Entertainment Tonight November 5th, 2008

For all Buffy’s efforts, vampires have been sinking their teeth ever deeper into Generation W’s pop culture. To a spate of hugely profitable books and HBO’s True Blood, add this month’s Twilight, a movie based on Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster saga, which has sold millions of copies in the U.S. alone. As starlet Kristen Stewart plays the mortal innocent to Robert Pattinson’s undead rebel, the author explores the buried messages of this bloodsucking invasion.

Robert Pattinson, 22, plays Edward Cullen, a young, non-human-preying vampire and Bella Swan’s love interest. He fights James’s coven of vampires in order to protect Bella from being bitten. Pattinson starred as Cedric Diggory in both Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and played a young Salvador Dalí in the independent film Little Ashes.

VF Daily: Had you read the Twilight books before getting the script?
Robert Pattinson: Not in their entirety before getting the script, no. I did my screen test, had the weekend before my next meeting for it, and read all three over one weekend.

What was your impression of the books at first?
Well, I obviously really liked them, but it is always strange reading a book knowing that I am hopefully going to play the part. It’s read in a very different context.

Did you go into the auditions wanting to play Edward?
Somewhat, but I was literally embarrassed walking into the audition. I had no idea how to play Edward at all. I thought that even going into the audition was completely pointless, because they were just going to cast a model or something. I felt it was kind of arrogant of me to even go in. I was almost having a full-on panic attack before I went to the screen test.

How did the screen test go?
Casting was really easy going, and Kristen [Stewart] is also very cool, but at the same time there is something very, very serious about her. I really wasn’t expecting the girl who plays Bella to be like her at all. Her professionalism made me keep my mouth shut whenever I wasn’t acting. It further gave the illusion of being serious.

15 days left…

Or should I say: Only 15 days left. This is the home stretch, “Twilight” fans. In celebration, here’s Part 1 of our Robert Pattinson fan special. I did my best to cram as many of the questions all of you submitted into the interview, and I must say, he was a pretty good sport….

You guys wanted to know what he put in his hair — I asked him. You guys wanted to know about filming the love scenes with Kristen — he revealed that Kristen’s got one heck of a dark side!

Of course, I did not get to all of the questions. There were hundreds. But if you don’t see it answered here, know that there’s still Part 2 coming, and I’ll have a chance to ask a few more at the press junket this Saturday, so do stay tuned!

As you can see, he had a serious case of the giggles Tuesday morning:

What goes through your mind when you’re greeted by crowds of screaming fans?

You’ve spent the past year keeping a close eye on MTV and our “Twilight” Tuesday series, eager for the very latest in news about Stephenie Meyer’s underground vampire franchise. Now, just weeks before “Twilight” hits theaters (and as we publish our final ” ‘Twilight’ Stars Answer Fans’ Burning Questions,”) the phenomenon is finally breaking through to the mainstream – and MTV is eager to celebrate with our Twilighter friends.

MTV News will be holding a very special “Twilight” event in Los Angeles on November 7th, as we tape a television special celebrating the much-anticipated movie. “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and director Catherine Hardwicke will be in attendance to address the crowd, and they’ll premiere never-before-seen footage from the movie some two weeks before it hits theaters. Hardwicke will also take questions from attendees during a Q & A session.

What do Pattinson and Edward have in common? “I always get carried away when I’m kissing people,” Pattinson quipped. “I think you’re making their night right now,” Hardwicke joked.

For all the swooning, declarations of love, and marriage proposals proffered last night, it would have been easy to imagine oneself in the midst of a French restaurant on Valentine’s Day — instead of the gray-walled mezzanine of a New York City Apple store. But that’s just the effect Twilight star Robert Pattinson has on his rabid teen — and adult — fans, some of whom waited in line for more than 12 hours to be dazzled by the heartthrob during a Q&A session with Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke.

I’ve been to enough Twilight events to know what to expect: screaming girls — lots of them. Though this wasn’t my first time at the vampire rodeo, even I was worried about one young Twilight-hoodie-bedecked teen sitting behind me, who was shaking so violently I thought she might go in to convulsions. And as if to work her and her fellow acolytes into even more of a frenzy, the 22-year-old Pattinson arrived a fashionable 15 minutes late — and with his signature tousled tresses covered by a gray beanie (a development that left me a wee bit disappointed). However, it took just one shy “hello” from the Brit for any tardy transgressions to be quickly forgotten.

Attention Team Jacobers: We haven’t forgotten about you! Sure, we’re interviewing Twilight’s Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), but we know how to play fair. We’re also having a sit down this week with everyone’s favorite wolfboy, Taylor Lautner, and we need all your hair-raising questions. Want to know how Sharkboy and Jacob are similar? Been wondering how the 5’9” Lautner will be able to fill the shoes of the almost-seven-foot behemoth Jacob becomes? Or just curious what the black belt likes to do in his spare time (you know, aside from karate)? Leave your questions in the comments section below (please include your city and state), then come back soon to watch our video Q&A, and see if yours made the cut.
