In an odd casting choice Twilight superstar Robert Pattinson is set to star in an upcoming British film called Bel Ami.
The movie which is based on a novel centres around a man (Pattinson) in 1890s Paris who makes his way to the top of high society by sleeping with the most elite and powerful women in the city.
To me it's hard to see him playing anything apart from Edward Cullen. But I gather he'll be happy to be speaking in his native British accent in the film.
This movie sounds extremely racy, so I wonder how his 13 year old fans will perceive him in this one. I bet they will be bugging their parents to death to let them in the cinema. HAHA good luck parents with that.
There were earlier reports that Nicole Kidman was set to join Pattinson in the film, probably playing a cougar after Pattinson... but her rep has now denied any involvement. Thank God cause that would be weird!
Bel Ami starts shooting in February 2010, so expect to see it in cinemas late next year.
