Robert Pattinson Talks About His Love Scenes With Uma Thurman

He’s one of the steamiest young men in Hollywood, but Robert Pattinson says his new love scenes with Uma Thurman are anything but arousing.
The “Twilight” stud stars opposite the “Pulp Fiction” babe in “Bel Ami” and recently revealed that he’s found their sex scenes “kind of disturbing.”
Pattinson explained, “Her character Madeleine kind of uses sex as a sort of weapon and my character thinks like an animal. There are a lot of sex scenes in this film, so I’m asking quite a lot of myself, and with lots of different people as well.”

Empire talks Bel ami and RPattz (there are those screams again)

Robert Pattinson. Pause, wait for the screams to die down. Yes, R-Pattz (or whatever the heck he's called these days) is continuing his non-Twilight career, starring in romantic comedy / drama Bel Ami. And now the likes of Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci are joining the cast.
Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod are co-directing the film, which is adapted from Guy de Maupassant's story.
Pattinson (there are those screams again) is a lad in 1890s Paris who sleeps his way to wealth and celebrity as he climbs the social ladder from humble beginnings.
Though we're sure Pattinson will be the main draw for a lot of people, Holly Grainger, Philip Glenister and Colm Meaney are also in the cast. Which means - ultra-nerd alert - that two versions of Life On Mars' Gene Hunt will now be in one film (Meaney played him in in the pilot for the US version, before he was unfairly replaced by Harvey Keitel).
But back to Bel Ami: it has just kicked off shooting this week and will be followed around London and Budapest by a gaggle of screaming Team Edward types.

Casting Complete on BEL AMI

Over the last few months, pre-production on Robert Pattinson's Bel Ami has been charging forward as we've covered the casting of Christina Ricci and Uma Thurman / Kristin Scott Thomas. Now that the casting of the major players has been completed, we've been told principal photography on Bel Ami is scheduled to begin February 7 and they'll be filming in London and Budapest. Here's the synopsis:

Bel Ami is the story of Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson), who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden Garretsen to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute's embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where power and celebrity sex is an obsession.

Based on the synopsis, I think Pattinson's female fanbase is going to be very happy watching this movie. Hit the jump for more:


The other bit of news we were informed of each actor is exactly who is playing in the film and some more casting info. Here's what we were sent:

The screenplay is written by Rachel Bennette from the novel by Guy de Maupassant, and the film is directed by the influential and innovative Cheek By Jowl directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod.
