Robert Pattinson Parleys with JLo; Finds 'Twilight' Surmise 'Weird' on Variety's Actors on Actors

Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lopez get Candid on Camera for Actors On Actors.

In their Actors on Actors conversation, Robert Pattinson talked about why he wanted to play Batman and Jennifer Lopez discussed her upcoming Super Bowl performance.

“It’s a weird story, ‘Twilight.’ It’s not just like – it’s strange how people responded a lot to it. I guess the books are very romantic, but at the same time, it’s not like ‘The Notebook’ romantic. ‘The Notebook’ is very sweet and heartbreaking, but ‘Twilight’ is about this guy, and he finds the one girl he wants to be with, and he also wants to eat her. I mean, not eat her, but drink her blood or whatever,” Pattinson said. “It’s not that other people are telling them they can’t be together, it’s his own body telling him that.”

In spite of the fact that the "Twilight" arrangement turned into a worldwide wonder, Pattinson reviews the dangers that the material displayed right off the bat. “With ‘Twilight,’ it wasn’t really an established thing,” Pattinson said. “To me, Catherine Hardwicke who directed it had done this movie called ‘Thirteen’ and this other movie called ‘Lords of Dogtown,’ and they were like little movies. Kind of cool, hardcore movies. And Kristen [Stewart] was in stuff as well, like she’d been in ‘Into the Wild,’ and it was kind of very indie.”

This kind of creative hazard taking falls into place without any issues for Pattinson, who stars in "The Lighthouse." indeed, he guarantees it's the main way he realizes how to function. “It’s not part of my skill set to know what an audience wants, at all. I don’t have it! Not a big audience. I have no idea. But I know what I want, and so the only thing I can really do is try to make a movie that I’d go and see, and chances are there’s going to be at least one other person who’ll want to see it.”
