I think the nuttiness of the fandom is also getting to him.

The way he initially described him, I thought it pretty clear he believed the fellow had “issues” as he puts it, but it didn’t have quite the “nasty” edge some of the later interviews have. The result is that his reported analysis of Edward has got more and more negative.

Although I think some of this is an effect of being interviewed multiple times with essentially the same questions and he’s just trying to avoid repeating the exact same words over and over. Pattinson isn’t subtle, and needs to learn to be. It’s not THAT uncommon for an actor to subtly badmouth a character and/or film with which he’s involved … it’s just expected to be done subtly. If something like this happened to a new or smaller author, it could kill a future book, not to mention really harm a career.Īctors in Pattinson’s position not infrequently take on roles thay may not be that fond of or for films with scripts they may think stink for the exposure and for getting the “starring” credit. Meyer is lucky that she’s such a big name, a leak like this won’t ruin her career. Epiracy probably starts with someone legally downloading a book, then sending it to a trusted friend to “share”, like with a paperback, and then maybe that friend sends it to someone, and then somewhere down the line, the book ends up on those illegal mass-distribution sites where anyone can get it for free. It’s an author’s worst nightmare, really. – and then it ends up available everywhere when someone eventually sends it to a person who isn’t very ethical. I’ve sent pre-edited versions of my books to friends for feedback, and if somehow those ended up available for public viewing on the internet, I’d be horrified.Īs for how it could have happened, if Meyer only sent those chapters to people she trusted…well, one of those trusted people could have forwarded it to a friend – sworn to secrecy, of course – who then forwarded it to another friend – sworn to secrecy, etc. If this was an unintentional leak, then I feel bad for Meyer.
