Robert Signed Up For “Bel Ami”?

November 21st, 2009 • By Camilla • Bel Ami, Robert

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Robert has signed up for a movie called Bel Ami in which he plays Georgie Duroy, a young journalist. Read more about this and his role below. No official announcement has been made yet.

“Ami” tells of George Duroy (Pattinson), a young journalist who rose from poverty to become one of the most successful men in Paris via the ruthless and calculating bedding of the city’s most glamorous and influential women.

Thurman plays the wife of Duroy’s friend, a woman who is extremely involved and connected in the goings-on of Parisian society. She helps Duroy in his ascent, later becoming his wife.

Thomas plays a socialite who falls for Duroy, becoming clingy in the process.

London theater director Declan Donnellan is making his film debut on “Ami,” which Uberto Pasolini is producing through his shingle Redwave Films. Simon Fuller of 19 Entertainment is executive producing.

The movie is scheduled to shoot next year in Paris.

Sandra Miani said:

I hope Robert can pull this off. Playing Duroy requires a lot of skill and range. After seeing Little Ashes I am a little hesitant that he can carry such a complex character. Hopefully he has progressed and matured a little bit since then. I wish him luck, and yes, I will go to see the film.
