The Hollywood Reporter says Uma Thurman – and not Nicole Kidman, as previously rumoured - will star alongside Robert ‘Sparkly’ Pattinson in “Bel Ami”.
Inspired by a short film, “Ami” tells of George Duroy (Pattinson), a young journalist who rose from poverty to become one of the most successful men in Paris via the ruthless and calculating bedding of the city's most glamorous and influential women.
Thurman ("Kill Bill", "Batman & Robin") plays the wife of Duroy's friend, a woman who is extremely involved and connected in the goings-on of Parisian society. She helps Duroy in his ascent, later becoming his wife.
Kristin Scott-Thomas has also joined the cast. She plays a socialite who falls for Duroy, becoming clingy in the process.
The Declan Donnella-directed flick lenses next year in Paris.
