From Gossip Cop:
Usually it’s role rumors about Robert Pattinson that draw big attention, but today the buzz is all about a possible future co-star.
An avalanche of outlets picked up a Production Weekly item that reported Christina Ricci will join Pattinson in the upcoming “Bel Ami.” The speculation has Ricci playing a character named Clotilde in the tale of Georges Duroy (Pattinson) and his corrupt rise to power in Paris.
A lot of people asked Gossip Cop whether the casting rumor was true.
We can confirm that it is.
A rep for Ricci tells Gossip Cop the deal was recently signed.

Thanks to everyone that wished me good luck on my interview :) It went well, I have another interview in a month!
Hugs,
Gozde :)
Hei Gozde,
I don't know what interview you did good but i'm sure, knowing what you write, post and comment(this blog is amazing), you're a nice and intelligent person... And i'm sure you're going to rock in this another interview.Good Luck!!!
Gozde, that's awesome! Good luck on the next one, we're all pulling for ya. :)
yay for CR in Bel Ami, I think she'll be great.
Really love Christina Ricci. Hate the manwhore rumors though. To me it makes him look less of a serious actor. Wish the tabs would focus on his work.
Am nearly finished the book God he's such a shit, it must be a dream role for an actor to play someone like him
OK I really have to read the book. Will make it easier picturing Rob....
YAY Goz!!
Thank you Caroline :)) I appreciate the things you said ;))
RPLover, thank you :)) Hugs!
Goz!!! That's good news about the interview!!!
OMG! Christina Ricci? LOVING IT!!!
And yeah...you know the stories are going to be off the hook. Leaks from the movie set about hot love scenes...
But that's why we love our Rob! And this movie is gonna be HAWT!!!
Gözde
@vertically challenged...
that just means Rob can throw you both around in bed without any problem (or groin injuries!)
Woo Hooo
Ms. Ricci is one lucky lass!
Yes, I am jealous!
I agree that whoever made this blog is a very intelligent and cool person, you can see that from posts, comments and tags.
I'm kinda new here, just started to post comments, but I've been reading this blog for, I can say, a long time. :) And you made me laugh, inspired me a lot, scream (when you sent the photos from New Moon set in Montepulciano ;)), you've made my boring days shorter, you even made me cry happy tears haha. So thank you! I wish you all well and looking forward to more fun posts and comments! :D
Awwww :) Thank you Fae! Wow *blush* Thank you :))
Suz, thanks for the mental image :))
Waves at Haystack and Jules :)
I'm off to bed. It's been a LONG day:))
Hugs!
Gozde
Bel Ami is one of my all-time favourite books, I read the script and I think is fantastic, really fantastic!
I'm sooo excited about this new Rob's project...
I don't know what interview you did good me too Godze, but... fingers crossed for you girl!
Good Luck!!!!!
XOXO
Caterina ;)
You're welcome Gozde, I'm just saying the facts! :)
For anyone thinking all this rolling in the hay with the ladies might make TomStu jealous:

ps: Gozde is pretty cool, isn't she? Still haven't figured out why she's not the one gearing up to do the horizontal mambo with our guy!@!
goz, you're short? how tall r u? im vertically challenged as well
I guess there are a lot of us vertically challenged girls! Me as well :)
Gozde,
I'm late but congrats on the interview!! One down one to go!!
Yea, I'm vertically challenged as well...just a hair under 5'...I think I shrunk...
This is going to be one steamy movie!
And yes Georges is a shit...but you can't help but love him, especially with Rob in the role...
Read somewhere that Ricci was a terror on set?! That she has all those weight issues and people couldn't talk of food around her, personally I don't particularly enjoy her(only seen her in a couple of movies Penelope being one of them which I've enjoyed but only for James McAvoy!) I hope Rob doesn't end up being so miserable on the set for any of these actresses diva behavior! We've seen how miserable he was on RM set and EDR is such a sweet girl!! Hope all is well in BA land!
Hi :)
Please help me vote for Rob here,
http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/blogs/2010/01/which-teen-idol-has-the-most-dedicated-superfans/
He is currently loosing to the Jonas Brothers!!!
Rob is performing in "Bel Ami" as character Georges Duroy (Du Roy de Cantel, Baron du Roy de Cantel, Georges du Roy, nickname Bel Ami)

MoTU update alert!
yes, ricci has been a handful on sets in the past, but hopefully that's changed. She's very sassy though, she'll be a pistol on the set.
