After a much needed break following completion of filming the Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Robert Pattinson is back at work, getting ready to start filming Bel Ami.
Information about the film was kept quiet during most of 2009, however, with the start of 2010, and as production neared closer, more and more details became available.
Collider.com recently posted casting information about the much anticipated project. Pattinson is taking on the leading role in the movie, playing Georges Duroy. According to Collider's synopsis, Duroy capitalizes on his seductive abilities to make his way through Paris, bedding the city's wealthy women, and rising to power as a result.
Of course Pattinson isn't the only major star in the film. The following stars also have roles in Bel Ami:
Christina Ricci - Clotilde
Holly Grainger - Suzanne
Uma Thurman - Madeleine
Kristin Scott Thomas - Virginie
Colm Meaney - Rousset
Philip Glenister - Charles
In addition to this exciting cast, Simon Fuller, the brains behind American Idol, is signed on as an executive producer for the film. Fuller is also rumored to be one of the financial backers for Bel Ami.
Filming for Bel Ami begins February 7. The film will be shot in London and Budapest.

Gee they're going to start shooting on Sunday! I can't wait to see pics on set but I'd imagine a lot will be shot indoors. I just want to see him in period costume with hopefully no beard.
