Rob Drops out of “Parts per Billion”
Submit News | Posted by Geo | Categories: Robert Pattinson

MTV News has exclusively confirmed that Pattinson is dropping out of “Parts per Billion,” the eagerly anticipated indie film he was scheduled to begin shooting in Los Angeles this month. Although co-star/producer Rosario Dawson had expressed enthusiasm about working with the “Twilight” heartthrob as recently as December 16, a representative for Pattinson confirmed that he is no longer involved.

“What you heard is correct,” the 22-year-old star’s agent, Nicholas Frenkel, replied to an MTV News query Tuesday (January 6). “Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on ‘New Moon’ haven’t left enough time for Robert to work on ‘Parts per Billion’ in the first quarter of this year.”

I would have liked to see Robert in this movie, it sounded very good. But I totally understand where Rob is coming from, it would be just impossible to film Parts Per Bilion and New Moon..


by Amelia on January 06 - 9:47 pm PDT

it would have been cool to see him in a movie other than the twilight ones, but better he drop out of ppb than new moon. good to see he has his priorities in order :D


by Lisa on January 06 - 10:04 pm PDT

i kinda wanted to see him in this movie, but i’d rather see him in New Moon!


by Sue on January 06 - 10:24 pm PDT

this is sad news.. :(
like tami I really hope he’s not upset either.. i really bet he was looking forward to it.. (yeah… I know..) I won’t deny that I’m happy that he’s commited to NM.. but still.. this was almost like a really great opportunity to share the stage with higher class actors… I would have really hoped that somehow there would be a way around to make both of them.. the more Rob the better!!! oh well.. better luck next time.. i guess..

THE TWILIGHT DVD COVER HAS BEEN RELEASED! OME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


by Jessica on January 06 - 10:42 pm PDT

Ooooo… :’(
It’s ok though! That means he will have more focus on New Moon, and that he will put all his effort into it. I am very excited for New Moon! I can’t wait!

I have some speculations on this one…

*Could this have been promted by the fact he changed his look? Hollywood and roles are all about image, so maybe the unkept look he’ll have as he grows out his hair won’t allow him to play the part…?

*Maybe he wanted to step back and take some mental health time after his image has been saturated all over the media/internet. I don’t blame him! Plus NM & Eclipse being filmed back/back…. I love him to death and want him to stick around for a while, so maybe this was a good call.

Either way, we still have Little Ashes and How to Be- which he will be GREAT in. Summer House, I don’t think he’s in it enough to prove himself as an actor, but the other two– THOSE are the ones I’m dieing to see!!!

Hmm well it kind of sucks that something like new moon, that will help establish his career is kind of getting in the way of his career. Don’t get me wrong i would rather see him in new moon than any other film but thats just how i see it


by Nichole Aurora on January 07 - 4:18 am PDT

I think the news is very sad… I see a lot of raw talent with the young actor and I know he just wants to prove himself… with films as this one he might have been able to do that… I still look forward to see his other projects coming up. I also agree with who said maybe he is taking so personal quite time for him. New Moon changes Edwards character so much that maybe this down time will help him re-engerize and focus not on on the part but on what it is he wants from his life. Remember to keep it simple. To smile and laugh when you can and stay close to people who love you and for the goofy nerdy corky guy you are. Good luck :)

any movie he is in is olay with me just as long as he doesnt drop out of new moon or any of the others coming omg i love rob


by Connie on January 07 - 11:38 am PDT

At least he didn’t decide to drop out of ‘New Moon’ instead. That would have been a disaster…and some of you can’t always say that any movie he is in will be okay because not every movie he shoots will be perfect. We’re all thinking that because we love him.


by Connie on January 07 - 11:43 am PDT

And I agree with Angel. I was at a bookstore and I read a Life & Style Magazine and it said that ever since the change of director for ‘New Moon,’ a lot of the Twilight cast have been dealing with the pressure by hitting the party circuit and there was a photo of him drinking with his friends and he didn’t look good at all. It also said that for a ‘Pars per Billion’ business meeting, they could smell the booze on him and he looked extremely tired, so I hope that him dropping out of this movie may help him lay off some of the pressure.


by Connie on January 07 - 11:44 am PDT

*Parts

Thats FREAKIN SWEET MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Fact that Rob has chosen NEW MOON over another movie is an awesome sing people! This raises more hope that they’ll do the rest of the series as movies! I am so FREAKIN EXCITED PEOPLE!!!!!!! THIS IS FREAKIN SWEET!


by chicgeek on January 07 - 1:28 pm PDT

Hey Connie, I was thinking of that same magazine article, mean spirited as it was…. we hope the best for Rob and definitely want his happiness and can’t wait to see him in all the Twilight sequels to come!!!


by Melissa Cullen on January 07 - 4:11 pm PDT

Awww Rob!!!! I love him!!!!!
That’s so sweet for choosing New Moon over the other movie!!! So sweet that it’s sad that he can’t do both…But I like how he’s so loyal….And maybe loyal to us fans….

Soo sweet, nice, caring, adorable, lovable, loyal, cute, hunka-vampire-goodness!! lol!
love U Rob!!!
