Robert Pattinson’s new movie, which is tentatively titled Remember Me, began filming in New York City this afternoon. As an exasperated crew member was overheard complaining, “They might as well call it Paparazzi and ‘Tweens, ’cause there’s more of us than them!” It was a fair statement considering how the crowd had swelled substantially (a rough estimate of 200) outside of NYU’s Silver Center of Arts & Science, after fans had texted and called their friends to get to downtown Manhattan, like, omigod, right now!
The scene in question was of Pattinson (wearing a plaid shirt and donning those now-trademark sunglasses between takes) walking down the street while talking to a friend, smoking a cigarette, and holding a cup of coffee (he’s versatile!). During one scene, the actor who plays Pattinson’s friend mockingly yelled, “Have a good day, sweetheart!” as he walked away.
Oh, how the hundreds of girls who lined Washington Square Park would have loved to yell that to the Twilight star — though the couple of “I love you Robert!”s and “I love you Edward!”s that squeaked in will inevitably make for some tough sound editing. Members of the mostly young, female crowd, some of whom had skipped school and arrived at the scene as early as 9 a.m. to watch their beloved Pattinson, said they had been tipped off by onlocationvacations.com. While the crowd mostly kept calm during filming, once the movie broke for lunch, a flood of girls chased Pattinson as he was escorted to his next location. So will this wreak havoc on Remember Me‘s fliming or will the cast and crew simply have to up the security/location ante?
I feel so bad for him. If all those fans aren’t careful, he’s going to go underground for good. Please have some respect. He IS trying to work…
Summit should have known better than to allow an open, unsecured set. Haven’t they seen the RPattz Effect on females & papparazzi within 100 mile radius??
These young kids need to remember that he is working and they are trying to film a movie. I can’t believe how inconsiderate some people are these days.
This is crazy.They need some MAJOR security down there for him,before he gets hurt.Those fans REALLY need to learn some respect.I feel really bad for him,if this doesn’t send him over the edge I don’t know what will.

They need to get him the guard he had in Cannes
They really need to close the set. I work two blocks away and I was walking by the park on my way back from lunch and I got dam near trampled. I have lived in NYC for years and have seen my fair share of movie sets. I have NEVER seen such an aggressive, psychos screaming like this. If I was this twilight guy, I would be terrified. Close the set. Please!!!
Another mad girl stopped Rob acting

I don’t know which is worse.
Why in the hell are you posting the link where the freaks were tipped off at the location? That’s absolutely ridiculous on your part. It’s bad enough that he’s been attacked by skanky hoes, but you have to post the site where they found out the set location? bad, Bad, BAD on your part.
Douchebags. You’re just ADDING fuel to the fire.

Poor Rob…
I can understand that girls go crazy for Rob, but it they drive him nuts they won’t see anymore from him for a while so they’d better leave him alone. He’s got enough paparazzi to deal with anyway. I know that it’s the life he chose, in a way, but still there has to be limits. He should live in Canada where you can’t have your picture taken ans used without consent!
Stupid Summit! They should get him guards, and close the set! What did they expect would happen in the middle of New York city? The more I hear about Summit the more I don’t like them.
OMG what bunch of bimbos!!! Stop messing things up for some of the sane fans who Robert I promise wouldn’t do this to you or act like that!!! I’ve seen him several times when he was in Vancouver and left him alone, please ladies demonstrate self-control!
I hate stupid girly teeny bopper Twilight fans. And I AM a Twilight fan.
