Interview d'Emilie de Ravin pour le magazine Cosmopolitan d'Avril

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO KISS R PATZ
Lost’s Emily De Ravin, 28, locks lips with RP in her new film, but says work comes second. Job swap, anyone?

*Tell us about the finest men you’ve worked with – included Johnny Deep and Robert Patinson…

- Johnny Deep is one of my favorite actors. When we met on Public Enemies he was genuinely nice. The Lost guys are too, and Robert Pattinson couldn’t be more of a great guy. He’s insanely talented, but I don’t even think he knows that.

*Were you intrigued to be working with him after all the Twilight publicity?

-I didn’t really know who he was! I’ve never been a tabloid reader or a person who follows what somebody is going to the grocery store for.

*You can’t have escaped the Twilight phenomenon though?
-The fan base is wonderful. But shooting with Rob in New York was crazy. There were girls climbing all over him, which did make things difficult. He’d been through it all before but it was very new to me. Because the majority of fans were teenage girls. I felt like, ‘Oh, God, they all hate me.’ You walk out and they’re like, ‘Who’s this girl with the guy we’re here to see?’ but then they saw me smiling, and they we’re like ‘Oh she’s actually nice!’

*You got to kiss Rob too…

-That was a very spontaneous thing actually, which tabloid-wise came out as us making out on the beach, but really we were filming.

*And now you have to say he’s a good kisser, right?

-(Laughs) It’s in contract, yes.

*You split from your husband of three years last year. Are you happily single or looking for love again?

-I don’t talk about that stuff anymore- I’ve learnt my lesson! But I think in any situation, the important thing is having people around you that love and care about and respect you. People you can be open and honest about everything with.

*What’s best about your life?

-Happiness for me is spending time with my friends and family. I love my career but my family comes first and I’m lucky that I’m close to them. I try to get back to Australia at least twice a year. It’s great when I see them.

*You’ve been in Hawaii filming the final season of Lost – Hollywood must be pretty manic in comparison?

Yeah, but I’m such a homebody –I don’t like go to shopping where I know the paparazzi will be and I don’t eat in those kind of restaurants so you won’t see me dancing on tables or falling over outside clubs. I love staying at home with my girlfriends, watching a funny film like ‘Heathers.’

QUICK-FIRE QUESTIONS

*Ever been chatted up by another celeb?

-No!

*Who is the most famous person in you phone?

-I guess Rob’s is the obvious choice.

*Any red-carpet disasters?

-No, thanks God. But my tip would be please, whatever you’re wearing, wear underwear!

*What scares you?

-Mostly meeting people on your first day of work.

*What’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought in the past 12 month?

-I’m buying my mum a laptop so we can Skype to each other.

-Je ne savais pas qui il était ! Je n'ai jamais lu les tabloids ou une personne qui suit ce que font les stars dans les épiceries du coin

*Vous filmez la dernière saison de Lost – Hollywood doit être super différent par contraste?

Oui mais j'aime être chez moi –Je n'aime pas aller faire du shopping là où je sais que seront les paparazzi et je ne mange pas dans ces restaurants donc vous ne me verrez pas danser sur les tables ou aller dans des clubs.

-Non!

*Quel est la personne la plus célèbre dans votre répertoire téléphonique?

*Qu'est ce qui vous fait peur?

-La plupart du temps, rencontrer les gens pour la 1ère journée de tournage .

*Quelle est la chose la plus onéreuse que vous ayez acheté depuis un an?

-j'ai acheté à ma mère un ordinateur portable afin que nous puissions communiquer avec Skype.

The teen heartthrob proves there’s more to life than ‘Twilight’ as he talks to Time Out about his ‘serious’ indie romance, ‘Remember Me’
The hum of nervous excitement buzzing around Robert Pattinson’s hotel suite this morning is such that you half expect him to walk out with golden skin and alarmingly sharp teeth. But in the flesh, the ‘Twilight’ star is warm, earnest and posher than you might imagine, with something of the teenage schoolboy to him, even down to the frayed cuffs on his jacket. In our closely monitored chat (20 minutes! No questions about Kristin!) Pattinson talks about his role as chain-smoking student loser Tyler Hawkins in the US indie movie ‘Remember Me’, about creating ‘mystique’ as an actor and about sucking blood off his co-star’s lip.

