Robert Pattinson: The Hollyscoop Interview

Hollyscoop posted their interview with Robert Pattinson during the New Moon press junket where he talked about his character and the filming the movie. Here is an excerpt of his interview:

Hollyscoop: Edward is always looking out for Bella and her well being but you decide to leave Bella for a bit, why is that?
Rob Pattinson:” He’s just bored,” he joked. “No, I think there is something about being deeply in love with someone that you start to doubt everything about yourself and see all your flaws and faults and I think it gets to such an extreme with Edward that he thinks he does not deserve to be with her anyway and thinks…and it gets even further than that he thinks that just by being with her he’s sowing her so and further than putting her out of the danger zone he decides he has to leave, he cant handle it.”

HS: New Moon has a little bit of a darker side than Twilight, how do you feel fans will react to this?
RP: “You know a lot of people were saying that 12/13 year olds are the hardest audience & saying about it’s a Tween movie, Blah, Blah, Blah, I don’t think anyone involved with any of them has tried to make them directed towards them, I mean maybe people marketed towards them or whatever. I’ve never thought about that before so I think, I think trying to make it as intelligent complex film as you can because I think the material is there and the books to make it into a pretty deep, its quite interesting subjects. So I hope people will just think we are not being short changed.”

HS: You play a vision for a majority of the film, was that difficult?
RP: “I guess to film it wasn’t that difficult, but it was quite difficult to know what I was actually doing. I wasn’t supposed to playing Edward as such, I was playing a figment of Bella’s imagination so I kind of wanted Kristen to tell me how to do it but I was a little embarrassed. So I would say, Kristen how would you play me, what’s your impression of Edward? So it was kind of tough.”
