Robert Pattinson photo: Bel Ami Bel Ami Film Box Office Pt.1 In the United Kingdom, the home country of Robert Pattinson and much of the Bel Ami cast and behind-the-scenes talent, Pattinson’s movie scored $1.14m. It’s no. 50 on the UK box-office chart. Relatively speaking, Bel Ami was a more modest performer in the UK, especially compared to Hollywood movies, e.g., War Horse grossed $29.57m, the Fox-distributed The Iron Lady $15.71m, Mirror Mirror $10.78m, and The Phantom Menace $8.23m as per Box Office Mojo. A handful of independent releases fared much better as well, particularly the aforementioned Daniel Radcliffe movie The Woman in Black, which took in a whopping $34.55m. Having said that, one must take into account that Bel Ami, unlike the vast majority of the more successful movies at the UK box office, has an “adult” theme. In fact, the Robert Pattinson film earned a “15″ certificate...

Robert Pattinson as Georges Duroy, Uma Thurman as Madeleine Forestier, Bel Ami Robert Pattinson's Georges Duroy is about to be seduced by Uma Thurman's Madeleine Forestier in the Bel Ami online clip below (please scroll down). While getting ready for some erotically charged entertainment, Thurman's Madeleine tries to come up with a new name and origin for Pattinson's Georges, an impoverished ex-soldier thrown into the living rooms (and boudoirs) of Parisian high society. Directed by Nick Ormerod and Declan Donnellan, and adapted by Rachel Bennette from Guy de Maupassant's classic 19th-century novel, Bel Ami also features Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, Colm Meaney, Natalie Tena, Holliday Grainger, Pip Torrens, James Lance, and Todd Peterson. Bel Ami will be available on VOD in the United States on May 4. It opens in the Us on June 8. Also in 2012, Robert Pattinson will be seen in two other movies: David Cronenberg...

Christina Ricci, Robert Pattinson, Bel Ami The American Bel Ami trailer, prominently featuring Robert Pattinson, has been launched online. (Please scroll down.) It looks exactly — or rather, almost exactly like the British Bel Ami trailer released last December. The one difference that I could find: The Us version begins with the Magnolia Pictures logo; the British version begins with the StudioCanal logo. So, as mentioned in our previous article on the Bel Ami trailer, instead of making romantic — and mostly quite chaste — love to Twilight's Kristen Stewart, in Bel Ami we get to see Pattinson seducing (and being seduced by) the likes of Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman, and Christina Ricci. British stage veterans (but film newcomers) Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod directed this most recent movie adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's classic 19th-century novel about an impoverished but ambitious ex-soldier who, and I'm quoting from André Soares' Bel Ami article here,...

Bel Ami American poster: Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci As much as I liked the German poster for Bel Ami, the American Bel Ami poster — a sort of reboot of the German version — is even classier thanks to the stylish background. Also, notice that it's the same Robert Pattinson image, but all three leading ladies have had their pictures changed. [Bel Ami extended scenes.] For Uma Thurman, they kept the face but altered the hair and the dress; we now get some cleavage. Kristin Scott Thomas is wearing the same dress, but here she's looking straight at the camera (or at you, looking at the poster). Christina Ricci is wearing what I believe is the same dress, but here her garment is much more brightly colored than in the German poster. Also, like Scott Thomas, Ricci is looking is straight at the camera. In the German poster, both Scott Thomas and Ricci were looking sideways.

Bel Ami Blu-ray: Robert Pattinson is "Robert Pattison" Bel Ami, starring Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci comes out on DVD/Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on July 23 as per Amazon.com. That's good news for Pattinson, Thurman, Scott Thomas, and Ricci fans, but as belamifilm.com has pointed out, there's one glitch: Robert Pattinson is billed as "Robert Pattison" on the DVD cover. We've made that mistake before; our excuse is that we have a — to put it mildly — skeleton editorial staff. For now, it's unclear whether or not DVD distributor StudioCanal will correct the typo. In the United States, Bel Ami will be available on VOD on May 4. Magnolia Pictures will distribute the period comedy-drama in Us theaters on June 8. Even though it had already had special screenings in various Belgian cities, the film had its official World Premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February.

Robert Pattinson, Christina Ricci, Bel Ami Bel Ami, starring Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci, will be available on VOD in the United States on May 4. The period comedy-drama will debut in Us theaters — via Magnolia Pictures — a little over a month later, on June 8, according to the film's website. [Watch Bel Ami trailer.] Bel Ami had its official World Premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February, though the film had already had special screenings in various Belgian cities. Reviews so far have been mixed. Directed by stage veterans (but film newcomers) Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, Bel Ami was adapted by Rachel Bennette from Guy de Maupassant's 19th-century novel. The film's cast also includes Colm Meaney, Natalie Tena, Holliday Grainger, Pip Torrens, James Lance, and Todd Peterson. We'd been expecting Sony Pictures Classics to release Bel Ami in the United States, as the film had been acquired...

