Chicago Tribune Interviews Rob About Tai and WFE

A I know. It’s strange. My dad loves it and he never reads anything. I think maybe because the reality of working in a circus? And then it can be so harsh … maybe (it’s) more relatable to men. But it’s not really a totally romanticized story. It’s impossible to romanticize.
Q You’ve worked with werewolves in “Twilight.” What was it like working with Tai the elephant in this?
A She’s incredible. She’s one of the best actresses I’ve ever worked with. She plays Rosie in the book, and that’s an incredible difficult part to play. It’s really integral to the story. It’s really difficult casting to find an elephant that could pull it off. … Plus, she does impressions.
Q Seriously?
A She does impressions of chickens and stuff. And her general attitude is crazy, but she was also just so calm. She could be in a massive crowd of people … but she just stayed totally calmed, looking quite cheerful all the time. She just needs a bit of hay and that’s it.
Q You two have that in common, right? I’ve seen you very calm in massive crowds of screaming teenagers.
A Yes, but I complain about it afterwards. She doesn’t complain about it; she is an incredible creature.

Exclusive Interview: Rob Pattinson on Attraction

Seventeen Magazine caught up with Rob at the New York premiere of Water For Elephants!

Your beloved Edward Cullen took a little break from Twilight last year to make Water for Elephants, an epic drama based on the bestselling Sara Gruen novel. That movie hits theaters on Friday, April 22 (who’s seeing it at midnight?), so Rob and co-star Reese Witherspoon turned up at the New York premiere tonight, to talk about the movie and their characters. When we asked Rob what he found most attractive about Marlena (Reese’s character, and the woman he falls in love with in the movie), here’s what he had to say:
Rob Pattinson: “Just her energy. She’s extremely charismatic. Especially for [my character] Jacob, being able to see that is amazing. He grew up in upstate New York on a farm, so you’re not going to see that many superstars!”
PS, when we asked him whether he thought it was weird to play a character named Jacob, he said:
RP: “I didn’t, until I was promoting the movie. Then I realized I’d set myself up for something!”
And PPS, he showed up at the premiere almost an hour early, so he could talk to all of the fans across the street, take pics with them, and sign autographs. Adorable.

The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide’ hits Indie Bestseller list

Stephenie Meyer’s The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide just hit shelves last week, and already the book has made its way to a bestseller list.
According to Media Bistro, the Guide has debuted at the number four spot on IndieBound’s Hardcover Fiction Bestsellers List for the week of April 14th.
Last year, Meyer’s The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella also became a bestseller right away, and all four of the Twilight Saga books (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn) were long-standing bestsellers as well.
The Guide has not yet been included on The New York Times‘ bestseller list for the same category just yet, but the NYT’s list for this week reflects sales up to April 9th. The same is true for USA Today (April 10th). No doubt, next week the Guide’s success will be reflected in those two publications’ bestselling books list as well.

Be sure to check out my review of The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide here as well as sneak peeks (if you haven’t already gotten your copy) of the edition here.
USA Today unveiled their new bestseller list, and Meyer’s Guide was listed at number four in the same category.

NextMovie Casts Robert Pattinson in 6 Other Literary Classics

New Movie has cast Rob in different Literary Classics!
Excerpt from Next Movie:

He plays Jacob (which incidentally proves a nice wink-wink for Twi-Hards), a Depression-era veterinary student who gets swept up in the colorful world of big-top circus tours and – we’ll say it – swept off his feet by a star performer (Reese Witherspoon).
It’s a role that fits R.Pattz comfortably – and one that inspired us to imagine what other literary adaptations the heartthrob could pull off.

‘Water For Elephants’ Clip – The Train

Alex Meraz At The Tribeca Film Festival!

Alex Meraz (aka Paul) attended the debut of Karl Lagerfeld & Rachel Bilson’s original film series inspired by Magnum Ice Cream at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21st!
Alex talked with Celebuzz about his wife being Team Edward!

Twilight beefcake Alex Meraz might be a heartthrob among the film’s “werewolf” fans, but he still can’t get his wife to leave Team Edward.
“That’s a battle I won’t ever win,” he joked to Celebuzz. “She was a fan of the original books and first movie. She loved Robert Pattinson and wanted to be a vampire girl. It was the craziest thing.”
He’s not too upset about her loyalty to R.Pattz’s character though, because it was her devotion to the series that eventually landed him the role of a hot-tempered werewolf named Paul in New Moon and Eclipse.
“She was the one who told me about the audition and pushed me into getting a role,” he said.
Ironically, once he landed the gig, she only had one ground rule: no spoilers.
“It’s funny. She knows the plot but gets annoyed when I talk about what’s happening on set. I guess it ruins the mysticism of what she loves about it,” he added.
You can see Alex up next in Breaking Dawn: Part 1, which arrives in theaters November 11.

Robert Pattinson Interview with USA Today (Video)!

Robert Pattinson is featured in USA Today in a candid interview discussing his new pup, Water for Elephants, Breaking Dawn, and Twitter.
Here’s a part of the interview:

Sipping on coffee with milk on a sunny morning at the Four Seasons, Pattinson describes attempts to housebreak the “German shepherdy-mix” he recently adopted from a shelter in Louisiana. “He’s called Bear,” Pattinson says matter-of-factly.
“I was trying to potty-train him to go on the balcony of the hotel room,” he says. “It was so windy in Vancouver, the door slammed in his face, and I was just like, nooo.” He sighs: Before Bear was adopted, the pup was found in a trash can outside a bar and has since almost had a run-in with a wolf and a seagull in Vancouver. “He’s got a door phobia anyway.”

On Breaking Dawn:

He just wrapped Breaking Dawn‘s final chapter. “It’s completely nuts,” he says. “There are some days on set just watching you go, ‘How is this going to be PG-13?’ ” He laughs. “The whole first movie is like a straight-up horror film.”Summit Entertainment is releasing Breaking Dawn, Part 1 this November, but Part 2 will not be released until November 2012. Meaning, no matter what other projects Pattinson takes on, the fandom and furor that surround the franchise are Pattinson’s to keep until roughly early 2013.Would he do a franchise again? “Only if I could have a lot of say in the development of it,” he replies, noting the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” creative mentality of the series.The spotlight is just as hotly focused on Pattinson’s relationship with girlfriend and Twilight series co-star Kristen Stewart, 21. “I try my best to avoid it happening by never being seen or not saying anything stupid in interviews, but it doesn’t seem to matter,” he says of the rumors and headlines about them.
