SITE: Robert Pattinson’s Career “In Peril”

Truth rating: 0

(HollywoodLife)

According to HollywoodLife, Robert Pattinson’s career is in serious danger.

The webloid, which has been parroting bizarre theories about how “jealous” Pattinson supposedly is of Kristen Stewart, now uses a Daily Mail report to claim that “Hollywood insiders are beginning to lose faith in Rob’s ability to carry a huge movie.”

“They’re even calling him ‘RIP-Patz’!” shrieks HollywoodLife.

Um, let’s back up for a second.

It is true that Pattinson has not had box office mega-hits on the scale of the Twilight franchise outside of those four (soon to be five) movies.

But it is also true that Pattinson hasn’t really released many non-Twilight films to date.

HollywoodLife mentions neither Remember Me ($56 million worldwide) nor Water for Elephants ($117 million) in its article, which is odd, since those two films are the only two Pattinson movies to get a wide U.S. release since Twilight hit.

Instead, the site relies on a Daily Mail piece based on — no joke — one reporter’s anecdotal experience at a poorly attended Bel Ami screening in New York and the small UK box office for Cosmopolis.

Bel Ami was put on just 15 screens this month in America; Cosmopolis has not been released.

Gossip Cop has no stake in the commercial fortunes of any actor, be it Pattinson or anyone else.

But at least when we write about box office, we employ basic facts and perspective, both of which are beyond HollywoodLife.

The site seems unable to distinguish between the expectations for a massively distributed sequel and a limited release independent movie, but, again, this is an outlet so clueless about Pattinson’s professional life, it falsely claims he and Stewart are contractually forbidden to appear together in public.

And that’s why HollywoodLife’s credibility is “in peril.”

    The tabloids that write this crap should be banned from being able to post anything about any celebrity. Rob’s career is not in danger. He has several movies that he will be filming so no need to worry about his career. The bullshit of trying to pit him and Kristen against each other needs to stop too. Rob and Kristen are proud of each other’s successes. Both Rob and Kristen have amazing careers and neither of them deserve any of the bullshit rumors that go around about them.

  • JessMarie414

    Again, who actually believes anything HL says? If anyone’s actually believes this crap I have a bridge to sell them.

  • Betty b

    Simply unbelievable ..when a celeb site ..can’t comprehend the difference between a Indie movie “limited” release rated R vs a mainstream wide release rated PG movie and the most likely BO totals. I only say WOW ..this absolutely validates why we need Gossip Cop.

  • TruthHurts

    Why would that be a surprise, HL cannot distinguish the difference between reality and fantasy..or to be blunt fact and fiction.

  • N-A-T-T

    this is totally ridiculous….i mean that Robert can be really great and serious actor….and the box offices which earn so much money are really often bad movies(harry potter is good for kids but it s not a serious film,spiderman)i just wanna say that these mainstream or blockbusters movies are not very good receive from film critics and also from people who are really understand cinema and art-movies like Mulholland Dr.-that s for me are really movie that not earn very much money but Mulholland Dr. and movies like that are really MASTERPIECE SO PLEASE DON T JUDGE ROBERT BECAUSE HE MAYBE IN FUTURE REALLY SHOWN WHAT IS IN HIM=Serious,wonderful and brilliant actor

  • detkbeckett41319

    DailyMail did first report this story. I read the story last night on my app, and when I went to HL to see if they wrote something, the story wasn’t there! GP, the site you should be criticizing is Daily Mail NOT Hollywood Life!

  • Buffy_2012

    What’s with your Rob hate? If you don’t like him, fine. But is calling him names really necessary? How can you claim to be a Kristen fan, when you trash the man she loves and respects? It’s not Rob’s fault he was cursed with the nonsten bitches.

  • Tabloids are trash

    Whoever wrote this is not very bright. Cosmopolis hasn’t even been released in the US yet, that won’t happen until August. Canada is a very small market, and it had little promo there. It’s Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning it’s received a majority of good reviews. Water for Elephants also got critical acclaim and it made a profit, as did Remember Me, and producers haven’t forgotten that.

    As for SWATH, the gross still hasn’t reached the break even point because the budget was $170 million. Studios have to split the gross with theaters, so it needs to make $340 million before it shows a profit. Bel Ami and Cosmopolis both had low budgets, and it’s likely that Cosmopolis will make a profit after it’s released in the US. It’s a thinking man’s film, not a popcorn movie, no one expected it to break box office records, duh.

    As for Rob, he already has 6 projects lined up including Mission Blacklist and Hate Mail. Director and producers are clamoring to work with him, he’s bankable. He will be famous from Twilight for at least the next ten years, and if anyone needs an example of an actor getting cast over and over in films that don’t make a profit, all they have to do is look at KStew. All her indies bomb and yet she gets cast again and again. SWATH still hasn’t shown a profit, but then she’s only got one new project in her future. Rob has 6 already that we know about.

