Robert Pattinson’s “HOW TO BE” OPENS in Singapore TODAY!!!

YES, ROBERT PATTINSON’S FILM ‘HOW TO BE‘ is FINALLY HERE!

‘HOW TO BE’ was featured in the 22nd Singapore International Film Festival and we understand many wanted to watch it but couldn’t cos it was only one screening and it was sold out!

Now you have your chance to watch HOW TO BE on the big screen again cos it opens in Singapore today!

We really like the fact that we’ve been having Mr. Pattinson’s movies play concurrently in our local cinema this year ! It SO NICE to watch on the big screen :)

‘How To Be’ Trailer:

A wry comedy about twenty something ART, who moves back in with his parents, hits a quarter-life crisis and enlists the help of a self-help guru. A timely look at the increasingly common phenomena of grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self-help.

Thank you to Shaw for making this possible!


In Local Cinemas: Robert Pattinson’s ‘HOW TO BE’, 29th Apr 2010!

YES, THAT’S RIGHT! WE’RE NOT KIDDING YOU! ROBERT PATTINSON’S FILM ‘HOW TO BE‘ WILL FINALLY BE PLAYING IN OUR LOCAL CINEMAS SOON! Yes, you just caught him in cinemas last month for ‘Remember Me’ :D

Thank you to Shaw Organization for the notification on this and for bringing in another Rob’s film! This is a  CHANCE for all Rob/Twilight fans to catch him again on screen before The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finally hits here in late June!

FYI, ‘How To Be’ was featured in the 22nd Singapore International Film Festival & Twilight Singapore was lucky enough to get up close and personal with Justin Kelly, Producer of ‘How To Be‘:

Twilight Singapore had a great time at the Asian premiere of How To Be at the 22nd Singapore International Film Festival. Not only did we enjoy ourselves at the screening of How To Be, but we had such a great time with Justin Kelly, the producer of How To Be who came down to Singapore for the screening. We have posts and videos about the screening and the day out with Justin Kelly.

Where Can You Watch ‘How To Be’?

New Moon News (Updated)

MTV Movies Blog had an interview with Taylor Lautner at the VMA’s about his workout and Rob. Taylor Lautner: Robert Patinson Doesn’t Need Workout Advice

But Lautner isn’t the only one Twilighters got an eyeful of in the trailer — Robert Pattinson also appears sans shirt. And Lautner insists that if the two were to compete in some kind of shirt-off, the competition would be stiff. “I don’t know [who would win]. Rob, he’s getting some muscle,” he explained. “There’s some good competition.”

MTV also did another article with Anna Kendrick about her level of fame. ‘Twilight’ Actress Anna Kendrick Is Fine Without RPattz-Level Fame

“The thing about playing one of the human characters, the non-supernatural characters in the ‘Twilight’ series, is we have a lot more liberty to make it our own and change things, because people don’t have that attachment that they do to the myth, the world that Stephenie Meyer created in terms of the supernatural aspect,” the actress explained.

Here’s another interview with Anna by HitFix. Q&A: Anna Kendrick talks ‘New Moon’, ‘Scott Pilgrim’ and her breakthrough in ‘Up in the Air’

Q: Do you know if you’ll be back for ‘Breaking Dawn’ if and when those movies happen?
It does feel like to us — when I say ‘us’ I assume people know I’m referring to the human characters — it feels like it’s probably coming to a close.  We appear in a dream sequence or one sequence in the book of of ‘Breaking Dawn’ so I don’t know if we’ll be back for it and we’re only signed up for three, because the three books were only out when we made the first film.  So, I don’t know that we will be involved in ‘Breaking Dawn,’ but it’s a really fun thing to go back to. Particularly when I go back for this short period of time it feels like I’m going back to summer camp and I’m seeing my friends from summer camp.

Radar Online had a meeting with Edi Gathegi where he actually tried to scare the author, Stephenie Meyer! EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Twilight Actor Edi Gathegi Scared Stephenie Meyer

Radar: How scary is your scene?
Gathegi: Let’s just put it this way. I told Stephenie Meyer that my goal would be to scare every 14 year-old girl, and she looked at me and said “Edi, you’re so sweet and you have such a little baby face, no one is going to be scared of you at all.” Then she saw the movie and the dailies said, “OK Edi, you scared me!” And I said “That means a lot coming from you,” especially since she told me I wasn’t even going to be able to BE scary!

