Robert Pattinson OUT of "Dune", Still doing "Bel Ami"

Thanks to Gossip Cop for clearing up the rumors in a world where people cash on lying about everything.



From Gossip Cop:

There has been enormous speculation over the past two days about which films Robert Pattinson will do and which he will not.

In a series of threads on IMDB, for example, fans wondered whether it was true that Pattinson had been recast or dropped out of the film “Bel Ami,” in which he plays an immoral man named George Duroy, based on the short story by Guy de Maupassant. While many thought that he was recast/bowed out because of scheduling issues, Gossip Cop can confirm that Pattinson is still slated to make that movie.

But what about Pattinson re-making “Dune,” a rumor which set Twitter atwitter? While it’s true that Peter Berg remains intent on doing a re-make of the 1984 film that starred Kyle MacLachlan, Robert Pattinson will NOT be in the film, a source close to the actor tells Gossip Cop.

So it’s one in and one out for Pattinson.

Bel Ami is a novel written by French Author Guy de Maupassant in 1885. It The story chronicles Georges Duroy's corrupt rise to power from a poor ex-NCO to one of the most successful men in Paris, most of which he achieves by manipulating a series of powerful, intelligent, and wealthy mistresses.(Read more HERE)

Bel-Ami was made into films and mini series before. You can check Guy de Maupassant imdb page for more info.

You can order the book Bel Ami by Maupassant HERE for US and HERE for UK

rpattzgirl ~ Amen Sista!!! :P

Phew! Wasn't feeling Rob in 'Dune'. But not sure about Bel Ami either. I want to see Rob in a proper Brit film, with accent intact. I think the dark, dry Brit humor/style fit him best.

He must be flooded with offers now and probably spend most of his free time reading scripts in his hotel/trailer.

Hot Damn!! Good!

Oh thank god dune is a no go. Dune is great, but it wasn't meant to be adapted to film if you ask me. The adaptions so far have been horrible, so it has a bad track record already.

Bel Ami is exactly what he needs to play after portraying the most virtuous and virginal vampire in all of history. Amoral, pervy, scheming, and ruthless is exactly what Pattinson needs to graduate from twilight with!

can someone tell me what bel ami is about? drama or romance or something else?

skorpia said...

yay! the one I wanted him in is still on! Bel Ami is gonna be crazy sexy...He's gonna melt the film

LK said...

Dune was an awful film with Sting,if i remember correctly.I'm glad that Robbie isn't inolved with this crap.Unfortunately,his name sells a lot and some use it for advertisment.And twitter sucks!IMO!

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

crovamp,
It's a drama, about a down & out guy who sleeps his way through Paris to be successful-and he has no problems sleeping with anyone's wives, or hookers...whatever it takes...

OH thank God Bel Amie is still on...phew. Won't be a blockbuster but will hopefully garner him such much needed respect from other quarters.

Read Bel Ami My darling. Not too long, by MAupassant. It's a good novel.

Mars said...

*Whew!* If he'd backed out of Bel Ami, I'm sure we'd all be uber-upset.

rpattz-turn-me-on said...

iam glad he is doing Bel Ami,iam going to enjoy this one.

jmm4832 said...

Sweet Jesus, Rob in naked bedroom scenes!

Gozde said...

Monika: does this thread look like a spread bullshit unfounded twitter crap thread?

Seriously! Stop posting rumors started by idiots on twitter. If you have a legitimate source for a story, contact me at the "contact us" box.

If the only thing you want to talk about is Robsten/Nonsten/Whateversen there are blogs that cater to that. Go there!

Sorry for the outburst, I'm just sick of it.

Gozde said...

I added some more info about Bel Ami to the post :)

Anonymous said...

You go Gozde! Love the outburst!!! :))

Babs said...

I can't wait to see him in Bel Ami!! He'll look gorgeous in those old clothes playing a selfish naughty sexy smart ass. Rob-Georges is gonna be the death of me...

Anonymous said...

I think Bel Ami is the perfect movie for him. So far he's played the romantic lead in most of his films. This movie will go against that grain and show us some acting chops! Yay Bel Ami!!!!

thirtysomething said...

way to go goz!!!!!!!

yay for bel ami :) i couldn't care less about dune.

Emily said...

Thank you for all the Bel-Ami info. I wasn't too familiar with the story. Sounds perfect for Rob. I'm sorry, did someone say naked Rob? Yes please.

Jewels64 said...

Oh Thank God!!!

I was going to have to hunt RPattz down if he backed out of Bel Ami!!! I cannot wait to see him being immoral....YUM!!!

Dune...meh....

Oh and way to go Goz! That's why Robsessed is number one baby! You try to keep it REAL!!!

Rose said...

GAH. I fucking missed the comment.
I hate that when that happens.
That's what I get for not commenting in thousands of years.
Serves me right.

Emily said...

Oh my gosh, it's happening again. TS - I am NOT stalking you, I swear. We must be on the same internet schedule today. :)

Suz said...

GO GOZ!!!!

I freaking LOVE when you go... "off"

Makes a momma proud!

Monika, take your noise elsewhere.

(Please!)

Ana73 said...

so glad that he is still doing Bel Ami :))

as for the other movie "dune" i really didn't know much about it.

Goz - love how you keep everything in check.

Rose said...

I love Goz... just sayin'

Anna said...

Bel Ami!

