Robert Pattinson On "Bel Ami" Set - VIdeo
This is from Day 1 of Filming
Robert Pattinson - Remember Me Press Conference Report
I think we've read a few bits of this interview - but not all together....
Ever since Barnes boy Robert Pattinson smothered his face in talcum powder and put in a set of plastic fangs to play a veggie vampire in Twilight, the man has become the biggest heart-throb on the planet. After seeing thousands of screaming girls in Leicester Square, London for the UK premiere of Remember Me, one feels rather sorry for him. He may offer glib platitudes and thanks “to the fans”, but you sense deep down he just wants to get on with being an actor and not a celebrity. Remember the hullabaloo surrounding Leonardo DiCaprio after Titanic? Well, Pattinson is famous on that frightening level. Leicester Square (17th March) was vision of hell worthy of Hieronymous Bosch.
Hordes of Twi-hards blocked by barriers and security guards stretched out their arms clawing at “R.Pattz” like they were ravenous zombies excited by the prospect of fresh meat. There is no doubt that given the opportunity they would maul poor Robert Pattinson to death. Such encouraged frenzy and devotion is bizarre. The MC only had to say “Rob” and a grand choir of teens spliced the London air with a wail of screams utterly perplexing as it was damaging to the ears. They idolise R.Pattz and don’t care. One group of girls had been camping out in Leicester Square for 32 hours. How do I know this? They had a placard telling everyone. It is devotion bordering on religious mania. They are here to worship at the Church of Pattinson.
And yes, I had to wade through this jungle of sweating flesh and flash bulbs to attend the press conference, which was being held in the same venue after Emile de Ravin and Robert Pattinson introduced the film. Moments later they were in a tiny screening room greeting the gathered press for some questions and answers that started off stilted and ended up rather fun.
The immediate thing one notices about Robert Pattinson is his nervousness when confronted by the press. It’s all in the body language. He swivelled in his chair, would shield his face with his hands and look sideways to avoid eye contact when speaking, bite his nails or mess with his hands: a catalogue of telltale signs.
It’s not rudeness or arrogance, but a discomfort at the process of publicity. Maybe he’ll grow into it with time, but he exuded a great awkwardness to begin with before relaxing and being rather fun.
A major annoyance was caused by the PR people who warned the gathered press that there were to be no questions about Eclipse or Kristin Stewart. So if you’re expecting some fresh details on those subjects, well, there aren’t any. Sorry.
Robert Pattinson on working with Pierce Brosnan in Remember Me:
I never thought initially that anybody like Pierce would be playing Charles. He has an innate likeability and he’s very charismatic. Charles on the page was somebody who was domineering and quite a negative character and Pierce changed all that.
Robert Pattinson on the pressures of his new found status and ability to fund a variety of projects:
I never like anything, so it’s quite easy to decide what to do. I’ve never felt any pressure to do anything. Even when I was shooting it, I never felt any pressure about the box office – it’s only when I came to promote it that people ask me about this stuff. It’s not a Twilight movie; it’s an original screenplay and doesn’t fit into any genre. It’s not a feelgood movie…they don’t make movies like this any more…that’s how I kind of choose stuff. That’s the criteria.
Emile da Ravin on the appeal of Remember Me:
To me it didn’t really read technically like a script. It was like somebody had written you a letter…it was so honest and organic.
Emile De Ravin and Robert Pattinson on their New York accents:
De Ravin: I love accents and I use them quite a lot working in States, but it really adds another layer to the character for me. It was interesting with Ali (Ravin’s character) because she grew up in Queens, New York and originally I was going to do that. But talking to a dialect coach and going up there and observing I noticed the younger generation didn’t have a strong accent at all.
Pattinson: It just sort of came out of the script and the dialogue. It was pretty much the same voice. Sometimes when you read the script it just happens. I wasn’t even conscious of doing a New York accent or what borough or anything (laughs). I’ve spent a bit of time in New York and tried to pick up on how people speak. I don’t even know where my accent is now. I wouldn’t even say it’s specifically a London accent.
Emile De Ravin on Lost and its legacy:
Yeah it has been part of my life and it’s been a great ride. It’s kind of bittersweet that it’s ending, but happy they announced an end date three years ago and that it’s ending on a high note. I’m trying to be positive about the future (laughs).
