Uma Thurman has the Edward Cullen bug, just like every other gal in America. On the dawn of New Moon, the latest release in the Twilight franchise, comes the news that Thurman has joined the production of Bel Ami, based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant.

According to THR, Thurman has signed on to star opposite Robert Pattinson, who will play George Duroy, 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 will play the wife of Duroy’s friend, a woman who is extremely involved and connected in the happenings of Parisian society. She helps Duroy during his journey and eventually becomes his wife.

Kristin Scott Thomas has also joined the cast, and will play a socialite who also falls for Duroy, becoming clingy in the process.

London theater director Declan Donnellan will be making his feature debut with the pic, which shoots in Paris early next year.

    This is good news. I've read Bel Ami , it's solid work and many more Maupassant adaptations wouldn't go amiss given the scarcity of good scenarios out there. Even better it's the perspective of seeing Robert Pattinson doing some real acting -not that he didn't try his best in the Vampire movies- and having some real screen "gems" as his co-stars. Unlike Miss Stewart who can not act for the life of her and has the dubious talent of not allowing anything of the kind from her partners on screen. She would suck them all dry ,from budding talents to more established ones.

    Why cast Robert Pattinson in this? The boy can't act. I've seen some of his stuff before and after he was a vampire, awful, awful. I mean these woman are gonna eat him alive acting wise. I just don't see the craze for this guy.
