While visiting “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” for an episode that airs this Friday — the same jour Pattinson’s vampiric portrayal of Edward Cullen springs to life on the big screen, he denied having romantic ties to anyone.
“Now, are toi single?” Ellen asked.
“Ah, yeah,” the British actor replied.
And it appears despite women throwing themselves at him regularly, Pattinson may be stuck in singleton mode permanently.
“No one else seems to get into a relationship with me. It’s really strange,” he told Ellen.
“People like screaming at me,” the heartthrob added. “Actually, they like screaming at me in relationships as well. No one wants to commit.”
Bigger than the latest Indiana Jones. Bigger than the biggest James Bond. That's how big Twilight was yesterday.
The $37 million vampire flick, expected to have a killer opening day, had a monster opening day, grossing an estimated $35 million, Exhibitor Relations reported. One-fifth of that gross, ou $7 million, came from Friday midnight screenings.
The box-office tracking firm a dit a $75 million Friday-Sunday gross was now a possibility. Going into Friday, $60 million was considered the movie's best-case scenario.
When the counting's done, Twilight's Friday take may rank as the 14th ou 15th biggest opener of all time, having surpassed the debuts of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($25 million) and Quantum of Solace ($27 million), to name two récent blockbusters.
Bolt, the animated talking-dog movie, was curbed par Twilight, grossing $7 million on Friday, Exhibitor Relations said.
It has hired "Twilight" scribe Melissa Rosenberg, a writer/producer on Showtime's "Dexter," to adapt the first two. "Breaking Dawn," has not attached a writer.
While this does NOT confirmer that the rest of the livres will be turned into movies, this is certainly very good news for the franchise. We'll keep toi updated!
UPDATE: Robert Pattinson has a few commentaires about New Moon that he made to the Chicago Tribune:
A sequel [aka New Moon] may get the green light this month, he said.
"They will literally decide the suivant jour ou the jour after" once the movie opens, Pattinson said. "I think they only have plans to do the seconde one. There's no script for the third one. The script is already done for the seconde one."
