While she may not have been familiar with all of her co-stars’ work before signing on for the film (she watched New Moon with her dad after filming wrapped on Remember Me), she quickly got to know her hunky onscreen brother and gave him two thumbs up.

“Rob’s great! He’s really just a normal guy…it was really fun for him to be my older brother. I’ve always wanted to have an older brother. He’s very goofy! He’s fun to hang out with,” Jerins said adding with a laugh, “He’s unpretentious.”

The film- which has a surprise twist- immediately caught Jerins’ attention. “I’d only read a few pages [of the script] and I fell in love with it. I finished it in one night. It was intense but it moved me and I loved it so much.”

In the film, Jerins plays the precocious dreamer (and budding artist) Caroline Hawkins. Adding a layer of complication, the sweet Caroline- who also serves as Pattinson’s character Tyler Hawkins’ confidante- has to deal

with a distracted, workaholic father (Brosnan), a broken family ripped by tragedy, as well as a gaggle of mean classmates. One jarring scene in which Caroline finds herself the victim of a cruel prank at a sleepover tested Jerins’ abilities and inevitably highlighted her maturity as an actress.

“I didn’t actually have lines [for the scene]. Allen [Coulter, director] just let me go with it,” she explained. There’s a lot we don’t have in common but I found it easy to connect with her…to get me into the scene I just felt for Caroline and her worries.”

Overall, the experience was one massive highlight for the young actress. “It was so fun and everybody was nice to me.”

One particular moment that sticks out in her mind was one in which the smooth Brosnan improvised due to a sudden interruption.

“During shooting one of the scenes towards the end, all of a sudden from out of nowhere the phone rang and without breaking character Pierce just walked up and answered it!” she giggled.

Remember Me hits theaters on March 12.

Remember Me – InterviewRobert Pattinson talks about trading in his vampire ways to try his hand at normal human love

Allen Coulter admits he’s not exactly a young man anymore– he’s a Hollywood veteran with TV directing credits stretching back to the 80s, and the 2006 drama Hollywoodland to his name. But when he got the script called Memoirs, about a young man’s intense first romance with a working-class girl in New York CIty, Coulter saw the opportunity to tell the kind of love story you don’t see anymore, one that really captures the nature of all-consuming first love.

The result is now titled Remember Me, starring Robert Pattinson as the angsty young man and Emilie de Ravin as the girl he starts dating, at first, to get revenge on a cop who arrested him. I talked to Coulter recently about his inspiration for taking on the film, what he saw in Robert Pattinson well before Twilight mania, and the one time he snapped at the paparazzi while filming on the streets of New York. Check out everything he had to say below. Remember Me opens this Friday.

You helped Will develop the script. What was it like when you first saw it?
It was a little different, but not a lot. It changed in a lot of subtle ways, and became more subtle. I was really intrigued by the idea of making a movie about young love, particularly in New York. I haven’t seen a lot of good movies over the years that I think are truthful about what it’s like to fall in love at that age.

Was there anything in particular that you wanted to add to it?
Yes. Accuracy about New York City, because he’s not from New York. The other was just deepening the characters, and making them more subtle. And [Rachel Getting Married screenwriter] Jenny Lumet came in. She added another layer of complexity to the characters, to make it feel even more rich and complicated and layered and unresolved, all those things that movies aren’t supposed to do.

It’s definitely a young man’s story, and you at least don’t appear to be 22. What appealed to you about revisiting that time?
Just that– revisiting that time. You have to go back to something like Splendor in the Grass [to find that] very accurate depiction of a certain kind of intensity at that age, and I wanted to do that. I remember that very intensely. Everything at that age, no one’s been in love like you have. No one has felt what you are feeling. You are at the center of the world.

Robert Pattinson’s instantaneous and often overwhelming star power is fantastic for the moment. But what happens when “The Twilight Saga” comes to a close and his herds of adoring fans find another up and comer to fawn over? If Pattinson has anything to do with it, he’ll have moved on from simply being a Hollywood heartthrob and have established himself as a reputable actor. Not only does Remember Me provide him with the opportunity to be remembered long after his claim to fame has come and gone, but it allows him to deliver a similarly important concept to moviegoers: the value of moving on but never forgetting.

Pattinson stars as Tyler, an NYU student struggling with a vast amount of demons he’s not quite sure really exist. It’s fortunate that Pattinson can’t relate to his character in two respects: he didn’t have a troubled youth and that disconnect made the role much more intriguing to tackle. During a roundtable interview he explained, “All the people who I’ve met who are troubled teenagers, you meet their family and their family is like, ‘I don’t know what to do. He’s just – I have no idea what his problem is.’” Tyler definitely has problems to work out, but a recent family tragedy further exacerbates the situation causing him to get unnecessarily heated and even violent.

Tyler finds solace in Ally (Emilie de Ravin), a peer with her own troubled past. A habit of indulging in dessert before eating the main course reflects the importance Ally places on living in the moment. De Ravin said, “I think a lot of her personality traits stem from losing her mother at a young age. Even the little things like the whole dessert thing, it’s just basically saying that why wait for things in life? Take hold of the day and enjoy it and respect it and appreciate it and appreciate the people around you and don’t be fearful of living.” Using her passion for life, Ally eases Tyler’s troubles and nestles into his heart. It took much more than rehearsal time to be able to convey the zeal behind that relationship on screen. “We spent a lot of time together just getting to know each other as people.” De Ravin added, “That’s why when we were actually shooting, everything just sort of fell into place and felt very natural and not contrived in any way.”

NEW YORK – As one of the high-profile stars in the popular TV series Lost, Emilie de Ravin has endured more than her share of silly questions from inquiring minds.

Usually, she tries to be friendly and forthcoming, but the Australian actress makes an exception during a recent promotional interview for the movie Remember Me, which opens March 12.

In the romantic drama, de Ravin plays Ally, a New York cop’s daughter who ends up falling for Tyler, a rebellious college student played by Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson. The characters develop a relationship – to the chagrin of Ally’s protective father.

That’s great, but what was it like kissing Robert Pattinson, she’s asked?

“Come on,” says de Ravin as she rolls her eyes to dismiss the teen-mag type of query.

She had more to say about her Remember Me portrayal and working alongside Pattinson. For instance, she will admit that her decision to do the Pattinson vehicle had nothing to do with the actor’s involvement.

“His name might have been on the cover of the screenplay, but I didn’t associate him with the movie,” de Ravin admits.

However, she learned to appreciate his talents and his drive to be an actor, not a teen sensation. “He’s a very sort of normal, grounded, down-to-earth individual, and he’s not one of these people who’s doing this for the fame,” she says.

Neither is de Ravin. Besides, she never expected to get the part. Her Remember Me character went through a series of re-writes. Finally, the producers decided to go with de Ravin a month before shooting started last year.

That meant de Ravin, on hiatus from Lost, had to take a crash course on changing her dialect from Aussie to the Queen’s style of New York speak. Luckily, she felt comfortable with the general Ally persona.

“Ally’s full of life and she has an attitude,” de Ravin says. “But Tyler (Pattinson) is the first person she’s opened up to, and she’s more in touch with appreciating life.”

That’s the key theme to Remember Me, despite the love affair, the family tragedies and the emotional turmoil of loss.

“I think there’s a big message in the film: not being fearful of life,” de Ravin says. “I thought about this after reading the script for the first time, and I think it remains the main part of the film.

“The movie says, ‘Life is so hectic, and it’s so go-go-go, that it is important to take a second and think, ‘OK, I’m here today,’ and just appreciate the day for what it is.”
