Bel Ami update

We are pleased to bring you an update on Rob’s next project, Bel Ami, which is due to start filming next month. The film is an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s book and is set to be released in 2011.

Uma Thurman is set to help Robert Pattinson cut his teeth as a bad-boy journalist in “Bel Ami,” which begins filming next month.

“They are planning on doing the film ‘Bel Ami’ in London,” Thurman’s rep told PEOPLE, confirming the actress’ involvement. Of a reported scripted kiss between the stars, the rep said, “The plot of the movie is not being released just yet.”

Pattinson — cast in May in the story based on the 19th-century novel by Guy De Maupassant — will also be joined onscreen by Christina Ricci, reportedly as a promiscuous young housewife, and Kristin Scott Thomas.

The actor, 23, who plays a Parisian soldier-turned-journalist, has said that the lead female role in the movie “needs to be literally inspirational.”

One can only guess that Thurman, 39, fills the bill — and then some.

Didn't Rob say that same quote for the lead actress in Remember Me?!! So I'm betting it's the same quote! Rob must be so happy to be filming in London!!!! I'm happy for him though didn't he also want to go to Paris?
