Official Press Release for Bel Ami

by MrsEdwardCullen on February 4, 2010 · View Comments

in Robert Pattinson

It’s official casting has been completed for the upcoming Uma Thurman/Robert Pattison flick Bel Ami.

Principal photography on BEL AMI is to start on February 7th 2010, shooting on locations in London and Budapest.

Robert Pattinson (Twilight series, Remember Me) plays Georges Duroy in this erotically charged story of ambition, power and seduction. Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill) is Madeleine, Kristin Scott Thomas (Nowhere Boy, I’ve Loved You So Long)is Virginie, Christina Ricci (Monster, The Ice Storm)is Clotilde, Holly Grainger (Scouting Book for Boys)is Suzanne, Philip Glenister (Life on Mars, Calendar Girls) is Charles, and Colm Meaney (The Damned United, The Snapper) plays Duroy’s adversary, Rousset.  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.

BEL AMI is the story of Georges Duroy, who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets 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 sex is power and celebrity an obsession.

Besides RPatz, there are truly some great actors in this movie.  I can’t wait to see this film, it will be like waiting for all 3 Twi movies all over again.

12 leahreallyitis 02.04.10 at 5:57 pm

hopefully it is rated “R” *wink *wink if is bring a paper bag to hyperventilate in:) LOL:)

13 alice_av 02.04.10 at 5:58 pm

Hi, the author is Guy de Maupassant, i think the book is available to read on the internet. hope it helps, it's a good book.

14 leahreallyitis 02.04.10 at 5:59 pm

I think he(Rob) starts filming this weekend?

15 twilight_addict 02.04.10 at 6:05 pm

This is the one I am truly excited about. For Robert it could be the film that finally elevates him to “serious actor” status and ridds him of the “tween idol” image which, unless quickly shed, could prove destructive for his career. I am praying that Robert delivers a fantastic performance since this role is a true departure from the “brooding beauty” characters he has thus far portrayed. Duroy's slyness, moral depravity and ruthless ambition will be interesting to watch as embodies by Robert. I know he will do incredibly well and with an all-star cast of some truly brilliant actors and actresses, Bel Ami promises to put Robert Pattinson on the map as an acting force to be reckoned with!!!

16 Aloha -Scooby Doo (circa 5/09) 02.04.10 at 6:09 pm

Go Cad-bert!!

I wish I was in his way to the top. *sigh*

17 Diana 02.04.10 at 6:16 pm

I totally failed to see this post and the one above with Rob on top=))=))=)) (I wish)…I meant, with RM stills as first post:D:D:D

18 SureSure4Rob 02.04.10 at 6:17 pm

I am SO excited for this movie. I'm happy he's filming close to home too. He deserves some more family time :-)

19 I_love_u_I_want_u_right_now 02.04.10 at 6:28 pm

Off topic, but it mentioned one of Colm Meaney's films as “The snapper”. It's a brilliant Irish film! So funny!

20 SnowyHedwig since 05/09 02.04.10 at 6:39 pm

I cannot WAIT for Bel Ami!!

21 sagrario 02.04.10 at 7:07 pm

They have forgotten me!!!! I´m the one who pushes Uma thurman out of the way and gets her lover…mmmm….Madame Marie, just in case…

22 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.04.10 at 7:07 pm

leah? Are you having trouble with discus? It's not loading now for me.

23 bookobsessed 02.04.10 at 7:33 pm

Ok I'm loving the sound of the movie. The cast looks great. Rob is making a good move but I have to admit Uma gives me the shivers. There is something about that girl that's just disturbing. Is it just me? Does she creep anyone else out?…UGh….I really don't want Rob around her. Is that weird?

24 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.04.10 at 7:50 pm

*raising hand high in the air* No it's not weird,at all. I don't mean to offend any Uma fans, but I have never liked her. She has a weird look to me,kinda shifty. LOL When they announced her for that part I said “wth”. Of all the stars to choose. They play her as a sexy woman,and honey I just don't get it. Guess we're on the anti-Uma team. LOL That's our right. I love all of you who like her,she just don't do it for me. But,who cares, I'm going to be looking at Rob anyway. They could probably put Nancy Pelosi(ugh) in there and I wouldn't notice. LOL

25 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.04.10 at 7:54 pm

http://www.classicreader.com/book/1525/ Try this sweetie pie. It's the link to Bel Ami on the web. I've started it. Let me know if you get it. OK? *hugs*

26 VAMPGRL 02.04.10 at 8:30 pm

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!

