Chris Weitz Wishes Robert Pattinson Had Been Able To Attend Premiere Of "A Better Life"

Last Tuesday night was the Premiere of Chris Weitz's new movie "A Better Life" and Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner attended the premiere at the LA Film Festival but there was one of his "New Moon" stars that wasn't able to attend and was missed by Chris.......yeap Robert Pattinson.

Chris mentions him in the vid below around the 0:30 mark

Oh and psst Chris, come 'ere, *whispers* Rob is shooting in Canada and don't mind what your one says on this video, we do care about the movie ;-)



Good to see that Chris understands about Rob not being able to attend unlike this person who tweeted him after the premiere the other day

Chris Weitz understands and compares Robert Pattinson to chocolate

It's been a few days because we were actually blogging about this guy, Robert Pattinson. He has a movie coming out, Water for Elephants, so Mr. Weitz was put on the back burner. :P

Here are the Robert Pattinson mentions from Chris Weitz over the past several days:

xAdele95 @chrisweitz What's your favourite line in New moon??? :P x

CW: I love when Edward says, "I'm getting to old for this S---".

PCGhaha @chrisweitz when Bella first starts "seeing" Edward in NM was rob Rly standing in front of then when they stopped the motorcycle very quickly

CW: R u kidding? I ain't gonna risk "Franchise" like that!

CamiFaith @chrisweitz Which scene took longer/was harder, underwater bella and edward, or Edward/Volturi fight scene?

CW: Underwater Bella was tough. Fight scene I had loads of 2nd unit help

Tink: This question got lost but they asked about what Mr. Weitz thought of "mourn Rob"

CW: I think you mean sad? Well, one day I told him there was no Easter bunny. He loves them Easter egg hunts.

Tink: Here's the question again...but slightly different and still odd...

SaamGonzalez @chrisweitz Hi Chris thanks for the previous tweet. Have you ever seen mourn Rob (not acting)? Why?

CW: Nope, he seems like a happy sort of individual.

Tink: Such a beautiful laugh... *sigh*


source

jittzpattzing @chrisweitz rob's talked recently ab quitting acting if he's not doing roles he would like to see, understandably. Do you see him as a long term actor? Do you see him continually growing in the craft? Do you automatically get a sense of which actors you work with will turn on as 'greats'? Do you think someone can learn to be a great or is it innate?

CW: Well. He has every right to do what he likes. He has a lot of innate talent. There is however a strange compulsion for people to want to see stars get "bigger" and "bigger", which generally means more famous not necessarily more happy. I would rather be happy than famous. And I think any sane person would agree. Can I see "greatness" in a young actor? Sometimes. Jose Julian from A Better Life could be great. Takes tremendous effort and commitment.

DisneyTwiHechos @chrisweitz whics couple you prefer? rob and kris or tay and kris? PLEASE, JOKES NOT! hahaha :)

CW: No joke? It's none of my business!

Francesca_LG @chrisweitz Hi from Rome! my fav scene from the book is the conversation between E/B before the vote scene, why it isn't in the movie?

CW: Because I wanted to make people angry. No, because it is a lot of TALK TALK which is not always good for movie pacing.

EllenHomeniuk @chrisweitz What were your first thoughts when you met Rob for the first time! :) :)

CW: I could take 'im

Tink: Chris' got jokes.

eco2369: @chrisweitz hopefully u can answer this for me?! Why the change of cars for Ed in NM?

CW: Marketing money from Volvo :(

Teresa_Amo @chrisweitz please answer this! Why is Edward volvo in new moon black and not silver like in twilight and the book? Thank you:)

CW: Oh this one is definitely making the FAQ file. Volvo gave marketing money to the film. At least it wasn't poop brown, which is what they wanted. I could go on about how it's dark tone foreshadowed the breakup and gloom, but I'd by fibbing

Tink: Ewww! Poop brown?! I'm grateful for the black in that case.

JessaFifty @chrisweitz the first thing that comes to your mind when they mention ROBERT Pattinson..

