Robert Pattinson Sings, Twilight Again & Dining in Volterra
Filed under: New Releases, Fandom, Home Entertainment, Trailers and Clips
Robert Pattinson is sporting a pretty interesting balance of cinematic gigs. On the one hand, he's the drool-producing heartthrob from Harry Potter and -- most especially -- Twilight. On the other hand, he's playing the awkward young man in films like The Bad Mother's Handbook and How to Be. It's not exactly the sort of superstar roster we're used to (especially once you add Dali into the mix!), and always makes me wonder what we can expect from the future.But for now, just in time for the New Moon craze, his music flick How to Be will hit DVD shelves on November 17. In honor of the event, a clip from the film has hit the net, courtesy of Access Hollywood. (Check it out after the jump.) The video finds Robert's character psyching himself up for a performance in the mirror, before throwing the harmonica in his mouth and hitting the stage to sing a song called "I'm Doing Fine." If you're not used to his singing, this is not really an indication of his singing voice (go here to hear one of his actual songs). I'm guessing he's supposed to be playing a crappy singer?
In other Twilight news, Variety reports that the first vampy film will be rereleased in theaters for one night -- November 19 -- as a warm-up to New Moon. And lastly -- The Hollywood Reporter posts that Washington is opening up a family restaurant called Volterra to cater to the hordes of fans that descend upon the state. Does that mean a sea of wait-staff who must wear heavy white makeup and long red robes? Hired actors to sit as the Volturi members and randomly bite into customers when they're hungry? Let's hope the theme stays only with the name, or that might be a little much. Or, at the very least, a little too raunchy for the family crowd.

He's a very versatile actor and very under rated. I'm looking forward to him playing a white indian comanche warrior in Unbound Captives and the uber cad Georges Duroy in Bel Ami. Brilliant roles and top scripts too.

I'm hoping Rob's next films are much better than the first ones. He'll have to preform much better for me to continue to watch.

Bought and just finished watching The Haunted Airman and it was fabulous. He is an extremely talented actor as long as he works with other talented actors. But, no matter though, because he can carry the entire show, such as the amount of time he was in Twililght, it was he I was watching the entire movie,.
