Robert Pattinson has dropped out of "Parts Per Billion". On Tuesday, January 6, MTV News has come out with a report confirming that the "Twilight" star is no longer involved with the indie project to be co-produced by actress Rosario Dawson, adding that Pattinson's commitment for "New Moon" has led to the decision.
When asked about the 22-year-old actor's exit, his representative, Nicholas Frenkel, stated, "What you heard is correct." He further explained, "Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on 'New Moon' haven't left enough time for Robert to work on 'Parts per Billion' in the first quarter of this year." Initially, Pattinson is scheduled to begin shooting in Los Angeles this January for this movie which reportedly will contain his steamy love scenes with "Juno" actress Olivia Thirlby.
Having a hit movie with "Twilight", Robert Pattinson will reprise his role as Edward Cullen in the vampire drama's sequel, "New Moon". However, before the sequel hits U.S. theaters on November 20, the Cedric Diggory of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" will be seen on the big screen starring as Salvador Dali in "Little Ashes", which will get its limited U.S. release on March 27.
Meanwhile, "Parts Per Billion" is an ensemble film which follows three couples whose lives are being impacted by the same catastrophic event. To be directed by Brian Horiuchi, the movie is said to be starred by Rosario Dawson, Olivia Thirlby and Dennis Hopper.

if rob left new moon i wouldnt watch it! i would hate the movie if he left! rob pattison is my life! I LOVE HIM TO DEATH! if he left new moon i would cry, and i wouldnt watch the movie
if rob leave there would be no point to even continuing on with the movies it just wouldnt be the same without him it would be wrong
I think that if Robert Pattison leaves Twilight, then there's no reason to continue watching. Things will not be the same. He must stick to them all.I would be very mad for reading all those books and then knowing that Edward will no longer me my same beautiful Robert Pattison! I'm in love with you....
does anybody know whether he d leave Twilight at the 3rd part after New Moon or not?? Im worried
does somebody know whether he d leave Twilight at the 3rd part after New Moon or not?? Im worried
i am i love with twilight i watch it all the time. i love robet pattinson in it he is so good. and dont forget a hottie:)
i am glad he is is staying i wouldn't of botherd watching new moon if rob wasn't going to play edward cullen no-one else could of pulled it off like he can he makes me go all cold wen i just watch him on screen i just hope he sticks around for the other 2 eclipes and breaking dawn pls rob stay for all of them ur number 1 fan
so is he going to be in newmoon or not?
i think that robert should stay its not fair at least cutie taylor luanter is still on
i think the next movie might suck without hottie robert pattison it so dume he was the cuttiest
I love twilight I have the movie and I have seen it a million times I new he was going to stay but I did not know if i was right or not.I love edward and bella/robbert pattison and kristen stewert Im so glad he stayed. Twilight would not be the same without him and even if he was not in it i would still go see it but i would be so sad and dissapointed. and it would probably not be that good. I LOVE EDWARD AND BELLA> AND TWILIGHT.
Why would he do that?!
i want to see robert in every movies,i love him more than my life,please stay in twilight
i want to see rob in every movies.i love him more than my life
iam so happie that he is staying.
OMG!!!!!! i am so happy that rob is staying wiht twilight. i mean it would not be twilight with out him. and rob is a really hot vamp!!!!
I'm sure Rob was looking forward to working on PPB, however with conflicting schedules and his commitment to NM, he had no choice but to withdraw. He is going to be busy with New Moon,Eclipse, and hopefully Breaking Dawn.
Rob is such a fabulous actor with great potential. He is committed to the Twilight saga..however when it is completed I would like to see involved in other films. There are no limits to the roles he's capable of performing. He would of been great in PPB.
rob is a relly good actor..im so glad that Rob has stayed on twilight....it would be an awful movie if Rob wasnt in it there would be no point in watcing it..i think Rob is the most beautiful actor on whole world...i am in love with him...but relly:)
pls pls pls robert dont quit.
