"Pattinson is about to turn 31. Still plenty of time for him to become one of the great leading men of his generation. He's already got the global fame and now he's earning his street cred as an actor. Give him a few years, till his mid thirties (when most actors start to come into their strongest leading man roles) and if he wants it, then he can have it. Indie darlings who are in fact, movie stars (Depp and DiCaprio come to mind), eventually get into the studio game and I suspect, at some point, Pattinson will too. And not abandon the indies altogether, but rather, mix it up. He's a character actor cloaked in the physical visage of a classic movie star which should pretty much insure that not only will he work, but that he'll remain a relevant film star for the rest of his life."
