Yeah, I've never seen the appeal of Pattinson, clearly not my type. I
also think if he had the chops he would have gone on to a bigger career. He
was in two high profile franchises, people have managed to launch from
less.
Neither did I. And I tried to watch him in Water for Elephants, and gave
up. Couldn't make it through the film. He's just not very good.
I think 50 Shades is more of a female movie, much like Twilight was -- and
in both cases did a better job of launching the female lead. Kristen
Stewart has done better than Pattinson for example. Which is why a lot of
male actors, Matt Boomer, Charlie Hunan, and a few others ended up passing
on it. Pattinson wouldn't touch it, he hated the Twilight films and felt
they hurt rather than helped his career.
(Having watched the first two, I can understand why. Everyone seemed deeply
stoned in those movies, it was very odd.)
I thought about The Fall, but I'm really NOT a fan of the serial killer
trope. It's why I couldn't get into the fan favorite "Hannibal".
