Robert Pattinson’s Meet and Greet at SXSW – What’s Next for the ‘Twilight’ Star?

This year, the 56th South by Southwest festival in Texas came with a bit of a surprise.

Not only did Robert Pattinson show up to the festival but he made a point to meet and greet attendees, much to the delight of fans who had been waiting years for some new material from the “Twilight” star.

Pattinson’s appearances at this year’s SXSW were made possible by the success of his most recent film, “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” The fourth installment in the “Twilight” series grossed over $400 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing installment of the franchise.

The world of pop culture was taken by surprise when news broke that “Breaking Dawn” would be followed by a sequel. Filmmakers and industry insiders wondered out loud if the massive success of the first film was a fluke or a sign of things to come for the series.

While answering fans’ questions at a press tour in Taipei recently, producer Frank Marshall admitted that the enormous demand for the final “Twilight” movie was a bit overwhelming. Marshall explained that he and the rest of the film’s creative team didn’t know what to expect because they had never made a sequel before. Even so, they decided to give it a go and asked Pattinson to return for the role of Edward Cullen. As if on cue, the actor delivered a standout performance that made the decision to bring him back easier.

Since the release of “Breaking Dawn,” Pattinson has been relatively quiet with no new projects in the works. He hasn’t played a lead role in a film since then and has mainly worked on the sidelines as a producer. The actor took some time off after the wrap of “Breaking Dawn” to spend with his family.

Rumors swirled that Pattinson would once again partner with frequent collaborator Madonna on a new film. While there’s undoubtedly a creative and iconic partnership between these two, it’s hard to imagine an interesting story beyond maybe a period piece. One of the best films at SXSW this year was the quirky, low-budget heist comedy, “The Lifeline.” The film featured a great ensemble cast, including Robert Pattinson, Madge Bama, and Aaron Brooks. Unfortunately, the film didn’t receive a distribution deal, and after its limited theatrical release, it was quickly forgotten about. It’s a shame because the film was really funny and featured some brilliant scenes, including one of Pattinson’s funniest performances ever.

As SXSW wrapped up, fans looking for a last hurrah lined up to meet and greet Pattinson. Even those who didn’t necessarily want to meet him were tempted by the prospect of seeing the “Twilight” star for the last time.