Besides the fact that Robert will be just incredibly sexy on this movie… yeah it is possible…. I want to see his acting skills next to more experience actors and actresses. I know he could do a great job though…. If you have watched little ashes, you know Rob could play this character….
Good luck to Rob

27 VAMPGRL 02.04.10 at 8:31 pm

I definetely agree with you. I think Rob has a lot of talent to be waisted on Tween movies, look what happened to Daniel Radcliff; He will always be Harry Potter.

28 Robertsgirl 02.04.10 at 8:43 pm

I can't wait to see Rob in this role.

29 CantHelpIt (I <3 Beardward) 02.04.10 at 10:14 pm

“…erotically charged…”

*thud*

I can't wait either :)

30 Robertsgirl 02.04.10 at 10:29 pm

“…erotically charged…”

I know right….what's not to love!!!

31 bookobsessed 02.04.10 at 11:29 pm

Nancy P!!!! I think I just threw up a little. LMAO!!!! Ok so she's worse than Uma. I still don't want her touching ROB! *shivers*

32 Sic - TeamGlitterGlue 02.04.10 at 11:33 pm

I'm extremely excited to see this movie, but does this mean we will have to go through another 2 or 3 months without seeing Rob smile?

Remember during the filming of Remember Me we were luck to get a shot of happy Rob? My guess is that he was missing KStew, BUT that's just me. Now they will be even farther apart :/

Psst, if you get lonely you can always give me a call Rob.

33 Miami Coven Cherry Bomb 02.05.10 at 12:21 am

VAMPLOVER did you remember way back when the Uma/Oprah, fiasco from David Letterman at the Oscars? I do, everytime I see Uma's picture that comes up and not to mention Kill Bill

34 Miami Coven Cherry Bomb 02.05.10 at 12:22 am

Well folks there you have it you want your books to sell like hot cakes, cast Rob as one your characters

35 cullen1212 02.05.10 at 1:30 am

dude you said it ! i can wait to see him being all like seductive ahahha i mean more than he is already of course ! woo hoo ! : D GO ROB ! :D

36 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 1:50 am

God ,me either. I was just saying I wouldn't be watching her anyway. Bad choice,wasn't it? Yeah it was. Sorry. No, I don't want her touching or being anywhere near him. The old hag.

37 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 2:28 am

maybe kristen will fly over and give him a hug…

*always waving the Robsten flag*

38 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 2:35 am

remember that interview he gave in Cannes last year about Bel Ami???
ahhhh! I always think about how excited he was!
i think that was the first time i ever heard him say 'eff you'
luv that interview!
you know he is going to be amazing, because he said this was one of his favorite books of all time!
omg…i can't wait!!!!!!!!!

39 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 2:39 am

did you read the book? cuz I don't want to ruin it for you….
eventhough i think uma is def wrong for this part and i don't get the casting in this case…
there is one good thing about her getting this part …

40 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 2:46 am

i would want to be Clotilde, if i could be anyone in Bel Ami!
she def gets MORE of Georges than anyone…
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

41 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:07 am

Hey gal, Nope not all of it. I started it on line.Ohhh, Now you made me anxious. I'll read more asap. LOL Thanks! Glad to know she met her match. Heh heh heh

42 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 3:08 am

trust me….GREAT ENDING to madeleine…ha!

43 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:12 am

I can't remember that fiasco. LOL What happened? I didn't see Kill Bill. I know lots of people liked her in that, but I just don't care for her. If anyone likes her, That's great. It's one of those you do or you don't things. LOL
Sorry, I'm not getting e-mail notifications. I was earlier, but since about 9PM -nothin' Sorry to be late in replying.

44 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 3:15 am

Georges also has some really 'sensitive' and 'caring' moments as well. It's such a multi-faceted character, that this part can really blow the door wide open for Rob.
omg, i can't wait!