  • guest

    I saw it on HL just a second ago…it’s there.

  • Agahst BS

    Box office has nothing to do with what’s a quality film or what’s even good. Those are value judgements, but producers don’t care about that, they’re just looking at the bottom line. Rob is rich and famous enough to choose the projects he’s interested in, and he’s getting sent every script out there to choose from.

    After expressing how much he enjoyed working with an independent spirit like David Cronenberg, it’s no wonder he’s rejecting big studio films. He seemed tired of all their interference in the Twilight films, why would he want to sign up for that kind of aggravation again? He has nothing to worry about with his career. He can do half a dozen indies and two years from now do another big, commercial film if he wants to. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to directing films before too long.

  • guest

    lmao. this came from the daily fail. why would anyone believe their bs?

  • guest

    you are getting a nice dose of the nonberts. “cowboy” sounds like drunken cowboy from twitter and imdb. the same one that writes gay slurs about rob all the time.

  • Lisa

    He wants to show that he is a good actor, and triyng to move away from Twilight. Maybe too hard and too soon IMO.

  • Nello

    thank you for this article, i live in the UK and i actually was on the daily mail site today blasting them for their inaccurate report. cosmopolis is supposed to have been release here june 15, i have checked dozens of cinemas and cannot find it. there has been no trailers or promotions at all so i actually assumed it was not coming out till august like in the US, bel ami was ok but it also received very little promo as well. the daily mail like drama and when there is none, they make it up.
    as for the people going on this site to insult him, jeez can you say jealous? you wish you had his talent

  • Vanessa

    Exactly it’s “drunken cowboy” from Imdb, the Krisbian who would like to get into Kristen’s pants but who never will… The most hilarious thing is that this gay woman can’t even admit her own gender and thinks that Rob is gay and forgets that many think that Kristen is gay too…

  • Vanessa

    Well, Drunken Cowboy from Imdb, Rob is here to stay in Hollywood and gets to sleep with Kristen every night… So take your Krisbian attitude and go masturbate in your mother’s basement.

  • Buffy_2012

    What does SWATH’s box office numbers have to do with Rob’s career? Most director’s don’t give a shit if their movie is fresh on a site like Rotton Tomato’s, they care about what happens at the box office. SWATH still has many weeks of being in theatres so you should save your how much it’s earned comment for when the final numbers are calculated. SWATH has been huge success and proved that Kristen has box office draw. You have no clue as what projects Kristen has. Everyone was saying Rob was doing nothing, only to learn that he had been working on deals for a while. Kristen is getting to ready to start casting for Cali, and it’s looking like SWATH will have a sequel.

  • JM1452

    Stop trashing Kristen to promote Rob. If you are a fan of his, which it sounds like, I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate you trashing her.

  • Fyi

    Most of Rob’s new film projects are still in the development and financing stages, and there is quite a bit of legit buzz that some of his new films will not happen. Regardless of any critic review good or bad Bel-Ami and Cosmopolis have been box office duds. While Rob has a large fanbase, his movies don’t pack the theatres.

  • Aries6471

    Drunken Cowboy loser from Kristen’s IMDB needs to grow a brain and some talent. What a loser to attack Rob everywhere he/she/it could. Yeah like Kristen will be very proud of his/her/its actions…. SMH.

  • JM1452

    Plus don’t forget that Bel Ami was released in the US on Video On Demand for five weeks before it was in theaters (very few of them BTW). Why aren’t they counting the number of times it was viewed on that. I know lots of people that watched it and liked it. What is with this vendetta against Rob by UK papers. Is it because he moved to the US? The Hollywood vendetta is understandable because they think he didn’t pay his dues to be such a sensation. But hey, that is Hollywood. You would think that the UK would be proud of him. Of course he probably doesn’t care as he laughs all the way to the bank with his millions of dollars and lives his California dream life!

  • Patti

    Well, DC, Rob won’t go back to London, he’ll stay in Hollywood. And your Krisbian ass will never see Kristen’s pussy…

  • Guest2

    Rob’s career is more than fine. DM is a stirrer.

  • Miisshalfstep

    Swath will do just fine, haznutz.

  • guest

    how can his movies pack theatres when they are only shown in like less 20 places?

  • guest

    how so? his mainstream films have made their budget back with profit. bel-ami just sat for too long. cosmopolis went to cannes, and rob has gotten great reviews for his performance.

  • guest

    he is just the tip of the iceberg. don’t forget the little group from twitter. jersey girl, justkristenstew, mel, bewitchedagin, etc. they are obsessed with hating rob. one of the even said that they hope rob gets shot with a bomb in iraq.

