Pattinson and Thurman to co-star in sexy 'Bel Ami'
January 12, 2010
(PEOPLE.com) -- Uma Thurman is set to help Robert Pattinson cut his teeth as a bad-boy journalist in "Bel Ami," which begins filming next month.
"They are planning on doing the film 'Bel Ami' in London," Thurman's rep told PEOPLE, confirming the actress' involvement. Of a reported scripted kiss between the stars, the rep said, "The plot of the movie is not being released just yet."
Pattinson -- cast in May in the story based on the 19th-century novel by Guy De Maupassant -- will also be joined onscreen by Christina Ricci, reportedly as a promiscuous young housewife, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
The actor, 23, who plays a Parisian soldier-turned-journalist, has said that the lead female role in the movie "needs to be literally inspirational."
One can only guess that Thurman, 39, fills the bill -- and then some.

Robert Pattinson And Sean Penn In Talks To Star In 'Water For Elephants'
The stars of "Twilight"are certainly capitalizing on the success of the angsty vampirephenomenon. I just wonder: with such a large portion of the ensemblelanding roles in other films, what will that mean for the production ofthe still-unannounced adaptation of "Breaking Dawn,"the final chapter in Stephenie Meyer's series? Hard to say, but thatdefinitely leaves a big question mark hovering over this latest bit ofpotential casting news.The word is that Robert Pattinson may soon be sharing a bill with two-time Best Actor Oscar winner Sean Penn in an adaptation of Sara Gruen's best-selling book, "Water for Elephants," Variety reported yesterday. The news describes the two superstars as "circling" the gig -- ie they're in talks right now -- though Variety mentions that Pattinson at least will likely land the part.
The adaptation will be directed by "I Am Legend" helmer Francis Lawrence,from a script penned by Richard LaGravenese. The story follows a youngman -- presumably Pattinson -- who drops out of school after hisparents are killed to join the circus. Penn would play a disturbedanimal trainer who works for said circus while the previously confirmedReese Withspoon would play his wife.
Fox 2000's plan is to be shooting by June. Meaning anyone who hadhopes that "Breaking Dawn" would shoot over the summer for a fall 2010release had best adjust their expectations. It seems more likely that"Twilight" fans will be waiting at least a year before they see theMeyer adaptations wrap up, more if Summit goes ahead with the rumoredplan to break the final book into two films. I don't think there'sreally a chance that "Breaking Dawn" won't happen, but these various "Twilight" actor casting announcement do have me wondering at the "when."
