Fresh from this year’s Twin Peaks Festival.

On the Road movie reedited for Toronto screening Based on Jack Kerouac's '50s novel, Walter Salles' Otr adaptation starring Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, and Kristen Stewart (above photo) will be screened at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival. We all knew that. What we didn't know is that Tiff 2012 will unveil a new cut of the film (via indieWIRE), which premiered last spring at the Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews. The 2hr20m drama has been downsized to approximately 125 minutes. That's an interesting development, as Otr has already been screened in several countries, with varying degrees of box-office success. [Check out the On the Road trailer. Check out Kristen Stewart On the Road poster; Garrett Hedlund On the Road poster.] Otr movie reedit hardly unique On the other hand, different cuts shown in different countries is hardly something new. Whether as a result of poor critical/box-office reception, (perceived) local sensibilities, and/or censorship, the movie you watch in, say, Canada isn't necessarily the exact same movie watched by someone in Singapore,...

In 2010, Pattinson was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in The World, and also in the same year Forbes ranked him as one of the most powerful celebrities in the world in the Celebrity 100.

As a shorts fanatic I get very excited about anthology films. These projects, like “Paris, Je T’aime” and “Four Rooms,” are great opportunities for multiple directors to work on the same theme and then bring it all together in a single collection. They don’t happen terribly often these days, probably because they’re hard to market well for the box office, but they’re often successful and always interesting. 2010’s “Love and Distrust,” while not a showpiece of famous directors, stars some pretty famous talent, including Robert Pattinson in the understated drama “The Summer House.” Set against the moon landing in 1969,…...

While Steve was busy snapping photos at the American Film Market (Afm), he grabbed a shot of a surprising poster for Love & Distrust. The film boasted a star-studded cast featuring Robert Pattinson, Robert Downey Jr., Sam Worthington, Amy Adams, and James Franco. Somehow, we had never reported on or even heard of this movie. Of course, there was the standard note in the corner about “Credits Not Contractual”. They may not be contractual, but they can certainly be misleading. Hit the jump to check out the poster, and to learn why you’ve probably never heard of this movie and why buyers should beware.

After doing a bit of research, I discovered that Love & Distrust is already available to own on DVD in UK. Here’s the official synopsis:

Featuring a host of Hollywood A-listers, including Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga, Remember Me), Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man,...

R-Patz’s former co-star, Talulah Riley, admits the hunky Twilight star is pretty adept at cozying up to his co-stars. Should K-Stew be jealous?

Robert Pattinson is a man of many talents…and according to his The Summer House co-star, Talulah Riley, the 24-year-old Twilight actor has also mastered the art of cuddling.

“He’s a very good neck nuzzler,” the British actress said in an interview with Monsters and Critics while promoting The Summer House, the short film she appeared in with Rob in 2008. “I worked with Rob before Twilight. I’m very happy for his success. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. He’s a lovely actor and a lovely friend.”

We’d expect nothing less than incredible neck nuzzling from Rob. After all, isn’t that supposed to be a vampire’s specialty?

Robert Pattinson’s 2008 short film, “The Summer House” dominated iTunes immediately following its recent release, topping movie sales charts in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and Germany after a mere four hours. The July 13th iTunes release marked the first occasion on which the film had been distributed for mass consumption, having only been run on the festival circuit during the prior year.

The film is an adaptation of a coming-of-age story in which a teenage girl (Jane) summering at an aunt’s chateau in rural France discovers the complexity of romantic relationships—both those of certain family members, as well as her own. Rob plays the role of 18-year-old Richard, the love interest of Jane. Having broken up with her to date another woman prior to her departure for the summer, once dumped by the other, he appears unexpectedly at Jane’s retreat to win her back.

It's not the most original of seasons,...

Bella isn't the only girl Edward gets to stalk these days. If that aspect of The Twilight Saga drives you batty, just wait for this new romance. Robert Pattinson is in a 2008 short film called The Summer House with Talulah Riley (St. Trinian's), which has just gone up for sale over at iTunes.

Riley plays a young girl visiting her aunt in rural France in 1969, the year of the lunar landings.

"She is impossibly tempted, but repelled by his crude attempt to force her."

One of Robert Pattinson's earlier works, a short film entitled The Summer House, is available on iTunes today for $1.99.

According to MTV, "First-time director Daisy Gili said she actually cast Rob because she was recommended him by Campbell Mitchell, who had worked on props for another of his early projects, The Haunted Airman. 'He said, this guy is amazing, and he's really nice, and I think he'd be really up for working on a short film,' Gili told MTV News. 'I saw a picture of him and I thought, he's fantastic.'"

Many more details about the film are available at MTV's Hollywood Crush.

When it comes to the pre-twilight career of one Robert Pattinson, it’s difficult to picture anything beyond his work as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. But before he sparkled and was alternately dead and undead (and before he won the hearts of millions with his two iconic roles), Pattinson had amassed a small, interesting body of work – including the short film The Summer House. Filmed back in 2008, the short stars Pattinson and Talulah Riley (Pirate Radio) as a pair of star-crossed lovers in the swinging sixties.

HollywoodNews.com: In a few weeks time, The Worldwide Short Film Festival will be screening “The Summer House”, a short film in which Robert Pattinson plays. The short film is an adaptation of a coming-of-age story in which a teenage girl (Jane) summering at an aunt’s chateau in rural France discovers the complexity of romantic relationships—both those of certain family members, as well as her own.

The film was shot in 2008, just prior to the release of “Twilight”, the final buffer between Rob and international mega-stardom. In “The Summer House”, Rob plays the role of 18-year-old Richard, the love interest of Jane. Having broken up with her to date another woman prior to her departure for the summer, once dumped by the other, he appears unexpectedly at Jane’s retreat to win her back. Through a series of benign advances (e.g., love letters) and other more forceful attempts,...

In the film, fans get exclusive never before heard tidbits from Pattinson's life, documented by his fellow colleagues, teachers, neighbors, and journalists.

Bright flashes greeted him at every turn. His face was the centerpiece of every magazine, and his name was a-tip every tongue in the free world. In 1997, Leonardo DiCaprio made his big break with Titanic, and the world would not forget his name. At twenty-three years old, DiCaprio had already earned one Academy Award nomination for his work with Johnny Depp and Juliette Lewis in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and had stunned his fair share of audiences with his brilliant portrayal of Jim Carroll in The Basketball Diaries. Some were hard-pressed to forget his name after his newcomer addition to the cast of Growing Pains back in 1991. His work in Romeo + Juliet would capture the hearts of many, and his work with Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Russell Crowe in The Quick And The Dead allowed DiCaprio to pass muster with film aficionados the world over. Yet, nothing could...

In a strange twist of fate, Robert Pattinson has announced he will retire from acting following the fulfillment of his contract with Summit Entertainment and the completion of the Twilight Saga which will see the release of New Moon this November and Eclipse next June. When asked if he planned on returning for an adaptation of the fourth story in the famed Stephenie Meyer series, "Breaking Dawn," the actor said, "It will depend on the quality of the next two films and the demand of the Twilight fans." The first Twilight film, released in November 2008, put Pattinson on the map as the film garnered over $190 million domestically and over $375 worldwide. Although Pattinson had already starred as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire it was Twilight and the conviction of its fanbase that propelled him to instant stardom. Pattinson also starred in a trio of smaller, independent...
