While doing some finishing touches to my Twilight: New Moon review, I got the chance to watch the trailer for Robert Pattinson's upcoming modern drama entitled Remember Me. The first thing I noticed - not the acting - but the music. I love it!

Director Allen Coulter appears to be trying to create a refreshing new take of the tired and old formula of 'bad boy loves good girl' theme, throwing in, what appears to be, a difficult relationship between father and son. I'm pretty sure Rob Pattinson can match Brosnan, who plays his Dad, in the acting department. They even look 'related', so it's good casting on the part of Coulter. But in the case of Chris Cooper, that maybe a different story. Cooper, playing Emilie de Ravin's Dad, is a cop and has all the reasons to hate Pattinson, whom he arrested during a brawl. So when his daughter enters into a relationship with the young rebel, everything becomes even more complicated.

'I don't want to be bailed out of anything....' says Tyler Roth (Pattinson) filled with teen angst in response to his Dad (Pierce Brosnan). Sounds like a cliché, which it is really.

'I don't date Sociology majors...' says de Ravin during her first encounter with Pattinson. Not yet a cliché at this point and I love de Ravin! I think she's going to give viewers the best performance in this movie. The two young stars look good together and offers Rob's fans a 'breather' from his infamous Edward Cullen characterization.

Overall, it looks like a very promising film. The trailer provided viewers with more than enough dramatic and romantic scenes to whet their appetite.

About the Movie: A drama centered on two lovers whose newfound relationship is threatened as they try to cope with their respective family tragedies.
