As the New Moon breaks records, atten­tion should be brought to a trailer with a release date in March of 2010. No, not Eclipse, but rather Remem­ber Me, a film which could legit­imize Robert Pat­tin­son as an actor and not just a Teen Beat cover boy.
Remem­ber Me is filled with an amaz­ing cast: the impec­ca­ble, Acad­emy Award win­ner Chris Cooper, Pierce Bros­nan and Lena Olin. Robert is enlisted to play Tyler, a poetic mis­fit, who wants to be his own man but does not know how to find the path to becom­ing one. His father, por­trayed by Bros­nan, does not know what to do with him, which only leads to Tyler’s greater alienation.

Until, he meets Ally who gives him a spark at a real rela­tion­ship. She is quirky as is he, so it just might be ideal. That is, until her father played by Cooper steps in as the cop who busted Tyler ear­lier on with whom only ten­sions rise between them as Tyler’s rela­tion­ship with Ally grows.
Yes, this sounds like every other lost teenage romance film, with the idea of “To hell with every­one else!” This film is directed by Allen Coul­ter who has directed pri­mar­ily tele­vi­sion shows (as well as the very under­rated Hol­ly­wood­land) but therein lies the poten­tial strength of this film. His resume includes The Sopra­nos, Rome (HBO), Six Feet Under and Sex in the City. All of these shows have one major thread in com­mon. They are very character-driven. Which is good news for Pat­tin­son fans.
Addi­tion­ally, the movie will bring together a for­mi­da­ble love inter­est in Emi­lie de Ravin who plays Ally. She has great charisma and shines forth on the screen. This will be a much bet­ter pair­ing than Robert and Kristin, screen-wise.
If the trailer is any indi­ca­tion, Remem­ber Me promises to be the one film Pat­tin­son does that will not be forgotten.