The Twilight Examiner has had an interview with ‘How To Be’ director, Oliver Irving. Exclusive Interview – How to Be Director gives insight into Robert Pattinson and his character

Were you familiar with Rob, or had you heard of him before he was cast?
No – he told me he was in a Harry Potter movie but made it seem like a small part. After the first audition I was sure he could be good, so checked him out online and realized he had a huge fan base already. Another call back or two to doubly make sure we had our man, and we were set.

The LA Times has behind the scenes photos of ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’! Here’s just a few of them…

A Lucky Singapore Fan Gets Rob’s Autograph!

How To Be

Yup! Jan a local Robert Pattinson fan as well as a frequent poster on Twilight Singapore was so lucky to get one of the 250 autographed ‘How To Be’ Soundtrack CD that Mr. Pattinson signed meticulously before starting the filming New Moon in Vancouver in April. These CDs have since been sent all over the world to those who had pre-ordered it through Dreamboat Records!

Jan told us as soon as she received it and we have asked her to email us her account and picture. :) Thank you Jan!

 

Hi there!

I pre-ordered the How To Be soundtrack from Dreamboat Records nearly two months ago.

There was a notice on the website which specified that they were giving away 250 copies of Rob-signed posters with the CD.

Although a very tiny part of me hoped that I would be one of the lucky ones, I sensibly decided not to think about it.

 Watched the movie, LOVED the movie and was waiting impatiently for the CD to arrive.

Dreamboat Records were quite responsible and even checked on my mailing address before shipping.

I, of course, couldn’t resist emailing them a reply in which I mentioned that I was REALLY hoping get THAT poster.

The wait was rather long, tho’ and I even emailed them once to check on the status.

Their response was prompt, reassuring and heartening as they mentioned that things were abit slow due to overwhelming demand, which was nice to know. :)

 So I checked my mailbox diligently everyday and finally, I was rewarded today with the sight of a yellow package with DREAMBOAT on it!

Tore it open, took out the poster, scanned it and almost fainted when I saw THE SCRAWL…*gasp* HIS SCRAWL at the top!!!! Yowza!!!!

Cheers to all!

Jan

 

HTB Jan” It’s up in my wardrobe door together with the Justin Kelly-signed one and an Edward and Bella postcard.”

 

Congratulations again Jan!!! :) :) :)

Good Morning! :D A bunch of news for you to catch up on while we release our Rob’s Birthday Wishes video later in the day!

Hallmark now has Twilight related E-Cards. Currently there’s 2 version: Twilight Mind-Reading & Twilight Celebrate ’til Twilight (Happy Birthday). Each card cost $0.99 cents. Thanks to Stacey who shared this with Twilight Lexicon.

‘Twilight’ Star Robert Pattinson Sighted In The Vicinity Of Director Peter Berg, from MTV:

That said, Perez Hilton reported that the actor was spotted leaving the Los Angeles home of director Peter Berg yesterday while on a break from the ongoing “New Moon” shoot. Berg and Pattinson may very well just be friends, but this fanboy is hoping that the two met to discuss the actor’s possible involvement in Berg’s upcoming “Dune” remake.

Fan’s Tattoo of Robert Pattinson’s signature a little too far, from Twilight Examiner:

Fan's Tattoo of RPATTZ's Signature

A fan by the name of Stephanie posted this photograph on her Twitter account. It is of her wrist, tattooed with the signature of Robert Pattinson. While it is not unheard of, or completely extraordinary to have signatures or insignia tattooed on one’s body (I’ve seen the likes of Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon autographed into the skin of die-hard fans, and even the Earth symbol from Dan Brown’s book Angels & Demons etched into someone’s arm), but is this taking fandom of Pattinson too far, or is the decision completely ordinary?