Uma is a goddess, one of the most gorgeous women in the world, and very witty and smart. I can imagine Robert and her getting along peachy.
And Kristen Scott Thomas in my opinion is one of the best actresses around, Robert is so lucky to work with her!
Really excited about Bel Ami!
She's hot. Is she single? Maybe Rob and her end hooking up.
Can't wait for Bel Ami, but first can't wait for Remember me (one at a time, one at a time... :))
I'm off to bed now... going with Edward in my happy place :)))
Sweet dreams!
Goz, congrats on the interview, good luck on the next one. Don't think of yourself as vertically challenged, as someone who is only 5' 2", I know there's nothing wrong with me, it's everybody else who's too tall.
I still think of Christina Ricci as Wednesday Adams, I don't know how that's going to work out when I see the movie LOL.
Gozde not know your job interview ... Very happy that everything went well ... And I'm sure will be better the next interview you have much potential
Christina Ricci is a great actress, this film will be excellent
Christina is a hot mess in real life, but I really like her onscreen. Loved her in the opposite of sex, that's such a great movie!
Uma's the one though. Uma is all that is right in the world. Amen.
please, please script Remember Me...
mjs.suarez@gmail.com
NOOOOOOOO - she can't be Clotilde!!!!
Wrong choice IMO.
Uma should be Clotilde - Ricci should be Rachel
This is probably the only movie of Robert's, from the ones I know about, that I am not looking forward to.
I am looking forward to Remember Me and Unbound Captives.
I read the book, and I didn't like it and thought that it had no purpose or any likable characters, and the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. The lead character doesn't change, he remains despicable all throughout without any remorse on his part, repentance or comeuppance. So it's just an off-putting aimless story.
I can only hope that the script is much better then the book, or else this is one movie that I am not looking forward to, even though I love Rob.
I'm such a peeping Tom... always on this web site getting the latest Rob info. Decided I'd join and post for the first time. So...Hey everyone! And yes... I'm Robsessed!!!!!
welcome carpediem
Welcome Carpediem.... being Robsessed out of the closet is infinitely better than hiding there alone!
Marna: watch Ricci in The Man Who Cried with J Depp and you'll never see her as Wednesday Adams again ;)
DM: all a matter of taste I guess. I love a good character study, even (especially) of a scoundrel. I find this one of de Maupassant's most compelling novels and if done right it should be gut-wrenching on screen... not to mention very, very sexy!
@RPG - ITA about Duroy being a shit, but yet you can't help but love him in certain parts! And I'm re-reading it now and totally picturing our boy...it's been a great read!!! ;)
And by the by...the new banner...
________flatline__________
Holyshitthatisallkindsoftrailorparksexyrightthere!!!!
That's all...;)

Don't mean to hijack this thread, tried to email Gozde or the other ladies but there was no email link in the profile...these are new pics of Rob & gang...was posted on IMDB...hope it's not intrusive to post them here.
LMAO @ Leslie...trailer park sexy.
Too funny!
Welcome Carpediem!
ITA, you can't help but have feelings for Georges...and the women are just as sleazy!!' it's a great role for Rob to stretch his wings...
I haven't seen that many movies with CR, but the ones I've seen she was great in... so I'm excited to see him with all these women...
And jealous???? Oh hell yea!!
@sleeper: Is the link you posted to the script that people have said was leaked? Anyway, I'll assume so and will check it out. Thanks.
Welcome carpediem!
I like Christina ! :)
@ADM - ;) The redneck comes out of me every once in a while!!
evening, all!
Welcome, carpediem. :)
and LMAO @ Leslie-well said, NB!
This is a review of a 1976 version of Bel Ami...............and we thought Rob was overexposed now???????? Whew!!!
*************************************
"Bel Ami" is refreshing and funny, and is a real treat for fans of 70's adult (XXX) cinema. There is an actual plot, the actors and actresses are both very attractive and perform just as well in the dialog-ridden scenes fully clothed as they do naked in their sex scenes, which are numerous. The film also has the almost non-stop euphoria of beautiful 70's Euromusic on the soundtrack. This is a film that adults can view and not feel ashamed or embarrassed. Harry Reems of course is terrific and quite comical as the bumbling hero of the piece, bumping his head on an over-sized phallic sculpture in a so-called art studio, rolling down a grassy hill with the latest female to jump his bones, and trying to sneak a peak at the almost unbelievably beautiful Christa Linder as she showers. Another treat for genre fans is the presence of Jacqueline Laurent, best known for her harrowing roles in the Jess Franco films "Lorna the Exorcist" and "Sinner". Here she looks beautiful, kicks back, and anxiously samples the physical charms of Mr. Reems, although the scenes between Mr. Reems and Ms. Laurent appear to be either soft core or director Ahlberg avoided showing penetration. And speaking of director Ahlberg, whose fine "I, A Woman" remains a classic, this film proves that ten years after "I, A Woman" he was able to move into more explicit fare and still retain the touch of class and dignity that many erotic filmmakers either lose or never have at all.
femroc, I...uh...
