I have been wondering for weeks why the title of the new Robert Pattinson  / Emily da Ravin love story was called “Remember Me”.  Why am I going to have to remember you? Do you die? And is you Robert or Emily?

The trailers led you to believe it’s a flick about two NYU students who grow up and fall in love, deal with their daddy issues and then live happily ever after. But is it?

Read the surprise twist ending after the jump. SPOILER ALERT. Do not read more if you don’t want know the ending of the movie.

Here it is: In the absence of any time-marking signposts, viewers are led to believe that Remember Me is set in the present — but it’s really 2001. At movie’s end, after having a fight with de Ravin, Pattinson’s character takes an elevator to his father’s 92nd-floor office on a bright September morning, looks out the window, and watches helplessly as American Airlines Flight 11 hits the building. That’s right — Robert Pattinson dies in 9/11.

Did you see that one coming? Me neither. I had kinda of worked out on my own that he dies…but WOW. Summit has done a great job keeping the ending under wraps and not mentioning or showing the towers in any of the marketing.

I found this fan-made movie poster on line today …see below for the official movie poster.