And for those who missed out on How To Be’s premiere in Singapore last month, enjoy this movie clip below:

Nikki Reed headed to Italy? Yes, that’s absolutely right. She tells MTV this:

“Put it this way: I am not in any of the scenes in Italy, but we’ve already made sure that I am going to Italy while they shoot that,because I am sort of obsessed with that portion of the book…”

How to Films have been generous enough to give us an exclusive look at their new How to Be wallpapers.  And what’s more, we’ll be offering you the chance to download one design each day for the next three days!

Take a look at this video below – A lucky fan gets to sit on Kellan’s lap. Edi massaged her back while Peter massaged her feet. This was taken during Creation’s Twilight Convention:

Paramore talks to EW, Twilight is included in their agenda:

EW: Oh, really? I thought from what I’ve read that [Twilight author] Stephanie Meyer sought you guys out and wanted you specifically to be on the soundtrack. But it’s more like you auditioned?
HW: Well I read the books, and when they were working on the soundtrack, I was finishing up the third book, Eclipse, and I was really into it. I thought this was a great art, a really good story, and really relatable, but I’m always into vampires and all that. So we were touring and writing and jamming out new things every day, and I was like, if they’re putting that soundtrack together this could be great, let’s figure out if we could be a part of it. So yeah, we kinda fought for it. And if you look at the rest of the album, it’s Muse and Iron and Wine and Linkin Park, which really isn’t our demographic.

David Slade on The Twilight Saga:

Today, however, it seems like Slade’s Twitter account has been deleted, which is a crying shame. Besides the loss of an interesting tweeter, another of the reasons this is unfortunate is that the deletion covers Slade’s tracks a little and hides a rather amusing little attack he launched on the Twilight franchise.

/film has the full story.

Congratulations to Rob for winning the Best Actor Award for his role in How To Be at First Glance Film Festival. Further details can be found at Pattinson Online.

Here’s an exclusive interview with Rob about How To Be. Thanks to comcast.net:

In the film he plays Art, a guy who doesn’t really fit in (imagine that!) and is looking for his place in the world. Art is stuck in a rut and enlists an elderly self-help guru to guide him down the road of life. Pattinson sat down for an exclusive interview and gave us the inside scoop on singing live in the movie and how he relates to this dysfunctional character.

Twilight News (Version 2)

Teen Vogue has an article comparing Robert in Twilight and How To Be about the fashion wise for both movies. They also asked which role did Rob look better?

Twilight Examiner has a movie review of How To Be (contains spoilers):

While I had no doubt that Robert Pattinson would bring to the world an interesting and complicated character in How To Be, I simply could not anticipate how clever, awkward, and frustrating the film (and the plight of its wayward and romantically lost character Art) would be.

Watch the BTS of How To Be:

Moviefone has a new Rob interview about his upcoming biopic film, Little Ashes:

Who would you love to tour with, if you were going to do a tour as a musician? Rob: I’d quite like to tour with Kings of Leon. I think they’re pretty cool.

What has been your craziest fan experience? Rob: There was one quite weird thing, I was in a Blockbuster the other day, and I hadn’t realized it was the day the ['Twilight'] DVD was coming out, and there were these two — no one recognized me in that place — and there were these two 8-year-old girls who turned up with their parents. They were picking up their preordered DVDs, and they were just shaking and crying just because they got their DVD. I thought that was pretty incredible, I hadn’t seen anything like that before … I mean, I have when it’s in person, when it’s meeting me. But just to pick up a DVD, that was kind of crazy.


Emily Browning
was Stephenie Meyer’s choice to be Bella. Speaking to MTV, Emily clears up the rumours about herself and Twilight. Read it all here.

Emily Browning (MTV)

Browning is eager to finally tell her side of the “Twilight” tale. “Maybe I should set it straight a little bit, because there are so many rumors flying around,” she said. “People are coming up to me and saying, ‘Oh, my God. You turned ['Twilight'] down?’ and all this horrible stuff!

“What actually happened is that I was asked to audition — not take the part, but to just audition — shortly after ‘The Uninvited’ had finished filming,” the actress said. “And I’m not the type of person who can just work back-to-back. So I was just exhausted, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, but I just can’t sign on to a trilogy right now.’ “

Kristen & Anna (Vancity Allie)

@amyburrows and I had a great night out at the new theatre set for Twilight’s New Moon in Vancouver. They are filming all the exterior shots at this theatre. Again, two scenes happen here… one where Bella and Jessica go to Port Angeles for a movie, and a second scene where Bella, Mike, and Jacob have that awkward movie date with that scary movie, “The Dead Come Back.”

