As Robert Pattinson has learned, you either die an Edward, or you live long enough to see yourself become the Jacob.

While discussing his character Antinous in The Odyssey, the actor compared the role in the Christopher Nolan-helmed movie to Taylor Lautner’s Jacob in the Twilight movie franchise, nearly 15 years after Pattinson last played Edward Cullen.

“I think they will be rooting for him,” he told MTV UK. “I keep comparing it—it’s kind of like Jacob in Twilight,”

Pattinson added, “What The Odyssey is about — Penelope just can’t make her mind up between the two guys and I’m just trying to like help her make a decision. It’s like, ‘It’s fine. He’s dead, get over it.’”

An adaptation of one of the first stories in human history, The Odyssey follows Odysseus (Matt Damon) through the incredible trials and mythical encounters he faces on his decade-long journey home to wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) after the Trojan War.

After participating in a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Bottle Rock on Monday, Wes Anderson found himself trapped in an elevator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

The director was trapped in the elevator for roughly 30 minutes, alongside Luke Wilson producer James L. Brooks, before the Los Angeles Fire Department came to their aid.

Save Your Cinema claimed the elevator was “a secret passageway/elevator so celebrities can enter and exit without” at the Academy Museum, though The Hollywood Reporter was not able to confirm if Anderson had taken an alternative entrance not made available to the public.

Carolyn Dunn, a production specialist for 20th Century Fox, did, however, share a video of Anderson and Brooks exiting the elevator on Instagram. In the clip, Anderson can be heard asking the LAFD what went wrong, to which one official responded, “Probably had too much weight in there.”

“Okay, thank you very much,” Anderson replied.

THR has reached out to the Academy Museum and the LAFD for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.

Bottle Rocket marked the Oscar winner’s feature directorial debut. It was released in 1996, and starred Luke and Owen Wilson, with the latter actor also being present for Monday night’s event; Ned Dowdand Shea Fowler also starred. Cynthia Hargrave and Polly Platt served as producers, while Anderson and Owen penned the script.

Anderon’s most recent feature, The Phoenician Scheme, starred Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Wright, Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson, and came out in 2025.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield confirmed Tuesday that he is taking steps to slow Paramount Skydance’s Warner Bros. Discovery merger by seeking a court order requiring the company to turn over records tied to the state’s lobbying investigation and delaying the deal’s closing for 60 days.

“We’re not going to let Paramount Skydance play hide the ball so they can rush through their massive merger,” Rayfield said in a statement to media Tuesday evening. “Oregonians have a real stake in this deal – in our film industry, in our economy, in the choices they’ll have as consumers. Paramount had every opportunity to hand over records and answer a few basic questions. Instead, it is trying to run out the clock and evade scrutiny. We’re asking the court to make sure Oregonians get the answers they’re owed before this deal closes, not after.”

Per Rayfield’s office, Paramount has allegedly dodged and delayed their records request while trying to close its $110 billion deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. A representative for Paramount did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Though, a spokesperson did tell Reuters that the information in-question “has nothing to do with whether this transaction ​complies with Oregon’s antitrust laws and is not a legitimate basis to delay a plainly lawful, pro-competitive transaction.”

They explained that the ODOJ has been “investigating the proposed merger since it was announced in February,” noting that this work included a June records request, in which they asked for “documents about the company’s lobbying of federal officials in support of the deal, its role in a U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) statement approving the merger and an internal effort the company calls ‘Project Warrior.’”

After claiming that Paramount had not complied with their request, the ODOJ stated that the company allegedly dragged its feet in communicating with them and “ultimately sent objections on the day its documents were due.”

“Paramount has told Oregon it does not intend to close the deal before July 16 but has not agreed to hold off any longer while the state’s investigation continues,” the ODOJ further noted in its update. “The state’s request asks the court to require Paramount to fully comply within three days of an order, and to bar the company from closing its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery for 60 days from the date it substantially complies.”

The ODOJ confirmed that they will present the motion in person at in Multnomah County Court on Wednesday afternoon.
