Robert Pattinson: Kristen Stewart Was 'Excited' To Transform Into A Vampire

Robert Pattinson is currently promoting the new "Twilight" film in Australia, and he reportedly told journalists that his off-again/on-again girlfriend Kristen Stewart was "really excited" to play a vampire on the big screen. In the film, and the books by Stefanie Meyer, Bell (Stewart) yearns to be changed into a vampire so she can spend the rest of her days with lover Edward (Pattinson). It finally happens in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2."

Pattinson revealed to MTV Australia, "She was really excited about being a vampire. Everybody else who'd been pretty consistently in the movies, they'd obviously been playing a vampire like every day for ages. And so it's funny seeing someone suddenly come into it and try and figure out their own version of the physicality and the mentality of it."

He added, "But her character has a different thing, because she's supposed to find it really easy. It's supposed to be a natural progression for her to become a vampire, it's supposed to be simple. So I guess it was kind of different." 

The actor has had several moments that stick out in his mind from the making the movies over the past several years. "There's been a few. I mean, going to Brazil on this one was pretty fun, it was pretty crazy. I crashed a speedboat which was pretty exciting! Yeah tons. Tons from the first movie, it was just so different being the first one. I mean we used to travel to set, the entire cast, in a minibus," he explained. "It was so entirely the opposite of what the last one ended up being - like being in helicopters and stuff."

At the end of the month, the couple will be at the same press junket in Los Angeles, as well as the premiere on November 12 in LA. A European tour in England, Spain, and Germany will also feature the two together. The film hits theaters Nov. 16

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart caught at Cannes 65th film festival

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have been dating for nearly four years, if reports are to be believed. They are notoriously coy about their romance and have not yet confirmed they are even dating. However, a romantic evening on a balcony in Cannes this week involving a romantic smooch seems to finally prove they are very much an item.

They are clearly smitten with each other and being co-stars on all four of the Twilight films, as well as working on the fifth, it's clear they can work together as well as play together which is often a big hurdle. They share a camera-shy attitude, hiding under baseball caps or hoodies whenever cameras are about and neither are regulars on the party scene. If either one of them has a premiere to attend, the other will generally always attend for support as well - even if they do enter via the back door. For a couple as huge as they are, they've done well to avoid the attention that surrounds them daily.

Kristen Stewart Ready for Battle in First Snow White Images

Kristen Stewart took the stage for the second time at Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon as part of Universal's panel for Snow White and the Huntsman. Though the film's intriguing cast which also includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor One glance as Stewart donning armor and a shield in the role of Snow White fortifies Universal's description of the project as being darker, edgier and more adult than the competing The Brothers Grimm: Snow White film currently in production at Relativity or the classic Disney take. Stills of Hemsworth as The Huntsman and Theron as the Evil Queen show each character gripping a weapon as well.

Snow White and the Huntsman will also stray from Disney's Snow White by utilizing eight dwarves instead of seven. Those dwarves will be played by Nick Frost (Paul), Ian McShane (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Ray Winstone, Toby Jones and others.

Universal will release Snow White and the Huntsman on June 1, 2012, approximately three months after Relativity's The Brothers Grimm: Snow Whitestarring Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and Sean Bean arrives in theaters on March 16, 2012.