The crew and security at the set tonight were great. They were very friendly, nice, and appropriately strict. Appreciate you folks doing a great job! Everyone was safe and had fun.

 The blood-sucking vampire from Twilight on wanting more tattoos, causing trouble in boarding school, and dealing with rabid groupies.

Are you signed on for the next Twilight movie, New Moon?
Wait, there’s another one? [Laughs.] Just kidding. Yes, I’m on board. I actually go up to Toronto to start training in a few days.

What other tattoos do you plan on getting?
I’d love to get the Rathbone family crest on my back-it would take up my whole back. Our motto is “Suaviter et Fortiter,” which means “nicely, but firmly.” My dad always taught me that you’ve got to give respect to get respect, and you’ve got to give love to get love. Makes sense, right?

An Evening Out with Justin Kelly

howtobetwisgcopy3

Last Saturday, after the screening of How To Be at Shaw Lido, we had a date with the producer of, Justin Kelly. At first, we thought that we wouldn’t be able to meet up with him personally as he had a very busy schedule but our lucks changed when he had a little bit of time for us.

I was supposed to compose a post about our evening with Justin Kelly but when I read Bessy’s post on it on her personal blog, it had to be shared! Furthermore, the post that I wanted to write was well… boring and less descriptive but with Bessy, you’ll enjoy a good laugh! So thanks so much to Bessy for sharing it to us! :)

.How To Be premiere
Of course I couldn’t go. Am freaking under 16 years of age. But after Physics remedial and a short studying stint with Josh and Shuning, I joined the girls at Lido 1! The people were just pouring out from the theatre when I arrived, and then Justin Kelly exited!

If you didn’t know, Justin Kelly is the producer of How To Be.

Many people just crowded around him, took photos with him and asked him to autograph their poster or booklet ha. I joined in too. I took the SIFF film booklet and waited for the clump of eager people to disperse off in a multitude of directions.

I had my turn in the end, of course. A photo and a signature. Gosh it was so cool. Accompanying Justin was Sabrina from the SIFF committee and turns out we were supposed to have lunch with Justin. I thought it was with Rudy. :P

Okay things got messy etc, etc, basically SIFF had already planned out Justin’s schedule! Later, Sabrina said he’d be giving a talk at La Salle, so we wandered to find some place to sit down and eat first.

By this time, only Melissa was with us. Ha. We finally managed to sit down and talk and dine at ZingDo. After a few more false alarms, we separated into two booked cabs and headed for Botanical Gardens! Melissa had to leave though.

Oh man I don’t have photos with me now but we basically talked to Justin over English high tea for us (HA) and a chilli crab spaghetti meal for him. Funny.
Maria: What would you like? Would you like to try chilli crab spaghetti?
Justin: Sure, I don’t mind.
Maria: Have you tried it before?
Justin: No, I’d try it now then.

Maria was talking in this are-you-sure? tone and Justin was all yeah-go-ahead-go-ahead. LOLTASTIC.

Later, after a lot of chit chat, his food came. Our conversation, when it first began, was Justin quizzing us about our whole fansite thing. Then it turned to Justin, and I asked whether he’d compared Rob’s performance in both movies. He said something along the lines of that, Rob can’t be so serious like he was in Twilight.

Because it made him laugh.

True to that, baby.

We went along with the flow and gradually the view changed to How To Be. He told us that he had received news that Rob was mentioning How To Be in his interviews but some companies removed it because they only wanted Twilight/New Moon news. That’s really mean.

Justin also asked what the story of Breaking Dawn was and at first Aishah spoiled him! We all jokingly chided her and later he quizzed more and we just went, “Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Funny.

Allison, Maria’s friend, joined us after a while.

His meal arrived and it was pretty spicy I guess. He liked it though. He commented, “Those people must be going, ‘Hey it’s an Englishman let’s show him the chilli!’” and imitated an action of pouring a lot of chilli into his plate. After a while he got accustomed to the taste anyways.