CW: Chocolate

Naome @chrisweitz Chocolate...please explain. You just linked some sexy meat to a sexy food and we want to know why... I'm thinking things. X

CW: Nah, I just like chocolate

Tink: Not ok...but honestly, I'd eat it up if they actually got his mug right. This is awful.


source

Mama_Cougar: Coincidence, or planned that Rob has a line in Water For Elephants that includes "A Better Life"? :-)

CW: Had to pay him $1 mil

EllenHomeniuk Please please answer ! =D @chrisweitz What were your first thoughts when you met Rob for the first time! :) :) :)

CW: Here's the thing. I'm thinking about working with the guy. So I'm basically just looking for the crazy, and relieved when it's not there.

caitlin71Ann @chrisweitz LET'S PLAY SCREW, MARRY,KILL..KatherineHardwicke,Kstew and Robert pattinson!!! Who would you screw marry or kill? AND GO!!

CW: Let's not. let's not fantasize about killing someone.

Karolinamedk @chrisweitz Why did Robert Pattisnon (edward) have black dots on his body when you were filming the volterra scene?

CW: These are locator dots to map the cgi sparkle effect onto his face; had to be digitally "painted out" later

koulle hi @chrisweitz i just wanna ask,why there isn´t vision of Edward in the scene of Bella&Jake sitting in the car-the worst moment in the book!

CW: Because it just made Edward seem like a stalker. Like "it's ok, kiss her, don't mind me, I'm just here being awesome".

CarolSPimentel @chrisweitz Tell me what animals Tayor, Kristen and Robert remind you. hahahah

CW: Generically speaking, chimpanzees more than anything else.

zoemarchment @chrisweitz are rob and kristen actually together in real life or are you not alllowed to say because it will damage the films profits?

CW: There's no financial conspiracy, I just think what R and K each do with their private lives is their own business.

aryam578 @chrisweitz, Chris, did you get to keep Edward and Jacob's life size cardboards?

CW: They are my best friends

LynneE08: @chrisweitz If you could duet with Rob in a karaoke bar, what would you sing?

CW: "Love Will Keep Us Together", Captain&Tenille

DustyMoats @chrisweitz have you ever thought to have Hugh Grant's and Rob Pattinson's hair star in their own movie?

CW: I have actually suggested it to them. they didn't think it was funny.

Tink: I loved Hugh Grant back in the day. Not Rob-levels. Never Rob-levels. But still...in Hugh's youth, he also had sexhair awesomeness. But not Rob-levels. Never Rob-levels...

Barbara_Muffin @chrisweitz Hi!! I have a question for you P-L-E-A-S-E Aswer me! Who's more Sexyy Robert Or Edward?? Thankkkss Answe please!

How to address this. Robert because he is a living human being existing in reality?

Tink: UNF!

JadaPattinson PLEASE ANSWER THIS @chrisweitz !!! :-) RT @tinkrbe1l3: @chrisweitz this was deleted but we never saw on DVD. Can u share details?Where's Bella?Did Billy yell at Edward?

CW: The scene exists, it's one small shot, there was no dialogue.

Elle_Wilson: @chrisweitz I really wanted to see that scene dialogue or not

CW: so sue me

papaya57: @chrisweitz~Hello, could you address why Robert and Kristin won't come out of the closet? : ]]]

CW: are they gay???

twilightmom1901: why didn't u film E staying in Bella's room after the party & him thinking about leaving??

CW: I don't know and am ashamed

Tink: Truly, C-dub tweets are 90% comedy but here are a few non-Rob funnies:

tinkrbe1l3 @chrisweitz for kissing scenes, is it awkward? Do you literally have to tell actors, "turn your head to the left 45 degrees and moan."

CW: No, but I do tell my wife that

Kinglautner @chrisweitz do you prefer my old username @omglautner or my current one @kinglautner?

CW: Surely LautnerisDeity would be better! ;)

Tink: Hahaha...this cracked me up. But please. RobisDeity is the only way to go in this life.

TeamJaspward @chrisweitz have u ever put on a pair of jeans then realized they are full of red ants? It just happened n it hurts!!!!!

CW: Only every Monday, on purpose! It starts the week off with a bang.

Lizza2828: @chrisweitz Can i ask a stuff? If you`re a fruit.What kind of fruit are u?

