It came as a shock recently when Robert Pattinson stated that he wasn't at all sure that he wanted to do the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn"! "I'm really becoming afraid that my other movies are not drawing me away from the fact that I'm still "Eward Cullen, Vampire". I even hear it from fans. "Look there's the vampire, Edward Cullen from the movies!" "Of course I'm glad the movies have brought me in as an actor but look at all the actors that get type-cast because of repeating the same roles over and over again and Eclipse will be the third. I mean, it may be too late, but not if I get a chance to play a really great role in something else." Pattinson went on to say that he felt it was pushing fate. "Look at all the people you see that was in a TV series for a good while or the same type movies, people see Michael Richards for instance and you hear, "Look it's Kramer!" No it isn't Kramer, it's Michael Richards. The same holds true of those guys who are always themselves. For instance, Jim Carrey. He may not be identified with any character he's played but he's always himself, Jim Carrey!" "I'm not against Jim Carrey. Will Ferrell, Will Smith, even Tom Cruise are all great in their roles but it all comes down to playing themselves. Then you look at a Brando, a Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks etc and you see the new character they are, in that one particular movie. That's the type actor I'd like to be although I doubt that I ever will.

A New Moon for Showtime in Twilight Saga Movie Deal
by Nadya Vlassoff

Amid the Twilight Saga craze, Showtime has landed the rights to broadcast the Twilight Saga, With all New Moon corners of the media market capitalizing on the popularity of the Twilight Saga, it was announced that Showtime has signed an exclusive Twilight deal with Summit Entertainment that gives Showtime the rights to air all Twilight films in the Stephenie Meyer based Twilight Saga upon the release of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn to cable television. With cable television currently enjoying a new moon in popularity and far from any twilight of what TV fans can expect, the release of critically acclaimed cable TV movies and series have overshadowed mainstream networks.

The new Twilight Saga - Showtime deal is a bold move for Showtime after executives chose to not continue relationships with Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM. Prior to the new Twilight deal, it appears the new moon direction of Showtime was made after excessive over broadcast fees by studios became too much. Showtime will now have access to 42 Summit Entertainment films, which include the four instalments of the Twilight Saga that star Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and supporting actors Peter Facinelli, Ashley Green, and Nikki Reed.

The Twilight Saga is a lucrative acquisition for Showtime given the popularity of the Stephenie Meyer penned Twilight novels and the first two Twilight Saga films, Twilight and New Moon. Showtime has steadily become a popular cable network in the years prior to Twilight and New Moon, with such shows as Queer as Folk, Weeds, The L Word, and the new hit Nurse Jackie, which includes Twilight Saga cast member, Peter Facinelli.
