True Blood's James Frain talks about working with Rob in Water For Elephants
True Blood star James Frain has revealed he regrets not getting any "vampire tips" from Robert Pattinson on the set of Water For Elephants.Robert is known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in hit franchise Twilight, and fellow Brit James takes on the role of a vampire in the forthcoming third series of True Blood.
But James said he and Robert did not talk about vampires while on the set of their film, which also stars Reese Witherspoon.
He said: "My scenes were with Robert Pattinson but I'm sorry to say we didn't swap vampire stories. I wish we had.
"People can't believe there's going to be a scene in the movie with a Twilight vampire talking to a True Blood vampire and that we didn't spend our time chatting about that, but I'm afraid not. I wish I'd got vampire tips from him, I wish I'd gone 'Oi, Bob mate, any tips?'."
But James was full of praise for Robert, saying: "He's sweet, quite shy, just a really good guy."
Water For Elephants, which is based on a book about a travelling circus, is due out in April 2011.

Rob is E!Online's Celeb of The Year
This competition was not for the faint of heart. We started off with 99 of the year's biggest celebs and put the task of naming a champion in your hands. In the end, the final matchup was the most agonizing and also one of the closest: Who would walk away with the title? Would it be Robert Pattinson or would it be Kristen Stewart? The votes are in.
So who is your 2010 Celeb of the Year?
Robert Pattinson
The race was close right up to the end, but ultimately Pattinson's 6,430 votes (51.5 percent) won out over Stewart's 6,063 votes (48.5 percent). Could this be considered an upset?
While both actors shared in the success of this summer's third Twilight installment, Eclipse, which brought in more than $300 million at the box office, it seemed Stewart had the more noteworthy year, career-wise. Her two other films, The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys, both earned the actress solid critical and audience acclaim, further establishing her as more than just Bella Swan. Pattinson's other film, Remember Me, on the other hand...Well, critics and audiences had other thoughts on that one.
But the people have spoken and here's to the winner and everyone else who fought for the top spot! (Keep it up, Betty White!) Better luck in 2011.
USA TODAY's Heat Index For 2010 - Rob #7 & Kristen #10
USA Today A review of the Heat Index, which measures media exposure, shows that the leading 2010 newsmakers in celebrity news magazines and on websites remain Hollywood A-listers, except for a few reality TV personalities.
Celebrity Heat Index : Top 10 stars for 2010
7. Robert Pattinson 2,064 He has spent 2010 working hard on film projects and dodging interest in his relationship with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.
10. Kristen Stewart 1,761 The actress has supposedly become engaged, wed and been impregnated by her Twilight co-star and rumored boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Have the tabloids confused facts with fiction?
“Remember Me" in Moviehole's – Clint’s Top 10 Films of 2010
10. Remember Me
I remember getting an Atari for my 10th birthday. That was a big surprise. When I caught the top of those tiny ted joysticks atop of their black spongy controls, I knew my entry into double figure land was going to be one to remember. Wanna know what a bigger surprise was? ”Remember Me”! This truly out Gorfed Gorf and Swallowed Pac Man hole in terms of pleasant surprises – I kid you not. Say what you will about his sparkling work in those vampire pics, Robert Pattinson delivers one of the richest and most weighty performances of any actor this year with his uneasy son and lover at the center of director Allen Coulter’s love letter to 9/11 (yes, there is such a thing). Catch it on DVD – you’ll find it, unjustly, at the ‘bottom’ of the new releases shelf.
New/Old Videos + Pictures of Rob & Kristen from Vancouver (2009)
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart arrive together in a taxi back at the pacific palisades hotel. Kristen's manager is also in the taxi, along with Twilight Eclipse director David Slade. I asked Rob "Can I get one quick picture?" and he replied "yeah sure" and I took one frame, changed camera orientations, and took a second one. He jokingly added "hey, you said just one!" after that and patted me on the back & said goodnight. The hotel is being converted to condos now.
Robert Pattinson leaves the metropole, a bar in the gastown neighborhood of vancouver, BC. he briefly looks at the camera and pops the collar up on his jacket, and runs his hands through his hair.

Movehole names 'Remember Me' as one of the "10 Great Films You Missed in 2010"
Remember Me
I know, I know, ‘but it’s got that guy with more gunk in his hair than Liz Hurley does in her nether regions’ but c’mon! many-a-good-actor have started out in the cinematic mailroom and graduated to an awe-impressive high-rise suite – just look at Robin ‘Mork’ Williams, Josh ‘Goonies’ Brolin, Tom ‘Bosom Buddies’ Hanks or Stephen ‘Evil Ed’ Geoffries! (Ok, bad example) – ain’t Robert Pattinson innocent until the gavel slams down!? This film, a heartrending relationship drama (it’s both about the rapport between a young couple and also one between a young man and his estranged father) that played to the tick of a 9/11 countdown, proved there’s much more to “Twilight” vamp Robert Pattinson than blank stares, sparkles and tree hopping. Quite simply, Pattinson was an eye-opener in this film. Skeptics need see it.
Kristen as Joan Jett makes #4 on MTV's "Favorite Fierce Heroines Of 2010"
4. Kristen Stewart in The RunawaysLet's be real: Not all of Kristen Stewart's roles are, er, strong female leads. (*Cough*Bella Swan is a whiner*cough*.) But her turn as real-life rocker Joan Jett in the musical biopic "The Runaways" was so fierce, all is forgiven.
'Remember Me' in Film.com 'Top Ten Movies of 2010' - "Remember Me was Massively Underrated"
ETA: Added article from LA Times - Overlook at the most underappreciated movies of the year. Remember Me is mentioned
Youth in Revolt was an innovative comedy, but it was released during a time period where people skip the theatrical experience. And if Remember Me had featured Ryan Gosling instead of Robert Pattinson it would have been correctly hailed as great. But people got far too caught up in the ending and Pattinson's celebrity to catch that he was really freaking good in this movie. Definitely worth a watch if you you're a fan of relationship dramas
