Sabrina Frank was cast as Vera in ‘Eclipse’, Rosalie’s friend in her back story. Her part was eventually cut from the film. In an interview with Glamour (Germany) she talked about Rob.

Glamour: Did you notice the Hype around that Robert Pattinson & CO.?
Sabrina: Yes, and how. It really is unbelievable that the fans will find all these locations. On my first day of shooting, we are driven into the middle of the woods, I would have never found this way – and when we got there, there were already dozens of fans waiting. I was completely shocked, but my driver said, the fans usually know already, which is rotated before it even know the driver. While it is all off and they do not come anywhere near the set, but for the fans is the greatest, when a car drove past in which they might sit Robert Pattinson!

Glamour: Did you meet Robert personally?
Sabrina: Yes, I sat with two times with him in the mask. That was altogether a very calm and really pleasant situation. I also met Kristen. I respect Robert and Kristen and the job they do and am very grateful that I got to know them.

Glamour: Did you feel Robert & Kristen were arrogant?
Sabrina: It is surprising that the actors who had more minor roles in “Eclipse”, I met with a much greater arrogance, as Robert and Kristen. Some people did not even shake my hand or looked at me in the eyes. That was all very superficial. Kristen and Robert on the other hand looked at me very interested, shook my hand and listened as I spoke. I found them very enjoyable and authentic, very different than you expected.

Glamour: At that time, so the rumor bubbled to an affair of the two, you see something like this?
Sabrina: No. I only saw them together once and I think they are way too professional to kiss and cuddle on set

Glamour: You were four days immersed in “Eclipse”, what were your highlights?
Sabrina: Meeting Robert and Kristen. And to see how human the two really are. I would love to do them any good because I feel so sorry. You need to hide all the time, because at the fences hang the teens. They don’t have a single minute for themselves. That one still remains is so normal in my eyes an insane performance. Also, I was taken seriously as an actress, I was allowed to speak in the trailer by director David Slade, like any other actor too – and with him about my role. It was great.

Cody Wood, one of the Water For Elephants extras, decided to share his experience on the set of the movie and talked a bit about Rob playing Jacob.

Francis Lawrence, the director, sat under a black awning against the circus bleachers. His face was calm with a slight smile of satisfaction as he watched the footage. He exchanged words with the AD (Assistant Director). Almost immediately I heard the cue: “Pictures up!” A pause. “And BACKGROUND!” On background we all began the exhilarating sprint from danger once more. A plume of dust rose from our pounding feet and swirled around the swinging lamps. Wind pushed the top of the tent up and down like waves. As the motion of canvas, lamps, and people rushed about, the enormous elephant stood calmly in the center of the ring. “And CUT! Thank you folks! Good job.”

On my walk back across the circus floor I noticed a new excitement. There was no audible noise but something seemed different. When I came around the last large tent pole Pattinson had appeared at the end of the menagerie. I heard the start of the AD’s instructions. “Rob, we’re going to have you….” The young actor looked controlled and confident even while hundreds of Rubes tried to secretly glance in his direction. Most of the cast had arrived at their original mark but I was still walking. Fortuitously I was placed near the entrance to the tent just a few feet from where Rob was now standing.

While the cinematographer gathered lighting calculations I was instructed to wait for Rob to hit his second mark and run past him going out the menagerie. Again, the speed at which the cues came was surprising. The AD instructed, “Pictures Up, and Background”. On “background” the crowd began the stampede away from the menagerie. A third cue came for Rob and on “action” he became Jacob Jankowski. He took a slow step toward the running crowd and looked on with awe. He took another step and scanned the crowd left to right. From behind the camera I sprinted as fast as I could just past Jacob. The crowd was still screaming and running in the other direction. I hopped to my right to avoid a tent pole and stopped dead. My breath was gone and my eyes were frozen. A few feet in front of me stood an enormous buffalo. Dark thick fur covered the entire animal except for the large blood-shot eyes that looked directly at me. I methodically moved each foot backward while the stampede continued on in the tent. Finally the word “Cut” came bellowing out from the tent and gladly moved back to safety.

Rob was smiling at the director. He was obviously tickled by the intensity and size of the stampede. The entire experience was authentic. There were peanuts scattered on the ground and popcorn boxes tipped in the bleachers. Along the menagerie a host of animals did their part to make the scene possible and center ring the massive elephant stood like royalty. There was so much to take in that the twelve hour day passed like minutes.

After a long drive home I dropped onto the couch. My feet were sore and I could still taste a little dust but I couldn’t stop thinking about what the next day would have in store…

DUBLIN actress Sonya Macari will feature alongside Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson in her new movie.

The actress has just finished shooting Hollywood blockbuster Water For Elephants alongside the British star — and claims R-Patz was a pleasure to work with. (Kate: Well of course he was!)

Irish-Italian beauty Sonya, who is a sister of Celebrity Salon’s Virginia Macari, will play the part of Rube in the Francis Lawrence-directed thriller, which tells the story of Robert’s character, Jacob Jankowski’s struggle to survive life as part of a circus after he is suddenly left orphaned.

“He seems really nice and down to earth,” she told the Herald. “I only saw him on set a couple of times but he appeared to have plenty of time for everyone and wasn’t affected by any of the fuss.”

The Official Illustrated Guide reveals the inside story of Eclipse

The appetite of the public asks for more, and the history of Twilight always serves the most, “emphasized Eclipse coproducer Bill Bannerman, giving testimony to the compillation of nearly 150 pages formatted by the author Mark Cotta Vaz, under the title The Twilight Saga : Eclipse – Official Illustrated Movie Guide. Candidate to head the list of bestsellers from The New York Times in the wake of the Twilight and New moon guides. The mix of book and magazine subsidizes, with technical information and many images, both professionals from the film industry as the fans too daring, which form the group of Twilighters, a legion multiplied not only in blogs but ubiquitous even in places used in set of the adaptations of tetralogy signed by Stephenie Meyer. To get an idea, the team claims to have seen declared fans of Vancouver (Canada) before appearing in the film made in Italy.

