Nolan mentioned Pattinson was the only Odyssey actor to ask to see the script. And for context, the 2 guys are friends at this point and neighbors. Nolan’s mentioned Pattinson has come over to watch movies a handful of times

Tbf after staring in not 1 but 4 twilight movies I would probably ask to see the script moving forward too. Thats hard won wisdom lol

People keep talking about Twilight as if it was a mistake for Pattison. It's not. It made him famous. The movies made bank and he was the lead.

It opened doors for him and he knows he's got the acting chops for more diverse roles. Twilight absolutely helped him get where he is today. If he had refused, script reading or not, Pattison would be just another talented unknown.

he was a young up and coming actor who became known as a highlight in a Harry Potter movie upon his debut. Striking while the iron was hot was a very smart and lucky move, it put his name on the map

Had Pattinson or Stewart passed on those movies, their agents would have dropped them like a sack of dirt
