Thierry Frémaux (Director of the Cannes Film Festival) talks about Rob in M Magazine


It's an article about the young stars of today. There are a few mistakes, like the Tom Sturridge picture that they used (we know that it isn't Tom) and some in the wrire-up, but nothing important. The quotes from Thierry Frémaux about Rob and Kristen are legit really good.
They ask Thierry if they "have the first draft of the new generation of young actors" and he  replies "it's hard to say, the competition is tough. You have to make the right choices & meet the right people. Pattinson & Stewart had the chance of rising from Twilight unlike other young actors that are as talented as they are. There are in Hollywood, young actors waiting in the shadow. The market is ruthless. But as for Pattinson& Stewart, they're showing a remarkable maturity when it comes to their careers. And they're wonderful in both movies."

The article talks about Leo Dicaprio: He managed to (almost) make people forget about Jack from Titanic. going from teenager's walls to movie-goers shelves. Will the Twilight actors be able to finance movies that are both challenging and expensive due to their names? "It's going on to depend on the success of their first steps in the 'grown up' cinema and on the power they will exerce on the screenwriter producers." continues Thierry Frémaux. "Cannes 2012 is going to show that there is a movement to go back to the "big" American Auteur cinema. They can take advantage of it, or not. All of this is so fragile.

I think Kristen is doing a fantastic job going from mainstream to indie, I remember an interview that she was joking w/Rob about him being a bit critical of mainstream movies against indie flicks. Kristen wants to do both. I know Rob knows how to succeed in the business, so I have faith he was just joking with Kristen as he often does and I think the decisions they both make will benefit their future in the industry.