You looked scared stiff when you were handing out a Bafta award last month. Are you getting shyer?‘I think I am, yeah! The more interviews you do, the more stuff you say to people. You suddenly get worried that people are more likely to judge you. If no one knows anything about you, then you can say whatever you want - and just contradict yourself later. But the more contradictions you make, the scope gets narrower as to what you can say before people get pissed off.’

Where does ‘Remember Me’ fit into the ‘Twilight’ craziness?
‘I’d read tons of scripts after the first “Twilight” movie and this was one of maybe two that I liked. I didn’t work for the whole year after “Twilight”. What did I do? Nothing! [Laughs] It was really nice. I was still so used to hanging around most of the time when I was in England. And now that I’ve been working a lot, I can’t imagine going a month without fretting. So now, I’m doing job-to-job-to-job. Which is a dangerous thing to do because you have a film coming out every three months. It’s over-saturation. You have to work a bit on creating some kind of mystique.’

Mystique? Is that what you feel you need? Or what you feel people want?‘I see people who are in newspapers and magazines all the time. If they’re in every single week, I’m far less interested in their movies. So, yeah, I am always a little bit wary.’

Spoiler:

Your new film ‘Remember Me’ is set in the summer of 2001. Did you have any reservations about fictionalising 9/11? ‘When I first read it, I didn’t think it was contentious. I thought it flowed organically; it’s anchored in reality. It hit hard for me so I wanted to portray the same emotions that I felt the first time I read it. I’m terrified of people thinking it’s manipulative. I read the script and I felt this should be made.’

You get beaten up a lot in ‘Remember Me’. Was it fun to act like a real person for a change?
‘Yeah, it’s always enjoyable smashing things up. I guess that’s one of the funniest things about it - from the first fight, which is such a severe beating, there are all these wounds on his face, for two thirds of the movie [laughs].’

And then your screen girlfriend [Emilie de Ravin] kisses you and she’s got a split lip…
‘There was a big moment, which is in the script, where there’s a kind of kinkiness with the cut in her lip but that got cut from the movie – where I’m sucking a little bit of blood off it [laughs]. I think it was a little bit too weird.’

Is this your first sex scene?
‘No. My first sex scene was in “Little Ashes” when I was about 21, and it was with a guy. And I’m supposed to have a kind of nervous breakdown in the middle of it as well. So that was a nice introduction to it!’

Do you feel like you have something to prove, ‘Twilight’ having been so bankable? ‘I think people are really harsh about anything that becomes successful. It’s really weird. I was looking at this article about “Little Ashes”. “He still hasn’t proved his box office potential. ‘Little Ashes’ bombed.” Could it have been the gay theme? Or, er, the fact that it was only released in 16 cinemas?’

There’s a lot of fags, booze and sex in this movie. What about your younger fans?‘That’s the least of my concerns. I think it’s so ridiculous, people putting pressure on the arts. I think parents should be the ones who teach kids. The more you try to hide things like that, the more exciting and appealing they are. [Grins] The abstinence movement is only a reaction to everybody being so obsessed with sex for the past 20 years and it being so open to everyone. It’s crazy to think that young people, when their hormones are most raging, that they’re suddenly like, “Oh, I don’t want any of that.”’

You’re currently filming ‘Bel Ami’ with Uma Thurman. You play a real swine.‘I thought it was one of the funniest scripts I’d ever read. When they made the movie in the ’50s with Angela Lansbury, they had to change the story. The novel is about this guy who screws everybody over and seduces all these women and completely gets away with everything. And in the first film, they had to have him shot because they thought that audiences wouldn’t be able to accept it. In this one it’s the total opposite. This guy is a complete arsehole, so arrogant and stubborn and self-righteous about everything. He remains an arsehole to the end and everyone congratulates him for it.’

‘Remember Me’ opens on Apr 2.

e beau gosse prouve qu'il y a une vie après Twilight et il a discuté avec Time Out de son film indépendant très sérieux Remember Me.

L'excitation autour de la suite de Robert Pattinson est telle que vous vous attendez à ce qu'il sorte en brillant et qu'il sorte ses canines. Mais en vrai , il est chaleureux , sincère et plus chic que vous ne pouvez imaginer. Il a un air d'étudiant. Pendant notre entrevue de 20 minutes ( aucune question sur kristen) , Patttinson nous parle de son rôle d'étudiant pardu qui fume comme un pompier, Tyler Hawkins, dans Remember. Il nous a aussi parlé du côté mystique de l'acteur et embrasser sa collègue.

