After we saw the video on the previous entry we figured, OK they asked their one Twilight question, and now they’ll get into a Yellow Hankerchief Interview. So we posted the video in the previous entry and prepared to write a Yellow Hankerchief centric post very much like we’ve done for Remember Me, and Valentine’s Day in recent weeks. Instead, we were in for a bit of an unexpected surprise.

There are 7 more interviews each from 35 seconds to 1 minute 32 seconds.  The commercials and the intro drum riff are longer than some of the videos.  Kristen and her costar, Eddie Redmayne, (who was an incredibly good sport to sit there like a potted palm) were there for the Yellow Hankerchief press junket.  Somehow the majority of the questions all worked back to Twilight. They culminate in the video below where Eddie just rolls his eyes and lets Kristen answer the question. There was next to nothing asked about the movie the Yellow Hankerchief, which is what this press conference was for.

As Twilight fans of course we are interested in Kristen’s take on Bella, but we are also interested in the other projects Kristen is doing in her career for their own merits. It’s our experience that many Twilighters have become fans of the actors because of the initial Twilight introduction, but now look forward to seeing them perform in other things.

We hope these interviews don’t foreshadow a trend. It sort of reminded us how Colin Firth keeps getting asked Mr. Darcy questions 15 years after the infamous wet shirt pond swim. Please let the Remember Me press junket not be an endless barrage of peppering Robert Pattinson with Twilight questions.

We try not to editorialize too much here, but as Twilight fans we’re actually kind of upset. Who knows if anyone in media is listening given they think we’re all tweens, but who knows maybe they are so we’re going to given this one a shot: 1) we want to know what other projects Kristen (or for that matter any other Twilight actor) is doing and what they are about, and 2)it’s kind of insulting to Twilight fans to think we are so selfish to want Twilight to take over another press junket…edited 3)the last thing we want is Twilight actors and their co-stars and directors to be resentful that the Twilight franchise is going to overshadow everything.
