For those of you who’ve been waiting patiently or impatiently (if you’re like myself), we finally have an actual release date for Bel Ami now that the film has found a distributor in the United States. Thanks to Magnolia Pictures, Bel Ami will have it’s theatrical release on June 8th this year. Read more below:

New York – (March 12, 2025) – The Wagner/Cuban Company’s Magnolia Pictures announced today the June 8th U.S. theatrical release of BEL AMI, starring Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, and Colm Meaney. BEL AMI had its World Premiere as an Official Selection of last month’s 62nd Berlin International Film Festival.

In this sexy retelling of Guy de Maupassant’s classic tale of blackmail, manipulation, and social-climbing, set against 19th century Paris, Pattinson stars as the young and very ambitious George Duroy, who discovers that his unadulterated passion and seduction skills with influential Parisian ladies (Ricci, Thurman, and Thomas), above-all, is the fastest and most effective way to the upper echelons of the society he so desperately wants to control.

Thanks to Becky and Noor!

Finally, we get a chance to see Bel Ami! I know I’m excited, are you?

In a recent interview while doing press for the premiere of Bel Ami in Berlin, Robert Pattinson was asked about the recent comments made by a Lionsgate executive and his wishes for the Twilight Saga to continue. Rob responded that he’d be curious to see what Stephenie Meyer wrote, but that he’s much to old to play Edward Cullen at this point. Read more below:

British actor Robert Pattinson said on Friday he may be too old to reprise his role as the ever-youthful vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” movies, should author Stephenie Meyer decide to add another novel to the series.

The 25-year-old’s status as an A-list celebrity was underlined at the Berlin film festival where crowds of screaming girls gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor.

Pattinson, sporting shaved hair, was at the festival for the world premiere of “Bel Ami”, a costume drama set in late 19th century Paris based on Guy de Maupassant’s novel about a poor man who sleeps and cheats his way to the top of society.

It marks a big step away from the “Twilight” world which turned Pattinson into a star, and will go some way to showing how versatile he is as an actor.

“I’d be curious what Stephenie would write, but I just think I’d probably be too old,” he told reporters after a screening of “Bel Ami”, which also features Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci. “I’m already too old. But yeah, it’d be kind of interesting.”

Hmm, I’m not sure how I feel about this. Edward IS supposed to look 17, but I just can’t imagine being okay with anyone other than Rob ever playing the part either.

What do you think? Is Rob too old to play Edward?

Just in time for the weekend, we have some brand new stills from Robert Pattinson’s new movie, Bel Ami. Rob’s character in Bel Ami is a far cry from his Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga, and not just in looks. It’s obvious Georges Duroy loves women, and lots of them, but he definitely doesn’t treat them well. Check out all of the new stills after the jump:

Though a U.S. release date has yet to be set, Twi-hards are already squeeing with anticipation for Robert Pattinson’s period adaptation Bel Ami, in which the Twilight star plays a turn of the century dandy sleeping his way through the ranks of Parisian high society. Which means he gets up close and personal (and hot and heavy and between the sheets) with pretty much every woman in sight, as seen in a new batch of pics that have surfaced online.

As soldier-turned-man whore Georges Duroy in Bel Ami, however, expect RPattz to go full sexy with co-stars Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman (both pictured below), and Kristin Scott Thomas. Behold, the artful period design and various compromising positions you can expect to see (along with a snap of Pattinson and director Declan Donnellan).

Josh Horowitz got right down to business for MTV when he interviewed Robert Pattinson at Comic Con. Rob joked around about filming the sex scenes for Breaking Dawn and then went on to talk a little bit about his movie, Cosmopolis, as well. Check out the interview below:

“You just get lubed up and jump right into it!” RPattz laughed when MTV News caught up with him at San Diego Comic-Con. “You have to have some tantric breathing and stuff.”

And if you feel like bringing something a little special to the date, there’s always room for some aerobic board games. “You’re playing Twister,” Rob deadpanned when asked what the filming process is like.

In all seriousness, Rob didn’t find shooting the intimate scene any easier, even though he’s known costar Kristen Stewart for four years now. Even with the rumors circling them, saying they’re in a relationship (or married, or living together, or preggo, depending on which gossip rag you read), RPattz still found filming the sexier scenes very uncomfortable.

“Everyone always says it about sex scenes in movies — it’s really awkward and blah, blah, blah — but it is!” he said.

Fortunately that hasn’t put him off to ever working with Kristen again. He has “Bel Ami” and “Cosmopolis” to look forward to, while Kristen has a big tentpole in “Snow White and the Huntsman,” but Rob seemed to like the idea of the two of them coming back together on a project in the future.

“I’d love to. Definitely,” he told us without hesitation. “I don’t know how audiences would respond to it or whatever, [but] I’d love to.”

