We know that Twilight star Kristen Stewart is already hard at work in pre-production of her next non-Twilight film (The Twilight Saga: New Moon wrapped production in late May/early June) and has already changed her appearance for her new film The Runaways … but what of the other Twilight star Robert Pattinson? Well, it turns out that he, too, has begun work on his next film. Here are photos of R. Pattz in NYC over the weekend on the set of his new non-Twilight film Remember Me:

Pattinson will play the lead role in “Remember Me,” a story of a young couple whose burgeoning relationship is complicated by a succession of family tragedies that test their bond, according to ScreenDaily.com. The makers of the film, which had previously been titled “Memoirs,” have not yet settled on which actress who will play Pattinson’s love interest. Emmy-winning director Allen Coulter (“The Sopranos,” “Damages”) will direct, and Jenny Lumet, who penned the script for last year’s critical darling “Rachel Getting Married,” is working on a draft of the screenplay … Summit is staying tight-lipped about plot specifics, but co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger likened “Remember Me” to “Love Story,” the classic 1970 romance starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal. Landing the “Remember Me” lead marks the first major role for Pattinson since he rocketed to public adulation for his portrayal of vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” franchise. He had been signed to appear alongside Rosario Dawson in “Parts per Billion,” but was forced to drop out due to his “New Moon” commitment.
Never fear rabid Twilighters, Remember me is scheduled to wrap production in time for Rob to begin working on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in August. I really hope that Pattinson is getting paid a lot of money for this new film … from the small amount of info we have about its premise, it doesn’t sound all that interesting. I guess the Powers that Be are really trying to milk him for all the romanticness that they can. I’m much more interested in Kristen Stewart‘s new film which is a biopic on the 70′s all girl punk band The Runaways. At least these two are both working this Summer … which, I guess, is the more important thing. It just goes to show that man (and woman) cannot live on Twilight alone.
