I’m not really sure if Twilight fans will consider this good or bad news, but it appears Robert Pattinson has dropped out of the movie “Parts Per Billion” that he was scheduled to do with Rosario Dawson, Olivia Thirlby and Dennis Hopper. The reason… apparently they’re moving forward with Twilight 2 plans a little bit sooner than they thought and he has to be free to prep for it.
The reason some Twilight fans may not like this news is because it was rumored that Pattinson was going to do a bath love scene with Thirbly. Oh well ladies… sorry. The folks over at MTV give us this:
What’s even more interesting is that Pattinson’s rep pointed to “New Moon” preparations as the reason why Rob had to clear his schedule for the first quarter of 2009. Which would seem to put him in an interesting situation, as he’s arguably the hottest young actor in Hollywood, but doesn’t have time to make any non-“Twilight” movies!
It is an interesting predicament Pattinson finds himself in. With a franchise like Twilight you do run the risk of forever just being known as that character and be prevented from expanding your career much further (I’m still curious to see how well Daniel Radcliffe’s career goes after he’s done with Harry Potter). Diversifying your career while you’re hot and not yet set in stone as one character seems like it would have been a good move.
