Will Rob Pattinson be around after Twilight? – POLL
March 25, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
“Can Rob Pattinson become a real movie star?” is the question being asked by The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Biz Blog.
It does make you think. Pattinson has grown to fame and become a household name because of the “Twilight” movies and his role as sultry vampire Edward Cullen. But will he continue to get good roles that don’t appeal to the teen/tween crowd?
His first major role, as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies, appealed to kids and adults of all ages. Then came, at about the same time, “Twilight” and “Little Ashes,” an R-rated movie in which he played artist Salvador Dali.
Next up is “New Moon,” in which he again plays vampire Edward Cullen, but he’s also close to signing for “Memoirs,” a dramatic movie about family tragedy.
Let’s face it. Playing Edward Cullen made Pattinson a teen sensation, but did it make him a brilliant actor? Will he be able to play these grown-up roles and become a great actor? Or is he already a great actor?

Maybe you people should also watch Curse of the Ring. Rob potrayed the King’s younger brother in the movie, and I was quite impressed with how well he acted in this movie. He brought the innocense and frustration of a young man with a fighting spirit and a desire for adventure so well.
I am a 40 year old (according to my kids 21 again) woman and I have worshipped the best of them. The vampire Lestat in Queen of the Damned was awesome but could not bring out the deep feelings Rob potrays so well.
Well done Rob! You rock even older women’s sock off hehehe.
I have just seen the Haunted Airman. This performance will seal the deal. He is an excellent actor. I’m highly impressed!
