Until “Mildred Pierce” came along, Turner’s coolest assignment was a small role in “Remember Me” starring Robert Pattinson. It made her the envy of the schoolyard.

“I didn’t really get to talk to him,” she reports of the “Twilight” hunk. “But I was in his presence. And that counts.”

Becoming a Hollywood heartthrob was never on Robert Pattinson’s to-do list. But he has become one of the hottest teen idols in the world. The poster boy continues to be idolized for his role as vampire Edward Cullen, opposite Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan, in the wildly popular Twilight film series.

And the fantasy blockbuster maintains its momentum, with the release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part I on Nov. 18, followed by Part II in November of 2012. The Twi-hard craze shows no signs of letting up.

Reminding the 24-year-old that he must endure at least two more years of adoration from devoted zealots makes him grimace a little. “None of us ever thought Twilight was going to be so massive,” admits Pattinson during an interview in L.A. while promoting Eclipse.

As all-encompassing as the phenomenon turned out to be, the actor has been wise enough to act in different genres along the way. Last year, he starred in the romantic drama, Remember Me, with Emilie de Ravin, Lena Olin, Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan.

Out later in the year is his controversial role as a 19th-century Paris reprobate in the R-rated adaptation of the Guy de Maupassant story, Bel Ami. “It was really fun to do, because he is a completely amoral character.”

And then there is his measured performance in the movie version of Vancouver-born Sara Guen’s novel, Water for Elephants. Opening April 22, the Francis Lawrence-directed melodrama follows the exploits of Jacob, played by Pattinson, a veterinary university student who abandons his Depression-era middle-class life after his parents are killed in a car accident. Jacob ends up joining a circus to help care for the animals, but gets embroiled in the dysfunction of his new surrogate family.

Reese Witherspoon plays Marlena, the equestrian star of the Benzini Brothers’ Most Spectacular Show on Earth, and the object of Jacob’s affection. Christoph Waltz plays Marlena’s charming husband, a sadistic animal trainer and ringmaster.

“I like that Jacob jumps on a train out of desperation to find something else,” says Pattinson of his character. “He ends up falling in love with the star attraction, who’s also the wife of the ringmaster, and all sorts of chaos ensues.”

Besides the romantic turmoil, the actor appreciated the depiction of the 1930s in the U.S. Somehow, it felt familiar to the London-born lad. “I always had an affinity for that era,” he says. “I’ve always wanted to do a movie around that time.”

‘Remember Me’ (March 12) – Coming off the strength of his first two ‘Twilight’ hits, Robert Pattinson’s serious turn in this romantic drama got more press than box office for the film’s somewhat controversial 9/11 twist ending and the fact that most Twi-hards kept their distance.

‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ (June 30) – Twi-hards continued to line up in droves, beginning with midnight screenings, to drink in the third chapter of the Stephenie Meyer vamps vs. werewolves saga this summer. The world got plenty of shirtless shots of Taylor Lautner, not to mention the big-screen ‘Twilight’ parody ‘Vampires Suck.’

From LA Times:
Last week, we wondered which film was the most under-appreciated of 2010. Through tweets, e-mails and comments, many of you weighed in with your choices.
Some of the more popular picks didn’t surprise — they were big-release movies with a distinct sensibility that got dissed despite (or because) they felt unique — “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” most notably among them, or even the Sept. 11 romantic tear jerker “Remember Me.”
