Daniel Radcliffe mentions Rob in a new interview!

 Does it seem weird that you said if you attach yourself to the project that it would get the green light?

This project was already far enough along and had enough people behind it, including the Hammer name to be getting it going, I was just the final thing that was needed.

You’re being modest…

I promise it’s not false modesty though. There are very, very few actors whose name you know… even people like me and Rob Pattinson, who are at the moment big names and bankable – whatever that means – there are very few actors whose saying yes to something would mean a green light for that film. I think probably George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp, are the only three that have that kind of pull, and that comes from how they’ve had very long careers and are universally respected as actors and as professionals. So there’s a long way to go before we’re at that stage.
