First Look: Roughed-Up Robert Pattinson Looks Bloody, Hot In 'The Rover'

First Look: Roughed-Up Robert Pattinson Looks Bloody, Hot In 'The Rover'

Edward who? Robert Pattinson has made some smart post-Twilight choices. After working with David Cronenberg in the memorably weird  Cosmopolis, the heartthrob actor has now gone completely off-road for Animal Kingdom director David Michod's gritty, violent follow-up,  The Rover, which is shooting in the unforgiving Australian desert. And judging from this first still from the set,  the bedroom-eyed actor's sparkly vampire days are well behind him. more »

Talkback: Should 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part II' Sweep The Razzies?

Talkback: Should 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part II' Sweep The Razzies?

As terribly easy as it is to hate on the Twilight films, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II was the best of the series.

High and Low: Robert Pattinson and Dean Martin As Two Very Different Men-About-Town

High and Low: Robert Pattinson and Dean Martin As Two Very Different Men-About-Town

Let’s kick off the new year with lady-killers of two different generations: Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson retains his seductive abilities in a very different kind of role, while Dean Martin gets embroiled in a 1960s sex farce. Both movies are thoroughly entertaining, but they’re also about as polar-opposite as it gets, making them the perfect antipodes for my first column of 2013. more »

David Cronenberg Talks 'Cosmopolis,' High Frame Rates, And 'Bullshit' Oscars

David Cronenberg Talks 'Cosmopolis,' High Frame Rates, And 'Bullshit' Oscars

2012 brought us two whacked-out limousine-set films from auteurs bearing all the markings of future cult classics. But while Leos Carax's Holy Motors received universal critical praise, David Cronenberg's Robert Pattinson-starring Cosmopolis left critics a little more divided, although how anyone could dislike a film featuring an R-Pattz prostate exam is one of life's great mysteries.

You Tell Us: Is Channing Tatum Really Sexier Than Robert Pattinson?

Magic Mike - Channing Tatum, stripper

So the good news is pouring in for Channing Tatum today.  In addition to nabbing People's Sexiest Man Alive honor, GQ magazine chose the Magic Mike star as its Movie Star of the Year, part of its annual Men of the Year issue. That means Tatum and his strong chin will be gracing at least two magazine covers in the coming weeks, and that's got me wondering: where is the Twi-hard outrage over Robert Pattinson being snubbed?  more »

The 'Twilight' Scream-O-Meter: Notes From The 'Breaking Dawn 2' Premiere

Screams of elation, excitement — and at one point pure, unadulterated horror — echoed down through the rafters at the Nokia Theater last night as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II premiered to crowd of well-heeled industry guests and legions of Twi-hards, all craning for a glimpse of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who were in attendance alongside dozens of their Twilight co-stars.

Hollywood suits and fans alike seemed taken with the action-packed Twilight finale, which concludes the billion-dollar film franchise with a polished touch, new faces, a welcome dash of humor, and more than a few fan service moments dedicated to Bella and Edward's bloodsucking marital bliss.

Robert Pattinson Reflects On Twilight And Bella's Vampire Transformation In Oz

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 machine is underway and the film's on and off-screen couple are headed out on the road - though separately for now. Kristen Stewart headed to Tokyo to talk up the wildly successful conclusion to the vampire franchise, while Robert Pattinson flew Down Under for his whirlwind of engagements in Australia. While Twilight distributor is holding a strict "no-go" as far as questions about the real-life R-Patz/K-Stew drama that gripped segments of the celebrity-fueled chatter world in late summer/early fall, Pattinson did bring her up at a meeting with Oz journalists and more on his final play as Edward Cullen.
