEvilRobPornPusher, from Sweden! You must come meet us! =)
FILTM!
Oh CL...
I want to so much. And I'm gonna do everything I can to make it so. I really can't wait to meet as many of you as I can.
I'm gonna e-mail RPG tonight and get the details ironed out.
Nik
Love and appreciate your encyplopedic American cinema knowledge
I love the haircut so much. I hope he keeps it for a while
@Nik--well, I hope we can work it out. We'll be there for 7 days!
Btw, did RPG pass along my e-mail to you today?
In case you didn't see them, there is a nice photo of his mom and sister on RobPattzNews... no doubt elsewhere as well.
CL...
I haven't checked that e-mail today. I will, as soon as I get the hell off of this blog.
And captain...
When it comes to knowledge of the cinema, I am an idiot savant. I'm not kidding. My sisters call me Rainman. They'll call me from work and say..
Were talking cinema trivia. What was the name of that movie and who was the actor who played Santa Claus in that movie with Natalie Wood when she was a little girl? And without missing a beat, I fire off...
Edmund Gwynn in "Miracle On The
34th Street." It was 1947 and he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
They say thanks and hang up. They don't even tell me goodbye.
As I said the other day. I am an odd duck. Actually. I said I was weird. I am. I'm also an odd duck.
@nikola6
odd duck or weird (and let me tell you im weird my sisters and bro tell me all the time lol)WE STILL LOVE YA GIRL!!!!
*hugs*kisses*
@Nik-- I totally understand, just respond whenever you can.
Nik, I have a challenge for you: can you name the 1942 movie staring a English actress with the initials GG? It's one of my all time favs. AND no cheating and googling it. ;-)
*HINT* There are Oscars involved...
@ CL....Thanks for the invatation :) I probably won't make it to the premier, but I would LOVE to meet you all!!! You'll just have to let me know how to get in touch with you when you're here.
Do any of you have tickets to Sam's show on the 22nd. I'm only asking because I might be going alone?
Hugs
CL...
Greer Garson in "Mrs. Miniver." 1942, directed by William Wyler. She won Best Actress. Wyler Best Director and it won Best Picture.
NEXT!
LOL!
And Teresa Wright won Best Supporting Actress.
I know. I'm a freak. LOL!
@Nik--LMAO!!! Very good! I so love that movie. Have to find a harder challenge for you.
@Cindeloo--We do have tickets to Sam's!! We could meet you there. That would be so much fun. Let's stay in touch and figure out how to get this done.
@Nik--I am heading to bed, so I will find you tomorrow and hope to have a better challenge for you.
Good night ROBsessors.
Oh. And thank you ROBsessed. That was very sweet. We are gonna meet and we are gonna have a blast. I just gotta feeling.
And AP...
I haven't read this script, so I don't know of the changes made. There is full frontal nudity in this script? Where? When Jacob was drunk with those two women and couldn't remember if he was still a virgin the next morning? Poor Jacob. LOL!
And yeah, there is violence, but that's nothing. Hell. They say that before their 18th birthday, a child (in this country) witnesses about 10,000 murders on episodic television.
It's much tougher to market R rated movies these days. Which is very odd if you ask me as we see MORE on cable tv than we do in the cinema. And with kids' access to god knows what on the internet, I just don't understand this prudishness when it comes to films. And with this being a story about the circus, I would imagine that they're gonna try to gear this (in part) to families in order to expand the audience. Just a guess. If this goes R rated, I will be shocked as it hurts the box office.
And speaking of R rated. We all know that BD (with the before and after sex and that horrific birthing scene) is really an R rated story and young girls have read it. But for some reason, they think that in order to sell it, they gotta water it down for the film version. I just don't get it.
And speaking of virgins...
There is a line in WFE that made me bust out laughing. Old Jacob is recalling that at 23, he figured he was the world's oldest vigin. And when I thought there was a chance that Rob might be playing old Jacob, I thought...
There in NO WAY he can say that line. The audience (that is, the Twilight audience) would be convulsing with laughter. I'm afraid Robbie boy is not going to ever be able to play a virgin again. And that's because, Edward Cullen just might be the most famous virgin in film history. LOL!
@CL....
Soooo excited!!!! I was so afraid I was going to have to be there alone? I might bring 1 other person with me, but not sure!
We definately need to keep in touch!
I feel so much better now.
Mhuahhhh!!!!!
Hello, Every night I look a lot of sites searching Rob notices, but yours is FIRST!!!! And today is a lovely day! Congratulations Mr Pattinson, obviously is not a surprise that you win!
Okay CL...
Sleep tight. We'll play tomorrow.
Nik, are you still there? There is a movie starring Natalie Wood, I think, that has been bugging me. I think she was a character called Marjorie Morningstar but the title was ?? Birth of a Star or something like that? It was about the sordid underside of the film industry. Do you know what I'm talking about? What was the title? Was it about an actual person or just a generalization? Bugging me, silly but it is.
Yes Laurie...
