In “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the third installment in Stephenie Meyer’s hugely popular vampire saga, the love triangle hits the boiling point.
Will Bella Swan really join Edward Cullen as a blood-sucking vampire and lose her humanity?
In “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” the rivalry between Edward and Jacob heats up with snarky one-liners, as when Edward snidely asks, “Don’t you ever wear a shirt?” and Jacob taunts him with, “I’m hotter than you”
Pattinson recalled how, during one confrontation, he planned to “push Taylor around a little bit. It wasn’t even in the script, but I thought I’d really scare him and grab his shoulder. It would freak him out and I was going to turn the whole scene upside down.”
One problem: When Pattinson grabbed, “his shoulder was actually too big to get a grip on.”
Pattinson’s vampire jealous of a werewolf?
As Edward Cullen, the gentlemanly vampire hero of Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” saga, Robert Pattinson fights rival vampires with dazzling ease and flies high above fir trees while holding Bella, the mortal teen he loves with an obsessive fervor.
But for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the third film to be made from Meyer’s bestselling quartet, Pattinson’s biggest challenge was surprisingly down to earth.
“I had to learn to sort of run properly,” Pattinson, 24, said at a solo press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.
He was even “filmed to improve my form.”
“In the last two I always run with a kind of limp/skip. This time I could run more solidly. So I spent a lot of time running on a treadmill – like one of those wheels that mice run around on,” he said with a laugh.
What helps him get into character?
“The contact lenses,” he said, frowning, “because it makes me miserable as soon as I put them. That’s what creates the sort of brooding, pouting character.”
That brooding character’s made Pattinson a global heartthrob.
Edward’s changed, Pattinson said, as his love for Bella heats up. Always protective, he is also jealous of the devotion Taylor Lautner’s Jacob, a werewolf, shows her.
“When he finds one thing to hold onto, that’s where his possessiveness comes from,” Pattinson said.
“In ‘Eclipse’ he’s coming out of his shell a bit. Hopefully by the end of ‘Breaking Dawn’ ” – the last book which will arrive as two separate movies – “he’ll basically be a normal 17-year-old guy. Just a little pale.”
Would Pattinson,ever compete with another guy the way Edward and Jacob vie for Bella?
“No, I’d just kind of leave you alone,” he said, adding, “If you are the one with the girl in the first place I guess maybe you’re forced into fighting a little bit. But I’d never be in Jacob’s position because then you just end up being the guy who broke you up.”
