12.5 million AND 7.5% of the gross!? That's insane! According to Google, that would put him at about 150 million dollars total for the Twilight franchise.
I put Elijah Wood in this group too. After the Lord of The Rings he gets to do what he wants. It might not all be great, but the choices are always interesting.
He famously hates Twilight and it's very funny to me personally. I wouldn't be surprised at all If he was trying to make it less relevant in his career.
no different from McConaughey being the former king of romcom. then in a span of two years, he did True Detective, Dallas Buyer's Club, Wolf of Wall Street, and Interstellar.
Right! He’s a very versatile actor. I’ll never just tie him down to twilight. When I saw the movie Water for elephants, I already knew that he had a star quality.
This might be a controversial take, but I honestly think Robert Pattinson is this generation's Marlon Brando. An amazing transformation on screen, an eccentric public persona, a sex symbol of sorts (he's not even my type, but I can see it). And like Brando, I predict he's only going to get better with age. I barely even remember he was in Twilight at this point, his other work has been that exciting lately.
I've been rinsing his films of late, fast becoming one of my favourite actors of all time. His role in Rover was absolutely mint, one of his best roles, even if the film itself is pretty mid
I was very reluctant to watch the batman, because i didnt think he could pull it off. Im a comic collector and Batman is one ive been collecting for a long time, with issues going back to the mid 50s. I just didnt think he coukd do it, but my grandson convinced me to watch it with him and i was blown away by his ability to do the role. That motivated me to check out his other movies and i went from disregarding him to him being in my top 10 favorite actors. He csn do it all, and RP disappears, taking on whatever character hes playing completely. I thunk he will eventually be looked at in the same regards as Daniel D. LEWIS
I apologized for hating him because of Twilight (I still don’t like this movie), but now I like him. I started noticing his great acting in The King (2019). From there, I started loving his newer movies.
What is the actual story here? Why does a vampire sparkle in the sunshine instead of burning to ashes? I tried to watch the first movie, but it was so bad that I shut it off pretty quickly. So I don't know anything about the sparkling other than the fact that it happens.
Honestly I don’t think people really care all that much for that movie franchise except for the people who actually still read the books and still watch the movies
I think that character impacted him so much That he's spending the rest of his career trying to find a weirder one to play... A true deconstruction of art
The people that still obsess over Twilight and the memes that spawned with it have either never matured past high school or have but never accomplished anything else in life and need something to make themselves feel better.
Yeah he really impressed me in pretty much every performance outside of twilight, and I was ready to hate him too because in twilight his performance was abysmal.
I guess putting talent in shit isn't enough to fix shit huh?
But yes, every time I see him I get surprised. Dude got range
Both have gone to great lengthz to shed their franchise imagez, wantedly choosing challenging, unconventional rolez. 😉 Swiss Army Man, Jungle, Guns Akimbo etc.
What’s crazy is that it’s for completely opposite reasons. Radcliffe was set for life after Harry Potter, so he could do whatever project sounds fun to him. Pattinson is building up his reputation as an actor by carefully choosing projects that are likely to succeed and can help show off his talent. That’s why Radcliffe is so often in random films that you’d never expect him to take, while Pattinson is always in huge blockbusters.
He was fantastic in Prinetime. It isn’t an over the top performance but it’s powerful in how his character quietly becomes unglued as the film reaches its crescendo.
Hes very quickly become one of my top favorite actors since around covid times. The movies he's in are peak, and his performances are varied and of top quality. He's a phenomenal actor.
If anyone hasn't seen one of his lesser known movies called Good Time, I highly recommend it. Directed by the Safdie brothers, and one of the Safdies acts in it alongside Robert.
Lies. Edward's been alive so long, these are all juat prequels to twilight. The universe revolves full circle, like in Futurama. It's just 10 feet lower.
Great actor with great range and likes what he does for a living, and who also has a great agent that lines him up with roles he absolutely destroys. If you haven't watched Good Time then do yourself a favour a set aside some time to watch it.
I am just going to say it. Twilight wasn't half as bad as people make it out to be. Re-watched it with the wife recently. There was only 1 movie that i disliked. The only other bad part is that they never actually finished.
I think the worst part about Twilight is how it cannibalized the vampire and werewolf genres. Before it, we had Blade, vampire horror stories, Underworld, and Van Helsing. But thanks to the success of Twilight (and vampire diaries), vampirism became synonymous with young-women romance, don't get me wrong, this theme existed before these movies, but afterward, there was no coming back
Eh I watched parts of the movies with my fiancée recently, and everything from the acting to the special effects were trash. Only the story wasn't but how can you make it interesting with such bad acting
How you get there isn’t important, I’m glad we get to see a great actor. Heath Ledger wasn’t much more than a pretty boy before the dark knight and I’m glad we got that at least.
Hell it worked for ringing Starr, a voice over actor doing children’s train stories before becoming the drummer of the Beatles /s
Honestly at this point, id go back and watch twilight BECAUSE he was in it . And lets be honest Kristin Stewart killed it in underwater and would be an awesome Ashley Ripley.
60 million usd for 4 years of work is a good paycheck. Hell it's a Hella great paycheck. The movie series appeal to millennial and early gen z girls. He then transition to great movies. Its cool.
I never saw a twilight movie, and I kinda saw him as the vampire dude. Robert Pattinson has crazy range as an actor dude is phenomenal. Definitely one of my favorite actors at the moment.
Just saw Primetime today. Bobby is simply phenomenal. When you hear the voice, it sounds like Hansen talking. Love that Bobby's recognised for his talent. 💙
I think he did Twilight purely to make money, so he could later afford to pursue roles that appealed to him artistically rather than having to take roles just for money. I will die on this hill. Fight me.
Wouldn’t you? That sh!t turned him into a good actor. He used it as fuel to become great at his craft. MFer landed Batman. And he made us love him in the role. Twilight is long forgotten, he has put in the work.
I dont forget he was in twilight, but I do forgive him. He's done some GREAT roles since and has also said he didnt like making them. I bet being set for life from those movies have afforded him the freedom to do whatever roles he wants, like Daniel Radcliffe after hardy Potter... dude literally played a dead body Swiss army knife lol
I swear I laughed so hard at lighthouse him and de foe were amazing in it. The cinema showing I went to of it was absolutely packed. A lot of laughs on the audience.
Halfway through Mickey17 I realised that he's the twilight guy. Honestly he got some range and talent. Feels like twilight damaged his reputation more than it helped
He made Twilight so he could be free to do these movies non-stop afterwards. For actors its often "one for you, one for them". So one good movie, then one cash grab. After Twilight he had the money and the game to do it all for himself.
I was yesterday years old when I found out James Patterson played Batman at one point, but why would he want people to think he was an ass associated with twilight that’s what made him
