Alt Film Guide Talks Remember Me Anticipation

On March 12, Allen Coulter’s romantic drama Remember Me, in which Pattinson plays an actual human being, will open in the United States. At about that time, the film will also hit screens in Russia, The Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, and Australia. Thanks to Pattinson’s presence, Remember Meis one of the most eagerly awaited movies of 2010.

Written by Will Fetters and Jenny Lumet (that’s veteran filmmaker Sidney Lumet’s daughter), Remember Me is set in New York City, where Tyler (Pattinson), a rebellious but introverted young man who has a difficult relationship with his rich father (Pierce Brosnan), develops a bond with a free-spirited classmate (Emilie de Ravin of Lost). Death is at the root of it all: Tyler’s brother killed himself, while Ally watched her mother get killed. Tyler and Ally seem ready to settle down, but unexpected obstacles get in the way.

Remember Me has some good credentials: In addition to Brosnan, the cast includes Chris Cooper, Martha Plimpton, and Lena Olin. Jenny Lumet won numerous critics awards last year for her Rachel Getting Married screenplay, while Allan Coulter’s Hollywoodland proved that Ben Affleck could act.

Will Remember Me prove that Robert Pattinson can be a real actor as well? Will Pattinson as a human being manage to attract his vampire fanbase to movie theaters the world over? We’ll find out soon enough — and in the meantime, you can check out the preview below.