45 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:18 am

Awww, that would be sweet. Hey, I'm a Robsten flag waver,too. She's the only one I see him with. These other stars keep trying, to horn in, but he was so smitten by her and he grew on her(surprise) LOL I guess time will tell, but I can wish for them.
Even though I could literally eat him with a spoon and think all manner of stuff to do with him, I know it's something we all share, but Kristen is my girl. So *I'm waving my Robsten flag,too*

46 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:21 am

That's a fact MCCB. LOL He's like Miracle Gro is to plants. LOL Mention his name for a movie, and the books fly off the shelf. Haha.

47 Miami Coven Cherry Bomb 02.05.10 at 3:23 am

wasn't she suppose to be hanging around while Rob filmed Bel-Ami? I mean the girl deserves a vacation so if she wants to spent keeping Robbie company, I don't see nothing wrong with that and besides FEB 14 is Valentine's Day nothing more romantic than spending it in Europe with your honey.

48 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:23 am

Now,I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Hee hee. Nuff said to nudge me on.LOL Thanks!

49 Miami Coven Cherry Bomb 02.05.10 at 3:25 am

I know! thus far all Rob's movies have been based on books, The Haunted Airman, Harry Potter, Twilight, Bel-Ami, and Water for Elephants, maybe libraries should carry the Robert Pattinson editions. Heck the new book covers should have Rob on them.

50 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:26 am

See, another reason to make me read this book . I'll probably read all day, tomorrow. It's supposed to snow (UGH) anyway. Good time to read.

51 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 3:27 am

*winks*

52 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 3:30 am

exactly!
sundance – done
jury duty – done
UK/Hungary……..hmmmmmmmmmm
:)

53 vampwannabe 02.05.10 at 3:31 am

*winks*

54 Miami Coven Cherry Bomb 02.05.10 at 3:35 am

I do! I can't remember what year it was but it was the one time only Letterman hosted the Oscars, well he was up there and he started saying “Uma, Oprah”. it was bad.

55 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:49 am

OMG!!! I see why that comes to mind when you hear her name ,now. LOL. I bet that was a real sticky situation for all involved.

56 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:53 am

Perfect. I don't know, I thought I heard that she was, but you don't know what to believe anymore. Let's keep our fingers crossed,she does.If I were her ,I'd want to be there with what I hear are some pretty steamy scenes.
Besides,like you said,it's Valentine's day, how Romantic would that be? Oh, I hope ,I hope, I hope.

57 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:54 am

Good marketing,there. LOL No kidding, it would influence the readers.

58 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 3:56 am

We'll keep our eyes and ears pealed. LOL Just want them to be happy.

59 Miami Coven Cherry Bomb 02.05.10 at 3:59 am

yeah Stewy should stack up on VIctoria Secrets, than hand on to Europe, at least we know over there, they leave them alone, I mean it had not been for that little girl, we would had no idea they were together for New Year's. Worry not we may get wind if the Stew boarded a plane back to Europe.

60 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 4:06 am

Wouldn't it be nice for them to have a normal,relaxed time together, without dodging cameras and the paps. I get so angry about that. They need to be left alone,sometimes. I don't want the hiding and running and stuff to affect their personal lives. The tension has to be terrible. That can strain a relationship. So, press,people leave them alone. They're both so special ,they need their time to be special.

61 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 4:25 am

Well, twi-pal, think I'm headin' for the bed. I sure have enjoyed the visit. Catch ya later. Sleep well. *hug*

62 VAMPLOVER CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 4:27 am

hey gal, I'm headed to bed,but want to thank you for a great chat and thanks for the heads up about the book. Sleep well my twi-pal. *hug* Catch ya later.

63 TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 4:56 am

I'm so behind the times! I don't remember that interview. Can't wait for this movie!

64 TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven 02.05.10 at 5:11 am

So true! He'll put it on everybody's radar. Instant best-seller.

65 Kolinkin 02.05.10 at 1:08 pm

I'm from Hungary (its capital is Budapest) where Bel Ami is going to be shot! I'm so excited!!! :)

66 vampwannabe 02.06.10 at 12:47 am