Vous avez l'air assez tendu lorsque vous avez remis un prix aux BAFTAS le mois dernier? Etes vous de plus en plus réservé?
Oui, plus vous faites d'interviews, plus vous dites des choses aux gens . Et vous avez peur que les gens vous jugent. Si personne ne vous connait , alors vous pouvez dire ce que vous voulez – et vous contredire ensuite. Mais plus vous vous contredisez et plus l'étaut se reserre avant que les gens en aient marre.

Quelle est la place de Remember Me dans la folie Twilight?
J'ai lu le script après twilight et c'est l'un des deux que j'ai aimé. Après Twilight je n'ai rien fait pendant un an. Qu'avez vous fait? Rien ( rires) C'était sympa et je me baladais incognito la plupart du temps en Angleterre. Et maintenant que je travaille beaucoup , je n'imagine pas un mois où je ne me plainds pas. J'enchaîne les rôles , ce qui est dangereux car tous les 3 mois un film sort et il pourrait y avoir de la saturation. Vous devez travailler votre côté mystique.

Mystique? Vous en avez besoin ? Ou pensez vous que les gens veuillent ça?
Je vois des gens qui sont dans le journal ou dans les magazines chaque semaine et de ce fait, je ne m'intéresse pas à leur films. Donc oui je susi prudent

Spoiler:

Votre film se déroule en été 2001. Aviez vous des réserves à parler du 11/09? Quand j'ai lu le script la 1ère fois , je n'ai pas vu de controverse. Je pensais que c'était ancré dans la réalité. Ce fut assez dur pour moi donc je voulais faire ressentir ces émotions que j'ai ressenti en lisant le script. Je suis terrifié par les gens qui trouvent que c'est une manipulation. J'ai lu le scriot et j'ai pensé qu'il fallait le faire.

Vous avez des raclées dans ce film? Ca vous a fait du bien de jouer un personnage réel?
Oui j'aime réduire les choses en miettes et je trouve ça amusant. Pour la 1ère baston où je suis sacrément amoché et j'ai des contusions pendant les 2/3 du film . (rires)

Votre fiancée à l'écran ( Emilie de Ravin) vous embrasse et vous vous avez la lèvre amochée ..
Il y a ce moment important, qui est dans le script, où on voit ce baiser avec ma lèvre coupée, qui a été coupé au montage, et on voit ma lèvre saignait légérement (rires) , c'était assez étrange.

Est ce votre première scène de sexe?
Non , ma 1ère scène de sexe fut pour Little Ashes. J'avais 21 ans et c'était une scène gay. ET je dois avoir une crise de nerf pendant celle ci. Donc ce fut une première sympatique.

Pensez vous avoir quelque chose à prpuver car depuis Twilight vous êtes 'bankable'?
Je pense que les gens sont très durs envers ce qui a du succès. C'est étrange. Je lisais cet article sur Little Ashes " Il n'a pas encore prouvé son potentiel au box office. " Etait ce à cause de la thématique homosexuelle ou parce qu'il a été diffusé dans 16 cinémas?

Il y a beaucoup de débauches , d'alcool et de sexe dans ce film. Et vos plus jeunes fans?
C'est le cadet de mes soucis. C'est ridicule de mettre la pression de la sorte. Je pense que c'est le rôle des parents d'éduquer leur enfants. Plus vous leur cahcer ces choses , plus ça les attire. L'abstinence n'est qu'un mouvement en réponse à ceux qui parlent tant de sexe. C'est fou de penser que les jeuenes gens, quand leurs hormones sont en ébulition, se disne tout à coup " oh non , je neveux pas de ça".

Vous tournez actuellement Bel Ami avec Uma Thurman. Vous êtes dedans un sacré salaud.
Je pense que c'est l'un des scripts les plus marrants que j'ai jamais lu. Quand il ont tourné le film dans les années 50 avec Anna Lansbury, ils ont dû faire des changements. C'est l'hisoire d'un homme qui grimpe l'échelle sociale en séduisant ces femmes. Et dans le 1er film , ils ont dû le fusiller car ils pensaient que le public ne pourrait pas supporter autrement. Là c'est l'inverse. C'est un salaud , arrogant et borné. Il reste ainsi à la fin et tout le monde le félicite.