  • madge

    These sites only post this BS because they know it will give them hits. They don’t care who they trash.

  • Reality Check

    BS. There is no legit buzz about some of his new films not happening. There are ignorant people talking shit about things they know nothing about.

    His next film, The Rover has also already acquired distribution, even before it’s begun filming.
    http://robpattinson.blogspot.fr/2012/06/rob-talks-cosmopolis-and-auditioning.html

    See that–The Rover already has distribution. It’s happening. The other projects are still in development, they aren’t even ready to film.

    And Cosmopolis hasn’t even opened in the biggest market, the US, so it’s premature to call it a dud It’s an R rated indie, not a PG-13 pop corn movie. Only an idiot would expect it to be doing billions at the box office right now, it’s in limited release. Bel Ami was a period drama, and R rated. Those don’t exactly draw massive audiences, ever. When VOD and DVD sales are counted, it will be in the black.

  • Tabloids are trash

    The original tabloid trash, the Daily Fail, compared the SWATH box office to the Cosmopolis box office, that’s what it has to do with it. It was a lame comparison, and wrong, since SWATH hasn’t made a profit yet. You can call it a huge success, but that doesn’t give the investors back a dime. They’ve yet to see a profit.

    And who cares what stupid people say anyway? Time has proved that they knew nothing about what Rob was doing or audition for during his down time. Just like they can look at blurry pictures and think they know what goes on behind closed doors. They know nothing, that’s been proved.

  • Vanessa

    Don’t forget the sicko who posts on imdb as Kiko who makes up stuff such as Rob hooking up with Caitlin Cronenberg and about Kristen cheating on Rob with her married director or costar, or said that Kristen was hiding under a chair at some baseball game where Garrett Hedlund was. There are some realy sickos out there, but there are some sicko Kristen haters too.

    How much nonsense, his career is a success despite being just a start!!

  • guest

    it sucks that this pos story is getting picked up by all the trash rags. hope the daily fail is happy to start bs about someone who hasn’t done anything wrong.

  • Sandra

    The only peril that there will be is that Robert Pattinson will soon outshine everyone else in Hollywood.

  • Buffy_2012

    I think it’s a shame that the media plays Rob and Kristen against each other. Rob and Kristen are two of the most humble actors around, and they both are praised by their peers and others in Hollywood for their strong work ethic. I stay away from sites like Rotten Tomato’s because a great portion of the reviews are based on people’s personal like or dislike for an actor and not the quality of their acting or the film. It’s not just Rob and Kristen’s movies that happens to. I don’t have an issue with negative reviews that are tastefully done and are about the film. There is nothing wrong with a critic stating that they did not like Kristen or Robs acting in a movie. That is their opinion. It’s the critics that take jabs at Kristen or Rob on a personal level, that has nothing to do with the film.

  • Fyi

    Because his movies are not even packing those theatres.

  • http://twitter.com/renate2009 gabriele

    whats with Johnny Depp’s Movies, they tanked, The Tourist and the Vampire Movie, no big deal. Rob will be fine

  • Jack

    Do editors or publishers for that matter still look for right qualification for a writer or journalist?Do they still care for the integrity of their magazine/newspapers?Well I guess not from the look of most of the magazine/newspapers we have right now.Sadly credible writer/journalist are like unicorn now a days…

  • Hb

    funny you have to take swipes at rob in order to defend kristen. you are no better then the ones taking swipes at kristen.

  • guest

    you do know what indie films are right? they are very hard to sell, and only a select few actually turn a profit. kristen’s indies didn’t do to hot. her next indie film probably won’t either. her mainstream moive has made profit, just like rob mainstream movies have. their indies not so much.

  • Buffy_2012

    The nonberts sound just like the nonstens except they hate Rob. I think the nonberts and nonstens should be shipped to a remote island and left there. They can have all the fun in the world irritating the shit out of each other.

  • Buffy_2012

    I think in today’s world editors and publishers care about the money, not their integrity. They do not care that the stories they print are fabricated or certain pieces of information is left out. As long as it sells they could care less.

  • Wtf

    Considering the fact I don’t follow nonberts, I have no idea what they tweet. Most of us “shippers” are fans of Rob as well as Kristen. The nonstens are the worst of any haters and have posted the most vile and degrading post about Kristen, in addition to the many threats they make regarding Kristen.

    No, most shippers are not Rob fans, they’re her fans. They’re the ones who are over invested in a fantasy relationship. Rob’s fans like his films and his personality and don’t care who he dates, it doesn’t concern them. Her fans are the ones who are so interested in who she’s dating. Rob’s fans will still be his fans when he’s openly dating someone else. We’ll see what her fans do.

    not to jump into the who is worse game between you two, but the nonberts are starting to become more and more deranged like the nonstens. they make up lies about him, call him gay slurs, threaten to punch him in the face, one wished for him to get shot in iraq. they are becoming just like the nonstens.

    buffy 2012? isn’t that your twitter name? you bwan, sillynonstens, and many robsten fans turn a blind eye to the nonberts. it’s ok though your bff rosee. talks to sammie, and she is huge rob hater. not shocked that you ignore the rob haters.