There were many other things we laughed at, but I’ve forgotten. :P

After we were done eating, Justin and Maria fought to pay the bill omg it was srsly awkward! It’s like,
[Maria] [Me] [Aishah]
[Cashier]
Basically Maria was sitting in front of the counter, but Justin, seated opposite Aishah, got to the cashier first LOL.

He just like stood up swiftly and went there and handed over his card and paid for the meal. *jaw drops to floor* Can’t believe he did that. Maria tried to get the cashier to pass him back his card but they’d already keyed it in.

Maria later said, “So paiseh.” We told Justin what that meant. And then he went, “Oh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you feel embarrassed.” XD

After we left the restaurant, we brought him on a short walk around. Along the way we discussed Twilight stuff and Rob’s other movies, including The Summer House. Aishah kept filming the surroundings and stuff. So cool.

We also passed some dogs along the way. Justin said he love dogs, and would like to own one big one and one little one if he lived in the countryside, but unfortunately (for him), he lives in London and that’s a town area.

Eventually, Aishah, Izzati and I left in Nasyita’s father’s car while Maria, Allison, Justin and Sabrina headed another way. My gosh, how many people can say, “I spent the evening with a movie producer”?

True that Bessy! Anyway, hope you liked her post. So before we left Botanical Gardens, we took a group photo with Justin Kelly. I’m sure you can spot him! He’s the rose among the thorns. ;)

getattachmentaspx-3

We will be posting the Q&A session with Justin Kelly too, so do keep a lookout for that! :)

[Edit: Mr. Kelly was actually attending a talk at La Salle College of the Arts - In Conversation with the legendary actor/writer/producer Peter Fonda ]

Glamour (Spain) Magazine

It took him 90 years for him to find love. Do you believe in love at first sight?
That’s so boring! I think we all have the right to fall in love several times. The conventional idea of love, the idea of being with somebody for the rest of your life and love her forever sounds so silly to me, and so unrealistic. I think you can love ten people at the same time (laughs).

What are your bigest passions?
I’m boring. I like reading, watching movies and playing the piano.

Rob will not attend the Kids Choice Award, by LA Times Blog.  

He’s busy on the set shooting “New Moon.” And probably being protected by Canadian Mounties.

Celebuzz has an article – For Pals Sam Bradley & Robert Pattinson: The Laughter Continues in Vancouver.

“Every time I made a mistake, I kept looking over,” Bradley tells Celebuzz. “At one point I walked off-stage and just started laughing.” Bradley was playing the cover of “Man’s World” by James Brown, ran into some problems and left the stage to pick up his folder. He looked up at Pattinson hanging out in the stage wings, out-of-sight. “I just started laughing,” says Bradley. “And he was just smiling back.”

Moviefone with Robert Pattinson Talks Gossips.

1. I heard that you follow all the online gossip about yourself?I read that and thought it was such bullshit. I was like, “God, I sound like such a loser!”

2. So it’s not true?

Well, I do sometimes. I used to a lot more before and then … I only look at the negative stuff. I just want to know whoever’s saying negative stuff, and I just want to remember their names. I write it all down in my black book. [Laughs]

From Model to Meatworker, Stuffs.co.nz has an article on Nina Schubert, Rob’s old girlfriend.

She has lived most of her life in London. She went to school there with Robert Pattinson, who lived around the corner and they ended up at the same drama school.

“Rob is still a really good friend of mine. He’s hopefully going to come here, if he can get a break from working. I gave him my paintings when we lived together in London. Now he’s commissioned me to paint one for him and I’m working on it.

“I do really big abstract canvases, influenced by geometric patterns like chessboards and latticework, mainly black and white. I’m interested in optical illusions.”

Hardwicke responded: “Hey, I think there’s going to be an anime version of this in Japan. So you will be an anime character.”

Over at the Twilight Saga, Catherine has answered questions that fans submitted! Take a look at this exclusive Q/A here.

Reelz Channel has a new Twilight quiz or rather the Making of Twilight Movie Quiz! Check it out here.

Examiner.com has an article – Twilight And New Moon Fans be sure to wear red on Thursday for Rob Pattinson and Edward Cullen.

