Robert Pattinson Talks Breaking Dawn, Bel Ami, Water for Elephants and More!

Today at the press conference for the latest Twilight installment Eclipse, Robert Pattinson revealed some information on his upcoming projects Bel Ami, Water for Elephants, Unbound Captives and even a bit on his upcoming Twilight films, the two pats of Breaking Dawn, which he REALLY hasn’t been paying much attention to.

We’ve heard a bit about Bel Ami and have even seen photos from the set. Below Pattison talks in depth what appeared to be one of his favorite characters of his upcoming films…

Robert Pattison: Bel Ami is about a character called Georges Duroy who is a broke ex soldier in Paris in 1890. He has no drive. He’s just jealous of everything. He’s completely talentless. The only thing he does is, by accident he finds this guy in the army with a brothel and this other guy want’s to impress him so he gives him money and buys him a round and it ends up being like he’s invited the Devil into his house. He seduces his wife. He seduces all his wife’s friends. Every single influential woman he can get, he has an affair with and it ends up screwing over the entire society.

All that we’ve known so far about Water for Elephants is that both Pattison and Christoph Waltz fought for the role and that both Sean Penn and Reese Witherspoon are in it — can someone say Oscar bait?. Find out more about the film and his role in it below…

Robert Pattison: Water for Elephants is a story about a guy in 1931 whose parents both die in a car crash when he’s at Cornell University studying veterinarian science. He jumps on a train out of desperation to find something else and it ends up being this circus train. He ends up falling in love with the star attraction who’s also the wife of the ring master and all the chaos that ensues after that.

As for Madeline Stowe’s upcoming project Unbound Capitves, Pattison confirms most of the stuff we already know…

Robert Pattison: Unbound Captives: It’s a Western. It’s a sort of romantic, drama, western. My character is the son of Rachel Weisz. He get’s kidnapped by Comanches when he’s four and is raised by them. And my mother spends like 15 years or something trying to find me and when she finds me and I come back I can’t speak English anymore. I don’t recognize her and she doesn’t recognize me and I have kind of massive ADD in it as well.

According to Kristen Stewart, many of the Twilight-ers have known that Breaking Dawn was going to be split into two movies for some time and everyone was doing their best to keep it under wraps. Apparently that wasn’t a problem for Pattison who appears to be just focusing on the acting side of Twilight and not too much of the rest of it…

How long have you known that Breaking Dawn was going to be two parts? Have you met with Bill Condon yet?

I found out about Breaking Dawn being two films when the press release came out (laughs). Bill Condon, I met briefly a few weeks ago kind of by accident just before the MTV Awards in a bar. He seemed great. He seemed like a really, really nice guy. I haven’t talked to him in detail about anything but Gods and Monsters, that was an amazing movie. I think it’s going to be good. I don’t even know where we’re going to shoot it yet or anything.

We’ll be back with more videos and stories from the press conference with Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, The Cullens and more!

Last year it was announced that Robert Pattinson would once again use his sunken cheeks to seduce audiences in his new film, Bel Ami. It’s a period piece that co-stars several veteran actresses including Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci. Not only will his character be surrounded by ladies but we’re pretty sure he’s going to sleep with 90% of them.

Bel Ami centers on George Duroy (Pattinson), a young journalist who rose from poverty to become one of the most successful men in Paris via the ruthless and calculating bedding of the city’s most glamorous and influential women. Thurman plays the wife of Duroy’s friend, a woman who is extremely involved and connected in the goings-on of Parisian society. She helps Duroy in his ascent, later becoming his wife.

Check out Thurman and Pattinson in heat below…

Pattinson’s character is essentially a man-whore who uses his body and charms to get what he wants. This is a long cry from his honorable alter ego Edward Cullen. How will the Twihards react?! Dun, dun, dun!!!

Bel Ami is directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod and is scheduled to hit theaters in 2011.

Uma Thurman Joins Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami

A few weeks ago we clued you in on Robert Pattinson‘s upcoming feature, Bel Ami. Rumors were circulating that the New Moon star would play a seducer of women opposite Nicole Kidman, but that turned out to be false. According to THR, Uma Thurman will take on the role of the older woman in Pattinson’s life.

Kristen Scott Thomas has also come on board to play a clingy socialite who falls for Duroy in the midst of his rise to the top. The plot for this film will feature several women throwing themselves at Pattinson, which sounds like an average day in his life. The actor’s recent movie choices prove that he wants to branch out from his vampire mold to explore more dramatic material, and this is the perfect place to start.

What do you think of Uma and Robert going head to head in a romantic drama?

Robert Pattinson to Seduce Nicole Kidman

Twilight star Robert Pattinson is set to take on Oscar winner Nicole Kidman in an erotic new role (eeewww). The young actor has signed on to co-star in the film, Bel Ami according to Screen Daily, where the duo will team up for a sexually charged story that will feature Pattinson as an ambitious young man who sleeps his way to the top.

Finally, we have another film that highlights a man as a whore! This will be a period piece, that’s based on the novel of the same name by author Guy De Maupassant, which was published in the late 1800′s. Robert Pattinson wouldn’t have been the first actor to come to mind for a role like this, but regardless of our thoughts he’s got it.

The story of Bel Ami centers on a young, up and coming journalist who meets a powerful woman named Mme Forestier, who helps him with his work. Through her, he meets several influential people and begins to establish some connections of his own, all while sleeping with various women.

Bel Ami will be directed by both Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod from a screenplay written by Rachel Bennette. Nicole Kidman is a definite sell for this film, but Pattinson leaves some doubt. Not to knock his talent, because the only thing we’ve notably seen him in is Harry Potter and Twilight. Perhaps if given a proper script with a strong premise he can work wonders in a movie.

What do you think of Kidman working opposite Pattinson?
