Robert Pattinson Knocks on Johnny Depp's Door

on Oct. 16, 2008 01:29 PM / 30 Comments

Just how far can good buzz take you? All the way to Johnny Depp's front door, apparently.

Twilight star, and unstoppable brooding machine, Robert Pattinson attended the premiere of Sex Drive in Los Angeles Wednesday night, taunting mere mortals with his wild hair and wilder eyes.

Pattinson has become such a phenomenon for the yet-to-be-released flick that he's already the second-most searched star on industry and fan community IMDB (Internet Movie Database), coming in just behind Depp.

The film, based on a popular series of novels, is in such high demand that 15-minute sneak previews are selling out in seconds.

Not to mention Entertainment Weekly's decision to slap Pattinson's puss on the cover of their Holiday Movie Guide.

And the next step in Pattinson's world domination? The gay role for serious thesp cred. Well played, Rob. Well played.

    He's amazing. The thing is a lot of entertainment sites dont realise yet what a wonderful actor he is. The dont see beyond his looks and Harry Potter and Twilight but he's a wonderful actor. A friend of mine was lucky enough to see the festival world premiere of Rob's next film Little Ashes (he plays Salvador Dali) and she was bowled over by him. The whole film infact and all the actors are amazing but she was so surprised at how brilliant Rob was. it such a hard role to play and he performs it perfectly.

    He is going to have an amazing career. Ther eisnt a weak area. He's as good at comedy as he is drama.

    I've just joined to say I saw Little Ashes in London at Raindance and it was a huge pleasure and thrill to do so. Its a beautiful film. Stunningly photographed with amazing music. I couldnt fault it. I wanted to go straight back in and see it again The all important script was beautifully crafted and the costumes were outstanding and considering the budget a huge achievement. The 5 main leads were simply brilliant, and while Javier Betran has the larger role as Lorca and is wonderful I only had eyes for Rob. Its such a difficult and complex role but he handles it brilliantly. Rob has a warmth to him that makes you relate to even the most unsympathetic of characters. I know this is a gossip site not a film site so I wont do a proper review but I just need to shout out that this guy is going to be a great actor. He's building up his CV and taking on a variety of roles and it will pay off. He's a brave and versatile actor and only 22. I've admired him ever since I saw him in the Haunted Airman and its enjoyable following his career. Yes he's a beautiful man but he's an actor with tremendous screen presence and as long as he knuckles down will have an outstanding career.

    He looked incredibly handsome at the premiere. I love how he doesnt care and doesnt dress up at all. He's just so normal in a very abnormal industry. Besides Little Ashes there's another new film called How To Be which has started doing the festivals. Rob's at the Austin film festival with the director in a few days for a screening and Q&A. He was just awarded Best Actor at the Strasbourg film festival for the role of Art in How To Be. Thats so different toTwilight.Go find the traielr and you'll see what I mean.

    I was expecting more photos. The fansites have at least 70 incredible looking ones.

    I'd love to see Rob work with Depp. He's be great in Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Although I'd rather him continue doing high art films like Little Ashes really. Still if Pirates is good enough for Depp its good enough for Rob.

    Rob was at the Kings of Leon concert the same night as the premiere. Must have skipped off straight awy. There's a photo of him there with hix new supermodel girlfriend Annelyse Schoenberger. How did you miss that Celebuzz.

    He's going to take over Hollywood! The buzz is well deserved.

    Yes, I'm sure he would very much like to "knock on Johnny Depp's door."
