R-Patz Takes A Major Step Up In Hollywood

Filed under: Film Flickers > Nicole Kidman > Robert Pattinson

rrpatwenn2535270.jpg

Pretty soon, Robert Pattinson will be swamped with more serious roles than Edward Cullen and he can start making the kind of name for himself that Kristen Stewart only wishes she could.

His first step in the right direction is the new Nick Ormerod film Bel Ami, in which he will be starring alongside Nicole Kidman.

Now there is a leading lady worthy of his company!

Production starts filming in February, which puts a damper on those hoping the Twilight gang are going to rush into the fourth and final film.

Something tells us that it might be awhile until you see that one come to life!

    OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's great :D



  2. 2

    Since when is starring alongside Nicole Kidman a step in the right direction??? Old plastic face is box office poison.



  3. 3

    THIS IS FAKE!! NICOLE's REP JUST DEBUNKED IT!



  4. 4

    Stop bashing Kristen …plus,Bel Ami is an adaptation of literature.Again.Where's the big progress ?



  5. 5

    Congrats Mario… only 18 hours after the official announcement. What's your next exclusive? Michael Jackson is dead? Obama wins the presidency? Friends wraps it's final season? Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers split? JFK shot?

    You missed the most interesting bit, that the film is co-produced by 19 Entertainment and it's founder Simon Fuller. Having conquered music, TV, sport and fashion the Idol company is now moving into movies, more than just the brand tie-ins it does now… one to watch i think.

    Plain face is going to be another Jude Law !

    I am sure one day it will pay to be a day late and a dollar short…not today though…Rob working with Nicole is FALSE!!

    you're overlooking one minor detail……. HE CAN'T ACT!!!!!!! he might have some success, but longevity will not be his legacy. this new vampire movie will do good biz because of the teenies, but he has no acting chops to keep the rest of the movie going public interested.



  10. 10

    dude. whoever is posting stuff on here these days is getting so slow. not only has this already been all around the web, but nicoles reps already said it isnt true because there was a scheduling conflict with shooting schedules. good job.



  11. 11

    Re: insertsobriquet – it probably is fake. this site becoming more and more unreliable and when the sources are factual, 9/10 perez reports it days after it's been previously reported on unknown fake-me-out websites created by people in there garage. perez dear, it's time to 'step your game up'



  12. 12

    Re: pusspuss – LOL @"box office poison" aka Joan Crawford. LMAO!!!!



  13. 13

    Are you stupid or can you just not resist a chance to slag off Kristen Stewart?
    This is a false rumor! you twat.



  14. 14

    i don't see why you're so obsessed with r-patz. i don't think he's that hot honestly. and i think he and k-stew deserve each other.



  15. 15

    no more vampires…that sucks!



  16. 16

    imm soo happy for him !!



  17. 17

    Yeah…. Nicole Kidman has topped the list of the most overpaid actresses for several years running. SHE IS TERRIBLE and no one wants to see her movies anymore. Good try though….
    Also, Kristen Stewart has been acting since she was a child and I haven't seen her destroy any box office numbers yet (ahem' Nicole ahem'). So quit trying to put down Kristen Stewart every chance you get because you have a chubby for the man she gets to spend so much time with.



  18. 18

    Thats great!!! He deserves it!



  19. 19

    Nicole Kidman is not going to star with Robert Pattinson, it has already been denied by Nicole's rep. She was interested but she didn't go for it in the end.

    Also Kristen Stewart has already worked with some very big names, Jodie Foster, Sean Penn and every actor that has worked with her, has nothing but praise for her.



  20. 20

    This isn't true.
    Nicole's rep said that she won't be in Bel Ami because of conflicts or timing or somthing.
    But Nicole Kidman will NOT be starring opposite Rob Pattinson



  21. 21

    Perez I love you but please! This bitch will never be Clooney and will be nothing after Twilight! He isnt good looking. He will never be able too get over Twilight.



  22. 22

    Do you know the types of people Kristen has worked with in movies? Sean Penn, Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, and so many more. WTF is wrong with you?!

    By the way, Nicole Kidman's rep said WAY earlier today that she will not be in this movie.



  23. 23

    I saw the trailer for "How to Be" and in one word it looks: CRAP!
    I agree with half of the other posters here, he is just going to be another Jude Law after Twilight. Just doing arthouse B rate flicks.
    I hope he does prove me wrong though, because I think he is HOT!



  24. 24

    um okay, Ill say it…his acting was pure shit in Twilight



  25. 25

    actually its been confirmed that Nicole Kidman will NOT be in that movie so suck it

    oh a btw Kstew has been in movies with Robert De Nero Jodie Foster Sean Penn Bruce Willis and the list continues from there so I think she has worked with bigger names than him



  26. 26

    Nicole Kidman is not doing that movie. It is a rumor.



  27. 27

    I don't want them to "rush" into making the films. They'll be better the more time they spend on them. Also Perez, how is Nicole Kidman "worthy" of him? She's like 50!! And also, Kristen's been in more recognizable films than him such as; The Messengers, zathura, Jumper, Into the Wild, and a dozen others. I've only ever seen him as a minor role in Harry Potter. Seriously, I love him and all but quit hating on K-Stew you jealous ass!



