MTV Radio recently sat down with Robert Pattinson and the New Moon star discussed the filming of Breaking Dawn, his first post-Twilight project, Remember Me, and other future films.
"I've only done one movie outside of the Twilight series, Remember Me," Pattinson said. "But even that I did with the same studio, so I guess I'm still a little bit blind as to what my actual economic viability will be outside of the series."
Pattinson didn't touch on rumors that the final Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, might be broken into two films, but the did say "I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall next year."
"Depending on how things go, I'm doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, an adaption to a Guy de Maupassant novel. And I'm doing — I hope — a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well. They've got to try and juggle things around until everybody's schedules work." Pattinson said. "I'm playing a kid who was kidnapped by Comanche [warriors] when he was 4 years old. And he was brought up by them, and then his mother spends her entire life trying to find me and my sister. When she finds us, we can't remember who she is and can't remember anything about the Western culture which she grew up in."
"It's like, you can't really be more different from Edward," he continued. "I actually signed on to that after I'd done Twilight, in the summer after I'd finished [shooting]. It was really before anything had happened [to make me famous]. I wasn't even really thinking about it."
"It's definitely different," Pattinson said of post-Twilight fame. "You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that's also scary. You don't have to audition for anything. [But] I don't want to do a movie just so it gets made...You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got [offered], and you'd try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can't just mess around. People are like, 'We're employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.' It's difficult, and it's scary."
