Nicole Kidman NOT Pairing Up With Robert Pattinson in 'Bel Ami'
Movie

Although the Academy Award-winning actress did consider to take on the adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's short story, the timing is allegedly not right.

AceShowbiz - Words on the street are, Nicole Kidman will be sharing screen with "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" star Robert Pattinson in "Bel Ami", but the story apparently turned out to be not a 100|percent| true. Gossip Cop was the first to set straight the swirling speculation, noting that the actress' representative has come out with a denial.

The site first explained that the Hugh Jackman's co-star in "Australia" actually did consider the movie as a future project, but the timing of the movie just didn't work out for her. It then sealed its report with what her rep has to say on the matter, writing that the rep claimed the movie is "categorically not happening" for Kidman.

Although Kidman's involvement on "Bel Ami" was ruled out, Pattinson's was not. The Edward Cullen of the "Twilight Saga" series is still attached to star as journalist Georges Duroy. Reports of him taking on the character he himself described as "totally amoral" actually came in long before this rumor built up, when he attended the 62nd Cannes Film Festival to promote "Remember Me".

"Bel Ami" is a morality tale centered on Georges Duroy, a man who rises to the top by manipulating a series of powerful and wealthy mistresses. Uberto Pasolini will serve as the producer, while Declan Donnellan is in the director seat. Rachel Bennette reportedly provided the script. Production is said to take place in London and Budapest starting from February 2010.
