Twilight Star Hit By A Taxi

[Will-O'-The-Wisp]

"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi in New York as he tried to run away from a crowd of hysterical teenage fans, but he was not seriously injured.

Pattinson, 23, who stars in the hit teenage vampire movies, was clipped on the hip in front a bookstore in Manhattan where he was shooting scenes on Thursday for his new film, "Remember Me," a drama about two young lovers dealing with family tragedies.


Flanked by five security guards, the British actor tried to run past a group of teenage girls who had gathered outside the bookstore and cross the street to his trailer when the accident happened.


He was not seriously injured, but his bodyguards reportedly were furious, according to RadarOnline.com which claimed to have witnessed the accident. One of the bodyguards yelled at the girls: "You see what you did, you almost killed him!"

Pattinson's manager did not comment on the accident.


Pattinson has become one of the hottest properties in Hollywood since appearing in "Twilight" as brooding vampire Edward Cullen

To be honest, this is bad news. I know a lot of people automatically think "hurr hurr, it's Twilight", but the actor himself has admitted on a number of occasions that he dislikes the Twilight books and the whole fact that it's aimed at fat 16 year old girls. It's just a job.

If that weren't enough, the sole reason he was hit by the taxi was because of the God-forsaken fanbase.

Being mobbed by teenage girls or running into the path of a car. Sounds like he has his priorities right then... I doubt anything they could have done to him would have potentially resulted in his death. It's his own fault.

unless of course there was an obessive fan there of course, so someone insane who thought he was a vampire (there would be people out there i'm certain)

Taxi drivers versus vampires now? Sounds like a good premise for a B-Movie. I certainly have my preference out of the two.

It's the....thing that produces the Twilight books he needs to hit(i refuse to acknowlage her as an author i think it'd be an insult to real ones).

As a fan of Ann Rices work and well, any decent book you could name i can't avoid becoming enraged everytime someone "recomends" i read Twilight.

As pointed out by Steven King himself, "Stephany myers isn't very good. She can't write worth a darn."

Any of you guys here about this? Once the Twitards found out what King said, they RAGED...

"You're just jealous of Edwards good looks!"

I ******** you not, that's a genuine quote.

Zin said B movie so my first thought was Bruce Canpbell, i think he's got enough quaflications to fight and kill vampires with a witty oneliner

Mmm, useful for reflecting sunlight nito those dark areas where the vampires hide.

How about a compromise, we but them both in it, Bruce W is the experinced older driver who is retiring soon, and Bruce C is the new guy coming in to replace him (non-logical true but its a b movie for crying out loud) then they end up in a vampire infested neighbourhood they fight yatta yatta

Agree's with Retro's statment (though he looks pretty down to earth IMO).

Her fans proved they were stupid beyond bounderies the moment they came out with sh-, wait, Retro, aren't you a girl? Haha, well done I guess.

Wait, now I sound sexist ><. No offence!

WRT to Stephen King, he's least popular books always became the best movies.
Shawshank Redemption is a movie that had countless re-watchs by me. I can't remember of any greater story right now.
And he told that story with what? a hundred or so pages.

Seriously, who on earth cares what Stephen King looks like? He's an excellent writer, who never fails to fully enthrall me. With his books you're fully immersed in them, and you yourself feel like you're staying in the Overlook, or running from that deadly virus. He's one of the great writers of our times, and it frustrated me so much to see vapid comments from twelve year girls who have no idea what decent literature.

Meh, he's hit or miss. He's a good descriptive writer certainly, but some of his plots are ridiculous to the point I can't take them seriously at all. I can't help but think that halving his output would have doubled the overall quality of his work. Not that I blame him. If I was able to write as well as he does at the speed he can I'd be milking it for all I could get too.
