MyParkMagazine has a new article about Rob not getting paid the $12million for New Moon:

Robert Pattinson isn’t being paid $12m (£8.1m) for being in New Moon. Rob has been forced to defend himself after various websites suggested that he is getting paid megabucks for playing Edward Cullen.

The British actor told the BBC: “I read some gossip thing saying, because I looked really uncomfortable in a paparazzi photo or something, they’re like, ‘He should get used to it. That’s the price to pay if you’re getting $12m (£8.1m) a movie’.

“If I’m getting paid $12m a movie I’d walk around naked. That’s all nonsense. I don’t know who makes that stuff up. Even the price for the first one was nonsense.”

Rob loves playing Edward Cullen and is excited about the other Twilight movies. He added: “I went into it doing it as a trilogy. They’re shooting the second one in March. I’m not really in it that much in the second one.
“The lead character is somebody else, which is another reason why I’m not being paid $12m. I’ve got two scenes.”

  • Stephie:

    2 scenes? What!? Hopefully it’s two very long scenes!

  • Tracy:

    I wish he did get $12 million a movie…if only to see him walking around naked.
    :-D

  • Maddie:

    The would be nice to see him walking around naked. that is not fair that he only has two scenes, but at least they are sticking to the book. that’s good :)

  • Elizabeth:

    wow, 2 scenes!?
    bella’s birthday,
    break up in the forest,
    tunnels w/ voltury,
    at her room when they get home,
    and i don’t remember some other ones.
    how does that ends up with 2 scenes.
    but then again, i means more taylor.
    oh, well. just gonna have to wait.
    and i’m all in for seeing some naked pics of him.

  • haynsoljah:

    2 Scenes? They should be kinna long…the one at the beginning–not too long, but at the end….kinna long right?

  • dhen:

    if he is only given to scenes then it must be good ok? it must be very too long scenes where i can’t see jacob at all for the whole movie… and besides the italy scene is more dramatic than with jacob, why do meyer wrote a second book were edward is not the main story? sigh…

  • Cris:

    actually, they are probably splitting it up into two movies – maybe (that would make better sense given how long the book was). otherwise, i’ll be mad if they do away with the whole voltouri thing and all that.

  • Shelby:

    Only two scenes!? How’s that possible ’cause the ending’s pretty huge and it’s alll about Bella and Edward!

  • dazzled:

    just 2 scenes?! i agree i hope those two scenes are very long. im most excited to see the part in europe.i’m sure it will still break my heart when edward leaves..

  • shissou:

    good to see he’s not obsessed with money though. why don’t they add up some scenes that are not from the book?

  • madzioszka:

    just 2? please no…

  • I Have RCD:

    it is nice that he’s not obsessed with money, although it really would be great if he did walk around naked.

    2 SCENES????????? well they will be very long i suppose…. and they might do the whole voices thing, so he would still feature a little bit in the main part of the movie…

  • Tami:

    Ahhh I don’t even want to speculate!…MAYBE he was under exaggerating …maybe they are really really long scenes, maybe he was just frustrated and said the first thing that popped into his pretty little head.
    I’m gonna go read Breaking Dawn :/

  • Tami:

    I wonder what kind of frenzy will be unleashed by the utterance of those two words: TWO SCENES
    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Alex:

    Your Bloody Kidding Right?!

    TWO SCENES?!?!?!?! How Much Are They Cutting Out?! Flipping Heck!

    I Am Going To Go INSANE!

    GRRRRR!

  • Crissy:

    OH! ^%$##^^!!!!!!!!!

    the scenes better be long.

    and he better look x-tra smexi lmfao

  • Kelly:

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him make this comment before. I think it’s an old quote that they’re posting as a new article – it’s very common. So I wouldn’t freak out just yet! There’s no way he can only do two scenes, I think it was just a number to show that his time will differ from the first one – which is very true.

  • Kim:

    i agree, only 2 scenes! They better be really good

  • katrina:

    two scenes?! thats it?! well they better be good! and there should be more than just two scenes with bella and edward. i remember a lot more than two times they were together in new moon. and if they cut out certain parts from the volture ill be so angry.

    i luv edward and rob<3333

  • alyuriko:

    2 scenes? thats sorta short isnt it? hmmm…well, hopefully its 2 loooooonnnnnggggg scenes! ;)

  • Stephanie T.:

    OMG 2 SCENES! Ok. Maybe I can deal with it. OMG NO I CAN’T! I think its gonna be more. PLEASE LET IT BE MORE!

    Hummmmmmm Rob naked…..anybody got 12 mil I can borrow? Pretty Please? :)

  • danielle:

    2 scenes????? i hope he was just trying to appease the press…..

  • Connie:

    Nah, it definitely has to be more than two scenes…but that makes sense though.