It was called Margorie Morningstar and it was based on a novel. Can't remember who wrote it.
I loved Natalie Wood. She and Audrey Hepburn are my two favorite actresses of all time.
Her performance in Splendor In The Grass, haunts me to this day. I never tire of watching that film.
Nik: Well, I read WFE as a story about what went on behind the scenes of a circus going through hard times. It shows the brutal, seamy and desperate underside of the business of trying to keep the animals alive, the men and women employed, and a world ruled over by a psychotic despot who abuses his wife, the animals and anyone else who enters his circle of paranoia. Some of the men are paralyzed by the ‘juice,’ some are thrown off trains, others beaten and murdered, the townsfolk are seen as people to be exploited, the animals are mistreated and tortured – and the redeeming feature is Jacob’s love and compassion for the people he meets, the woman he loves and the animals he cares for. I dunno – it doesn’t seem like the traditional circus story to me and not exactly ‘family fare’ but that may be my take. Also, it’s not a fantasy, or sci-fi, but a realistic drama, and I think that makes a difference. Also a lot more 'immediate' on the screen….
Almost full frontal, not quite. Yes, it happens when Jacob is shaved after he's set up by Walter. Also Barbara is semi-naked in one scene with the cooch girls. I think WFE is a tough, realistic look at a dark time. Of course, to reach more audience, and spread the message about abuse, they may choose to pull back and make certain scenes less explicit. I’d rather they tell it like it was. And, of course, they are making it just for me….lol
Excellent points AP. You're right. This is one tough story. I guess I just got caught up in the old Jacob part of the story, as he is my favorite character. And that ending is so wonderful and so delightful and so whimsical, that that is what stayed with me. THAT is what I walked away with.
But I still say (and knowing what I know of the movie business), they're gonna soften this a bit in order to get that PG-13 rating because they limit their audience with the R. Which is ridiculous.
We shall see.
I gotta go read this thing again.
After Edward Wallbanger.
Jesus. I'm choosing fan-fic over actual literature.
I need a good slap.
Nik: don't you think the rating could ride on whether the studio is looking for box office, or clout? A studio hoping to pull in an Oscar will at times let the box office slide a bit, to burnish their rep. Perhaps WFE will be one of those films? A chance to show they can make a "grown up" movie?
Then again, this is a Fox 2000 flic, not Fox Searchlight. That would point more towards PG-13... which will be a shame for a gritty tale like this that shouldn't be sugar coated. Fingers crossed for grit!
Nik & AP thanks so much. I haven't seen Inside Daisy Clover. I love Natalie Wood too, so maybe I will have to get both these films and look at them. And the books. ;D
Looking at these pics of Rob again. He is just so cute here. I think he would make a terrific young Jamie Fraiser (Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon). But why do I always picture him as redheaded or rather auburn haired? [Actually I am happy they are letting his hair color be for WFE.] Could he do a Scottish accent? Wearing a kilt? Period costumes (1745ish). I think I might melt.
Hey Nik, include me in a Rob Fest PLEASE!!!! Forgot your location.
FILTM
Good Lord, is there nudity in WFE? I haven't read the book, so I'm clueless. I just don't see Rob doing full frontal nudity, he had trouble with the shirtless scene in NM. I know he did that scene in Little Ashes, but that was before he was famous, and I think he would just be too embarrassed with the whole world checking him out.
BD will be PG-13. Summit is contractually obligated for the Twilight movies to be no more than PG-13, SM made it part of the terms of them getting the rights to the movies.
AP: thnx for the summary. Such a rich script, if they get the tone and focus right, this movie could be epic. Share your excitement, especially with C. Waltz on board... something phenomenal could be coaxed out of Rob on this.
@Nik - I am late to the party, again but I would love RobFest in So Cal. My email is listed. Please keep us posted. July sounds great.
Anyone going to Twilight Convention in LA?
@lemonie, I am with u there, I am lucky coz my friend is just as obsessed and when we drop the kids off at school we have our Robtime, we sit in front of the computer and just Robsess! but then can't function for the rest of the day. Our other friends think we are mad and acting like silly teenagers, have they seen him? what planet are they on!i stayed up most of the night to get early showing Eclipse tickets, i was frantic! got them in the end though. did you manage to get some? come and obsess with us anytime.
By the way I think maybe he is a wizard (harry potter!) and we are all under his spell! That lock of hair has devastating effects on me, enough said. drooling at 8 in the morning.
I get the impression from the script, that they are softening WFE. It's great but not as gritty or grown up as the book.
@Nik Don't be too hard on yourself. Wallbanger has serious merit! :) (Besides, Clive kills me!)
@AP, what a brilliant and accurate synopsis of WFE! It is unfortunate that they will be softening it for commercial reasons, but not surprising, of course.
