Robert Pattinson as Georges Duroy in a 2011 movie called Bel Ami?

[Guest Havan_IronOak]

I just came across a link on IMDb that mentioned this movie. Anyone hear anything about this?

 

The kid who played the brooding vampire love interest in Twilight (2008) is now starring as a character named George Duroy in a movie called Bel Ami?

 

The plot synopsis on IMDb just says "A chronicle of a young man's rise to power in Paris via his manipulation of the city's most influential and wealthy women"

 

Is this in any way related to the guy that's brought us such beautiful young men as Johan Paulik, Lukas Ridgestone, Ion Davidov, Sebastian Bonnet et. al. ?

Pattinson as duroy

 

The original Georges Duroy is a character in the French novel Bel Ami,by deMaupassant, I think. This is the role Mr. Pattinson is playing; all those Czechs have borrowed the name and the title from

this (out of copyright)original.
