JC: Is it true that you were in the running to direct "Twilight"?Anna Kendrick
GVS: Yeah. In an interview, Robert Pattinson was asked, "What's up for the next Twilight?" They had been asked this a thousand times. So he said, "We want to get a filmmaker like Gus Van Sant to do the next one." I was surprised at reading this and I thought, "Am I actually considered? Am I in the running? Would they actually even think that way?" So I told my agent to put my name in the hat.
I went out to the interview and, naively, I wasn't aware that I was expected to sell [myself to] them. They wanted to see your plan even though the plan was to do the movie exactly the way the book read, because if you deviated an inch, you'd be killed by the fans. Of course, the other filmmakers who were much more savvy had long 45-minute displays of these ideas and they got the job. It was a really bad scene because I got really nervous and I realized it was just completely going down. Obviously, I screwed the whole thing up.
Have you learned anything from Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart about dealing with the media attention?Click the source at the bottom of the post to read more from Anna about Breaking Dawn.
I have no idea how they stay sane with all that kind of attention. I know, knock wood, I’ve been able to avoid that kind of thing. I’m just in awe of their ability to handle that stuff.
Bazaar ended the year with more otherworldly pursuits by photographing Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for the December cover. It was one of the rare occasions they'd been shot together. Inside, the interview alluded to their real life romance, but as we said before, seeing is believing.
Cosmopolis star Sarah Gadon looks amazing at Moth Diaries premiere. Said she loved working with Robert Pattinson
David Cronenberg, Sarah Gadon, Jay Baruchel, Paul Giamatti, Juliette Binoche, K Durand attend TIFF2011 Rob from Cosmopolis was missing
Hopefully David Cronenberg brings Robert Pattinson & Cosmopolis to Premiere at TIFF2012
Cronenberg didn't cast Rob because of his tremendous Twilight Saga fame. In fact, he says, it made shooting a little more difficult...I love that. HE went after Rob. :)) Can't wait to hear more from him about Cosmopolis!
"Actually the fame was a detriment," Cronenberg told us. "I mean, it's good for financing - but it's not necessarily good when you're on the street and there are a lot of Twihards around. But I think people will be really surprised, I mean, I think he's a terrific actor and that's why I went after him."