Bel Ami!

Bel Ami!

Yippee!! Naked Rob coming our way!!!

Ana73 said...

Linda rose - i finished HPA last night and waiting for the next update, loved it - did you finish yet? I saw a few days ago that you commented on Vampire Diaries, i really like it - for those that hate it - dont kill me. It is so different than twilight, i dont see any similarities except that it is high school kids. At first i was skeptical but i gave a chance and it sparked my interest.

thirtysomething said...

hahaha emily! we must :)

tons of ♥ for goz!

RPLover said...

sounds like a good deal to me! naked Rob...umm...yes please! ;)

way to keep things in check, Goz!

Gozde said...

I love you guys more :))

rpattzgirl survived Rob! said...

Crap, I missed the fun!

Love when you go off Gozde...I posted something earlier from twitter, please don't yell at me :o)

Love ya

Angie said...

Ana73, I like Vampire Diaries, too. The story is very different from Twilight. And, most male vampires in love are brooding and handsome. Can't be helped. That is how I like them.

Of course, Rob (as Edward), is the best vampire.

Anonymous said...

@Ana73 ~ No I haven't finish HPA yet, I think I'm on chap 27 or something like that. I went back to finish TD and hoping that chap 2 of The Training gets posted tonight. What are you reading next?

I agree, you have to give Vamp Diaries a chance. It gets better with each episode and is totally different from Twilight. The first episode I was like, okay hmm, but like you I gave it a chance.

keely said...

@Ana73: No killing intentions from me ;-) I started watching and liking it,too, never read the books, though. But I´ve got to say, I never was into horrorfilms and this serie really scared me sometimes. LOL I admit, I´m a coward, when it comes to this ;-)

Anonymous said...

ADM ~ Exactly! Brooding and vampire, such a wonderful combination! I don't particularly think that the actor is good looking but the character is, does that make sense? The brothers hot though!

rpattz-turn-me-on said...

iam hoping Rob is all kinds of Nekked in this movie......just saying :-)

Angie said...

LindaRose,

I agree. Do not know his name, He makes a good vampire, but I would never drool over him. I saw him in another TV series playing of all things a warewolf.

His brother is freaking evil! Love the way his facial expresses express this.

Angie said...

should be expressions

anna F said...

I'm so happy that Bel ami is still on. It will be a huge change, and certainly not appeal to everyone, but I'm sure that it was a much better move than the other project (made up by fans according to me, unfounded casting rumours because of 1 pic from months ago).

I love the Dune books, but si-fi ends up looking silly most of the time, even great books ;_;

Ana73 said...

keely - it's not scary but i did jump when the brother attacked the girls in their dreams. i really think the main girl is a good actress, the brothers are good vampires too.

but agreed "edward" is the hottest vamp. ever :))

LR - i am starting on emancipation proclamtion, RPG told me about it today and i just read the first chpater and it's pretty good. i didn't know that HPA was not done so i am waiting for the next update to come - but i did like it really HOT and i love the cullen family in this.

Anonymous said...

ok trivial ?, what is eating>?

Melissa said...

Love you Goz! :-)

xoxo

keely said...

Ana73, so was I and hit my head on my bookshelf LOL
Seriously, I think Ian Somerhalder/ Damon is one great vampire. I don´t mean that in an attractive kind of way, more like that he´s able to look so evil that I would scream my lungs out if he would attack me ;-)

Athena said...

Thank God for that! I'm really happy he is still doing Bel Ami! I loved the book! :D I want to see Rob in a negative role and I totally loathe Georges Duroy! :D

I hope they don't go for the French accent, though, 'cause it would be ridiculous!

I'm not sure why they call it a short story, though. It's over 200 pages, to me it's a novel...

Unknown said...

But Goz he's still in Unbound captives right??

I wonder when he'll be able to shoot all these movies..when does eclipse wrap up?

Spidermonkey said...

I thought I should write something interesting like "oh, so glad Rob is still in Bel Ami, then he can show the world his acting skills, blah, blah, blah". But then I thought, why lie. I already know he's a great actor. The TRUTH is that I flat out want to see Rob nekked doing all the dirty, naughty, torrid things we wish he was doing to us. ;)

Unknown said...

So Bel Ami could be a possible live action version of Edward Wallbanger...eh??? But more emphasize on the immorality..I guess

Wonder who are the lucky ladies to get a taste of our Rob..I sure envy them, whoever they are!!

Anonymous said...

omg yey!!! heart u gozde :) omg naked rob!! cant breathe

Unknown said...

Hmm... Obviously I love Rob playing Edward. Angsty, conflicted vampire, struggling to to the right thing, SO in love... THAT role is gold for him.

And I know Rob may want to branch out, but WTF... I'm not looking forward to hardly ANY of his other roles. I NEVER want to see Rob act gay - just EWwww... No way. I hate tragedies, so Remember Me is probably out, as much as I HATE to say that.

And watching Rob play an amoral creep - yeah... so NOT excited for that. :(

I liked Dune. I think that could have been good.

I guess Madeline Stowe's movie might be ok, but he's not exactly staring in that one.

A - Really?? BD in November.. Geez. If so, this would mean the entire cast will have been living, breathing, eating & drinking Twilight for almost an entire year (not counting all the promotion last year)

If I were them, I don't know if I'd be screaming to get off that train, or breathing a sigh of relief because the end is near..
