Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas have joined and finalized the cast of the period romance project, “Bel Ami,” that was once set to star “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattison alongside Nicole Kidman, but Uma Thurman took the role a few months ago instead.
Pattinson will play George Duroy, a sexy social climber in turn-of-the-century, 1890s Paris, who seduces his way to wealth and fame from a poor beginning, while Thurman will play the wife of one of Duroy’s friends who eventually marries Pattinson’s seductive schemer. Kristin Scott Thomas will appear as a woman who overestimates Duroy’s attachment to her. No word on what role Ricci will play.
THR says sex and celebrity feature heavily in the novel, watch out “Twilight” fans who want to see RPatz’s naked bum. Theater director Declan Donnellan is at the helm for the film that will shoot in the French capital. We hear that France loves loves loves “Twilight,” so we wish the “Bel Ami” crew luck in shooting around scores of swooning fans.
Fantastic cast! I cannot wait to see this film and I also pray for the crew. The fans can be a bit trying on one's soul
And, oh my…Pattinson's naked bum? I think everyone in the world will want to see this film, he is like chocolate.