CW: passion fruit

elisevictoria18: Please answer my question. Okay..what was the funniest memory on the set of NM. :)

CW: I try to discourage humor on my sets

Tink: What was Mr. Weitz's tweet after finally getting verified by Twitter?

CW: My next movie: "Verified -- the Chris Weitz story. A heartwarming tale of doubt, adversity and triumph". On Lifetime next month.

Tink: Our own Kate had her question answered...after a misunderstanding and many attempts...

stuff4ang @EmeraldKate Thank you! HobNobs are yummy with tea! I wish @chrisweitz would answer your question. That idea of FF Edward was brilliant!

CW: Happy to answer, what does FF stand for in this case?

TheDanaB09 @chrisweitz FF=Fan Fiction There's a site dedicated to it. Fanfiction.net - look for Twi stories. Be warned though, it's quite racy stuff.

CW: Ohhhhhhhh. Well, wasn't my idea for the DVD. Not sure I can handle the racy stuff.

EmeraldKate:I was asking about the FAST FORWARD Edward & Jacob in the Extras on the NM DVD.Were they your idea?(not Fanfiction) LOL

CW: eh no

Tink: *snort* all that and "eh no" LOL It was funny to watch go down. We leave this session on a sweet note. :)

jen_pennybug @chrisweitz did anything surprise you about working on a Twilight film?

CW: The sheer devotion and enthusiasm of the fans, and in general how positive and supportive they are.

Follow the uber-cool Chris Weitz and support his film, A Better Life, in US theaters June 24th

Chris Weitz Twitters On About Robert Pattinson

Once again our favourite guy on twitter Chris Weitz was busy answering all the questions that everyone was firing at him. I honestly don't know how he keeps up with it all.

Here's a round-up of the ones that were about Rob and once again I'll ask, if you're not following him on Twitter "What are you waiting for??"

TwiFans @chrisweitz did you cry like a blubbering girl while reading the break up scene in New Moon? #itsnormal
CW What? No way...unhhh unhunnnhhhh don't remind me

(Kate: Giggle (not sure why I'm laughing about it, I was a mess)



RPattzgirl@chrisweitz did you notice after Bella saves Edward his white makeup is in her right sleeve? I love that part, BTW
CW I totally meant it Rona pent at way because um-- I meant that to happen (Kate:I'm not sure what he was trying to say in the middle of this?)

CalliopeBlabs dear @chrisweitz , i heard sometimes it would be cloudy on set and you'd ask robert to come by and suddenly the sun would shine. true/false?
CW He wouldn't have to come to set, I could just call him on the walkie and be like, dude, fix the weather.

Kate: And as we all know Rob can brighten up ANY day!



CalliopeBlabs dear @chrisweitz i heard you made robert pattinson wear uggs on set.... just because you could.
CW This is also true. He'd show up looking less than a 10 and I'd be like, "Uggggg-lee" and then He'd hang his head and get the boots.

Chris Weitz keeps us entertained with Robert Pattinson mentions on Twitter

camila_0905 @chrisweitz What was the first thing that went through your mind when you were invited to direct New Moon?

CW: "Oh boy, this is gonna involve a LOT of tweeting down the road, isn't it?"

Kate and I are straight up obsessed with Chris Weitz tweets. We love that he tweets like an addict. Wanna see us fangirl? Watch us ask any and every question under the sun when he appears on Twitter. We both recently got some questions answered (I think he called me mija!) and here are the latest Rob/Edward-related tweets from the last couple of days.

A_Pickens @chrisweitz Which do you like better Rob's American accent or British accent? Is it tough for him to switch between the two? Please answer!!

CW: I prefer his native Slovenian accent. It's amazing that he's fooled the world into thinking he's a Brit.

SedaRobsten @chrisweitz If you would have a chance to film American pie with actors of New Moon who would you choose for the role of Jim?

CW: Mike Welch=Jim Tyson Houseman=Finch Taylor=Oz Billy Burke=Jim's Dad Rob's eyebrows=Jim's dad's eyebrows

@VampGurl05: @chrisweitz do you think robert pattinson is hot?