Bonne questions,belles réponses

Interview d'Emilie pour "The Independent" :

With her new film, Emilie de Ravin has hit the jackpot. Not only does she get to cavort in steamy scenes with heartthrob du jour Robert Pattinson (OMG! RPattz!) in Remember Me, but she gets to bask in the heat of a talked-about movie that, without Pattinson's involvement, may have been another under-the-radar romantic drama.

Pattinson's first project since the unprecedented success of the Twilight films sees him as an angry rich kid – sans creepy vampire makeup – who falls in love with a ballsy young philosophy student, played by de Ravin. At 28 – five years Pattinson's senior – she is still girlish enough to pass for 21.

You'll most likely recognise the Australian actress de Ravin as the young mother Claire in Lost (currently in its explosive sixth series on Sky1), but her association with Pattinson has catapulted her into the celebrity weeklies.



When we meet in New York, where the film is set, a blizzard is raging outside the hotel window. Like Pattinson, she seems embarrassed about her success, shrugging off compliments and rolling her eyes at talk of fans and paparazzi. "I get recognised," she says with a dismissive wave, "but I'm not the sort of person who frequents popular clubs. I try to keep out of that."

De Ravin is part of a new breed of celebrity – like Pattinson and his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart – who shun the glamour and adulation that many see as a perk of the job. When de Ravin slouched onto the red carpet at the London premiere of Remember Me recently, grinning awkwardly in her black Oscar de la Renta mini-dress, she and Pattinson looked as though they would rather be anywhere else.

Despite their 'I'm-so-normal' façade, journalists are warned not to ask about their private lives on pain of death. A hovering publicist peers up from her BlackBerry at the mere hint of a personal question to de Ravin (it could be worse: no less than three handlers accompany Pattinson during his interview). But this much we know: she married the American actor Josh Janowicz in June 2006 after being together for four years. The couple separated last year, but are rumoured to have reunited.

"Love is such an objective thing," she says, in a suitably vague answer to a necessarily vague question about love. "I mean, I can say I love my family, or I love my Diet Coke," she continues, gesturing towards her Coke can. "So I guess, in different ways, yeah, I do believe in love."

But in terms of relationships?

"It's different with every person. It depends if it... clicks. It's chemistry."

Either way, if she's in love when we meet, there is no ring on her finger. Of course she was romantically linked to Pattinson during filming, but RPattz could star opposite Ellen DeGeneres and there would be rumours. Having said that, the young stars' on-screen chemistry is undeniable. Viewers will be surprised to learn they met just one week before filming commenced.

"She's really cool," says Pattinson, pushing back his James Dean-esque mane, when we meet later that afternoon. "She was actually the last girl we saw and she was cast on the day of her audition, so we went straight out to a bar. It was so close to filming that we didn't have time to rehearse. But she got it right from the beginning, so it was easy."

De Ravin agrees that the best preparation was getting to know each other. "Our relationship in the film is intense," she nods. "We spent a lot of time together, talking about our characters and their relationship, because it's so important to be comfortable together. Then, when we were actually shooting, everything fell into place and felt natural. It didn't ever feel like we were reading a scene or going through the motions."

Watching Pattinson brooding or de Ravin screaming at her on-screen father (Chris Cooper), I have to ask: did they manage to have any fun on set?

"If you're getting ready to do a really emotional scene then, right before it, you're probably not going to be outside playing basketball," she shrugs. "But everybody involved was passionate about it so there was a good vibe."

Having not spent much time in New York before landing the role, de Ravin has now fallen in love with the city. "New York is a character in the film," she smiles, either not noticing or not caring what a cliché that is. "It was great to be able to walk around the city on days off. And it's so rare to be able to shoot in the real locations. When we have dinner, we were actually in The Oak Room and when we were doing a scene in the house Ally [her character] grew up in, that was in Queens."

Of course, the downside of shooting around the city is that Twilight fans and paparazzi had easy access to locations.

"It was distracting at times," admits de Ravin. "We shot 90 per cent on location in Manhattan or Queens so it was very accessible. It's not like they can close down Central Park. So it was difficult for Rob and I to figure out the logistics of a rehearsal when you've got thousands of people watching. Even if you're not looking at them, you're aware of it. It can be hard to focus."