  28. 28

    I LOVE YOUR HATRED TO K-STEW! She's such an ungrateful talentless bitch!!



  29. 29

    Re: bcuz I said so! – Hahahaha! Noooo wiiiiire hannngers!!

  30. harle says – reply to this

    Buuuut have you seen kidman as of late she can barely move her face to chew- so I think on the acting chops they might be equal. He is so painfully bad at acting it was excruciating to watch the first one. PEOPLE THE TWILIGHT MOVIES AND BOOKS SUCK-STOP WATCHING TRASH!



  31. 31

    I really hope Rob will get roles where he can use his acting skills. I love him, but he really needs to up his game.
    In the Twilight movies, he is so devoid of emotion .. I just know he can do better.



  32. 32

    Too bad no one is going to see it!

    Who watches Nicole Kidman movies in theaters?

    Let it go straight to DVD.



  33. 33

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
    another excuse to shove this ugly dirty twink in my face
    my gawd, someone plz help mario meet this hideous thing so i can stop bleaching my eyeballs



  34. 34

    -
    nope, once those gay little vampire movies quickly go away so will he and his heave inducing body odor
    -



  35. 35

    Wait R Patz and Nicold Kidman can't act their way out of a paper bag, this is gonna be a real sucky movie.



  36. 36

    WHAT in the world does anybody see in this guy? He's pasty, has a big nose, long chin, vacant eyes and a chronically vapid expression. Add that to the fact that he looks dirty and smelly constantly, and I'm just astounded that anyone finds him remotely appealing. Except for you, Perv. You've got the same look going on, so I guess I can see the attraction. Like attracts like. Dude is downright homely. Period.



  37. 37

    If this is Bel Ami as in Mauppassant's Bel Ami they would be extremely well cast as a young womanizer and an older lover. I would love to see RPat at Bel Ami. It is an amazing book!



  38. 38

    good for him!….he definatly deserves a role seperate from kristens bad acting and with better actresses. thats just GREAT! lol =]



  39. 39

    Im a fan of twilight but honestly this guy can't act, hell when ever he tries to show he's upset or hurting he look's constipated… atleast Kristen can really act, preze you need to stop raging on those who can do something you can't it aint attractive, but then again your butt ugly anyway so it won't change much… pppfff grow up…



  40. 40

    I'M SO HAPPY FOR HIM! HE'S A GOOD ACTOR I LOVE HIM AND IT DOESN'T HURT THAT HE'S A SEXY MAN EITHER.



  41. 41

    … why?
    I see no evidence of Pattinsons ability to act. did people not watch twilight and his one constipated expression?
    I don't see how girls find this guy attractive either. when he's being interviewed there is literally no personality. none. it's like watching paint dry and a train crash combined.



  42. 42

    Isnt Bel Ami a gay porn company? HA!!
    cant stand this guy!!



  43. 43

    NICOLE KIDMAN'S A SHIT AUSSIE ACTRESS! CATE BLANCHETT'S WAY BETTER!!!



  44. 44

    Clooney? C-L-O-O-N-E-Y ????

    Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…..taking a breath……ha ha ha ha ha….



  45. 45

    Perez!!, I love youuuuu!!!!!!!!!, can´t agree more!!!!, this is great news, finally he's going to be without always open mouth Kristen stewart, she sucks so much acting I really can't look at her without feeling ashamed!!!!.
    now he will be available to be consider as a great actor alongside great actreses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  46. 46

    But Nicole has already said she won't play in Bel Ami!!
    It's an error from the medias.



  47. 47

    Even though he won't be doing the film with Nicole, he has many roles coming up with highly skilled and talented actors. I wonder who will star in Bel Ami with him? I know Rob is in Unbound Captives with the gorgeous Wolverine Man - Hugh Jackman. I cannot wait to see how his career unfolds, the characters he plays; the years ahead of him will only hone his many talents. So exciting ;)



  48. 48

    i love him.



  49. 49

    Omg! I can't wait!



  50. 50

    perez, you make me so fucking pissed off when you make fun of kristen stewart. its so god damn annoying . clearly she can act , and shes got a really cool personality which is mainly why i like her . so shut the fuck up .. im starting to hate this site . how the hell do you like miley cyrus , but not ks ? you must be on fucking drugs , cause your messed up .



  51. 51

    I know already that I'm going to get soo sick and tired of this guy when he's in every fucking movie…



  52. 52

    Wow.



  53. 53

    OK I love him but I really don't care…lol



  54. 54

    Love Rob hate KS-Rob can act and just cause Ks lucked out and played some roles does not mean the chic can act! she butchered the role of Bella. How hard is it to pretend to "LOOK" in love? anywho-RObs da shit and those that dont think so-do your homework before you judge someone. This guy is sexy and hysterical. But whatever floats your boat right?? Now go join Tay tays fan club shoo shoo..:)
