This weekend’s USA Weekend contains a feature on vampires, as well as an exclusive interview with Rob Pattinson!  You can check out the article here on their website!

“Rebel Without a Cause was a big influence on the first [“Twilight” film] — it influenced the hairdo and stuff,” Pattinson says, laughing. “In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump.”

A James Dean type — that is, Pattinson — always attracts teenage girls in flocks. “It’s like The Birds, with teenage girls,” says “New Moon” director Chris Weitz. “You turn around, and there would be a line of girls standing there.”
