'Twilight' DVD: Best of Robert Pattinson's audio commentary
"I had read that Robert Pattinson was a cut-up on the Twilight DVD commentary track with director Catherine Hardwicke and costar Kristen Stewart, but I needed to hear it (and 122 minutes of his British accent) for myself. The man's obsession with Edward's sculpted eyebrows really is quite entertaining. The highlights:
10:20 "See, that look is a very meaningful look," he says, laughing, as Edward tries to read Bella's mind the first time he see her in the cafeteria. Self-deprecating humor, check.
11:00 "I didn't actually know they were rolling when we were doing this scene," he says, chuckling (presumably) at how bad his acting is when Edward first gets a whiff of Bella in biology. "...I was just kinda cold."
15:40 "That was really impressive...," he says when Stewart's Bella slips and falls on some ice. "What was impressive?" Stewart asks. "That falling over thing," he says. You can hear her rolling her eyes. "That's tough.... Do you just fall on your ass?" "Yeah, I just basically fell down." (This was funny, because he was actually trying to be serious, I think. It won't happen again.)
17:00 Pattinson insists we all have to see the audition tape he made of the scene where Edward returns from his hunting trip and finally speaks to Bella in biology. "It's the funniest thing you've ever seen in your entire life." He says he performed it with a guy, who did a woman's voice. It's all very earnest. "Dude, I'm glad you didn't send that, right?" Hardwicke asks, sounding genuinely concerned that if he had, he wouldn't have gotten the role. (That's why he didn't send it.)
19:22 And the eyebrow obsession begins as the close-ups on Stewart and Pattinson get closer and closer in biology:
Pattinson: We have very similar eyebrows. [Laughs]
Hardwicke: Rob! We had to pluck the heck out of your eyebrows.
Pattinson: S--- hurt. Aw, man.
21:19 Pattinson says he never understood the physics of how the van that almost hits Bella spins and then goes straight sideways. "Those of us that are physics majors get it," Hardwicke says.
22:18 Carlisle's entrance, swinging through the hospital doors. Pattinson compares it to a J. Lo video. Then realizes he means Beyoncé. "Peter [Facinelli] would be so good at doing that. I want him to do the Beyoncé biopic." I have no idea what he's talking about, but I like it when he stumps Hardwicke. This will happen again.
24:30 Bella confronts Edward in the hospital and he tells her what she thinks she saw happen in the parking lot is wrong. "The moral of this scene is never trust a guy who plucks his eyebrows. You know, there's always something up. Something suspect."
26:30 Mike asks Bella to the prom. Stewart says she saw that actor recently and he looked good, older..
Pattinson: I've already aged about six years.
Hardwicke: [A little too steamily?] Well, yeah.
Pattinson: I look haggard. Might as well recast. [Laughs]
Hardwicke: Yeah. I'm sure we can do better now. [Laughs]
Pattinson: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, it made money now. "Where's Efron?" [Laughs]
Hardwicke: Now we can attract somebody good. [Laughs]
27:50 Edward walks away from Bella in the greenhouse. Pattinson: "I have so many inexplicable facial expressions in this movie."
28:35 Edward follows Bella to the bus after the greenhouse visit.
Pattinson: See, that's when I had pecs.
Hardwicke: Yeah, baby.
Pattinson: I had pecs about two days.
Hardwicke: Yeah, you're lookin' good here.
Pattinson: I bet you that everyone would hate me. I mean, I just look at me walking around with, like, my little peacoat on, little customized peacoat....
Hardwicke: Well nobody talks to you. Nobody hangs out with you.
Pattinson: It's true. That's why. It's like he's always looking in the mirror all the time. [Then, it sounds like he says something about Edward's highlights.]
29:50 Cullens in the cafeteria. "In this scene, I'm talking about how much I don't like cookies.... I'm sayin', 'Listen, guys. Have you read the book? We're not supposed to be eating.'"
30:34 Pattinson admits that he tells people the shot of him kicking up the apple is real. "Well basically, you gotta get the right angle. You gotta get it right on the instep." (They used a string, and it took him many, many takes.) Hardwicke says she used to ask if he was practicing his Hacky Sack because she wanted it to be more elaborate -- e.g. bounce it off of two knees and an ankle and then catch it. "People would be in hysterics if they saw that," he says. "It's like, wow, he's a superhuman moron.... So he wears lipstick, has a little bouffant, and does little circus acts as well. Oh, he's so se[xy]." I think he was going to say sexy, but Stewart interrupted him to compliment the accent he used to say bouffant.
36:14 Bella Googles "Quileute Legends." Hardwicke points out that one of the book results isLegends of the Slappy Beaver.
Pattinson: Kristen, was what your motivation behind going to the Thunderbird & Whale bookstore out of all the others?
Stewart: Um. [Laughter]
Hardwicke: Can you say kill? That was the one that was in Port Angeles, dude. The other ones are, like, too far away.
37:17 The girls plan their trip to Port Angeles to look for prom dresses, while sunning themselves. "Girls, you know it's all just a game to them, relationships," Pattinson says. "Just go around stomping on everyone.... I mean, look at this poor guy in the background with his collar up. You know he's just gonna get ruined by women."
38:39 A shot looking up at Bella outside the bookstore. "See, is that supposed to be me looking at her there?" he asks. Hardwicke's answer: "It's supposed to be, uh, maybe it would be you. What do you think?... Oh no, I don't think it is. I think it's just supposed to throw you off. Make you scared." I would have expected the know the answer to that question. Just sayin'.
39:35: Edwards pulls up to save Bella from the bad humans (pictured).
Pattinson: [In prissy voice] "Now listen, guuuyyysss!"
Stewart: See, I knew you were gonna start saying something about this, but I think you look very scary.
Pattinson: "Come on guys. Let's all, come on, let's be simple about this."
Hardwicke: I like the way the car roars in. Obviously, that wasn't your driving, or those people would all be dead."