  • Kylie:

    it HAS to be more than two. just not possible.
    plus what about all of bellas like vision things when she does something dangerous ?

  • rochelle:

    omg, pay him 12 m! i wanna see him naked, :D

  • Brittany:

    He’s in more than 2 scenes. And this movie is going to suck without him cause I don’t like Jacob. So with rob barely being in the movie is annoying and I’ve read all the books n I know he’s not really in new moon but he def has more than 2 scenes.

  • Stephanie T.:

    SOMEBODY PLEASE GIMME 12 MIL! lmao!

  • Katie:

    Everyone,

    I’m sure he’s exaggerating a little. It probably went something like “oh I’m only in 2 scenes anyway”. If I were to talk about the book out loud I would probably say the same thing. I’m sure it’s the big scene at the end and other little things.

    Plus, we all knew this would happen anyway! It’s a long book and the bulk of it is not Edward.

  • twilightkid12 (or Alice, cuz all my friends r changing their name....):

    2 scenes?! R THEY CRAZY?!

    on the walking around naked comment, i luv him and everything, but, 2 tell u the truth, i honestly don’t want to c him naked. 1, he would get in jail(doesn’t anyone learn after Brittany Spears? ) 2, parents would c him as a bad role model- restricting seeing New Moon and other movies, and 3, i REALLY don’t want 2 c any of that….i meant, the most naked i’m sure some of u want 2 c is just him w/ his shirt off, or something. but not THAT far……*shuddering and shying away from computer*

  • Joanna:

    OME! WHAT? They cant make him do only TWO scenes!! This is all the new directors faulght!! U know what that must mean right? They probably cut out A LOT of others scenes from the movie…. How much u want to bet the scene were they go to the movies with Mike Newton is not going to be there? If they cut out the birthday scene and make it something else im going to kill someone (preferrably the director) AND WHEN BELLA GOES TO THE MEDOW AND THE MOTORCYCLES AND THE PART WERE SHES WALKING ALONE WHEN JESSICA e HER GOT TO A MOVIE TO HEAR HIS VOICE THATS LIKE THE whole BOOK! R THEY GOING TO CUT OUT THOSE PARTS too!?! IM SO MAD RIGHT NOW!!!

    Seeing the Romeo and Juliette movie
    She gets her birthday presents and edward gives her that music CD with his compositions
    She takes pictures of him and his dad with the camera she got
    when he leaves her
    she starts hearing his voice while de javus and stuff
    Voltura scene
    They return home
    He asks her to marry him
    “forever”
    “thats all Im asking for”
    thats like 50 SCENES RIGHT THERE!

  • Babbbles:

    Woah, woah, calm down. Rob is known to exaggerate the nature of things on occassion–he’s an artist; it’s what he does. When he said “two scenes” he’s just emphasizing how much smaller a role he will play in NM. He only meant that he is essentially only in the two “bookends” of the story: the beginning, and the end.

    I read somewhere that if you divide up the dialogue for each character in New Moon, the total “screen time” for Jacob/Bella moping and playing versus Edward/Bella angst is essentially in a 3.5 to 1 ratio, anyway. That means that in a 2-hour film, 93 minutes (ish) belong to Jacob/Bella’s arc, and only about 30 belong to Edward/Bellaness. In the grand scheme, Rob’s right. It’s a fairly small bit of work for him time-wise. Emotionally, though, he’ll have to really push himself. It will be a tough role for him in that sense.

    Oh, and if he wants to walk around naked, I think we Twilighters could scrape up about $12mi cash, if we all pitched in, right?

  • ali:

    oh come on guys rob is exagerating… lol. :P he is in more than 2 scenes.

  • Lima:

    OMG robert is UGLY but wen he plays as edward OMG HE’S FREAKIN HOTTTTTTTTT!!!! I LUV EDWARD CULLEN WEN ROBERT PLAYS HIM HE’S SOOOOOOOOOOOOO perfect 4 the character

  • Tay:

    TWO SCENES?!?!?!?!? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD!!! NOOOOO! TWO…SCENES…-DIES-

    HE CAN’T BE EXAGGERATING…I’M SURE HE’S READ THE SCRIPT.
    -DIES AGAIN-

  • Ramona:

    I’m pretty sure the 12 million reports came out around November and he made a statement like this then. I think they’re taking old statements and making new articles about them (it happens a lot) – so I wouldn’t take it too seriously.

  • jackson lovee.:

    someone give him 12 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!
    just kidding…
    hes most likely kidding about the two scenes. i mean the beginning and then the ending.

