Before he became a household name with the "Twilight Saga" movies, international heartthrob Robert Pattinson played a bumbling nerd in a made-for-TV movie that aired in Britain in 2007. And now, thanks to Pattinson's popularity, the film, "The Bad Mother's Handbook," is being released on DVD for the first time.
People.com has a first look at the trailer for the dramedy, out August 24. In the movie, Pattinson sports a very different look than his well-gelled vampire trademark. Instead, he looks dorky, playing the bespectacled, floppy-haired, hapless suitor to a girl in his class who wants nothing to do with him -- until she finds out she's pregnant. The actress Catherine Tate, a big star in the UK for her role in "Dr. Who," plays the teenage girl's control-freak mother. The movie is based on the bestselling novel of the same name.
Pattinson isn't the first "Twilight" star to see one of his past roles unearthed in order to capitalize on his newfound fame: his costar Kristen Stewart's 2008 indie film "The Yellow Hankerchief" got a similar marketing push after the "Twilight" phenomenon increased demand for all things related to the actress.
In other Robert Pattinson news this week, TMZ compared a shot of the actor on set filming another role to Jason Priestley in the '90s TV show "90210," and a distressingly lifelike sculpture of Pattinson's head sold for $1,399 on eBay.
