USA Today 2010
USA Today talks Twilight brand while raising great points. As Today talks about the book series and its increasing popularity (the books have sold over 85 million copies), it ponders over the idea that the actors would not be as appealing if it wasn’t for the written story, and now the films.
It questions what Robert’s appeal is when the “Dashingly disheveled Pattinson has an infectious, high-pitched laugh that would never do for his seductive vampire lover-boy, Edward Cullen.”
And would Lautner be any different? Probably not. “Buff-and-polished Taylor Lautner is pocket-size compared with the looming stature of his werewolf counterpart, Jacob Black.”
If it wasn’t for the story’s visuals, could these unlikely heroes have become sex-symbols?
The article follows them through a screening of Eclipse and they talk fame, Eclipse’s bigger budget, new projects, hiding from the paparazzi and more.

Here’s a bit from the interview portion of the article:
“I took a picture with Ron Howard last year at the Oscars,” Pattinson recalls. “I thought it was the funniest thing. I asked, ‘Is it for your kids?’ He said, ‘No, it’s for me. I want to have it on my phone.’ ”
Making the situation even odder: Howard’s daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, is in Eclipse.
Alas, Pattinson has yet to run into his favorite, Jack Nicholson.
Stewart pipes up: “I have.”
Pattinson: “What? When did you meet?”
Stewart: “At a screening for Into the Wild,” her 2007 coming-of-age drama directed by Sean Penn.
“He was exactly like you think he would be.”
Pattinson, sounding peeved: “You never told me that.”
Lautner joins in. “I didn’t meet him but I sat next to him at a Lakers game.”
Pattinson, utterly exasperated: “What?”