  • crystal aka leah:

    poor rob=( it must really suck having rumers spread about u 4 the whole world 2 c. and i agree w/ tk12 aka alices comment awhile back, i like rob but i think walking around naked is a bit of over exposure.lol. and i’m sure he is going 2 b in more than 2 scenes he was probably just pissed about the rumers and was just babbling on.lol.

  • Alexis:

    what people say about how much Rob is being paid is absolute crap. Even my own sister believes anything that is posted on twilight or on Rob. Come to the party guys everything unless said by him is a rumor. everyone spreading rumors about him aren’t twilighter’s no matter what you say. if you believe the crap that goes on you don’t even belong on this site…

  • I Love Emmett:

    He may not be getting paid 12 million but I read that both he and Kristen are getting 10 million each. ????? I think its ridiculous the amount of money that entertainers get paid. What the heck do they do that I couldn’t do?

  • Team Edward, yet Team Taylor:

    yeah, he’s definitely in more than two scenes.

  • Leslie:

    How is that even possible? If there are only two scenes for him, that means the book is going to followed properly. I’m already irritated, if that’s the case. I mean, I was annoyed that they skipped over a lot of the good stuff during the first film and now we’re hearing that Edward’s only appearing for two scenes…Should I just prepare myself now to be disappointed? Perhaps I should forget I read that and remain hopeful. Sigh…

  • Michelle:

    OMFGGGG! TWO SCENCESSSS OMG! THEY CNAT DO THATR MY SEXY EDWARD( robesrts yuck though) OMG! NOOO:’( IMA WRITE ALOT OF MAI L TO THE,!

  • katrina:

    there better be more than two scenes! to tell you the truth, i really dont like jacob that much, and they should put edward in when he is in in the book. i think there are way more than two times that he is present in the book, and i know im not the only person that knows that. and rob MIGHT be exagerating but seriously, what if he is not?! ill be like so angry. its not just cuz i dont like jacob that ill be angry, its just because they should be true to the book. if they only put rob(edward) in two scenes, i dont think thats true to the book. well hopefully rob is exagerating, or its just a rumer, and they stay true to the book.=)

    i luv edward and rob<3333

  • Stephanie T.:

    OMG LIMA! I think your blind! ROB IS FREAKIN HOT! And he has the voice of an ANGEL! GO TEAM EDWARD! :)

  • katrina:

    who said rob wasnt hot?!?! he is like the hottest guy ever!

  • Pauline:

    i am so upset. the movie will be really boring without Edward in a lot of scenes. i no in the book hes barely in it but at least make more out of where he is in the book. and hopefully hes scenes are really long or else ill be so upset =/

  • hannah♥s rob!:

    omg! its gonna be so sad only seeing rob in 2 scenes! i hope that they r tha longest sences in tha movie, bc i absolutly love rob. and i wish theyd pay him tha 12 mil. id love 2 c him walk around naked.

  • Lema:

    obviously its gonna be to loooong scenes

  • Lema:

    obviously its gonna be two loooong scenes

  • Lema:

    oops, i had comment issues lol
    anyway we have to wait for the movie
    and if rob isnt like in the movie that much, thats good. cuz the ppl are sticking to the book. New Moon is all about taylor/jacob black :P

  • Ah~man~duh!!! Cullen:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    there HAS 2 b more than 2 scenes
    i hope he’s just exaggerating

  • Tami:

    Ok I got 100 bucks liquid cash. Let’s see how much we can come up with…maybe if we’re short Rob will give us a break and leave just his guitar on. I could accept that. :)

  • Dana:

    HAHA!! Babbles is so funny! I completely agree with you though. He was probably just exaggerating a bit. I think it will turn out just as you said :) Oh and the naked thing…lol.. I don’t think any of us would mind that too much!

  • Jess:

    I think it was just an expression “I’ve got like 2 scenes” meaning he’s not in New Moon as much as he was in Twilight, I don’t think it was meant to be taken literally ;) .

    He should be in the beginning and the end of the movie, just — sadly — not the middle. Whereas he was in almost every scene in Twilight.

  • jacqueline:

    i dont know about u guys but im totally gna pitch in to get rob his 12 million…

  • two scenes?!?!?!?! please someone tell me that he didn’t mean that literally because maybe he’s just judging by the book… ugh!! but he’s already read the script!!!! ugh…i’m having an anxiety attack…

  • Stephanie T.:

    Tami I have $150! Lets pool da money! OMG Rob with nothing on but his Guitar! OMG!!!! ……. Sorry lost my train of thought! GO TEAM ROB & EDWARD! :P

  • haynsoljah:

    I hope they still KEEP Bella’s illusions of Edwards voice…..it’ll help keep us a little sane while not seeing Edward throughout the movie. That way, we can still hear that sexy voice of Rob throughout the movie.

