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’?

Shaw cinemas will be showing ‘How To Be’ soon, starting from 29th April onwards. Check out their website for more details such as screening schedules, etc!

‘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.

We’re definitely thrilled to have ‘How To Be’ to be playing soon in our cinemas! Thank you to Shaw for making this possible!


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

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. ;)

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 ]
