Robert Pattinson is one of the biggest heartthrobs starring in films today.  His role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga films turned him into an international star. Since starring in those films, Pattinson has gone on to star in movies such as Remember Me and Water For Elephants, where he gave solid performances.  Pattinson could have easily been pigeonholed in his career for playing the same character for years in films like the Twilight films, however Pattinson told us that starring in the Twilight films was just like any other job.

Before hitting it big in the Twilight films, Robert Pattinson was a young actor finding small parts in films such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and other smaller films. But it was the role of Edward Cullen that made Pattinson a worldwide star. Now that he is done filming all of the Twilight movies, Pattinson is thankful for the doors that the franchise has opened for him, but at the same time it has been tough for him to deal with all that stardom also brings.  (Click on the audio player to hear Robert Pattinson) Twwlight-Robert PAttisnon

The romantic drama, Water for Elephants, based on the beloved novel by Sara Gruen, was released on DVD/Blu-RAY yesterday.  The film is beautiful, and may be one of the most underrated films released this year. The film stars Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon and Twilight star Robert Pattinson.  Both stars gave solid performances, especially Pattinson who carries the film.

Robert Pattinson has devoted several years of his life and career to the “Twilight” movies, but that has essentially come to an end, now that principle photography on the two “Breaking Dawn” films has been completed.

While Pattinson is the first to acknowledge that he owes his career to “Twilight,” he’s also relieved that the series is finished.  Of course, it now frees him up to work on other movies, but Pattinson also admits that working on the five “Twilight” films was a grueling process.

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ opens in theaters on November 18.  In the meantime, you can still catch Pattinson in “Water For Elephants,” which is in theaters now.

Thanks to his starring role in the “Twilight” movies, Robert Pattinson is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood.  But although he gave a good performance in the drama “Remember Me,” it didn’t perform as well as many thought it would have at the box office.  Will Pattinson’s fans follow him aside from “Twilight”?  Will he be able to gain new fans from outside the “Twilight” universe?  We’ll find out the answer this weekend.  Pattinson gives the best performance of his career in the movie “Water For Elephants,” which opens this Friday.  Like “Twilight,” the film is based on a best-selling novel, and Pattinson’s terrific acting job is complemented by compelling performances from Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz.

When we spoke with Pattinson, he talked about working with his other co-star, Rosie the elephant; how he’s feeling more comfortable as an actor; and how he will look back at the “Twilight” movies now that “Breaking Dawn” is almost ready to wrap.  Take a look at the video, and let us know if you’re looking forward to seeing Pattinson in “Water For Elephants.”

Robert Pattinson has booked his first movie after he completes the two-part “Twilight Saga” finale.  According to Deadline.com, Pattinson’s landed the lead role in director David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis,” playing a financial genius who puts his career — and possibly his life — on the line when he bets against Japan’s yen on a turbulent business day.
 
This could be a great role for Pattinson, who recently shot “Water For Elephants” with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz. That film is due to hit theatres April 22.
 
While the role of Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” movies made him a superstar, he hasn’t exactly proven himself outside that franchise.  The drama “Remember Me,” in which he starred with “Lost’s” Emilie de Ravin, grossed less in its entire run than each of the “Twilight” pics made in its first day, so there are certainly those who question his ability to carry a movie on his own.  Only time will tell, and he’ll have his share of chances: Along with “Water For Elephants,” he can be seen in “Bel Ami” (which doesn’t have a release date yet — never a great sign), and of course, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” which arrives on November 17.