I am happy that Robert decided to keep his attention focused on the twilight series. I found him handsom as Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. However, in Twilight he seems to have come into adulthood with stunning sensuality and a better aptitude for variable roles than he was able to express in the previous film.
If robert Pattinson wasn't in 'New Moon' no one would watch it, lets just stick to that. i havn't even seen 'Twilight' yet, and i'm amazingly attracted to him.
if robert quite new moon, then the whole twilight saga would probs have to come to a halt... it would be kind of weird to use a different edward without a different bella in my opinion, because i think as the movie went on you could kind of see they got closer so they worked better together as the characters. so it would be weird if kristen was with someone else, because they didn't really get to know eachother well through twilight and develop that kind of thing where they work together well, so i think it would mess it up. it would be hard to find another edward too. i'm glad he is doing twilight. it must have been pretty intense for him to be thrown into boom stardom because of his staring in this movie though!
Good im glad he quite. The rest of the films wouldn't be the same if they change him. And I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON!!!!!!!
yeahhh, if robert doesn't play in New Moon, then im deff not going to watch itt.
To be honest i had not heard of robert before twilight and i watched and thought it was amazing!! He was amazing aswell as the other actors. If he quit it wudnt be the same and i think all the fans would be proper gutted!! Dont quit!!
Have never felt so passionate about any story in my life as the "Twilight" series - Rob is the diamond, literally, that shines this movie bright. Never put someone else in his place as he's Edward for eternity....just as I wish I was his Bella.
rob has to stick with the twilight series, its that movie that pretty much made him famous and well liked. I know he was in Harry Potter, but no-one knew his name. now everyone does know his name because of twilight.
yea i think that if it comes down to rob not playing edward i'd prbly not go see New Moon. I mean he's like the perfect edward i think
rob totally has to stick w/ the twilight series! nobody else can pull edward's part off!!!
if rob pattinson is not in new moon then there is no way im going to watch them im am in love with him and if he leaves im going with him.also taylor should still play jacob. i love you rob.i definetly want to meet you!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo
OK! i commeted on this before and just to let u know that if u wanna see one of my favorite shows with rob and taylor then all u need to do is go to youtube type in "robert and taylor on tyra banks show" hit eneter then find the longest video to see taylor's when tyra give him the Team Taylor thong!
I wish people would actually READ THE HEADING!!!! it says HE DITCHES THE MOVIE, "PARTS PER BILLION" SO HE CAN DO the movie, NEW MOON!!!!!!! DUH! so stop thinking he was going to quit new moon! practice reading!
OMG I AGREE WITH U GUYS WHEN I WAS READING THE BOOKS I COULD SEE ALL THE ACTORS FROM THE MOVIE IN MY HEAD,IT WOULDNT FEEL RIGHT IF THEY CHANGED THE ACTORS ESPAICALLY ROBERT...I LOVE ROBERT PATTINSON ;]
OMFG!!!! i was SOOO pissed when he was thinking about quiting!!! u should have seen me on the internet looking to see if he was going to be in New Moon!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!! he plays then PERFECT Edward Cullen! i have SOO many pictures of him and kristen that it's not even funny! and i found out that robert pattinson is single for all u old enough!!!! he is 22 and has a friggin sexy acsent!!!!! I LOVE U ROB!!!! FOR EVER AN EVER!!!
i loveeeeeeeeeee twilight soooooooooooo glad robert didnt quit hes the only one who could pu;; it off as EDWARD CULLEN!!
omg im sooooooooo happy!
I was freaking out when i herd rob was going to quit New Moon!!!I read the books in about a week! i was up late at night over the weekends looking up if he was going on with New Moon! but i too am also wondering if they are going to put a wig on him or is he hair gonna be just long enough when they start filming? i guess we will just have to wait and see! i love him and if u go on youtube they have soon funny clips of him and kristen! one of my favories was when they were on the Tyra show and he bit her neck! and Tyra brought out the Team Taylor, Team Robert thongs out... u should have seen Taylor's face!!!