  • guest

    the nonstens care a great deal who rob dates, they are crazy. the nonberts care a great deal about who kristen dates, they are crazy. most “shippers” are more kristen fans anyway. rob is only the “good looking boyfriend.” that is why they don’t care if gets hated on.

  • jrt

    Agreed as well!

  • moi

    Thank you GC! Rob is a great actor! No way can a limited release film, like Bel Ami, (15) theaters be compared to big blockbuster kinds of films. And like you said what about RM and WFE – they did well. Ugh those tabloid trash magazines…

  • jrt

    oh and Cosmopolis is in the Fresh category on rotten tomatoes.

  • Janet

    Hardly. His main appeal is looks and he has the kind of looks that peak early and decline after 25. Talent-wise he’s mediocre. But his career is hardly dead. He’s got some good years ahead of him.

  • Buffy_2012

    Who is rosee? Like I said I don’t follow nonberts on my twitter, and there is an anon that messages me about the nonstens. I have never gotten one about a nonbert, nor have I ever seen one their blogs. BWAN and sillynonstens defend Rob every bit as much as they do Kristen, but Kristen recieves the brunt of the hate and threats. Hmmm, I’m pretty sure I called out drunk Cowboy for his Rob insult on this very board, so now say I don’t defend Rob.

  • Buffy_2012

    There is big problem with your theory. I was a Kristen LONG before Twilight. How is a relationship that can be proven with pictures as well as statements from Rob, Kristen, their friends, and everyone who has worked them a fantasy? The only ones living in a fantasy is the nonstens who can’t accept Rob choosing Kristen over them. Am I Robsten fan? Hell fucking yeah I am and I will fangirl over them anytime I damn well please.

  • Buffy_2012

    Oh really. How funny is it that when Rob went to Paris to be with Kristen during fashion his so-called fans were the ones bashing him, and sending e-mails to the distributor of Bel-Ami to complain that Rob needed to be promoting Bel-Ami instead of spending his downtime with Kristen. Many of his so-called fans called him pussy whipped, and said his movies were failures because of his relationship with Kristen. Kristen’s fans don’t pull that bullshit on her.

  • Wtf

    The nonstens have threatened to punch Kristen in the face as hard and as many times as they can, while the others hold her down. They have also threatened to punch Kristen in the stomach to damage her ovaries so she could not get pregnant by Rob. They acted horrible about Kristen attending the WFE premiere, and spent the few weeks before the premiere tweeting what they would do to Kristen if she showed up, with one the tweets stating the death of the leech would be the ultimate payoff. Leech is one of the many nicknames they have for Kristen. One nonsten showed up at the London premiere of BD1 and ended being escorted out by security, and the nonstens have accused Kristen of sleeping around to get movie roles, not to mention the disgusting shit they say about her mom and dad .

  • Wtf

    You need to get your shit straight before accusing anyone of not defending Rob. I think buffy stated many times she does not follow the nonberts or any of their tumblrs. How many times does she have to post that before it registers in your brain?

  • Guest

    Fan of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Together or separate I’m a huge fan of both. These two are unique and seem to have beautiful hearts, great family, friends and so far a great life together. I wish them both nothing but love and happiness for the rest of their lives.

I have not seen so much references to someones claims as I do reading yours. You obviously took alot of time and work to this post. Great job. LOL never thought I would enjoy some ones post more so then the actual article. alot of Reporters do not even put this much work in unfortunately

  • freakinducky

    Case in point….

  • Sandra

    “he`s mediocre” – he is only fucking 26 years old. What do you expect? He is in the process of learning. Everybody in any job is normally mediocre at the age of 26. You only mature with age and at the age of 40 you finally know what you want. (I know what I am talking about ;-) If he keeps going like that, with the obvious determination and physical and mental strength that he has, he will still stick around when his good looks might decline – something that I actually don’t believe will happen. Look at Cruise, DiCaprio, Brosnan, Deppetc. They all still look gorgeous even at a much older age. People still think they are sexy. Many man in fact get more attractive with age.

    I think that Rob will surprise us in the future.

    But even if he doesn’t, even if his career should fail, even if people will never give him that credibility he aspires, even if he will eventually do something completely different: What I wish for him the most is that he will be happy with whatever he does.

