Robert Pattinson on Doing Other Movies than Twilight: “It’s Scary”

So, Robert Pattinson is now a top star, grabbing huge attention all over the globe. His latest movie New Moon broke the box office chart record. The question is, what is next? Is he all prepared to stretch his career beyond Twilight?

Surprisingly he said it was scary to move on beyond Twilight territory.

The 23 year old hunk has been so busy this year, and 2010 may be even more. “I’ve only done one movie outside the ‘Twilight‘ series, ‘Remember Me,’” Rob said. “But even that I did with the same studio, so I guess I’m still a little bit blind as to what my actual economic viability will be outside of the series.”

Undoubtedly, in a few months Remember Me will be on the to-do lists of movie reviewers. That, and the June’s Eclipse.

“I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall next year,” Rob said of the fourth “Twilight” novel, which might be split into two films. “Depending on how things go, I’m doing a movie called ‘Bel Ami’ in February, an adaption to a Guy de Maupassant novel. And I’m doing–I hope–a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called ‘Unbound Captives’ sometime around there as well.”

Already signed on a few movies for the whole next year, Rob said that he would continue to read new scripts and seek other parts that might catch his attention.

He realized that being a famous actor was so much different from the struggling ones. It terrifies him somehow. “You don’t have audition for anything. (But) I don’t want to do a movie just so it gets made. Before ‘Twilight,’ I did any movie that I got (offered), and you’d try and make the best of it afterwards,” he explained. “But now, you’re expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can’t just mess around. People are like, ‘We’re employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.’ It’s difficult, and it’s scary.”