It must have been a very different experience from filming Lost in the relative seclusion of Hawaii. As we speak, de Ravin is about to finish shooting the final season of the hit show. Can she tell us anything about how it ends? Do they ever get off that bloody island?

"I honestly don't know," she laughs. "We're filming the next episode in a few days and I don't even have that script yet. But that's the same with every show on TV. With films, you have time to read the script properly and rehearse. You can develop a back-story and, by the time you start shooting, you know everything you need to. That's one of the many things I love about film in comparison to TV."

Although de Ravin clearly yearns for a film career, you can't help feeling that she isn't really cut out for Hollywood. Ask her where home is and she says emphatically: "Temporary home is LA. But home home is Melbourne."

What does she miss most about it? "Everything," she sighs wistfully. "Walking around the city and the gardens and the restaurants. I don't get home as much as I would like to. There's a lot of downtime on Lost, so I might have three weeks off, but you never know in advance if you might be needed. I miss my family so much, my ideal holiday is just to hang out with them. I'm kind of a homebody. I like to sit at home and watch movies and eat good food."

De Ravin is no stranger to film, having starred in 2005's high-school noir Brick, alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and the 2006 horror The Hills Have Eyes (tagline: "The Lucky Ones Die First"). So she's no red carpet virgin; it's just that it's not really her natural home.

"Once in a while it's fun to dress up for a premiere," she shrugs. "But I'm not someone that's going to stick on heels and a dress every day. Shopping stresses me out."

What about staying in shape? Her impressive abs are on display in Remember Me. She must work out?

"No, I don't really do anything. I'm not very fit."

Just good genes then?

"Yeah. Thanks mum."

So there you go: Emilie de Ravin is a study in laid-back cool. One of that frustrating breed of beautiful I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-and-this-is-how-I-look people. A lot like Robert Pattinson in fact. So, when she was filming scenes with RPattz, who spent the most time on their hair?

She explodes with laughter: "Oh come on! Totally Rob," she grins, before shaking her head at the ridiculousness of the question and, more seriously, adding, "Neither one of us really did much. It was just like... " she mimes messing up her hair with devil-may-care nonchalance.

Then she shrugs again.

Pierce Brosnan impressed by fan-magnet Robert


Pierce Brosnan has revealed his 'Remember Me' co-star Robert Pattinson was pursued by beautiful girls on set every day.

The former James Bond star - who plays Robert's estranged father in the gripping family drama - had to make do with older admirers while the 23-year-old heartthrob soaked up the attention of screaming teenagers.

Pierce, who shot the movie with Robert in New York, told Empire magazine: "I remember being outside the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. We were shooting in the Oak Room and there were 2,000 girls out there from 12 to 21. Actually, there were some gorgeous looking girls out there, but they weren't around my caravan. I had the mothers at my end and some beauties there were too! But it was very sedate by my end of the motor homes. I'd walk out and get a hearty cheer. I'd trip up the steps of the Plaza feeling very good with myself that I still have the juice. But as I'd be walking down the corridors into the Plaza I would hear this wave, this cacophony of sound as girls clamoured for Robert. His girls go through the rafters for him."

The 56-year-old star thinks Robert - who has become an international heartthrob after playing vampire Edward Cullen in the 'Twilight' movies - will be able to handle his enormous fame, but he personally finds it almost incomprehensible.

He added: "I never experienced anything like that as a young man of 23. I'm sure he'll weather the waters swimmingly. He's a grand lad and I wish him well in every way."

Pierce Brosnan impressionné par l'aimant à fans qu'est Robert


Pierce Brosnan a révélé que Robert Pattinson était poursuivi par des hordes de filles sur le tournage chaque jour.

L'ancien James Bond- qui incarne le père de Robert dans ce drame familiale – a dû se contenter des fans plus âgées tandis que le beau gosse de 23 ans était le cintre d'intérêt des adolescentes.

Pierce, qui a tourné avec Robert à New York, a dit au Empire magazine: "Je me souviens avoir été en dehors du Plaza Hotel de Manhattan. Nous tournions dans la Oak Room et il y avait 2,000 filles ( de 12 à 21 ans). En fait , il y avait de jolies jeunes filles ,mais pas autour de ma caravane . J'avais les mères mais elles étaient belles aussi ! Mais c'était calme dans mon coin. Je me baladais le coeur léger . Je montais les marches du Plaza me sentant bien car je me disais que j'avais encore la côte. Mais quand je suis sorti du Plaza j'ai entendu ce grondement , cette cacophonie pour Robert. Ses fans seraient prêtes à tout pour lui."