    They ‘re just doing that to Rob because they can’t do it anymore to Kristen, Kristen already had no. 1 movie in the BO and definitely can carry a movie.Only her haters think that it’s because of Charlize thats why it went no.1 in the BO.Charlize is in Prementhius too but it didn’t go to no.1,what does that tell you and the movie is very disappointing according to a lot of people.Rob will surprise us one day when he find a a good big budget movie script and then he’ll have that BO movie to his name as well,the man is still young,he’s only 26 for goodness sake,and he’s got a lot of movie lining up to keep him busy for a couple of years ,.I think he’s doing better than Ryan Gosling,Christian (the guy from star wars),Ryan Reynolds,Ian Somerhelder because after 4 years in the limelight he’s still so busy,these guys career are literally zero it peril already long time ago,so i wouldn’t worry about Robs career to peril,its not gonna happen,not unless he choose to stop acting otherwise he’s here to stay,he’s got that charisma that these guys doesn’t have,when it comes to his looks ,Rob is like a fine wine ,he’ll just get better with age.

    The Dominating Discourse of criticism is x versus y. It is lodged in the fundamentals of the Discourse. They do not know any other way to discuss, critique or review a movie, a book, an Event, whatever. It has been embedded in their minds since school days, and all their education has been in learning how to express themselves in this accepted way. IF they deviate, they will have no job. A catch-22 eh. And all the comments do the same thing including yours and now mine.

    It’s a trap that is very hard to get out of. I saw Sound of My Voice with Brit Marling tonight. a treasure of a film. So far taking in 400,000. Her Another Earth which won at Sundance cost 3 million and has taken in under 1 million. Now she and her two partners are really auteurs, not the Cronenberg. Cronenberg has ruined DeLillo’s Cosmopolis and misread it almost completely, and then making error after error in his interviews that are embarrassing. Rob seems to get Eric Packer much more than Cronenberg, but he ,I am sure, was too enthralled by Cronenberg to protest Cronenberg’s reading of the novel. What a mess he made of it. Rob was good, even with a confused director, which is a feat all its own for him.

    I haven’t read more than 2 reviews of Cosmopolis that had any idea of what it was about. The woman who asked him about time was right on. She knew and she knew Cronenberg didn’t know. Seems Rob did though. What he could have done with a director directing from the POV of an intelligent reading of a major novel. But then even Kakutani of the NYTimes didn’t get it. She liked The Lovely Bones though. RIP.

    i agree 110 %, so lets all go see cosmopolis once release in the US…just to show our support to a wonderful, humble human being robert pattinson, I will even see it 30 days in a row just so he knows he is loved by his fans

    None of the films are packing the theatres with the exception of big franchises with huge production budgets and huge promotion budgets. Even Green Lantern fizzled. The small indie films that can be regarded as art do not make money. The small films that are well done but not exceptional don’t do well at the BO. Everything in the US having to do with business is undergoing massive structural change. Things are not going to go back to the way they were. Ever.

    Serious films will continue to be made by people who are making them out of love. The filmmakers making films for profit are up against the wall. Fox Searchlight did Brit Marling’s Sound Of My Voice, so they are distributing films that will have a very long life, but will never be huge BO hits. They will continue to provide a cash stream for years and years. A small cash stream, but when you have thousands of them, that stream starts to look pretty good. This is the wave of the future. Deal with it.

    I always prefer seeing a movie in the theatre. But the selection is decreasing all the time. My independent theatre is non-profit, relies on donations, grants, and fund raising. I sometimes watch a movie with only 5r other people in the the theatre. Film clubs at universities take up the slack. and my discount multi plex has a manager who senses the wave of the future and is starting to go against the suits there to show art films. He is getting ready. I have talked with him, and he knows that the future audience has to be seduced with these films, that they have to learn to enjoy them, that they are not popcorn flicks. The big popcorn flicks will continue until they don’t work anymore. they will saturate themselves out of business. Although I am reading interesting reviews of the comic and sci fi franchises that I find compelling.

  • Kay in Macon

    Me too.

  • Anonymous

    You are correct. They aren’t. Now why is the next question.

    My thoughts on this are that Rob is too eager to please these suits he thinks know more than he does about acting. Clearly now we know Donnellan and Ormerod do not. Cronenberg definitely doesn’t. He has the name, but it is tarnished badly over Cosmopolis and he deserves the trashing he got. It wasn’t enuf IMO.

    The question is, is he willing to go the route that Brit Marling, Cahill, and Zal are taking. Absolute gems, very low budget. There are some major ones out there that are dazzling, far better than Cosmopolis, SWATH, WFE, etc. Written, acted, produced and directed by themselves. If Rob Pattinson gets these women into considering good books and small indie movies, he will have done a great service for them. No pun intended.

    It would help both of them if they studied with a superlative acting professional. Grotowski if her were still alive. Lee Strasberg whom Monroe studied with after she was a star, but he’s dead now too. Yoshi Oida is still alive. So is Blanka Zizka. Both are the real deals.

