After three Twilights, Bella Swan is still a virgin. Which is one more virgin than you can expect to find in Robert Pattinson's forthcoming, sex-filled period piece Bel Ami, co-starring Uma Thurman.
"It's about a character called Georges Duroy, who is a broke ex-soldier in Paris in 1890. Basically, he has no drive. (Kate: Ahh now I wouldn't say that. He seems to have plenty of sex drive)
He's just jealous of everything. I quite liked the story," (Kate: Did ya now ? {giggle}) Pattinson says, describing his role as "a completely amoral, evil character." (Kate: Oooh great)
Despite the European period setting, he also believes the themes are universal.
"Kids nowadays, everyone feels entitled. You see someone who wants to do a job, but they don't want to do an entry level job. 'I want $100,000 a year as soon as I'm out of the gate.'
"That's exactly what this guy is like. But he's completely talentless. (Kate: except in one department it seems ;-)) The only thing he does is, by accident, he finds this guy he's in the army with in a brothel, and this other guy wants to impress him, so he gives (Georges) some money and invites him around.
"It ends up being like he invited the devil into his house. (Georges) seduces his wife and seduces all his wife's friends. Every single influential woman he can get, he has an affair with. And he ends up screwing over the entire society and making millions and millions of francs. It's a story about how the s---s can completely win sometimes, just by doing absolutely nothing and stabbing everybody in the back."

Robsessive
I know i wont be able to survive this one ROB will have officially finished me off...
@robsessed you are telling me girl even this pic is enough Rob has too much for a person
Rosessive
OMG yes...im telling you he can't be human he just can't be...
I'm really looking forward to seeing Rob play an unsavoury character for a change! It's going to be amazing to see those sly looks, the lies he tells, the way he manipulates everyone, steals their wives and then their daughters!
From pics we've seen, Rob looks really seriously gorgeous in the period costume.
To watch him SEDUCE women, ie talk them into sex, takes their clothes off, do the deed - well - I just might have to take my own personal paramedic to get me through this film!
Good morning & good afternoon.
This movie will destroy the female population.
I agree with Carole, I can't wait to see him play an unsavory character.
He seems to really have enjoyed it. If I survive BelAmi, which is not likely, I know
WFE will do me in.
Anyone who has read the BelAmi script, knows that (fingers crossed that it was filmed that way) the opening scene
Will have you sliding off your seat. God help us all.
Hey, CL! THIS is the one I'm waiting for. I hope to god it gets a wide release, because then he stands a chance at taking his first proper step away from Twi-dom. Oh, I'm so anxious for him to do well in this one.
Good Morning Ladies,
I'm already looking forward to see him as Georges. Bet he's amazing in seducing those women. Loved the book!
Where are you all getting the movie scripts? Not that I would want to read them. I honestly don't know why people do that. That ruins the surprises and anticipation...doesn't it?
You'd better be convincing Rob :P
I agree with Sophie, I don't want to see scripts before I see the film - what's the point?
ok can someone send me bel ami's script plss
I would SERIOUSLY liked to have been a fly on wall while Rob was shooting those scenes - bet he was really nervous!
Can you imagine him undoing corsets with those wonderful long fingers!
Is it too early for a NB session!?
I think there will be a lot of laughs and gasps during this film.
Rob has described it as dark. I think there will be a touch of Dangerous Liaisons to it in terms of the dark humour. In DL, there were moments when Glen Close did something really evil and then her facial expression afterwards was priceless and said it all! I think Rob's going to excel in this movie and scripts are going to come flooding in afterwards. It will also be the first film where he looks like a romantic (albeit wicked and amorous!) lead and that will drop a few jaws if some people only see him dressed up as as Edward or being unshaven in plaid at the airport.
This was an old interview though, I think I saw him say all this on video when he was asked about it on the RM junket.
The book of Guy de Maupassant is really great, one of my favourites.
I hope that they manage to get it right on screen. However, I don't really find George Duroy immoral! He just uses what he's got to get to the top... He is forcing nobody... Those women know what they are doing. Some have money, he's got the rest... LOL... Should be steamy any way!
I hope this is rated R and we get to see some serious skin but with these big name ladies and Rob being such a big name now......I bet they don't show as much as we'd like. If ANY of Rob's movies was going to do it, however, this one should.
Cannot wait.
If they could push up the release of this one to December it would really be good for the movie and for us.