"penetration"?!? I'm just speechless right now...
Thanks, RPG! Just got in; ooo, MoTU update, yum!
CR sounds like a good choice; she seems very selective in her roles.
; ) Dinner with Hubs; gotta love "date night" Friday nights.
@femroc, ? So the first BA movie was actually a softcore porn flick? Really? (Gwen really needs to read Bel Ami asap.)
Got side-tracked on the 70's Euromusic line...
I seriously wonder how they're going to film some of these scenes... I mean obviously, it's not going to be x rated...but are we gonna see boobs? If so, we need to see ass.. Fair turn around....
Shit that chick in the movie with Billy Burke & Greg Kinear did full on frontal nudity and it was only rated R... Totally saw Billys fine ass... Can't remember the name, great movie...
So we must see Robs behind,.. Period!
Feast of love! That's the movie!
Feast of LOVE RPG
jinx
Mel did naked butt in one (or more) of the Lethal Weapon flicks.
Gwen votes yes for Naked Rob; partial or full frontal. Vote yes here!
I vote hell yes to whatever he'd be willing to show us! I don't care if it's the backs of his knees or his, uh, "sparklier" parts...
it's all good with me-bring it! ;))
Hell, I'm just thrilled that Rob's going to work with these 3 absolutely awesome actresses! Maybe he'll get some acting pointers from them. I'm looking forward to this more than RM or Eclipse. I'm losing interest in Twilight. Excited for Rob's other projects.
and RPG, I agree with you on the fair turn around comment. somehow it's much less offensive to see almost every part of an actress's anatomy-and I mean I have seen A LOT in some rated R movies-but heaven forbid we get a peek at some junk! double standards...
Well, I vote YES to any Rob nudity but do you think he'd do behind or frontal? He seems kind of shy about it. Natalie Portman won't do nudity.
Rpl,
I know!!!! Viggo went full on balls swinging in a movie... But that was nekked fighting.... There's good nekked & bad nekked....
Teri,
total jinx!
I'll be happy with chest, butt, feet and maybe a little V...full Monty I'd freak out...
LMFAO, "good nekked and bad nekked"! you're not kiddin'-sooooo true! ;))
yep, full on and we'd all need to be mopped up off the floor.
@DeDe, thanks for the other pictures, I knew there had to be more LOL. Sam's girlfriend is absolutely gorgeous!
Whoops, I meant Sam's SISTER is gorgoeus, not his girlfriend. Arrgghh, the hand types without listening to what the brain says!
I'm with all my NB's about the nekkidness!!! Although I don't know if I could handle it (that's what she said) if there was a full frontal...let's face it. I freakin' flatline when there is JawPorn and he's usually full clothed...do ya'll really think I'm gonna make it if there are "sparkly" bits showing?!??!?!?!
@Gwen: No, the first, second, third or later Bel Ami movies were not porno flicks, although the one femroc found is...lol
@Sleeper: version I've seen is bit different to the one from yr link. Be interesting to see the final draft...
Thanks AP!
And ITA, DM. Not sure BA is "my thing" either. Don't particularly care for aimless/pointless stories or especially glorifying despicable characters. Probably why I've not read the book (yet). Doesn't sound at all cheery.
So guy is a manwhore, gets ahead in life because of it, doesn't ever change nor care about himself or others?
Someone give me a better synopsis or at least a reason why I should read the book. Movie has Rob; good enough for Gwen to see it. ; )
Gwen,
I never would have read the book or script if not for Rob... I am biased simply because of Rob!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074196/
Here is the link where I found that review from an older version of Bel Ami - I'd like to see this version of the movie - wonder where you could find it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039735/usercomments
Here's a link to yet ANOTHER version of Bel Ami that was filmed in 1947 and Angela Lansbury was Clotilde.
So this movie has been done several times.