    Depp is not choosing well. Cruise can’t choose well as his past choices are no longer in and trendy. Leo chooses well. Joli doesn’t anymore but I think her focus is on her family and now directing.

    for crying out loud, this bs of “who is worse” is that…bs. both the nonstens and nonberts are nasty hateful vile people. hate is hate, no matter how much you dress it up.

    Hey cast the mote out of thine own eye. You comment regularly on a site that has papp pics and you complain about the papps not leaving them alone while you are clicking on the pics. darbsil or whatever was complaining yesterday I think about the papps and that they should stay at least 100 feet away and in the very same comment was asking for a closer image so Kristen and Rob’s stamps numbers could be read. Are you for real!

    snow white is a mixture of many things. it’s a fantasy movie, those usually do pretty well. now snow white is a modest hit, but it’s not a flop. neither rob nor kristen have made mainstream flops. their indies are arthouse indies, and those 9 times out of 10 don’t make bank. as for rob, so far the only movies he has signed up for post twilight are indie films. he seemed very excited about starting that mission movie, and the rover. those films aren’t going to make bank either. the media will be on him, until he takes the easy way and picks a super hero, fantasy, or some nicholas sparks movie. right now though, he seems to want to focus on indies/art house films.

    So why was Buffy’s first comment on this article defending Rob as well as Kristen? Since she is a Robsten fan and you classify them as shippers or Kristen fans only, please explain her comment defending them both.

  • Syndi

    Because people like to downplay the threats and hate against Kristen. The verbal abuse, threats, and stalking have been done to Kristen since Twilight started. Yes, Rob has haters but they are no where near as hateful, vile, and low class as the nonstens are. Rob has never had one of his haters show up at his movie premiere tweeting threats about hurting him. Kristen has.

    I met Robpatz last year while attending a press conference in Brussels. I was very close and I can say, that he isn’t what you can say a smart guy. So I don’t understand why girls appreciate. As movie reporter and bloger, I watch movies before they go in theater, and talk with journalists friends……They aren’t nice with his actors skills…I saw. Water for……Bel Ami….and Metropolis, none of these worked here. Very very bad review for the last one…..He may say thanks to the Twilight saga….where with less words he wasn’t that bad….Really, he isn’t a good actor but still gain popularity because the franchise. Sorry.

  • kikay

    It’s your job to say whatever you want to say in your blog to get hits like HL,i can’t fault you for that, you have to make a living even to lie your ass of.And he’s not popular because of the franchise ,people see the movie because they want to see Rob ,not Edward.For sure after twilight he’ll be as popular as ever,just give him time.

  • kikay

    For sure after he make that Mission :Blacklist and the Rover,director and producer will see that he can actually carry an action movie or similar to that. I can see Rob as an action star,he’s got that manly looks,when he mature a little bit and buff up a bit ,he’ll be like Clint Eastwood.He’s got that side burn thing going on plus the come hither me or don’t mess with me look that i’m sure he can pull of once he mature a little bit.

  • Rez

    Errrrrrr right…and you can’t even spell right his movie titles. GET IT! …also you have to be very close to state that someone is smart…tons and tons of interviews can’t give you a small idea of that right?? LOL

  • guest

    I am not a blogger. I´m just a regular movie goer.
    Pattz is average when it comes to acting talent specially when he is compared to other young Brits today.
    Daniel Radcliffe, Eddie Redmayne, Andrew Garfield even his BFF
    Tom Sturridge has more talent in his little finger than this over rated one franchise wonder
    named Pattz.
    The male polutation sees and accepts this more than the females who only see a cute face.
    Even Chris Hemsworth who has practically nothing to work on as far as dept material in SWATH has more acting prowess than Pattz.

  • Vanessa

    You are a “movie reporter” and you can’t name the film titles… So you are not very credible. Metropolis, LOL! In fact he got excellent reviews for Cosmopolis (the accurate title), he got better reviews than the film itself. So get your facts right and the film titles too…

  • Vanessa

    Actually they were at a wedding in NJ. But the girl who tweeted it is from Hawaii.

  • Vanessa

    LOL for Radcliffe being a better actor, this guy has a blank voice and speaks false… As for Chris Hemsworth, talk about being one note, he is monolothic…

  • XYZ

    It is because nonstens are blinded by their jealousy. They are the dumbest fans in the world of fandom. Whereas the nonberts – they are a bit smarter than nonstens because they know hurting Rob means hurting Kristen.

    Hey cowboy, your horse is loose. Go & get your horse and don’t come back here.

    I ‘ve seen these people act ,they are no better than Rob himself,They are all young whose trying to get their footage in the film industry,but Rob is way ahead of them when it comes to being successful and popular,that’s why we’re taking about Rob right now not them.