CW: I felt his forehead, he seem ok, no fever

jet_set_go @chrisweitz i think you have beautiful eyebrows. would you say so? even more beautiful than rob's?

CW: I think only a brow-off could prove this. But thanks ^^.

(Tink: no contest...)

VampireGirlee @chrisweitz if you could pick one character from new moon to play, who would you pick? :L

CW: Well, I would like to THINK I'm like Ed but really I'm like Mike

Lavixia @chrisweitz I have always wondered why Edward, while in Italy,has a bruise on his nipple.He had a fight with someone or something like that?

CW: That was me. One day he wouldn't come to set and I had to give him a purple nurple.

(Tink: I don't think we'll ever be satisfied with his answers for nipplegate)

kjstewrtpattz @chrisweitz What was the fast food that you, Rob and Kris more eated when you guys were shooting New Moon?In n Out, McDonalds, Burger King?

CW: There is a wonderful Vancouver place called the Poutine Pit

Melll_xxx @chrisweitz Were Rob,Kristen and Taylor fun to work with on the set of new moon?! Any funny stories? ;)

CW: Meh

TwilightCougar1 EPIC!!! RT @Late2thePartee @chrisweitz Rob's sexpender pants went missing during New Moon. We last saw them in Italy. Did you take them? ;)

CW: Why? how much would you want for them IF, say, I knew a guy who knew a guy who had them?

(Tink: awwwwww....Weitz has them hostage!)

@Luh_Cullen_rc: @chrisweitz what was the weirdest thing that Rob did on set?

CW: He wanted to "practice kissing" with me. Not appropriate.

(Tink: Can I apply to be his "practice" assistant on films?)

@BlueEyedLady67 I would like to know what happened to Edwards silver Volvo

CW: let's just say I have a Volvo. And it's silver.

SkylarLSpencer I've been asking this for days. RT @tinkrbe1l3 @chrisweitz have you heard Rob's music? ... was he approached for NM soundtrack?

CW: Keep asking until I can think of a diplomatic answer

(Tink: *bitchface* I won't let this question die. Persist, I will.)

kjstewrtpattz @chrisweitz Did you meet or hear about Robert`s and Kristen`s new dog??????????????????????????????

CW: Yes, I took it as a stealth question about whether they're together and deflected it!

(Tink: LMAO)


And that's the latest! A special congrats to Spunk Ransom for winning his haiku contest.

spunk_ransom @chrisweitz The winds that blows - ask them, which leaf on the tree will be next to go. ~ M

CW: Thank you for all your submissions, they ROCKED so hard I will give $1500 instead, via the donations handled by Tortoise General Store on Abbot Kinney in Venice (wonderful Japanese importer, they have people on the ground in Japan). Thanks all

Here's a runner up haiku that Mr. Weitz tweeted:

Tkegl @chrisweitz They protest too much...Jake and Edward in the tent...secret forbidden love?

And I simply couldn't resist sharing this gem...

Paty_od @chrisweitz you came in Italy and did not say anything?

CW: I am a quiet lover.

Follow this man! ;)

Robert Pattinson and New Moon featured again in Chris Weitz's daily tweets

It's that time again! Here's your roundup of Robert Pattinson/Edward-related Chris Weitz tweets from his self proclaimed W-hatevuh Wednesdays and part of his Thursday Th-rilling observations.

hehe...



athenia_22 @chrisweitz if you had to choose either rob or kristen to babysit your son who would you choose? hehe

CW: Taylor

AwesomeArianna @chrisweitz It's whateva wednesday right? Random: Did you guys use Virgin Airlines in NM as a crack towards E/B virginity? Please do tell!

CW: Yes, the idea of using that airline amused me....

tucheer83 @chrisweitz Since I'm watching NewMoon I have 2 ask: Y didn't you have Edward steal the pics from Bella but decided to let them disappear?

CW: Film narrative -- seeing him steal the pics would give away the game. But seeing them not there all at once would, to me, lessen the impact

tucheer83 @chrisweitz Now here's the season's scene. Y didn't you let Edward take the pics like the book & chose to let them disappear off the wall?

