New interview, by Irish Times

Four years ago Robert Pattinson's vignette in Vanity Fair hit the cutting room floor. Now he's set to become one of the actors of the decade, taking the lead in the phenomenally successful vampire love flick, Twilight, and playing Cedric Diggory in the upcoming Harry Potter. It's all happened so fast, he tells Donald Clarke

HERE IS a sad story. Four years ago, Robert Pattinson, then just 18, secured a role in Mira Nair's lavish adaptation of Vanity Fair. When the night came for the premiere, he slapped down his unruly hair, polished his shoes and stepped out proudly for Leicester Square.

"It was my first real job," he says with a wry smile. "I went along to the premiere, but nobody had told me that I had been cut out. I didn't realise until the film ended." Happily, the story has a jolly coda.

"The casting agent was the same one who did Harry Potter. They felt so bad about it they gave me an early meeting for the next Harry Potter film. And that went well." Indeed it did. As 2009 looms, 22-year-old Robert Pattinson finds himself teetering on the brink of full-blown stardom. That meeting with the Harry Potter people went so smoothly that he secured the role of Cedric Diggory - doomed rival of the hero at the Triwizard Tournament - in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The odd TV job and the occasional independent film followed. Then, early this year, he secured the role of Edward Cullen, teenage vampire, in the film version of Stephenie Meyer's hugely popular Twilight.

"I didn't even know there was a book series of that name," he says.

"This vampire love story thing? I had zero idea about it. It all came out of nowhere. Then they said the books had sold 25 million. I thought: 'is that a lot, 25 million worldwide?' I really didn't know."

Robert Pattinson Pulled a Muscle Lifting Kristen Stewart

Robert Pattinson pulled a muscle when he lifted up his co-star Kristen Stewart.
The pair star together in new vampire flick Twilight.
But Pattinson insists that, unlike his character in the movie, he doesn't have superhuman strength.
He reveals, "There was a moment where I pulled my hamstring when I was lifting Kristen up.
"That was very superhero like - or not. It was funny but I was so embarrassed, especially because I was surrounded by all these super cool stunt guys."

Sandra Hall, of the Sydney Morning Herold reviewed Twilight:

EDWARD CULLEN is a vampire who likes to think of himself as a vegetarian. On this novel premise, Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight, has launched a publishing juggernaut. Her series of supernatural romances has hooked teenage readers the world over. But even before Twilight was published, a savvy group of American producers bought the screen rights. Now, with the film's successful release in the US, they've realised they have the makings of that prized box-office commodity: a franchise.

But back to the vegetarian vampire who hasn't extinguished his blood lust in favour of prune juice. He has made an impressive sacrifice in restricting his diet to animal blood.

And at the same site got an article about the Twilight stars:

IT'S less than a cult but more than just a fan base. They gathered in wet, wintry Oregon almost 12 months ago to steal glimpses of the film that would put what they had imagined on the big screen. The film of the book is Twilight, now a four-part, international best-seller about the adventures of Isabella Swan and her pale but interesting friends, the Cullens, and specifically, Edward Cullen, the eternally teenaged dreamboat with a sculpted hairdo. The interest of those observers was less curious than proprietorial.

Twilight Stars Riled Over Director's Firing: Pattinson & Stewart reportedly bugged by Catherine Hardwicke's exit

Twilight is in turmoil. The movie’s two hot young stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, are reportedly fuming that studio Summit Entertainment has abruptly dumped director Catherine Hardwicke as the sequel, New Moon, is gearing up to shoot.

"[Rob and Kristen] are both very upset," a source told the Chicago Sun Times Dec. 11. "They are committed to doing at least the next 'Twilight' film -- and the one after that -- but they really wanted to do them with Catherine."