@Laurie, I caught my breath when I saw your comment. I got addicted to Outlander series a while back. I wouldn't mind seeing Rob as Jamie, but I don't think Rob is seeking to prolong his romantic heart-throb image and playing Jamie Frasier would only exacerbate it. Aside from that, I heard a couple of years ago that it was getting made into a film, but then nothing came of it. I get the impression that there's some problem with creating a film version either for cable TV or theatre of Outlander. Not sure why, but I could guess: Audience demographic, expensive, time traveling, period costuming and sets, etc. I'd still love to see it happen, though.
I read the book as well as the script as appears on the blog(wordpress). In the book -Jacob and Marlena have attraction towards each other but do not act on it until she is assaulted by August(her husband) and she leaves him planing a Divorce. Jacob is having the attraction towards her but at times , goes to the church to redeem him from the thoughts he has for her.
In the script , they come together on the New years eve itself, (in the book they only kiss).Ironically- In the book Jacob commits to marriage with Marlena -and when the child is born he has mixed feelings , he is not sure that the child is his- until he sees the red hair , this is classic.
Among both the book and script, I liked the book better becuase then it makes it a bit cheesy (cheesier then the book). In the book they both struggle to deny the attaction therein. They should make the love story as a back drop and not the center fold.The center story should be the Depresion era, the hardships of Circus , the prohibition and journey of this man thro' it.
Then only the movie will get some acclaim , or it will be a love story( no harm in that but in reality , real story only starts after- 'happily ever after'
This was my longest post ,Thankyou.
@Loisada: yes, the scenes between Jacob, August and Marlena should be intense and compelling. Grit would be nice...lol
@Lallieb: well, it's a synopsis, i agree, but thank you. :)
@Sarsparilla: You can't cast a Reese Witherspoon as the central love interest and make her only the 'backdrop.' She played a small role in the film she co-produced, "Penelope," but she wasn't the main character. Marlena's the catalyst for Jacob's rebellion and stand against August so the love story is central to the conflict.
I assume you mean on New Year's Eve they just kiss, in the book? Not that they only kiss in the book.;)They have to shorten the time it takes to develop the relationship for the film. I agree it would be great if they could include everything in the book, but they can't. If the version you read is from April 2009 - the script has changed since then.
I guess I read Apr 2009 , script how much has it changed now?
sarsaparilla, I disagree, the love story/romance between Jacob and Marlena is the main plot, and the driving force behind the Jacob and August interactions. And I am SO looking forward to WFE, as I'm sure it will be a great dramatic love story/romance placed on the backdrop of the depression era and suspense/intrigue.
Marlena is a complex character as well, because she is a woman who is silently suffering and has suffered abuse for years. So the interactions between Jacob and Marlena will probably be tender and intense as well. I think their romance will be riveting to watch, and also the interactions between August and Jacob as a result.
Hey , angel stardust .. I agree with you It was AP. that said that Jacob-Marlena relation is the central focus of Jacob's struggle and his stand against August, not me.
thx.
Oh sarasapilla, so I'm guessing that you, me and AP agree then lol, and we just misunderstood each other! Because that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that the J/M romance is the main plot, it is the heart and soul of the story. And it is the driving force/catalyst for the Jacob/August interactions.
Jacob and Marlena are the two main leads, and August is a secondary lead or a major supporting character (whichever term suits more I guess).
hehe, so long live agreement!
Yes we agree,lets see how the movie unfolds.
Off the subject, but this seems to be an active thread. This is from RobPattzNews... some of you might have already seen it... I send it along to those interested in cyber trolls.

he looks like such a little boy . . .
tmaryf - LMAO when I read your comment - oh I'd love to know where you live .... I'd be round like a shot to robsess with you. So lucky to have a mate to go with - no I haven't got my tickets yet - still trying to pluck up courage to go to Midnight showing on my own - how sad will I look?!) Only get to go on here after kids are in bed - so you might not read this - but hope you had a good morning robsessing!!! :)
@Lemonie, Just wondered where you live, all us u.k guys should get together sometime although I can imagine that would be an organizational nightmare! I live in Worcestershire. I am passing the Twilight books round my sons playgroup thats what started me on this Rob rollercoaster, and now I can't get off. not that I want to of course.
I@ tmaryf - Hi *waves* I'm in Bristol - so not too far away - yeah we should definately meet!!! I know some of the californian girls on robsessed are planning to meet up - such a cool idea - let me know if you're planning to go to any conventions/premieres - would definately be up for meeting up!
lallieb, if you come back. Yes, I read that they were going to make a film of the Outlander also. But it has taken so much time that the actors Diana had in mind are all too old now. You are probably right about the cost and audience appeal. Too bad, because it would be a good film. [If you got it, flaunt it Rob.]
Congrats cutie!! te quiro mucho! well desrved and many more to come-you kickazz y'know :) cant wait to see all your future flicks xoxoxoxoxo
@lemonie. Bristol... that is really not far. *waving*. Oh, the thought of going to a premiere or convention especially if Rob is there...............wish I could have gone to the New Moon fan one, he looked so lush that night...well, actually he always looks lush! Oh here I go again, I could write chapters on that man, HE KILLS ME!
