Is Robert Pattinson Here to Stay?

Video Transcript: "Remember Me" may be a small movie - but with Robert Pattinson as its leading man man - the independent film is bound to get big-time attention. The British star causes a scene wherever he goes - especially in the company of his "Twilight " co-star - and rumored girlfriend - Kristen Stewart. SOT: ROBERT PATTINSON: "I've kind of managed to avoid going crazy- I wouldn't have gone crazy no matter what, but I've just been working on this constantly since the first Twilight film came out." TRACK: But Pattinson's more seasoned co-stars know that a 23 year old star can get burned by such high - wattage fame. SOT: CHRIS COOPER: "He's a young man that's dealing with a terrific popularity. I pray that he is able to handle it. TRACK: But while the young heartthrob will certainly draw audiences, the makers of the film hope that they will come away remembering the film's powerful - and still-secret - climax. Janet Choi Bridge: (NY skyline) Pattinson became interested in the story well before his career caught fire. SOT: Pattinson: "When I read it the first time, it was before Twilight had come out and exploded." TRACK: And he's banking that even without sparkling skin and super human powers ... the audience will find his performance in "Remember Me" - unforgettable.