Robert Pattinson on his real-life heroes:
My parents are great parents and they brought me up well, I think. I don’t know…I think that’s about all the heroes I’ve had.
Pattinson on the importance of fans and expectations for Remember Me:
I think, um, I always felt the most important thing you could do was films like this and quite difficult to generically advertise and get out to people. Something like Twilight or Lost…it gives it publicity immediately…if people go and see it, then once you’ve got them into the cinema, it’s almost inevitable that they’ll get drawn into it. I don’t know…obviously you hope people like things, but if you start to do things to please a certain audience then you’re going in the wrong direction. You can never please everybody…you don’t even know the people you’re trying to please. Especially when you’re trying to please huge swathes of people.
Emile De Ravin on fans:
Every fan of Twilight or Lost isn’t going to like everything you do. For me, it’s about challenging myself and not pigeon-holing myself into that one category of actor.
Robert Pattinson on why he’s attracted to brooding characters and plans for more light roles:
I did do more light stuff before Twilight came along. I don’t know, it just so happened that Twilight became this archetypal brooding person. I never thought Tyler (Remember Me) was that brooding. It’s not brood, brood, brood. I’d never even heard the word before! I like to play broken, troubled characters because it’s so interesting and I’m not particularly broken or troubled myself. I’m doing something now, which is dark, but the character since.
Robert Pattinson on preparing for fight scenes and real life scuffles:
I haven’t been in a fight for a very long time! I’d be too scared now (laughs). I think people who get into a fight and kill me now just for sake of it (laughs). I liked a lot of Tyler’s rebelliousness and audaciousness…it’s like a fantasy version of myself! Not really (laughs).
Robert Pattinson on his favourite type of biscuit:
You know in America when you get chicken and biscuits? It’s just really funny…whenever I’m in America and drive past restaurants and see chicken and biscuits and I’m like “why?” Then I had one and it was very nice…so I’ve changed my mind on what can be constituted as a biscuit. And I do like a Hobnob.

Robert Pattinson interviewed by LasProvincias.es
The original article is HERE from lasprovincias.es - thank you to Twilight Poison for the translation via Spunk Ransom
Kat: I don't know if it's lost in the translation - but some of these answers don't sound like things Rob would say.
Is your character in RM the closest interpretation of your on personality?
No. I think it’s impossible to represent yourself being fully aware of what you’re trying to do. I try to choose characters that are not like me at all. The more unknown they are to me, the better I can play them because then I don’t feel vulnerable.
Do you like the tortured characters?
Those are the ones that I’m being offered. Subconsciously I try to be like my characters, and I live my fantasies through them. I’d love to be a confused young person that fights for his ideals, but I’m not like that.
Everyone beats him up in RM.
I prefer to be hit than hitting. It’s more interesting.
How would you describe the movie?
It’s a movie about a life style, about love and the desire to live. The story is told through the eyes of Tyler, who is not aware of the consequences of the relationships he has.
Trauma seems to be everyone’s bond in the movie.
Yes, all the characters in the movie have faced death somehow, losing a family member. So there’s a connection with them through grief.
This is your first movie since
Yes. I wanted to do a smaller film. Something with a modest budget that I could film in between filming the Twilight movies. I wanted a story that was more realistic because I was getting a bit tired of the fantasy genre. I needed to play a regular character that faced normal issues.
Do you feel the pressure of fame now?
Yes, and the industry’s pressure as well. It’s almost like everybody is looking at me. Some people are just waiting to see me crash and burn, others are convinced that I’m going to make it. But in any case, I don’t care about people’s expectations. I’m the only one who has to worry about my career.
I know. And I’m a little angry because people will forget about my performance in Remember Me, and keep the idea they had before about me. I thought
Mattel has a doll with your image, there’s unauthorized biographies of you, photographers follow you everywhere. Do you feel like a brand?
Yes. Fame can be a monster that consumes your life. The only thing that bothers me is people who think they know me and try to relate to a determined image of me.
I don’t mind if Hollywood sees me as the tortured teenager. I’ll change that perception with my work.
