Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of brooding, tormented vampire Edward Cullen in the blockbuster “Twilight” film series has made him one of Hollywood’s hottest new stars. Now, watch as he reveals another, surprising side in HOW TO BE, a side-splitting comedy coming to DVD from IFC Films and MPI Media Group. A must-see for all Pattinson fans, the DVD hits stores on November 17, 2009. The disc includes an exclusive interview with Pattinson, never-before-seen footage and many other extras.
In HOW TO BE, the young British sensation Pattinson stars as Art, an aspiring musician stuck in a rut. Twenty-something Art is a supermarket worker who has just been dumped by his girlfriend and is forced to move back home to live with his emotionally distant parents. Art is hopeless and depressed until he discovers the best-selling self-help book It’s Not Your Fault and spends his inheritance money to hire the book’s oddball author, Dr. Levi Ellington, as his live-in life coach to get him through his “quarter-life crisis” and help him be “more normal.”
Pattinson reaches new heights as an actor as he impressively embodies both Art’s self-pitying side and his droll, hilarious wit. The actor also performs on the film’s pop-rock soundtrack — a collection of original songs and classics by artists including The Roches, Captain Beefheart and Love.
His performance in HOW TO BE earned the young star Best Actor accolades at the Strasbourg International Film Festival, while debuting director Oliver Irving received the Audience Award at the New Orleans Film Festival. Amanda Bell of Examiner.com called the film “completely entrancing and beautiful,” adding,
“Robert Pattinson’s character becomes someone you just want to reach out and hug.”
HOW TO BE’s sterling cast also includes Rebecca Pidgeon (The Spanish Prisoner, TV’s The Unit) and Michael Irving (Ruth Rendell Mysteries) as Art’s parents, Powell Jones (Anna Karenina), Alisa Arnah (Wallander, Jane Eyre) and newcomers Mike Pearce and Johnny White as Art’s best friends.
The DVD is packed with bonus material: a 20-minute making-of featurette including extended scenes; behind-the-scenes footage and an interview with Robert Pattinson.

Rob Pattinson’s and Kristen Stewart’s rooms sit side by side on the thirtysomethingth floor of the Sheraton hotel in Vancouver (”the Couve,” as Kristen calls it), where they are filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight saga. They spend a lot of time in their rooms in the sky — two Rapunzels of sorts entertaining themselves behind closed doors — because it’s really, really hard to go out. “There are like 15 different exits in this place,” observes Kristen of the tactics she and the rest of the Twilight cast use to avoid the paparazzi. She adds, “Rob is more frustrated with it, but he’s 23 and I’m 19. He had a couple more years to be an adult and to be independent, whereas just as I was getting to the age when it’s normal to go out by yourself …” She pauses. “But it’s boring because this is all I fucking talk about.”

Attention Robert Pattinson fanatics: The world’s most famous tortured bloodsucker can’t stand Halloween. Or at least that’s the humorous way Late Show host Jimmy Fallon portrays a moody version of the Twilight star in the latest installment in his series Robert Is Bothered.
“Halloween bothers me,” sulks Fallon-as-Pattinson. “Costumes are stupid. Are you a werewolf? No you’re not, you’re a person. You can’t fool me. Jackass! No candy!”
“Pumpkins are dumb fat squashes,” Fallon jokes in a fake British accent. “Candy corns are stupid. Are you a candy or are you corn?”
The skit follows previous Robert Is Bothered spoofs on Snickers ads and Shark Week.
Perhaps Pattinson should dress up as a certain late-night talk show host for Halloween?
