Robert Pattinson, now known for acclaimed productions such as Odyssée by Christopher Nolan and the biopic Primetime, had less successful beginnings in his career. In 2005, a few years before achieving fame with Twilight, Pattinson was set to appear in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory. However, his scenes, shot the previous year, were cut during editing, as he told Vanity Fair in 2009. He then obtained a promising stage role in The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre in London, playing Andi, the son of Frank and Claudia. However, shortly before the premiere, Pattinson was fired and replaced by Tom Riley. In a 2012 interview with the Irish Independent, Pattinson reflected on the experience, stating, "I didn't know what I was doing. I think I spoke too quietly. No one understood what I was saying!" He also noted that the dismissal left a lasting impact on his confidence, saying, "I remember telling a lot of nonsense afterward." This experience influenced his behavior during subsequent auditions, such as for the film Some Days in September, where he told interviewers, "I was fired from that play because I'm completely crazy!" Again, the role went to Tom Riley. A review published by The Independent praised Riley's stage performance but mistakenly attributed it to Pattinson. However, three years later, Pattinson's career took a different turn when he landed the role of Edward Cullen in Twilight, which marked the beginning of his rise to fame. The episode at the Royal Court Theatre became one of the false starts of a career that would eventually reach a much greater scale. Pattinson is currently appearing in cinemas in both Odyssée and Primetime, released on September 23, with a trailer available.