Yes Gwen basically it is an aimless off-puting story. So Bel Ami in the end marries Suzanna but still plans to cheat on her although he sometimes acts as if he loves her (that's literally how the story ends).
Now if the author had had him fall truly for the innocent Suzanna and work honestly to win her and woo her, the story would have been MUCH better (at least one could say that the character started out unlikable but grew and developed throughout the story and learned from his mistakes).
He basically still plans to sleep around, and doesn't lose any of what he got. Basically he doesn't suffer any consequences for his behavior. The story's ending is very abrupt and unsatisfying.
And guys about the sex scenes, the book I read didn't have any, so I'm guessing they're going to add those to the movie version, as you guys are saying?
Anyways like I said, as it stands this movie is just not for me...I'll probably end up watching it anyways because of Robert lol, but dvd rental NOT in theaters.
please please please dont put a funny moustache on Rob in this movie
Re: your interview, Goz. YOU ROCK, GIRL! :D
@tgill: "he's such a shit"
I know!!! I totally loathe Georges! Can't wait to see Rob in that role! :D
I am going to read the Bel Ami script this weekend, thank you Dina. I am undecided on full frontal due to the good/bad naked thing. Not sure if I could cope with ball swinging lunging even in my happy place.
Gwen did you get the email?
OH MY GOD ! Can't wait !!
@Kate, got the script, thank you!!!
@Gwen - good let me know what you think ....
Happy reading
Wait for it he'll be sleeping with her next. Who wants to bet on it? There'll be some daft story line about how he's dumped Kristen for Christina or Someone's jealous etc.
@Kate, the BA script is actually quite incredible---cannot wait to see Rob do this! Kind of amazing when you can picture him in this role so easily---and CR seems like perfect casting as well.
This die-hard spoiler queen thanks you, Kate! ; )
From what I recall, BelAmi did not have anythng overt--it would have them entering a room and exiting an hour and half later, etc., leaving it to the imagination what was going on. The idea, at least to me, was not the actual sex, but rather the conniving at any lengths (no pun intended although it did just occur to me and i am not erasing it--am I bad?)to survive, then to get ahead, to not end up, as the book began, with a few coins and wondering how to survive to the next paycheck.
I don't know if it is because I read them at the same time, or if it is because I was incredibly sheltered and naive, but I was floored with the contrast between the character of Bel-amie and the writer in Hamsun's 'Hunger.' They were both hungry, both wanting to not be hungry, to go beyond having but a few coins, yet they chose different ways to get out of it. It is this depth of character (or lack thereof) that I would love to see how Rob will portray.
I actually cannot picture Thurman and Thomas for parts, perhaps because I read it at a young age. I CAN picture Ricci as Clo. Except for the fact that Rob is talented, I cannot even picture himself as Georges; it may be because I had thought Georges was so old when I read it at age 13 or so. I am sur eso much went over my head; i had thought he was spending inappropriate time with women, with no idea of sex; in my world it is not proper for a man and woman not married to each other to be in the same room alone together,so I just figured he was being bad/manipulative to that extent, and to tell so many women he loved them and then did not treat them all very well seemed like using them, and that was all bad enough to me in those days. I may go back and read it over.
Maybe they can get Kristen to play Suzanne. :-D
(Was that wicked of me?)
@Gwen
Glad I could be of service, what did you think of RM? (well in not give away specific details way of course)
Christina is georgous!
@Kate, I liked it! I think Rob can rock the part in Bel Ami! ; )
There's something in the script I didn't quite get, but I'll save that question for a future Bel Ami spoiler thread...
@Dina & @Gwen426
Wow, have just finished script, and have ordered book of Amazon.
Think you might be right, if handled well he shud rock - just so long as it doesn't cover over as hoe baggish!!
Wot a man hoe.
@Kate, I ordered the book from Amazon yesterday too! Great minds...
Have to compare the script to book now! Really think Rob can do the script justice. Can't wait to discuss Bel Ami on a spoiler thread!!! (Hint!) ; )
Can someone please send me the BelAmi script? many thanks.
solas18@aol.com
On it, Solas! Give a few minutes and check your email!
Hugs! ; ) It's good!
Can someone please send me the Bel Ami script? Thanks in advance.
adelatorre650@gmail.com
@Gwen

Once get book can do some serious comparison work!!
Think I might be getting a little excited already lol
@Kate, ITA!!! ; ) We need another Bel Ami spoiler thread!
