Robert Pattinson has just admitted that his favourite character in Twilight is James.
He told mädchen.de: "James. That's the only other character I would have like to have played."
We think Robert is far too good looking to play evil James as Stephenie Meyer describes him as quite unremarkable and average-looking in her book.
Plus Cam Gigandet makes a brilliant James so it would be hard for Rob to beat him.
If Robert could have any superpower he would pick the ability to stop and start time.
He has some reservations though: "I don't really want many superpowers because once you have superpowers people will just say 'Hey can you use your superpowers for this.'
"It's like having money, once you have loads of money everyones like 'Can I borrow some money' it's like I don't want to give you any of my superpowers alright."

Robert Pattinson wishes he was James in Twilight
jueves, 15 de enero de 2009 | Etiquetas: Robert Pattinson, Twilight
Millions of girls might love Edward Cullen like he is a real person but actor Robert Pattinson seems to think it's a bit strange.
The Twilight actor explained to Dose.ca: "If Edward was not a fictional character and you just met him in reality, you know, he's one of those guys who'd be like an axe murderer.
"He's ultra-polite and really formal all the time and like, 'Let me open the door! Let me carry the bags!'"
"Literally, you can just tell he'd freak out one day and shoot someone."
The 22-year-old isn't afraid to speak his mind and allegedly even told the author of Twilight Stephenie Meyer that she was wrong about Edward.
He explains: "(Stephenie) was saying that he was happier than I thought he was and he enjoyed certain aspects of his supernatural abilities, and I just thought he wouldn't at all.
"I was just thinking how much, if I was in his position, I'd just think 'Wow, I can jump really high. Great. But I have to kill people in return.'
"But you know, I can see where she was coming from. It's her creation at the end of the day."

It’s official. Chris Weitz, the director of another book-to-film fantasy adaptation, will take over for Catherine Hardwicke on the set of “Twilight” sequel “New Moon.”
The director of “The Golden Compass” made clear in a press release Saturday that he would treat the next installment in the Stephenie Meyers series with care and reverence, preserving the story’s characters and themes.
“Twilight,” released last month to the delight of fans of the four-book series, has surpassed $150 million in domestic and foreign box-office receipts. “New Moon” will again star Kristen Stewart and is slated for release between late next year and early 2010.

`Twilight' director won't return for sequel
miércoles, 10 de diciembre de 2008 | Etiquetas: Catherine Hardwicke, Twilight
"Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke won't be back for "New Moon," the sequel to the hit teen vampire romance.
Summit Entertainment, which released "Twilight" last month, said the scheduled release of "New Moon" in late 2009 or early 2010 conflicts with Hardwicke's desired planning time. The film, based on the second book in Stephenie Meyer's series, continues to follow the forbidden relationship between vampire Edward Cullen and high schooler Bella Swan.
Stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will reprise their roles for part two.
Hardwicke, whose previous films include "Thirteen" and "Lords of Dogtown," had the highest opening ever for a female director when "Twilight" made nearly $70 million in its first weekend. It's grossed over $138 million in three weeks.
"I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct `New Moon,'" Hardwicke said Sunday in a joint news release with Summit. "Directing `Twilight' has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel — it is a great story."
Erik Feig, Summit's president of production, thanked Hardwicke and said she did "an incredible job in helping us to launch the `Twilight' franchise."
"We as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created," said Feig.
Hardwicke did not return a call left on her home phone Monday, but a man's voice on the outgoing message said in part: "We've been kicked out of the `Twilight' editorial, so we're homeless, so please leave your name and number after the tone."

"Twilight" star Stewart to play rocker Joan Jett
miércoles, 3 de diciembre de 2008 | Etiquetas: Twilight
Fresh from the box-office success of "Twilight," Kristen Stewart is set to portray Joan Jett in "The Runaways," the rock 'n' roll biopic of the 1970s all-girl band.
The Runaways were hugely influential as the first commercially successful all-girl hard rock band; their members included guitarists Jett and Lita Ford, drummer Sandy West, singer-keyboardist Cherie Currie and bassist Jackie Fox. The band was brought together in late 1975 by impresario Kim Fowley, who thought a novelty act of teenage girls performing in leather and lace would be an easy sell. But the girls proved to be serious and influential musicians with songs like "Cherry Bomb." The band lasted about four years, falling apart over management and money issues.
Jett continued her rock career into the '80s, forming the Blackhearts and scoring with such hits as "I Love Rock N' Roll" and "I Hate Myself for Loving You." She continues to record and tour.
The film will revolve around Jett and Currie and follow them from the band's meteoric rise as teenagers to their dissolution and disillusionment.
Video director Floria Sigismondi wrote the screenplay and is directing. Jett will serve as an executive producer.
The filmmakers are eyeing a 2009 start and will work around Stewart's commitments to the two "Twilight" sequels. The first, "New Moon," is expected to shoot in first-quarter 2009, with Stewart reprising her role as Bella, the human who falls for a vampire.
"Twilight" has made more than $120 million since opening November 21.

British actor Rob Pattinson has confirmed there will be a sequel to vampire love story Twilight - and he will star in the epic.
The movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's cult book became an overnight sensation and took £4.6 million from midnight screenings in the U.S. on Thursday (20Nov08) alone.
And producers want to capitalise on the success, by turning Meyer's second book, New Moon, into a follow-up film.
In an email to fans, Pattinson and co-star Kristen Stewart thank fans for backing the movie. They write: "To all of our wonderful, loyal and fantastic fans - Thank you from the entire cast & crew for your amazing support of Twilight.
"You've blown away all of our expectations, and we feel so honored to have made a film that means as much to you as it does to us. Without your passion, interaction and support, this film would not be where it is today - the #1 movie in America!
"From every city, every stop, every interview we have done, you've made this an unbelievable, nearly surreal experience…and so cool that we were all in this together.
"We just heard from Summit that we'll be moving forward on New Moon. We look forward to sharing this next chapter with you! Kristen & Rob."
