Robert Pattinson: 'Twilight raised awareness of female viewers'

Robert Pattinson has claimed that The Twilight Saga prevented producers from neglecting female moviegoers.

The 25-year-old, who plays Edward Cullen in the supernatural franchise, said he was happy that films aimed at women are now being seen as "legitimate" ventures.

"It made people in the industry aware that women, just solely women, are a legitimate audience for movies," he told TNT Magazine. "Which is, in a strange sort of way, good for guys as well.

"I think the industry got convinced that the only people that would go to the cinema were teenage boys."

Pattinson expressed further interest in the unseen practices of movie-making by revealing that he would like to write a screenplay in the future.

"I'd like to write stuff," he said. "I'd really like to be a script doctor, just figuring out how to make a script that doesn't work, work!"

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 opens in cinemas worldwide on November 18.