CW: Yeh. Nice to see it in the process of happening; her heart is still breaking.

mvdsbRDTP: @chrisweitz in BD do you think edwards penis should sparkle?? ;)

CW: only if he is nude sunbathing

(Tink: We were almost there...)



jeihlynn0921 @chrisweitz i want to ask if in the future you still want to work with Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stew and also Taylor Lautner?

CW: Turning irony off... Yes, yes. I like the all very much. Fond memories.

JimiMarie @chrisweitz so who's idea was it to have edward park across 10 parking spaces in New Moon?

CW: Me... Better pictorial arrangement. Bu I like that Edward don't give a f--- !



DrVivibuff @chrisweitz In NM there r some scenes were you put things that normally not everyone would notice, like Volterra on Bella's Romeo&Juliet book, or Jacobs Tshirt, Dream catcher on Edwards face, the golden compass attached to Bella's bag... do you do that kind of stuff in all your movies.. or was this at first 4 you?

CW: I always do this sort of thing, though I did more than usual in NM. It's fun to play semantic games!

MizzezPattinson @chrisweitz If you could direct any movie of your choice and have ROB star in it, what would it be? ♥

CW: There's a great fantasy series called The Prince of Nothing by R. Scott Bakker. Rob would be great in it.

RobPattMoms: @chrisweitz in which role? Anasûrimbor Kellhus?

CW: but of course, no? perfect, no? Good catch

(Tink: A little info from wikipedia: This trilogy details the emergence of Anasûrimbor Kellhus, a brilliant monastic warrior, as he takes control of a holy war and the hearts and minds of its leaders. Kellhus exhibits incredible powers of prediction and persuasion, which are derived from deep knowledge of rationality, cognitive biases, and causality, as discovered by the Dûnyain, a secret monastic sect. As Kellhus goes from military leader to divine prophet, Drusas Achamian, the sorcerer who mentored Kellhus, comes to realize that his student may well be the harbinger of the Second Apocalypse.)

eclipse_patz @chrisweitz Hi!! could you please explain that scene where you say cut and they continue, I wonder how long continued?

(Tink: Here's the video she linked in her inquiry)



CW: What can I say, NOBODY LISTENS TO ME

PattzManiacas: @chrisweitz HOW IS WORKING WITH ROBERT ??

CW: HE SPOKE VERY QUIETLY

And there ya have it! You know this isn't the last of him ;) Follow Chris Weitz HERE if you'd like to know more about New Moon and other funny and informative ramblings.

@charlie_5390 @chrisweitz do u think it's unfair that Rob, Kristen and Taylor are on bedsheets and pencil cases and stuff like that and your not?! :)
chrisweitz Yes, which is why I have made my own bedsteads with me on them.

@THoffman06 @chrisweitz Best behind the scenes quote...GO
chrisweitz"Your son has huge eyeballs" -- Rob of my son Sebastian. (Kate: LOL niiiiice {giggle)

@julyfarnesi @chrisweitz you talk a lot about Rob. So tell us who is the best musician in the cast?

@Melbobson @chrisweitz who would you play if you could ay any part, in any of the films and why?
chrisweitz I would love to lift Rob in the air by the neck like Daniel Cudmore did. No offense, Rob, but it must've been fun.

'Twilight: New Moon' Director Chris Weitz On Robert Pattinson's Chill Media 'Tude

"Twilight: New Moon" director Chris Weitz talked exclusively with The Dish Rag about Robert Pattinson's noticeably more relaxed interview skills on his recent New York media tour for "Remember Me."

The actor wowed NY talk show hosts with his off-the-cuff amusing remarks about how sexy Betty White is on "The View," telling the "Today Show" that he offered to do a nude photo shoot for Details, revisiting his lady parts allergy, even good-naturedly climbing up a tree for a "Bothered" video with Jimmy Fallon. (Kate: Yeap these interviews will go down in Rob History)

The guy is becoming a younger, wittier, even more self-deprecating George Clooney.
(Kate: Great Description)

"I think that he is probably happy to to be talking about a non-vampire role, because he's so much more than that," Weitz reveals during our chat about the cool extras in the upcoming "New Moon" DVD, coming out on Mar. 20. (Much more on that later!) (Kate: Ooh)
