Pattinson gets his shot with the romantic drama Remember Me playing a ne-er do well in New York who finds solace in the arms of a quirky girl (Emilie de Ravin). Pattinson talks about why he believes Remember Me is, for lack of a better word, memorable. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR BELOW TO HEAR ROBERT PATTINSON)