In this industry all they care about is that you make money. It doesn’t matter if you’re the next super-hero, or the next vampire, of the next lead in a romantic comedy.
Is it hard to rest after so much attention?
It’s very hard. There’s nothing I can do but try to find moments of peace, otherwise I’d go insane. It’s annoying when people scream for you on the streets or on the supermarket, or when you’re with your friends at a pub. I appreciate my fans and their support, I’m thankful and I know I wouldn’t be where I am without them. The most annoying part is living with 100 photographers outside my house, because they never stop, I live hiding from them.
Not even cartoon characters are immune to Robert Pattinson!
I love how even Meg in the Family Guy has been dazzled by Robert Pattinson. His poster was on her bedroom wall in last night episode.
Thanks to Julia for the image.

Robert Pattinson's "Bel Ami" Featured On Hungarian TV
GAH 3:11 where can I apply for the job the fluff Rob's hair? I WANT THAT JOB!
Big thanks to Aniko (csucsok in our comments)for doing the translation. Please credit her if you repost.
The beginning - the reporter:
The security is as tough as for the Dalai Lama and for the British dukes together, but they are not that charming as Rob. :)
But their reporter had a chance to go little bit closer, but first he had to watch for hours, how the Hungarian street (Andrássy út) transformed to a 200 years old Parisian street.
After the first pictures:
The Robert Pattinson's fever has broken in Budapest. Hundreds of screaming fangirls was waiting for the Twilight's star. The teens idol is shooting his newest movie, Bel Ami with other famous actresses in the Hungarian capitol.
The TV shows reporter was following the 23 years old actor's first day in Budapest.
The 1st girl: I am waiting for him to come outside, just to see him a little bit.
The 2nd girl: He is really handsome man.
The 3rd girl: He looks good in the costume.
The actor's first big role was in the Harry Potter movie as Cedric Diggory. He was one of the competitor against Harry Potter in the Triwizard Tournament. But the real world's fame was arrived with the Twilight movie. For the last 2 years everywhere thousands of fangirls are screaming for him with each appearance. The third part of the romantic vampire saga's preview was seen here in these TV shown two weeks ago.
hen Rob's speaking about how the New Moon movie is 10 times bigger than the Twilight was.
On Sunday early morning (5:30) cars arrived with horse trailers to Oktogon. The Andrassy street has transformed completely. Because the Bel Ami movie takes place at 1890's in Paris. They had to scatter sand/dirt to the road between the buildings, street signs, advertisments and show-windows was created to show how the old Paris could look more the 100 years ago. But it is not a surprise that they are shooting here in Budapest instead of Paris, because the closing the Andrássy street for a day costs for the production around 2,5 million Hungarian forint (9500 EUR) plus extra additional costs. And still much more cheaper than it would have been in the french capital.
Meanwhile in the back of one of the Hungarian 5 stars hotel Kristin Scott Thomas appeared with her small dog. They started to walk after they went to the shooting scene by car. The actress was playing one of the main role in the English Patient movie.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon couple of dozen fan was waiting just beside Robert's trailer. The door opened, but the star jumped in the car right away and went to the another scene. The screaming girls were running after the car. :)
At the Operahouse at least a hundred people are waiting already. The reporter could shhot how the did the make-up for Rob just next to a trailer.
Just couple of minutes and the shooting is starting. In this scene Robert is reading the newspaper before the newspaper's stall. The whole Robert Pattinson's craziness continued today in the Szabadság place. The actor locked up in his trailer today as well, but the fans was waiting consistently.
The 4th girl: He doesn't want to come outside to speak, and the security was covering the whole place to not see anything at all.
The 5th girl: I haven't seen him, but hopefully today I can meet him.
The 6th girl: Possible I would be so shocked that I couldn't speak to him.
The 7th girl: My friend is a big fan of Rob, but I can only speak English, that's why I am here.
The 8th girl: Of course I am # excited that he is here, but we won't scream and rip off his clothes. :)
The movies other two world famous actresses are not here in Budapest yet (Uma Thurman, Christina Richie). The information is that the shooting will be here for two more weeks in the capital city. So there is chance for everybody to meet one of the big stars.
