Edward Cullen may be a world-class brooder, but the actor who por­trays him, Robert Pat­tin­son, actu­ally enjoys a good laugh.
Pat­tin­son cer­tainly has much to be happy about these days. His career is red-hot, with the “Twi­light” films hav­ing made him a mul­ti­me­dia sen­sa­tion. He hopes his lat­est pic­ture, “Remem­ber Me,” which opens March 12, con­tin­ues his career’s upwards tra­jec­tory. At the very least, it’s allowed him to do some­thing he’s rarely had a chance to do onscreen: Smile.
“That’s one of the main rea­sons I wanted to do it,” Pat­tin­son says of the film. “I had never played a nor­mal guy. I’ve always done period stuff or fan­tasy stuff.”


帕丁森终于能在这部戏里笑了。他说他接演这部戏的一个主要原因是他之前从没演过正常人。（谁说的，我觉得How to be里的Art挺正常的，虽然有点滑稽）

Set in the sum­mer of 2001, “Remem­ber Me” is a roman­tic drama about learn­ing to over­come tragedy and the inspi­ra­tion and strength of love. Pat­tin­son plays an angry, aim­less young man named Tyler who meets a girl, Ally (played by Emi­lie de Ravin, Claire from TV’s “Lost”), and through their rela­tion­ship finds new mean­ing in his life.
The film is a depar­ture for the actor. Sure, the script allows for sev­eral dis­plays of the pouty, doe-eyed charm that have made Pat­tin­son the screen­saver dream­boat to a gen­er­a­tion of young girls. But “Remem­ber Me” is not “Edward Cullen Goes To NYU.”
“I had read so many scripts at the time and [this film] was the only one that didn’t fall into the same for­mu­laic pat­tern,” Pat­tin­son said. “There was some­thing about Tyler I just con­nected to, much more than I’d con­nected to a bunch of other male char­ac­ters I’d read around that period.”
Because Tyler is a Brook­lyn kid, the London-born actor had the chance to work on his Amer­i­can accent. It was an exer­cise that felt rather nat­ural to him. “I feel like I’m kind of fak­ing it when I’m doing Eng­lish accents,” Pat­tin­son said, before laugh­ing and admit­ting, “I know that’s 

rob说这部剧没有落入一般类型片的俗套，而且他与Tyler有联系。 他说美音都说顺嘴了，有时候觉得自己说家乡话是装的。

Shock of Sept. 11
“Remem­ber Me” con­tains a major twist at the end involv­ing the Sept. 11, 2001 ter­ror­ist attacks. It’s a shock­ing moment, a cre­ative risk that could polar­ize audi­ences. Pat­tin­son admit­ted he wor­ried about being part of one of the first major movies to use the attacks as part of a fic­tional story
“Def­i­nitely, I was a bit con­cerned. When I first read it, I was sort of [caught off-guard],” he said. “You’re so invested in the char­ac­ters, and then sud­denly this train hits you at the end. It grounded [the film] in real­ity in a lot of ways which made it kind of much more powerful.”


这段有剧透，这该死的作者！

Co-star Chris Cooper felt 9/11 fit with the movie’s theme of loss, and added that direc­tor Allen Coul­ter “went beyond his expec­ta­tions” in how that aspect of the film was handled.
De Ravin agreed and pointed out “this film isn’t based around [9/11], it’s set in 2001 for many rea­sons. (Writer Will Fet­ters felt that year) was sort of one of the last years of inno­cence, in a way, in America.”
While he has no plans to fol­low “Twi­light” co-star Tay­lor Laut­ner into the action movie genre, Pat­tin­son enjoyed get­ting to rough­house a bit in his newest movie. In one mem­o­rably bru­tal scene, Cooper bounces him off the walls of an apartment.
A big box­ing fan, he cops to cry­ing when he saw “Rocky Bal­boa” and dreams of star­ring in his own film about the Sweet Sci­ence. “I’d love to do a box­ing movie,” he says, although he real­izes his younger fans may not want to see him unleash­ing his inner Cin­derella Man.
Much like his char­ac­ter Tyler comes to accept cer­tain aspects of his life, Pat­tin­son seems to have made cer­tain con­ces­sions in regards to the demands of being RPattz. He knows he can’t go any­where in the States with­out being mobbed by fans, such as the ones sta­tioned out­side his Man­hat­tan hotel dur­ing his recent press tour.


这部电影时代选在2001年还有一个重要原因是编剧will觉得那是美国人最后一年纯真。帕丁森竟然喜欢拳击！他那小身板还真看不出来呀。

The actor appears to be tak­ing his cue from “Harry Pot­ter” title player Daniel Rad­cliffe in prepar­ing for life after fan­tasy fran­chise mega-stardom. “Remem­ber Me” is sim­i­lar to the quaint drama “Decem­ber Boys,” which Rad­cliffe selected for his first wizardry-free role in 2007. With chap­ter three in the Twi­light saga, “Eclipse,” arriv­ing in June, Pat­tin­son is quite happy to spend a rare 15 min­utes with­out hav­ing to answer ques­tions relat­ing to Edward or Bella.
Pat­tin­son is also con­tent to share screen time. Upcom­ing projects include the ensem­ble dra­mas “Bel Ami” and “Unbound Cap­tives,” both period pieces. Work­ing with the likes of Uma Thur­man and Hugh Jack­man allows him to improve as an actor, accord­ing to the actor. “I want to work with good peo­ple,” he said, flash­ing a ner­vous smile.
He’s also become more aware of his own increas­ing clout in the indus­try and how to use it. In the pro­duc­tion notes for “Remem­ber Me,” pro­ducer Nicholas Osborne cred­its Pat­tin­son for not back­ing out of the film once “Twi­light” broke, and said the movie prob­a­bly wouldn’t have been made with­out his involvement.


帕丁森接下来的影片有漂亮朋友和解放的囚徒，他说自己喜欢和优秀的演员合作。RM的制片说要是没有rob，这部影片可能根本拍不成。

Of course, there are the unique prob­lems that come with hav­ing one of the world’s most pho­tographed stars on your film set. De Ravin, who knows a lit­tle about devoted fans from her time on “Lost,” says the daily crush of paparazzi and star-crazed teenagers proved quite demand­ing to the pro­duc­tion, which was shot almost com­pletely on loca­tion around New York City.
“Yeah, it was crazy…Even if you’re not look­ing at the hun­dreds of peo­ple watch­ing you, you know they’re watch­ing you. So that sort of gets to you a bit,” she said laugh­ing, before adding, “It’s a chal­lenge to just be able to really focus.”
Pat­tin­son shrugs off the atten­tion, grate­ful to have had even a brief break from Edward Cullen and his rela­tion­ship trou­bles, and every­thing that comes with being the face of a mon­ster franchise.
“(‘Remem­ber Me’) was the one time I’ve ever done some­thing nor­mal,” he said. “It was kind of a relief. Just to be nat­ural for a bit.”


帕丁森无数的疯狂fans给剧组带来的麻烦，让演员没法集中注意力。帕丁森说能演一部正常片正常人让他松了口气，只要自然一些就好。

解放的囚徒，怎么一点消息都没有啊。。。