Lyk LOL Good But Bad R U All So In to Him He Is A Good Acter But Imean It He Cant Sing Sorry But He Is SO Hot
Ryan again free time...HA HA! Sam are you gay? Like me
Ryan again free time...HA HA! Sam are you gay? Like
I just came out of the cupboard cos of being gay i think you are way to hot for me. Hope we can meet up some time
jeeze he has alot of acting to do - new moon, harry potter, and that new one
yay!...i would die if rob didn't stay in new moon, you simply cant find a better edward than him. the whole cast should come back for the sequel, IluvROB!
omg...do nt giv me a heart attack like tht.....rob is the one and only edward.....no one can take his place...Xx LOVE YOU ROB...xXxXx
oh well the book and the movie really HIT it BIG. as in SUPER MEGAPHENOMENAL that I never imagine how it would amazingly complement each other. While reading the books I could vividly visualize the actors moving like i was watching them. i'd say THEY ALL should stay in the movie or else it would be a real frustrating... EDWARD and BELLA are just perfect for their roles. iloverob!
i am realy happy for rob stay in new moon..and i hope to stay in the next one..because if he don't it doesn't matter to see the movie!!edward and bella is unreplacable in this movie!!!!!you are exactly my brand of heroin...
perfecto!!! I'm so so sooo....happy know rob still stayed. no one in this world could can change rob to be edward, and I never watch new moon if edward will change with another actor mmm...I really want to be a vampire too, to follow u until the end of the world hee... ^_^
i am sooooooooooooo happy that rob stayed. people were saying he wasnt gonna. i personally think it would've ruined new moon if he didnt play edward. i also think taylor should still be jacob. (: so yea.
Rob is really commited to parts per billion but itwas hard to work out the schedule for both that movie and new moon.
Its nice to here the news rob...
I must say that when i heard talks that Rob was not going to be playing edward in New Moon i freaked. Ive read the books over and over and seen the movie a lot also. Rob is the perfect match to play Edward and no one could play that role like he does. So im so glad he choose to do New Moon. I can not wait for it to come! We lovee you and keep on doin what u do !
I think Rob made an intelligent and reputable decision to not be a part og the indie film "Parts Per Billion" because time is upon him and he cannot do everything all at once. Sometimes sacrifice(s) needs to be made and he has done so to please himself and us die-hard twi-hards fans. I am sure he will pick up where he left off after the twilight sequels and i assure you production companies will be literally begging him to be in their movies be it indie or mega hit movies. I say keep going Rob and we wish you all the best for this 2009 year and the rest of your existence.
im so glad that Rob has stayed on twilight.it would be an awful movie if Rob wasnt in it there would be no point in watcing it.i just hope Edward doesnt die in the next movie i will just die.LOVE U ROB
I think he made a good choice...I mean he couldn't possibly be working on both, poor guy needs a break from time to time...I think he's a great actor and i'm happy he's commited to the role of Edward! :] Lots of hugz Robert!!!!
He's so totally gorgeous! Im glad he is edward cullen totally fits the part!Agree with RobPattinsonLover is he going to where a wig in New Moon!! Love ya new hair!! xxx
I'm inspired by his committment to twilight. He really does seem like a nice person. I just wonder, in new moon isn't he supposed to disappear for quite a while? Meaning he'd have a small break from twilight. Still I support him 110%
umm im happy he is playing edward again because there is no other person who could play him he is the best person for the part and if any of the other charecrers would change it would just be wrong because you alread know that they are perfect for the part and it would screw the movie up if non of the other people return
im so glad he's commited to being Edward Cullen still. He fits the part very well & hes a really good actor. My only question is, are they going to use a wig on him now since he's cut his hair off? he cant be Edward without his golden hair Still love ya though Rob♥
I wouldn't say Rob "ditched" the movie, it was just inevitable. He really wanted to do the film, just the timing was tricky. It happens in the movie business all the time, especially with sought-after talent like Rob.