  • XYZ

    me three.

  • kikay

    Yup,they are at the producers wedding in NJ,and Rob is looking so tired and stressed,probably from reading all this bullshit that circulating about his career being in peril.That’s one thing i don’t like about Rob ,he’ seems too be freaking emotional,he said he read some of his haters comments and that’s all he thinks about before and after the movie he’s making.He just give these stupid bitches some satisfaction ,don’t comment at all Rob,coz whatever you do or say they’ll always have something bitchy to say about you.Just do your thing ,you only have a few haters that used different names,they are too delusional to think that if they can’t have you they might as well ruin you,please don’t be a sucker for that .And another thing even the most experience and famous actors like Kevin Costner(Water world),Jhonny Depps(Tourist,and the recent vampire thing that he made)Angelina Jolie (Tourist))Tom Cruise(Rock of Ages) had a FLOP movie,it happens but they move on until they make another hit movie again.You will have one too someday,just be gutsy about it like your girlfriend,you see they can’t bother her anymore with that bullshit.

  • Anonymous

    I hope all these nonstens know karma is a bitch. All this hate they put towards Kristen, will eventually be their downfall.

  • Tired

    I don’t understand why it is important to bash Robert and Kristen on a daily basis? Personally, I have enjoyed all of their movies and find critics writing bs to justify their jobs. Movies are suppose to entertain people, are they not? Their careers are not based on blogs or media outlets but on the fans who watch their movies. Watch their movies , encourage them when you can, and lets all stay away from the media spots with screaming critical headlines and trash talk that goes no where. And who cares how they will look in 10 to 20 years because eventually, hopefully, they will just get old. I like the comment about each being just happy with their life, period.

  • Christine

    I completely agree. Their careers are fine, especially Pattinson’s (his performance in Cosmopolis is pure perfect in the way he delivers the lines and his full body language. He HAS BECOME Eric Packer. If he makes movies like this, he will be a very busy and successful actor very soon.). They are making millions, they do the films they want to and choose to do, not the ones they would have to do to to be able to stay in business. The don’t have to do any cheap stuff like Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend’s penis-birthday cake to be in the media.I think all this hatred and bullshit comes from the fact that they are not trashy celebrities who are desperate to show their lives in the tabloids, but private people and ambitious actors. The tabs and webloids just can’t handle it.

  • Tina

    Sometimes I think Rob should just walk away with his millions and give them all the finger. It’s just so laughable and pitiful how overinvested in Robert Pattinson’s failure so many are. You can see that it is all consuming with many critics and the haters. Someone must pay for Twilight and that someone must be Robert Pattinson! It’s nonsensical, but he’s a well rounded guy who isn’t playing the Hollywood game and isn’t going to lose out if it doesn’t work in that town because he is too damn good and intelligent a person that he will adapt. He fell into it to begin with. He’s never wanted the star machine. But his haters really are something else. And Rob needs to lose Stewart and that unhealthy relationship.

  • younglove

    Have you seen Moonrise Kingdom? That seems to be doing well for an indie. I really enjoyed it. I love Anderson’s little tableaus, and Rushmore is possibly my favorite movie.

  • Insatnlf

    Exactly. Cronenberg has helped Pattinson a lot. The movie (and the book too) is highbrow and difficult, but absolutely brilliant at the same time. It was a very tough part to play but Pattinson was brave enough to take it and did an excellent job. He is flawless as Packer. I am a huge fan of the book, and believe me people, I had read several dozen reviews of the movie before I went to see it and Pattinson’s performance was highly praised in about 80% of them, even if the movie itself was not that well received. Anyway, it’s Cronenberg and DeLillo: love it or hate it, but you can’t deny how good they are in what they do.

  • Anonymous

    I like Rushmore too. It hasn’t come to my indie theatre yet or maybe never or hopefully maybe late. We often get them months after they come out. I just saw Sound of My Voice with Brit Marling and it is wonderful. This is what Rob and Kristen ought to be doing not folling around with the big Other, but just doing it themselves. Hopefully Marling, Cahill and Zal will give them the courage. Another Earth was their first. Both very low budget.
    Herzog started out as a union welder. He used his own money for his first film, that one financed the next and so on until other money found him because of his excellence. Not like the Cronenberg.

    Well said. It’s bullying groupthink mentality, so tired of it.

