Just yesterday, FEARnet’s Joe McCabe caught up with Robert “sexy-vampire-man” Pattinson on his press tour as he zipped through Philly. And as if Pattinson’s mere presence wasn’t cathartic enough, the bouffant-iful neck nibbler gave us the scoop on Twilight 2 AND 3, as well as what exclusive deleted scenes we might see on the DVD! Read all about it after the jump and check back for the entire interview. We’ll have it up soon, and it’s chock full o' sexy vampire goodness. [Editor’s Note: Er, what?!]
Can you talk about any scenes you shot that won’t be in the theatrical cut of Twilight, but that we might later see on the DVD?
There’s quite a lot of stuff. We fought the big fight scene at the end within the first week, and I was really convinced that, the way I established the character arc, that Edward needed to be 100 percent demonic in the last fight. The “monster,” which he always says he is to Bella, I wanted him to become that at the end. I kind of psyched myself up a week to do this nuts fight. As soon as I started doing it I don’t think anyone expected me to do it like that, so they were like “Uh, tone it down.” I had maybe 13 takes where my direction was “tone it down” on every single take. I had no idea what was going on. I would love to see what the first take was, especially after seeing the final thing, with one bit of a fight with me and Cam – where we were growling at each other where we both really into it, like we were vampires. When we watched the playback afterwards, there was a big bright light, and we didn’t realize…we thought it was kind of dark and you could just see these two guys, one with a bouffant haircut and the other with his abs just there like “Aaaaaargh!” [Laughs.] It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I hope that’s on the DVD, it’s quite funny.
After seeing the immense response, will there be other films? And have you signed on to any other films yet?
I went into it when it was a trilogy and signed on for the next two. But I guess it depends on how much money each of them makes. [Laughs.]