La star de 56 ans pense que Robert saura gérer cette célébrité , même s'il la trouve incompréhensible.

Il ajoute : "Je n'ai jamais vécu ce qu'il vit à 23 ans . Je suis sûr qu'il surmontera tout ça . Il est génial et je lui souhaite le meilleur pour la suite."

Tate Ellington parle de Robert dans une interview avec "The Oxford Eagle" :

Q: Tell us a little about auditioning for “Remember Me” to being on set to now seeing it on the big screen.

A: The audition process for “Remember Me” was a nightmare. I had to go in four separate times over the course of a few months. The first time I went in I didn’t think I was right for the part, I had only read half the script and I forgot my sides. I was off to a great start. I was told that I had done great, but they were going to try and find a “name” in L.A. If they didn’t find a name then I would be in the running. I figured that was it, and put it out of my mind. A month later, I got a call that I would be coming back in for the director. I thought the director hated me. I thought I was doing so badly that I almost got and apologized for wasting everybody’s time. Turns out he loved me. A few weeks later I went to meet Rob and do a screen test with him. Luckily, I was performing on Broadway at the time so I could relax a little bit because I new I had a paycheck. Rob was great! The screen test went wonderfully. The director and producer loved me, but Summit still wasn’t sold. I had to go back in a few later to sort of hash out what I would do with the character. The director fought for me and eventually I got the job. It is strange to see it out there. It is completely out of your hands now. It’s an odd feeling. I am extremely proud to have been a part of it. I have read most of the comments and reviews about it. I am so thankful that they love it or hate it — that people are actually talking about it. I love that people actually have an opinion about it and a strong one at that.

Tate Ellington parle de Robert dans une interview avec "The Oxford Eagle"

Q: Parlez nous un peu de votre audition pour “Remember Me” , du tournage et de voir le voir sur les écrans

A: L'audition pour “Remember Me” fut un cauchemar . J'ai dû passer 4 auditions en quelques mois . La 1ère fois que j'y suis allé, je ne pensais pas que j'étais fait pour le rôle , je n'avais lu que la moitié du script et j'avais oublié mon texte . Ce fut génial dès le départ . On m'a dit que ce que j'avais fait était génial , mais ils allaient tenté de trouver une star à L.A. S'ils ne trouvaient pas , alors je serais en lice . Je pensais que c'était fichu et j'ai oublié ce projet . Un mois plus tard , j'ai eu un coup de fil me demandant d'aller voir le réalisateur . Je pensais qu'il me détestait. Je pensais tellement avoir foiré que je m'étais presque excusé de leur avoir fait perdre du temps . Il se trouve qu'il m'adorait . Quelques semaines plus tard, je suis allé rencontrer Rob et j'ai fait un test avec lui . Heureusement c'était à Broadway et je pouvais me détendre car je savais que j'avais un salaire . Rob fut génial ! Le test s'est passé à merveille . Le réalisateur et le producteur m'adoraient , mais Summit n'y croyait toujours pas . J'ai dû y retourner quelques semaines plus tard pour les convaincre de ce que je ferais pour le personnage. Le réalisateur s'est battu pour moi et j'ai enfin eu le rôle . C'est bizarre de voir ça . Aujourd'hui de le voir sur écran maintenant . c'est un sentiment étrange mais je suis fier d'en faire partie . J'ai lu la plupart des commentaires et des critiques . Je suis reconnaissant qu'ils aiment ou qu'ils détestent — les gens au moins en parlent . J'adore que les gens aient une opinion, aussi forte soit elle.

ah . Tate est vraiment génial dans ce rôle! Il apporte la touche d'humour nécessaire au film

Pierce Brosnan parle de Robert dans une interview avec "Herald.ie" :

BYRNE: You co-star with Robert Pat­tin­son in Remem­ber Me and with Carey Mul­li­gan in The Great­est, both hot young stars. Coin­ci­dence, or are you keen to get down with the kids?

