The 22-year-old “Twilight” sensation Robert Pattinson is scheduled to begin shooting new Summit Entertainment project “Remember Me” this summer in New York while the actor is between Twilight sequels “New Moon,” which wraps at the end of May, and “Eclipse,” which starts in August.
Emmy-winning director Allen Coulter (“The Sopranos,” “Damages“) will direct, and Jenny Lumet, who penned the script for last year’s “Rachel Getting Married,” is working on a draft of the screenplay.
Pattinson will play the lead role in “Remember Me,” a story of a young couple whose burgeoning relationship is complicated by a succession of family tragedies that test their bond.
Summit co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger wouldn’t go into too much detail on the plot but described the film as this generation’s “Love Story,” the classic 1970 romance starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal. The film’s producers have not yet decided on the actress who will play Pattinson’s love interest.
Landing the “Remember Me” lead marks the first major role for Pattinson since he rocketed to public adulation for his portrayal of vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” franchise. He had been signed to appear alongside Rosario Dawson in “Parts per Billion,” but was forced to drop out due to his “New Moon” commitment. Pattinson will next be seen in the Salvador Dalí biopic “Little Ashes” he shot before “Twilight.”
another hearthrobe role…That´s what a talentless hunk does really.
It's these beautiful hunks who keep us girls looking for the right man, but alas, there are so many like you, no idea!
Thats Harsh… Considering hes not only a beautiful actor, but has an amazing voice… TALENTED is what i WOULD call him. Just wait and see!
My Mate Sabrina Sacker's In This Film.
She Is A Model kindof.
Im Not Sure What Shes Doing In The Film Though.
how can you not see the talent in such a brilliant man like rob.. men are just jealous
I Love Robert Pattinson
He’s like the sexiest man on earth
im glad that he’ll be back on our cinema screens
he’s so HOTT
Robert is the hottest and most talented guy out there:P
One day you people who will never have a chance with him(thats why ur hating)will wake up and see he’s the best thing that’s had happened to this universe:)
I agree, he is soo talented. His music, his acting… his acting really gives me chills, I really see and feel what he tries to give off as the character.
He is overall modest, and AMAZING
Can’t wait for this movie to come out. I think Twilight was just showing the surface of Robert Pattinson’s acting skills, can’t wait to see him in a role with more depth.
Other signs that this movie is going to be good:
1 – it has Chris Cooper. He’s always great.
2 – great songs in the trailer, especially “Asleep” by The Album Leaf (the one that plays about halfway through). That song is just about as dreamy as Robert himself!
Robert Pattinson deserves this role he really is a talented actor.
he is so hot i cant wait tell the film comes out just one more thing to admier him for (lol)