  • Buffy_2012

    I’m not going to bash Daniel, Eddie, Andrew or Tom, because they have made their mark in movies and each are talented in different ways. But if you think Rob was a one hit wonder who will be forgotten you are wrong. Regardless of any haters The Twilight Saga will go down in history for the most beloved love stories of the most iconic onscreen couple Edward and Bella. They are this generations Rhett and Scarlett. Rob and Kristen’s off-screen chemistry translated on-screen making Edward and Bella’s love story come to life, and making the Twilight Saga a world wide phenomenon. Rob’s nonTwilight movies proved he is more than just Edward Cullen. His performance as Tyler in Remember Me was flawless and showed that Rob can take any movie role and make it his own. Rob really shined in WFE, and I loved the on-screen pairing of Rob and Reese. I can’t wait to see Cosmopolis, and I think that Twilight fans need watch Cosmopolis with an open mind and not limit Rob to just being Edward. Rob and Kristen have a bright future ahead, and these two humble actors deserve every bit of the success they have now and in the future.

    I feel sorry for you, I really do. You sound just like the “fat hags” you spend every waking hour it seems denouncing. Seek help.

  • Buffy_2012

    Maybe Rob would be better off giving you the finger. Rob is the only one that must pay for Twilight? Open your eyes. Kristen has had to pay dearly. She is trashed, and subjected to some the worst verbal abuse at the hands of women who claim to be Rob’s true fans. Neither Rob or Kristen play the Hollywood game. They are true to themselves, and are 2 of the most respected actors in Hollywood. The only reason critics hate them is because they have had more success in just a few years of acting than most other actors who have been acting for 30yrs. Rob loves and respects Kristen and I don’t think he would consider anyone who trashes her a fan. Rob and Kristen’s relationship is not unhealthy, it the crazy obessed fans, and haters that are unhealthy.

  • kikay

    I’m sure Rob wouldn’t lose a sleep if he lose you as a fan,fans like you are the ones who fuel all this nonsense toward Rob and create all this trouble regarding his career.

  • guest

    - “GO back To London and take your fat hag with you” – If Rob goes back to London, he’ll take Kristen with him for sure. It makes Kristen a fat hag. I take it Cowboy is Kristen’s fan but he is so stupid, he insulted her too. Idiot.

    Indiewire said that cosmopolis tanked in canada. I wonder how it did this weekend and have no way of finding out because even box office mojo wont post anything. All I get is that cosmopolis is opening in the US around august 16. I dont think rob will fade away even if some of his movies dont do well. He is unique so he’ll be around for awhile. Kristen too will always have something on the go. She has really good people managing her career. And they both have made a lot of money.

    Cronenberg is brilliant and highly respected. Cosmopolis may yet turn out to be a cult film.

  • TracyEq

    This story is laughable because this sap went to journalism school and got stuck writing this crap. I bet both Pattinson and Stewart are better writers than this supposed “news blog journalist”. It must be a mighty slow summer to completely make up hot topics about one of Hollywoods top young actors in order to bring traction to your sorry excuse for a site. And the trick is you blame your lame story in DailyFail and HollywoodLoser instead of coming up with your own articles. This entire story is a false and doesn’t even deserve a response. National Enquirer man gives birth is a more credible story than this.

    Probably it will turn into a cult film. Cronenberg is brilliant or was brilliant?

    I wondered why green lantern fizzled until I saw it. it is damn boring and all those special effects couldnt save it. someone forgot that special effects can only do so much and if the audience doesnt care about the actors, its game over. so I think cosmopolis will start out slow and hopefully pick up interest. juliet binoche is one of the finest actresses around and I really want to see the film but I’ll wait til it comes to on demand tv. I know I’m in the minority but I thought breaking dawn was not a good film and breaking dawn 2 will be the same.

  • Lucycoe2

    I have not seen either of Robs latest two movie come to my theaters in Michigan!! They say they did not do well at all in America!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe because we all did not get a chance to see them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY WANT TO SEE ROBS MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rose

    No, the film has to double its production budget to make a profit, so the number it has to hit is $340 million, not $297. It still isn’t showing a profit at this point.

    And the executives at Universal can’t lie about how much it cost because they have to answer to stockholders and every film is audited after it leaves theaters, so they account for every penny. SWATH has not made a profit so far.

    ROBERT PATTINSON HAS THE AMBITION AND DRIVE TO BE THE BEST HE CAN BE AS AN ACTOR. HE CAN HAVE MANY CAREERS-CANT SAY THAT ABOUT MANY ACTORS-I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE IS AN INTELLECTUAL,ARTICULATE,A MULTITALENTED MUSICIAN,AND LOVES TO READ,WRITE, ETC. HE IS ONE OF A KIND. NEVER MIND HIS LOOKS,THEY TAKE YOU SO FAR IN LIFE. ROBERT PATTINSON WILL SOMEDAY WRITE A FABULOUS SCREENPLAY FOR FILM. I WISH HIM ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD. HIS PARENTS DID A GREAT JOB IN RAISING HIM. I AM SURE THEY ARE VERY PROUD OF HIM