…to show your support for a faithful book-to-film translation of New Moon by Chris Weitz (one which would have Robert Pattinson amidst a sea of garnet and red celebrants of St. Marcus Day, with Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene, as Bella Swan and Alice Cullen, fighting against this sea of red to make it to Edward before the clock strikes twelve) wear something red this Thursday, March 19th.

YAY! More of Rob’s pictures he did for a press can be found here via Lion_Lamb and here.

Rob's Press Picture

Rob & Cam is in Vanity Fair’s West Side Story Revisited:

West Side Story Revisited (Turf Battle)

TURF BATTLE
The Sharks and the Jets mark out a piece of urban turf while simultaneously expressing the joy of being young, vigorous, and able to kick ass. As Bernardo, in red, Rodrigo Santoro (Behind the Sun) leads fellow Sharks played by Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder) and Jay Hernandez (Grindhouse, Hostel, Ladder 49). The Jets’ leader, Riff, in yellow, is played by Chris Evans, equally hot-headed in the role of the Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. Rounding out his crew are Cam Gigandet (The O.C., Twilight), Drake Bell (yes, the Drake, of Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh), and Robert Pattinson (Edward in Twilight, Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). They are not fully visible but they don’t mind, because they know the maxim, “There are no small parts, only small actors.”

West Side Story Revisited (The Dance)

THE DANCE
Between Maria (Camilla Belle, far left) and Tony (Ben Barnes, far right, also known as Prince Caspian), it is dancing, dancing, dancing. Latin steps predominate on the left, as the Sharks and their ladies give America a taste of the culture to come. On the right, we have a series of funky Anglo moves, as the Jets and their gals go rhythmically at it. On either side, our two tragic protagonists have eyes only for each other. The lead Sharks dancers are Anita (J.Lo, in an incredible pose) and Bernardo (Rodrigo Santoro). The Jet girl dancing with Riff (Chris Evans) is played by Ashley Tisdale (of High School Musical fame). Rounding out the Sharks, left to right: Minka Kelly (she’s Lyla on Friday Night Lights), Jay Hernandez, Natalie Martinez (Death Race), Brandon T. Jackson, Melonie Diaz (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints). On the Jets’ side: Sean Faris (Never Back Down), Shane Lynch (she’s gonna be big), Robert Pattinson, Cam Gigandet, Trilby Glover (88 Minutes), Brittany Snow (Hairspray), Drake Bell.

'How To Be' for 22nd SIFF

Twilight Singapore is pleased to announce that Robert Pattinson‘s film, ‘How To Be’ will be screened at the upcoming 22nd Singapore International Film Festival. The 22nd Singapore International Film Festival will take place from 14th April-25th April 2009! So make yourself available on 25th April 2009 because ‘How To Be’ will be screened on the last day of the film festival! :D

‘How To Be’ film Screening: Lido 1 (Shaw House), 11.30am on 25th April 2009.

How To Be (Citibank's Choice)

How To Be (By Oliver Irving/UK/2008/NC16/84 Min)

Producer: Justin Kelly

Screenplay: Oliver Irving

Cast: Robert Pattinson, Rebecca Pidgeon, Jeremy Hardy

Film’s Synopsis:

British comedy about a frustrated musician who turns to a self-help coach to thaw the frozen grief of his dysfunctional past.

Art is young, middle class and quite depressed. He is going through a quarter life crisis just when his girlfriend dumps him and he has to move back to live with his uncommunicative parents – who are far from thrilled with the idea. His equally damaged friends, volunteer work and music are no help to his growing anxiety so he turns to psychology guru Dr. Levi Ellington whose mode of treatment is to move in with the patient and shadow his every move. Poignant and occasionally dark, the film explores the increasingly common phenomena of grown-up children living at home, middle class depression and self-help. Robert Pattinson, who plays Art, is perhaps best known for his role as the benevolent and hunky vampire in Twilight. Won a Special Jury Honorable Mention at Slamdance.

Who would you have chosen? The good guy or the bad guy?
(laughs) Well, if I had to choose between the characters of the movie, I would choose Edward because I know he wouldn’t hurt me.

Robert:

Where you intrigued by vampires?
Not really. I think it’s weird the obssession some people have with them. I only read Dracula when I was filming the movie.