Author of the publication that examines the background of the famous company Industrial Light & Magic (which served as the classic Star Wars), Mark Cotta Vaz, the new book goes into details as to explain the magic to be multiplied to 8 million by the number of digital for each of the lobes seen on screen. Very specific, the narrative brings records as the use of three wigs for the composition of Bella (Kristen Stewart), the presence of 700 people involved in the tempo of the film and the creation of a tree (aluminum) at 12 meters tall and made linied with foam for the crucial scene in the cold mountainous region in the end.

“I am a danger to myself”

“Eclipse” star Robert Pattinson speaks, in this interview, about sex appeal, a move to Tokyo, and his masochistic core.

There are certainly no interview questions which Robert Pattinson hasn’t already heard. Despite that, millions of teens in the world desperately want to repeat every world that the “Twilight” vampire gives them. Reason enough for fem.com, once more, to intercept and grill him during his PR tour for his new film, “Eclipse.”

We asked the 24 year-old about his sex-symbol image, supposed dates with Paris Hilton, and his mama, and found out about things that you still don’t know.

Robert, can you quickly summarize, for all the newcomers, what happened in the first and second parts of the Twilight Saga?

“The Plot of the first part revolves around how great it feels when you are really in love for the first time. The sequel, ‘New Moon’, in contrast, shows the negative aspects of love: the fear and doubt which emerge when you’re in a committed relationship.”


“Eclipse” starts this summer and the finale, “Breaking Dawn,” is already underway. Why the rush?

“The production has one huge problem: we actors will all be older. Because of that we don’t have a lot of time and have to really hurry.”

Speaking of older: do you know then, little tricks to keep young?

“No, the opposite, I live extremely unhealthily and do—if I’m honest—only very little to stave off the aging process.”

All the same, people consider you a sex symbol and dream-man: What is sexy in your eyes?

“Little to nothing, if I really think about it. At school, for a long time, I was a real geek. Today I’d say I’m in danger of becoming masochistic. (laughs)”

Millions of girls and boys look to you. Do you see yourself as a role model?

“Not really. I mostly want to be nice to my fellow man to treat everyone in the same manner. Many actors are inclined to raise up and look down on other people. In this career, it’s really, really easy to be a complete asshole.”

You have two older sisters. Do they always bring you back to reality?

“Oh yeah. Already from the time that I was 18 they explained to me: if you hadn’t started styling your hair with gel, then you still would have always been one of these plain, boring people. (Laughs)”

Your mother reportedly believes all the crazy stories which, in your case, are rampant. How do you convince her that you don’t go out drinking every night, and haven’t had an affair with Paris Hilton?

“I’m sorry, what? I have never been on a date with Paris Hilton. Unfortunately, I use my mother frequently during interviews when no other fascinating anecdotes come to mind. Naturally she doesn’t believe a word of any of it.”

What do you think about the fact that the media dissect your private life and your relationships with a variety of female co-stars in order to promote the Twilight films?

“To start, let the magazines and tabloids sell themselves. Whether or not the films gain because of that, I don’t know. I, personally, definitely don’t help it. (Laughs)”

Hand on your heart: In what way has the Twilight Saga changed your life?

“If you find yourself in the eye of a storm, you’re not in a position to judge what goes on around you. Maybe I’ll be able to think it over in two or three years. At the moment I feel the whole thing is like a supernova: We shoot a film one after the other and the phenomenon grows and grows. And presently I stand in front of 20,000 screaming fans and haven’t the faintest idea who they’re calling for. I think it will still be a little while longer until I realize that they mean me.”

How do you evade the hordes of young girls scream at you and even want to be bitten by you?

“This mass hysteria can already sometimes be scary, but personally I have still never had anyone do something to me. Only once, during the shoot for ‘Little Ashes’, I had a stalker, who always waited for me at my apartment.”

Last summer you shot the film “Remember Me” in New York. Could you stay unaffected there?

“Not really. In New York it’s nearly impossible. Although it was only a really little project, thousands of people were standing around the set.”

Is there still one city where you can run around on the streets unrecognized?

“The only place where that happens now is Tokyo. I debated for a short time about moving there. (Laughs)”

Do you have plans in the future to do something against this abnormal state of affairs?

“I can’t really do anything against it, other than to pull myself completely out of the public eye, in order to lead a normal life. But I don’t know if that little anonymity is worth the cost. I mean, that the whole hype is over just as quickly as it came. Then it doesn’t bother me at all.”

In which situations does it seem different, how extraordinary your life appears?

“The only time that it’s really bizarre, is when I want to visit friends and need a bodyguard in order to do it.”

Do your friends like the spectacle?

“No, most of them don’t like the glamour and the whole shebang at all. It doesn’t influence them in any way. It doesn’t affect me either, by the way.”

At what place to you crave to be back the most, when you look back on your old life?

“I had this fantastic, old London apartment in Soho. You could climb onto the roof and it had a wonderful view of the city. Nearly every day I was up there, playing music, writing songs, and tried to include them.”

What do you have planned for next, once the last part, “Breaking Dawn,” is finished?

“It’s not very easy to choose what I want to do after that. Because ‘Twilight’ is that successful and brings in so much money, you feel as though you’re paralyzed. It exists the fear, one could lose if he takes the wrong step. In the event that the next film is a flop, everyone will say: See, he was only a one-hit-wonder. The impression is, therefore, huge.”
