Uma Thurman to star opposite “Twilight’s” Pattinson in steamy new film

Uma Thurman will be firing up the silver screen with the “Twilight” saga’s Robert Pattinson in a provocative new motion picture, entitled “Bel Ami,” which will start filming next month.

“They are planning on doing the film in London. The plot of the movie is not being released just yet,” Thurman's rep tells People.

Yet, an article on People.com gives some tidbits about the movie including its other cast members, “Pattinson – cast in May in the story based on the 19th-century novel by Guy De Maupassant – will also be joined onscreen by Christina Ricci, reportedly as a promiscuous young housewife, and Kristin Scott Thomas.”

The 23-year-old actor will play a Parisian soldier who then morphs into a bad-boy journalist.

In reference to the film’s female lead role, Pattinson said that she “needs to be literally inspirational.”

Given 39-year-old Thurman’s extensive and eclectic motion picture resume, it is doubtful that Pattinson will be disappointed.

Pattinson is currently in post-production on the third chapter in the “Twilight” saga, entitled “Eclipse.”

Meanwhile, Thurman’s film credits include the 1994 John Travolta/Samuel L. Jackson/Bruce Willis thriller, “Pulp Fiction,” the 1996 romantic comedy, “The Truth About Cats & Dogs” opposite Janeane Garofalo, the 2003 Quentin Tarantino written and directed actioner, “Kill Bill, Vol. 1” and its 2004 sequel, “Kill Bill, Vol. 2.”
