MTV Twilight New's Article: RPattz or KStew: Who will RULE 2012??
Robert Pattinson Or Kristen Stewart: Who Will Rule 2012?
January 03 2012 | Kara Warner
What better way to kick off the new year than with a detailed analysis of what 2012 has in store for our favorite "Twilight" lovebirds, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart?
In addition to the highly anticipated franchise finale, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," Pattinson and Stewart both have other projects on the horizon. For this week's "Twilight" Tuesday, we examine the superstars' next must-see movies.
On Pattinson's slate, there are two films of note: the saucy period piece "Bel Ami" and the David Cronenberg-directed drama"Cosmopolis." Neither film has an official release date yet, but because "Bel Ami" opens in the U.K. on March 2, we hope that means a U.S. release will soon follow. Pattinson and co-star Uma Thurman have not underplayed the fact that there is a lot of sex in the movie, which is evident in the trailer, and there's also plenty of Pattinson's "crack" — his words, not ours.
For the one or two Pattinson fans not interested in seeing their favorite actor's bare bum in "Ami," perhaps "Cosmopolis" will suit your needs. The story is based on Don DeLillo's novel of the same name and revolves around young multimillionaire Eric Packer (Pattinson) through a single day as he attempts to cross Manhattan in order to get his hair cut. According to Cronenberg, it's a role that really showcases Pattinson's acting chops.
"Really, he's fantastic. He's sensational," Cronenberg told MTV News. "Really, I'm telling you. He's a great actor. It's obvious in the movie. It's not like maybe yes, maybe no. It's obvious."
Switching gears toward Stewart's 2012 film forecast, the 21-year-old has a very busy year ahead of her, with the release of "Snow White and the Huntsman" and"On the Road."
Fans first get to see Stewart's sword-wielding skills as Snow White in Rupert Sanders' new telling of the classic fairy tale. "Snow White and the Huntsman" — or "SWATH," as it's been commonly referred to on the Internet — opens June 1 and shows us a side of Stewart we haven't yet seen. Stewart has been gushing about the project since filming began and might even be hoping for sequels.
"I've got stars in my eyes. I'm literally over the moon about what I'm doing right now," she told MTV News of her work on "Huntsman."
After that, we'll have a look at the long-awaited "On the Road," which doesn't officially have a release date but has been rumored to debut at some point during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. The film — based on Jack Kerouac's beloved semiautobiographical treatise on the Beat Generation and his road trips with a collection of colorful characters — features an eclectic cast, including Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge, Kirsten Dunst, Sam Riley, Amy Adams, Viggo Mortenson and Steve Buscemi.
Who has the edge here? We have lots of naked Pattinson vs. a sword-wielding Stewart — it's very tough to call. Not to mention the fact that they'll be back onscreen together in "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" on November 16. Perhaps the 2012 winners will be fans of the "Twilight" twosome!

Year in Review of Twilight from MTV NEWS
'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn': Year In Review
December 06 2011 | Kara Warner
This week's Twilight Tuesday is dedicated to the 10 best "Twilight" moments of 2011. Selecting the list proved to be a daunting task, considering an action-packed year full of"Breaking Dawn - Part 1" news, interviews, photos, videos and more. Among the biggest highlights were saucy honeymoon photos, much ado about a sex scene, the birth of a vampire/human hybrid baby and the return of the fan-created "tent city" in support of the L.A. premiere of "Part 1."
10. "Breaking Dawn" Soundtrack Revealed The vampire franchise has not only made its stars super famous, but an artist who lands on any of the films' best-selling soundtracks can expect a special boost and instant exposure to a massive fanbase. Emerging acts like Sleeping At Last and Christina Perri, as well as rising stars like Bruno Mars have earned featured spots on the compilations. But "Twilight" stars have also contributed material, with Mia Maestro's "Carmen" making the cut.
9. The "Twilight" World Tour There's nothing like the glitz of a red-carpet premiere to bring out the best in everyone, particularly with regard to wardrobe choices. When the "Breaking Dawn" cast embarked upon a whirlwind tour of world premieres, Twilighters couldn't wait to see who wore what. MTV News captured the glamorous looks in a handy photo gallery for repeated viewing pleasure.
8. "Breaking Dawn" Goes To Comic-Con Those who've been following the franchise from the beginning will probably remember that it was at in 2008 San Diego Comic-Con that thousands of screaming fans descended upon the annual pop-culture convention and surprised convention-goers with their overwhelming enthusiasm. That first showing was such a huge success that going forward, Summit made Comic-Con a major priority with regard to promoting the films. At this summer's event MTV News got several particularly newsy tidbits about Renesmee and Jacob's imprinting, but we also really loved hearing Kristen Stewart talk about Bella's wedding.
7. Our Extended "Breaking Dawn" Interview We've had the pleasure of catching up with the castmembers several times this year, so it was hard to narrow down all of those great interviews into just one favorite. That said, we loved hearing Robert Pattinson talk about Stewart playing a vampire in "Breaking Dawn - Part 2." And he really loved that she had to suffer through those uncomfortable contact lenses for the transition. "When she finally wore them and then was complaining about them every second of the day, it was kind of satisfying," he smiled.
6. The First Photo Any piece of "Twilight" news is arguably cause for a few screams of delight for Twilighters. But when Summit released the first steamy, swoon-worthy photo of newlyweds Edward and Bella in bed together, we could practically hear the collective squeals and sighs from fans around the world. Talk about starting the New Year off with a bang.
5. The Trailer This one really needs no introduction or explanation, but if there were squeals when the first photo was released, there may well have been mind-explosions and full-on fainting when we premiered the first full-length "Breaking Dawn" trailer during the '11 MTV Movie Awards. The clip offered glimpses of the wedding, a shirtless Jacob Black, the Cullens, the wolf pack, a very unexpected and dangerous pregnancy ... everything a Twilighter hoped for.
4. Fan-Made Reactions To The Trailer When we asked "Twilight" fans to send in their reactions to the trailer, we couldn't have anticipated all of the crying. Fans shed tears of joy, of course, and with those emotional outpourings clinched prominent placement on our list.
3. "MTV First: Breaking Dawn," The Highlight Reel As we've already mentioned, we were lucky to spend time with the cast this year. One of the best interviews we conducted was as part of our "MTV First" series. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner introduced anexclusive clip and let loose in a lively Q&A. We even put together a highlight reel from the extra-special event that includes making Stewart uncomfortable and Pattinson complaining about Lautner's well-defined abs.
2. The L.A. Premiere Excitement over the star-studded Los Angeles premiere of "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" was so intense it seemed to rival major Hollywood events like the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards. Celebrity super fans begged to attend and came out in droves to the premiere, many with their children and teenagers in tow. The fans' cheering was nonstop as the stars arrived on the black carpet, but it reached fever pitch with the arrival of Pattinson. Naturally, our quick chat with the heartthrob about all those sex scenes and their potential to give the film an R-rating made our Twilight Tuesday "best of" list.
1. Fans Unite In "Tent City" Make no mistake, we have high regard for Pattinson, Stewart, Lautner, director Bill Condon and everyone who worked on "Breaking Dawn," but when it comes to the franchise's key components, the fans are the real secret to its success. When we visited the dedicated, die-hard bunch that descended upon downtown Los Angeles to camp out, we were delighted by their enthusiasm. Gathered in appropriately named"tent city," they amassed several days before the premiere in a show of ultimate fandom.
So here's to you, "Twilight" fans, and see you again next year for "Breaking Dawn - Part 2."
Check out everything we've got on "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1."