We have some very exciting news today! After a very long wait, there is finally a brand new trailer that gives us our very first glimpse of Robert Pattinson in his movie, Bel Ami. Enjoy the trailer below!

The trailer for Pattinson’s newest film, Bel Ami, premiered today.

Pattinson plays George Duroy, a poor former soldier in 1890 Paris who uses his good looks and seduction skills to gain wealth and status. Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci co-star as some of the women that fall for Pattinson’s irresistible character.

I wasn’t sure I’d like Bel Ami based on previous descriptions of it, but after seeing the trailer for the movie, I can’t wait! Rob really looks the part and the movie simply looks fantastic!

Robert Pattinson went into quite a bit of detail recently in an interview with Elle UK. Rob discusses his latest role in Cosmopolis and his real desire to do some theatre in London but his fear that it would turn into a fan circus. He goes on to describe what it’s like to be constantly in the Twilight spotlight, his love for his new dog, Bear and how he would never, ever have a relationship just for the sake of publicity. Read more below:

No more blockbuster franchises: he is about to shoot Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis, directed by auteur David Cronenberg (“The novel reads like an incredibly long poem,” says Pattinson enthusiastically. “The film’s going to be totaly an utterly out there”). He has also stepped into the role of leading man in two films this year, first opposite Reese Witherspoon in the circus epic Water for Elephants, then with Uma Thurman in the Gut de Maupassant adaptation Bel Ami. Older women, as he tells me, are nothing new to him: “Every girl I went out with in my teens was older than me. My first girlfriend was 26, I was 17. Women who were older always seemed more exciting.” Because they knew more? “I guess so. I used to think I was a bit of a bad-ass when I was younger. I liked that it annoyed people how much younger I was. I liked walking into a room with a woman and people looking at us and thinking: they do not look like together.”

If these women are well-dressed, I can see why observers might make that judgement. Today, Pattinson is wearing tatty vintage sunglasses, black sweatshirt, black T-shirt, black jeans and the unshaven, rumpled air of a man who has woken up to find that his car has already been waiting outside for some time. This happens to him a lot, I think. He dumps his cigarettes, laptop and keys on the table and sighs at his own laziness. “My ideal job would be one day a week. When I first started acting, I’d get one job a year that lasted three months, and then I’d do nothing the rest of the time but I’d have enough money to survive. I’d read all the papers every day, get in a lot of DVDs… That was great.” He breaks into a wide-cheekboned smile, eyes heavy-lidded, gentle and slightly feline; like James Dean, without the self-hatred.

He’s 24 now, but, perhaps ironically, given his vampiric alter-ego’s perpetual teenagedhood, seems younger. His face lights up when he sees his favourite lunch has been delivered to the studio: chicken kebab. “I’ve got simple tates.” He’s a sweet, goofy boy, quick to laugh and smile, though he doesn’t seem particularly happy. But he is, he says, more content than he used to be. He used to write music as a release (his compositions appeared on the Twilight soundtrack) but hasn’t felt the need for a while. “I have to be incredibly depressed to write songs and I’m not. What makes me want to write songs is when I wake up crying. I would have no idea why I was crying, but it made me sad for myself… “ And he bursts out laughing.

But the pressure of overnight, global success can’t be escaped. The swarm that follows him restricts his choices in many ways. “I’d really really love to do a play in London,” he says. “But I’d just be afraid it would turn into an ‘NSync concert. Or people would come along expecting it to be something like Twilight. From the little amount of theatre I’ve done, I know that usually you can feel a push from the audience, who have come along wanting the show to succeed. But when I go to premieres, it’s more like the crowd is pulling, really wanting something from you. I always feel completely drained afterwards. It would be very strange and exhausting to have that kind of experience every night on stage.”

A very debonair looking Robert Pattinson is going to be gracing the pages of Elle Magazine in their upcoming May issue. In addition to the photo shoot, there is a great interview with Rob where he takes a closer look at his role in Bel Ami and then talks everything from paparazzi to spending time with his new pup. Below we have some of the very funny answers Rob provided to some questions:

ELLE: Have you had many near-death experiences?

RP: Yes, loads. I am the worst driver in the world. Every time I get in a car, I call up my parents and say goodbye.

ELLE: What percentage of evil do you think you are?

RP: I mean, I used to think it was more—around 40. I think I was overestimating. I think it’s more like 3, which is very disappointing.

ELLE: What would have to happen to make tonight unforgettable? Anything you want.

RP: I just got a little dog, so I’m having a very girly night here with my pup, a rescue mutt. It’s going to sound like I’m making this up.

ELLE: What are some descriptions of you that you’ve had enough of?

RP: I never got the “brooding” thing. I’ve had about enough of that.

ELLE: What would you like to replace it with?

RP: Brooded. “Rob Pattinson looking brooded.” Brooded: It’s, like, after you’ve finished brooding.