BROSNAN: I think both Robert and Carey are excep­tional when it comes to young actors, in that they’re more than just pin-ups or flavours of the month. You can sense in both of them a strong desire to do good work. I don’t think either one is try­ing to get by on their looks; they’re both look­ing for work that’s a lit­tle more chal­leng­ing than that. And it’s always a won­der­ful feel­ing, being around peo­ple who are com­pletely in love with what they’re doing.

BYRNE: Hav­ing lived with fame for quite some time now, did you have any advice for the belea­guered young Robert when it came to deal­ing with all those scream­ing teens?

BROSNAN: I think Robert knows that there’s very lit­tle he can do right now except put the head down and work. It’s not exactly fun, hav­ing that kind of crazed atten­tion. It might be flat­ter­ing at first, but the nov­elty soon wears off

Pierce Brosnan parle de Robert dans une interview avec "Herald.ie" :

BYRNE: Vous jouez avec Robert Pat­tin­son dans Remem­ber Me et Carey Mul­li­gan dans The Great­est, deux jeunes stars sexy. Coin­ci­dence, ou voulez vous tourner avec des jeunes gens?

BROSNAN: Je pense que Robert et Carey sont exceptionnels en tant que jeunes acteurs , ils ne sont pas que des pin-ups ou la folie du mois . Chez eux , vous sentez cette envie forte de bien faire . Je pense qu'ils ne veulent pas réussir grâce à leur apparence ; ils cherchent des rôles qui sont un défi . ET c'est toujours un merveilleux sentiment 'être au côté de gens qui adorent ce qu'ils font.

BYRNE: Etant célèbre depuis pas mal de temps , avez vous des conseils pour le jeune Robert pour gérer toutes ces fans qui hurlent?

BROSNAN: Je pense que Robert sait qu'il n'y a rien d'autre à faire que de baisser la tête et travailler dur . Ce n'est pas marrant d'avoir toute cette folie, cette atten­tion autour de vous . C'est d'abord flatteur , puis la nouveauté passée, ça vous agace un peu

Robert Pattinson Getting Last Laugh For 'Remember Me'

Pretty boy “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson got a little roughed up by the film critics for his movie “Remember Me,” with Emilie de Ravin. But Rob may be getting the last laugh now that the box office numbers are rolling in.

“Remember Me,” about a troubled youth attempting to deal with tragedy, is slowly working its way around the world, opening in such far flung country as Argentina and Australia.

So far, the film has grossed $45.7 million at the box office, which obviously isn’t anything close to 3-D blockbuster “Avatar’s” billion dollar plus take. But “Remember Me” only cost $16 million to bring to the big screen.

Experts predict the film could do as much as $60 million worldwide, when all is said and done. In relative terms, that makes it a box office success, (Kate: YAY) especially for a film that received lackluster reviews, mainly for the plot.

Rob felt a special connection to the film and felt it was something that had to be made. But the shear force of his popularity is probably driving the numbers.

Pattinson stars as Tyler Hawkins, who lives in posh Manhattan but is estranged from his successful father (Pierce Brosnan). Tyler is alienated and resentful, but he soon finds someone he can relate to. (Emilie de Ravin).

The film also includes Lena Olin, Ruby Jerins, Chris Cooper and Tate Ellington. “Remember Me” was directed by Allen Coulter from a screenplay by Will Fetters, and they are getting most of the bad press.

In its worldwide trek, the film opened in Argentina, France and other European countries this past weekend, and was a hit in Paris. It came in at No. 6 in the City of Light, which is not bad for an American film.

The drama’s international weekend take was $4.7 million at 2,302 screens in 36 territories, bringing its international box office to $27 million.

The film made back its money before even going overseas. So far it has grossed $18.7 million in North America, bringing the total to $45.7 million.

The film’s top foreign markets before last weekend’s openings were surprisingly Russia ($3.15m), Italy, ($2.35m), Germanyn ($1.9m), Brazil, ($1.71) the UK/Ireland ($1.5m) (Kate: Whoo hoo!!! Sorry :-}) and Australia ($1.21m).

Going foward, the film will open in several other countries, from Chile in South America to Turkey. (Kate: Yay Goz, you'll finally get to see it)

And it has yet to open in several top Asian markets, such as China, Japan, and South Korea.

All in all, not a bad showing for a small indie film, and Rob’s first outing as a lead in a movie outside of the “Twilight” series — and without Kristen Stewart.

Rob will be back in vampire form, in June when the latest “Twilight” installment “Eclipse” is released.
