While Kristen Stewart was the first and only pick of Catherine Hardwicke for the Twilight movie, Robert Pattinson went to the audition after a rather desperate call from Hardwicke to his agent after having seen circa 3000 candidates who didn’t turn out to be the right Edward Cullen. He had read the script 6 months earlier but wasn’t interested in playing the “perfectly good looking” guy. And, living in London, he wasn’t aware of the hype of the book among the teengirls. The cinephile he is, I’m pretty sure that if he hadn’t starred in the movie, he woud’ve hated Twilight as much as all his peers But after a desastrous audition for another movie and in the idea that Twilight would be a rather indie movie he went for it, portrayed Edward Cullen like a tortured character instead of the perfect man and caused the global phenomenom. Not Kristen but Robert did! On the other hand, I think that Kristen, being a teen herself, was well aware of the possible success and wanted to do the project in order to become more famous and get better roles. After the Saga ended, Rob went back to the experimental, art house cinema, following his intention to work with established directors and to use his fame in order to support starting film makers. For that alone he deserves the respect and support of the cinephiles, ’cause how many would do that? It isn’t known but that was a mission of him, he talked about in a Canadian talkshow during promo for Cosmopolis.