  • michelle:

    Haynsoljah i think the bit you’re referring to is when she starts to hear Edward when she is doing anything risky i hope they keep it it adds to the storyline. but yes Rob is right he probably will only have a couple scenes max here are the few i can think of – bellas birthday party, when he leaves, the scenes with the Volturi in Italy, when he returns to Forks at the end of the book add it all up and it adds to more screen time for Taylor than Rob

  • susana cullen:

    OME!!!!!!!! two scences he has more than that in the book. and they said they were going to base it on the book. thats BS he cant have two scences only screw jacob taking all the scence that means hes in the very begining and the very end. :( i hate this

  • dani:

    I think rob looks gorgeous even when he’s not Edward. some people are so HARSH when they say he’s ugly. grow up.

  • kimmie cullen:

    2 scenes? yea i dont think he means tht literally guys. i think hes saying that he doesnt have a lot. cuz that wud be impossible the birthday scene is a definate and the break up scene is also a definate. and italy is a definte. so i think he doesnt really have 2 scenes.

  • Twilightaholic:

    You know what else?
    Two scenes would mean like… 2 parts. Like the leaving scene and the volturi scene. When there’s a change of setting it would be a new scene.. Wouldn’t that exclude like…everything?In the cliff diving scene she actually sees him. The other hallucinations could just be voice over, so I guess that shouldn’t count. But what if they went straigh to the bday scene in the beginning then right to the leaving scene? And then the Volturi, no explanation…gah. I’m dying here.

  • omc!!!!!
    pay him 12 mil.
    i wanna see him naked :P
    the only reason i watched the movie was cuz of edward!!! and hes only in two scenes!!
    i know!!
    why dont they make a compramize
    give him $12 mil. and in one of the 2 scenes hes in he can be naked!!! :D :D

  • SweetSofie:

    OMGEEZ
    He better be in 2 long scenes!
    Maybe the bday scene and the volturi scene?

  • omg:

    maybe he’s just summarizing it up when he said “2 SCENES”.
    he probably meant that he has short scenes. maybe “2 scenes” is just an expression meaning he doesn’t have that much part in the movie because you know.. yeahhh… he leaves her.

    but if it’s not an expression, maybe the first scene is him with bella and the second (last) one is the one where he reconciles with bella with the whole volturi thing going on.

  • vivtoria:

    If I give him $24(double of12)mil.
    Does that mean he’ll..oh I don’t know….
    DANCE naked
    Ohhh that’d be something to watch ;)

    Someone comment on my comment plzzz luv u Edward so hot I could cry :D
    Seriously this morning I woke up andy Edward action figure was I’m my
    Mouth :p not joking
    ANYWAY team Edward….obviously

  • vivtoria:

    and my ***

  • Alissa:

    how about everybody stop flipping out and think about. Um none of the cast is allowed to tell anything about the script..especially how many scenes they have and um especially Rob cause Edwards the lead..um yeah…did anyone think that he could be lying…theres WAY more parts in the book that Edwards in at the very beginning and then the end so it’s not only 2 scenes..if the movie is SO close to the book as they’re saying then it’s not only two scenes.

  • Alissa:

    if nobody noticed…Rob over exaggerates & lies about alot of things purposely and then we find out it’s not true..all of the cast does it..so that they don’t leak any REAL details.

  • Jacob_Black_fan:

    Does he actually have the script already? He’s probably recalling (poorly) what he skimmed through reading NM, cuz u know he didn’t actually READ it!!

  • Alissa:

    he did actually read it.

  • Eloise:

    OMG!! 2 scenes!! R u serious!! that’s not fair!! Chris weitz said he’ll try put rob more in the movie!!!

  • Alissa:

    Chris Weitz doesn’t have the authority to put Edward more into the movie, director or not. The only one who has that authority is the screen writer Melissa Rosenberg..and seriously..people need to stop reading into things and look at the facts..the cast is not allowed to disclose any real info so he could very well be lying.

  • I am starled at the jealous women here who say she is ugly AND the guy who said that she is like an average chick in a mall in San Diego. You can check out her video free at http://WatchKendraExposed.com

  • I just added th is feed to my favorites. I really like studying your posts. Thank you!

  • One other issue is that if you are in a scenario where you will not have a co-signer then you may want to try to exhaust all of your money for college options. You will find many grants or loans and other scholarship grants that will give you money to help with classes expenses. Thanks alot : ) for the post.

  • It's very lucky for us to meet an article like this. A lot of thanks for all your valuable work on this article.

  • Who should compete my comics fancydress

I knew I must be patient with Edward. It wasn’t that he was unreasonable, it was just that he didn’t understand. He had no idea how very much I owed Jacob Black — my life many times over, and possibly my sanity, too. — Bella Swan, Eclipse | Chapter 1
