Rob Talks Cosmopolis, Being An Actor & More - AP
NEW YORK - Robert Pattinson was nearing the end of shooting the last "Twilight" film, concluding a chapter in his life that had plucked him out of near obscurity and was preparing to spit him out... where exactly? "Twilight" had made him extravagantly famous, but his next steps were entirely uncertain.
"Out of the blue," he says came the script for "Cosmopolis" from David Cronenberg, the reversed Canadian director of psychological thrillers ("Videodrome," "Eastern Promises") that pursue the spirit through the body

Rob's Interview With LA Times
Rob talks to Amy Kaufman of the LA Times about fame saying:
“Media culture is a monstrous thing. You can’t win. The annoying thing is that you can’t attack them, but you can’t defend yourself. The best thing you could possibly do is punch a paparazzi and give them their big payday.”
Later in the interview Conenberg reassures Rob that it wasn't Twilight that got him the part but rather the way he handled himself during its overnight success,
“The strength of the ‘Twilight’ movies is not the acting. But it’s not understood that doing ‘Twilight’ requires presence and professionalism. Are you saying this is an Academy Award performance, or Alec Guinness? That’s a whole other discussion. But you throw somebody on a grueling set like that — a normal person would be dead in an hour.”
The media love to portray Rob as this virginal vampire that can't act. It's obviously a sensitive subject for him because he puts so much thought into the character he plays that they become a part of him.
Warming to his own defense, Rob interjected: “With this movie people keep saying, ‘Is this gonna be the movie where he can prove he can act?’ It’s like, ‘What do you think I have been doing?’”
“By the way,” Cronenberg added, “he’s a British guy doing an American accent. People don’t realize that there are a lot of very good actors who cannot do accents, and they don’t give Rob credit for that.”
“Oh, give me anything!” Rob said with a laugh and taking a drag on his cigarette, which glowed an electronic red with each inhale.

On The Road
On The Road The Movie
On The Road Trailer
On The Road
On The Road is a film adaptation of the Jack Kerouac cult classic novel of the same name. It's a French-UK-US co production directed by Walter Salles and starring Sam Riley as Sal Paradise and Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty. Its Executive Producer is Francis Ford Cappola.
This is Kristen's first film since completing her commitments on the final Twilight Movie 'Breaking Dawn Part 2'. Earlier this year, On The Road was brought to Canne Film Festival, where it received a mixture of reviews, however the majority of them were extremely positive. Here is a brief summary I managed to find. Gotta tell you hard to find.
On The Road tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise, a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty, a free spirited, fearless, fast talking Westener, and his girl Mary Lou.
Together Sal and Dean travel across country in a quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them, in search of the unknown themselves, and in pursuit of "it" - the pure essence of experience. Seeking uncharted terrain and the last American frontier the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women. Bull, Camille, Carlo, Jane, Terry and Galatea, each adding meaning to their desire for a new way of life.
As a Kristen Stewart fanatic, having followed her career throughout the Twilight Saga, the role of Mary Lou is the polar opposite of Bella. If there was any doubt that Kristen wouldn't be able to shake off the Twilight tag 'On The Road' most definitely proves a lot of the critics wrong. Just as Rob said at this year's Comic Con, Kristen is one of those actresses that can audition for any role and be absolutely perfect for it.
On The Road At Cannes Film Festival
Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious events in an actor's career. To reveal the movie that you've put every part of yourself into. This was the first time that Kristen would be appearing at Cannes for her role as Mary Lou in 'On The Road'.
Usually one to shy away from public attention, Kristen openly admitted that she thought the reason why she wasn't nervous was because of who she would have standing next to her. It doesn't take a genius to know that the someone she's referring to is Rob. As she walked the red carpet with her 'On The Road' colleagues, Rob was present in the crowd looking proud of his beloved.
This movie is perfect for Kristen, the sheer enjoyment she had whilst filming shines through as she smiled for the cameras. It's a movie she's incredibly proud of and so she should be. 'On The Road' shows Kristen breaking away from the 'Twilight' tag, sometimes it's forgotten that Kristen was just 17 when she first started filming the Saga. Like reported above, 'On The Road' received mixed yet positive reviews. Reviewers are one thing but the reviewers that count are the fans who gather in huge ticket lines to ensure they get the best seats to view this movie, not to mention the thousands of fans who camp outside just so they manage to get tickets to the films exclusive premiere,
