Slowly but surely, Twilight star Robert Pattinson is making moves to expand and prolong his career post-Edward Cullen, and the cinematic adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's Bel-Ami is another step in that journey. Russian site Spletnik has published several new stills of the nineteenth century fable, most of which feature Pattinson in a clinch with his female co-stars.
Possesses a certain seductive charm in part because of the elegant set and costume designs, but mostly because of the performances; Pattinson’s take on a mannered scoundrel is intriguingly nuanced.
Full review by Chris Pandolfi.
For all of its sex and scandal, Bel Ami lacks the passion needed to make its story of lust and power a memorable one.

The domestic trailer for Declan Donnellan's period drama Bel Ami is now online, courtesy of iTunes Movie Trailers, and can be viewed in the player below.
Glad to see Pattinson really branching out from Twilight stuff. Maybe he won't get stuck in a rut because of the role. I will say though, that I doubt he'd be able to seduce Ricci and Uma Thurman.
He probably woulnd't want to seduce either of them. Uma is a mutt and Ricci's only asset is her chest.
Saw Robert Pattinson in Water for Elephants recently and all I can think is Twilight. :P
