Edgar Wright and Jennifer Euston confirm Robert Pattinson auditioned for the role of Lucas Lee in ‘SCOTT PILGRIM vs THE WORLD’

Vanity Fair recently spoke with Edgar Wright, Director of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and his casting director, Jennifer Euston to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the film. This is what they had to say about Rob:

Take Robert Pattinson. Just before the release of Twilight launched him to international fame, the actor came in to audition for the aforementioned Lucas Lee—a pompous actor who’s one of the seven evil exes Scott must defeat in order to secure the hand of Ramona (Winstead).

“I remember it vividly,” Wright said of Pattinson’s audition. “He did a much more intense read of it as well. Obviously, Robert is an incredible actor and someone who I’d love to work with now. But it was a very different take from what Chris did.”

“I remember we were asking him about Twilight, and he was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t know. I just saw it. It’s okay, I guess. I don’t know,’” Euston said of Pattinson.

“He was really good at an American accent,” added Jones.
