Finally! A Robert Pattinson Documentary!
Filed under: Documentary, Romance, Deals, Fandom, Distribution, Newsstand
When I first saw Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I thought "Well, he's cute." I never thought about him again. (When it comes to Potter crushes, mine will always be the dude with the long blonde mane.) Who could imagine that his would be the face that would launch a thousand shrieks? Still, Pattinson's story isn't that unusual and girls have screamed and cried over plenty of handsome lads, and will probably do so until the end of time. But is it really worth filming a documentary about?Someone thought so. According to Screen Daily, UK distributor Revolver has snapped up Robsessed, a feature length documentary that studies the "the teenage phenomenon known as being Rob-sessed" (also known as puberty). It'll follow Pattinson's career from a relative nobody to being Edward Cullen and a man who gets hit by a cab while running from fans. Hopefully it will take some time and examine all his likes, dislikes, solve what's going on with his hair, or reveal just what he was doing at my downtown Denver fish-and-chips place. (I'm not kidding. There's a signed photo of him at the restaurant that thanks them personally for "the best fish and chips!")
The documentary will be released in the US and the UK in November to coincide with the release of New Moon. They're also planning to release a boxed set that includes Pattinson's little seen (we wonder why) 2006 film Haunted Airmen. So much Pattinson in one month might just inspire someone to film Robsessed 2: The Reckoning.

This will be more pointless than Miley Cyrus's autobiography and more empty than Robert Pattinson's head. Although, now that I think about it, it is kind of a smart move. The target demographic is all the braindead 13 year old girls that think the Twilight books were good so he'll probably make a lot of money. Sadly.

I feel sort of bad for Rob. He's a pretty decent actor (Little Ashes) and this mania is probably going to bury his career. I can't imagine it's his fault that girls are fainting everywhere for over him.
