What do you think of Bella’s first experiences in her “new” life?
1Here are some great reviews of Robert Pattinson’s new film trailer for ‘Bel Ami.’
From The Improper:
Robert Pattinson is seething with lust in an explosive portrayal of Guy de Maupassant’s scandalous protagonist in a leaked trailer of “Bel Ami,” a movie about decadent French society, co-starring Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas.
This could be the film where Pattinson establishes himself as an actor, on par with Marlon Brando, James Dean and Richard Burton.
He exudes lust, desire and ambition as a “penniless” soldier who’s determined to find his place in French society by seducing the wives of powerful men at the center of Parisian society.
The film is about the corrupt rise of Georges Duroy, who becomes one of the most successful men in Paris by manipulating powerful, intelligent, and wealthy mistresses.Thurman recently praised Pattinson’s performance: “He’s incredibly concrete in his presence on the set and obviously very handsome,” she told MTV.
“He’s a very nice person and he’s sensitive,” she added. “He’s present. He’s a really good actor.”“Bel Ami” is scheduled to premiere in late 2011.

“Wow. After watching Robert Pattinson basically grow up in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Twilight saga and Water for Elephants, I’d basically give up hope that the twentysomething heartthrob could escape his soft-spoken typecasting and become the next Johnny Depp or Leonardo Dicaprio. But after a few snippets of scenes from his latest indie period drama Bel Ami, I’m starting to wonder if he’s been hiding his real talents in order to survive the Twi-hards!
FilmStage:
Forget San Diego Comic-Con, the real superhero is Robert Pattinson and his unrelenting charm in the first trailer for his drama Bel Ami. Based Guy de Maupassant‘s classic novel, the main thing I take away from this film is anyone that lays eyes on our Twilight star wants to sleep with him. And then he eventually becomes a cranky man. Sound good? Check out the trailer below via YouTube for the film also starring Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci and directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod.
2Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are excited for fans to see “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1,” but what “little surprises” will fans see in the wild honeymoon sex scene? Plus, what did Kristen think of author Stephenie Meyer being on set more for the shooting of the last two films in the series?
Comic-Con 2011: Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Talk ‘Breaking Dawn’ Sex Scene!

0Robert Pattinson was at press conference at the Comic-Con with his co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner and Director, Bill Condon, of the upcoming The Twilight Saga - ‘Breaking Dawn’
Here’s an excerpt of the press conference.
10:47 a.m. What geeky things have they learned about each other? “Kristen literally only watches the cooking channel. And especially on set, it’s bizarre. She has a TV in her trailer and it’s always on. It’s her only diva-ish behavior,” Pattinson says. “And you all reap the benefits,” Stewart insists. She goes on… “Taylor… I have one, but I’m not going to say.” She adds, “Taylor can dance… He can move his hips better than I can ever dream. Literally, it’s crazy.” Pattinson interrupts, “That’s not nerdy, it’s awesome.”
10:49 a.m. Most difficult scene? Taylor says, “I was pretty nervous about imprinting. I was given an X on the wall,” Stewart interjects, “What did you want? Her to be sitting there?” Lautner says, “I don’t think there was an ideal scenario.” He adds, “I spent a lot of time talking to Bill and Stephanie. It was like, ‘What does imprinting even look like?’” Robert says the most difficult thing was taking his shirt off. “At least he’s honest,” Stewart adds.
10:56 a.m. How have Rob and Taylor dealt with middle-aged female fans. And have they been creeped out? “To be creeped out by it, you’d have to be creeped out by middle-aged women, which I’m not. Different strokes for different folks, I guess,” Rob says. “”No complaints here,” Taylor adds.
