I haven’t watched any of the YA movies since Twilight, so I can’t comment about Allegiant or The Hunger Games, but Rolling Stone magazine, however, did a write up “Allegiant Fail Why YA Movies Dying is Bad for Everyone” and mentioned Robert Pattinson in their article.
“Bella Swan and Edward Cullen may live forever in the supposed bliss of a deathless union, but the genre they jumpstarted has proven to be decidedly mortal. …
If Hollywood failed to heed what YA movies say about the perils of conformity, the stars of said movies have taken those lessons to heart, charting bold careers that exist in defiance of what might have been expected for them. …
And then there’s Robert Pattinson. The squeal-inducing supernova at the center of the YA galaxy has inarguably taken the most aggressive turn towards unconventional fare; some actors subvert their image, but Patterson [sic] has torpedoed his. Since first collaborating with David Cronenberg for the director’s characteristically deranged Cosmopolis, Pattinson has played a mentally challenged guy in a gnarly post-apocalyptic Western (The Rover), a fuckboy limo driver (Maps to the Stars), and Lawrence of Arabia (Queen of the Desert). Each of these films has found the actor pushing closer towards greatness and further away from his original fans; if we’re lucky, perhaps he’ll take some of those fans with him.”
There’s no “perhaps” I’m in.
Bravo.! we the true fans have never faulted,we have watched him go from one magnetic role to another.as he becomes a Directors dream,he has no fear in the rolls he takes on in fact he welcomes them. The brilliance of Robert Pattinson is burning very bright, and the fans that have followed him from the beginning saw the talent in the tall beautiful young man.
Just like Maria and everyone who posts on RPI “I’m in”
Yep. I’m in too!
‘pushing closer towards greatness’ – Oh Yes! Fist-pumps
I wouldn’t still be a fan if I wasn’t interested in these new projects. Being a Rob fan is very rewarding