Robert Pattinson, Bel Ami In the new Bel Ami clip (see below), Christina Ricci's Clotilde de Marelle makes the mistake of telling Robert Pattinson's handsome Georges Duroy that Holliday Grainger's Suzanne Rousset is worth 13 million francs. Pattinson gives her The Look. We know what's coming, but it takes a few seconds before Grainger turns around and flashes him a (very broad) smile. Despite the very obvious gash on his nose, she's his. He knows it. So is her fortune. He knows that, too. He smiles as well — but to himself. Bel Ami opens Friday, March 9, in the United Kingdom. Sony Pictures Classics is releasing in the United States this latest film adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's novel. So far, however, there's no confirmed opening date — much to the dismay of Pattinson's Us fans. Directed by stage veterans (but film newcomers) Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, the...

Robert Pattinson, Holliday Grainger: Bel Ami wedding scene Bel Ami directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, both stage veterans and first-time feature filmmakers, chatted with the UK's Stv about their upcoming film, which comes out in Britain on March 9. (A Us release date — via Sony Pictures Classics — remains in the air.) In their conversation, they discuss the relevance of Guy de Maupassant's 19th-century novel to today's world, working with Twicon Robert Pattinson, and explain that Bel Ami originally was to have been a play. As to why make a film version of Bel Ami in the early 21st century, Donnellan responded: “We chose it because it’s very much about how we are now. It’s about a young man with very few talents who manages to seduce his way to the top of society. It’s a triumph of mediocrity very much through celebrity culture. It’s...

Christina Ricci, Robert Pattinson, Bel Ami "'I had no conception of the depths of your emptiness!' a character shrieks in Bel Ami, and her words take on an unintended resonance as addressed to Robert Pattinson in the lead role," says Justin Chang in his Variety review of Bel Ami, which had its official World Premiere earlier today at the Berlin Film Festival. [Watch Bel Ami trailer.] "Displaying little in the way of wily self-assurance, charisma or gravitas," Chang continues, "the Twilight Saga heartthrob doesn't exactly invigorate this flailing English-language adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's much-filmed novel about a handsome scoundrel seducing his way up the social ladder in 19th-century Paris." Further down in his review, Chang adds the following about Pattinson's performance as the cunning, pathologically ambitious Georges Duroy: "But it's one thing to embody a moral void, quite another to look merely vacant, and in scene after scene, Pattinson registers a...

Robert Pattinson film: Guy de Maupassant's Bel Ami Twelve minutes from the latest Robert Pattinson film, an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's Bel Ami, have been uploaded online. Those consist of five brief, disparate scenes from the movie, all of them featuring Pattinson. (This Bel Ami online video — please scroll down — was initially posted at Robert Pattinson Life.) Set in a darkly lit church, the first scene shows Pattinson's ambitious ex-soldier Georges Duroy playing a very determined game of seduction with Older (and very married) Woman Kristin Scott Thomas. In the second, Pattinson convincingly plays a drunk Duroy in a rowdy cabaret. That's when he runs into the obnoxious publisher Charles Forestier, who will inadvertently assist Duroy in his meteoric ascent in Parisian society. The third scene is set at the Forestier dinner table. The issue of class is all too evident — Duroy doesn't know which knife to use.

Robert Pattinson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Bel Ami As can be attested by the Bel Ami online clip (see below) from the Russian MTV — with English subtitles — the Robert Pattinson period drama is a potential nominee for the Best Costume Design Academy Award of 201. As part of the Gay Paree Bel Ami look, you get Pattinson wearing a top hat, and Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman, and Christina Ricci garbed in fancy 19th-century dresses. [Watch Bel Ami trailer.] Dramatically speaking, one Bel Ami scene that is particularly effective features a pathetic — as in, full of pathos — Scott Thomas following and being pushed aside by Pattinson's ambitious former soldier Georges Duroy. The clip also offers several brief — but cool — behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Bel Ami set. Bel Ami, which has already had a few special screenings in various Belgian cities, will have its official world premiere — out of competition — at the Berlin Film Festival. In addition to Robert Pattinson,...

Robert Pattinson, Bel Ami Will the Robert Pattinson movie Bel Ami be screened at the Berlin Film Festival? Rumor has it that it will. Although that is certainly a possibility, the issue may turn out to be a little complicated. [Watch Bel Ami trailer.] Larry Richman has written a long and very detailed article on the likelihood — or not — of Bel Ami having its "official" World Premiere in Berlin, whether in competition or in one of the various sidebars. The word "official" is between quotes because Bel Ami has been shown at special screenings (for women only) in various Belgian cities in early January. "All sections of the Berlin Film Festival have in their requirements, 'World Premieres are given priority,'" Richman explains. "Normally, the definition of 'World Premiere' would not allow for a previous theatrical run. … Then again, if the film was accepted into Berlin, the filmmakers were likely notified of that prior...

Uma Thurman, Bel Ami set "To answer the ubiquitous question about this movie, yes, Robert is good-looking in person, but he doesn’t have that diamond-sparkle skin like in those Dracula movies," Uma Thurman recently told Harper's Bazaar UK. The movie in question is Bel Ami, the Robert in question is Robert Pattinson (photo), and those "Dracula movies" are — I think — the Twilight movies that have turned Pattinson (along with fellow Dracula-ites Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner) into a household name. Thurman then added that Pattinson is "a very disciplined, very serious, very ambitious, very organized actor." Pattinson's Bel Ami character is also quite disciplined, serious, ambitious, and organized (and horny, too). That's ex-soldier Georges Duroy, who through his good looks, sexual prowess, and mathematical cunning manages to rise to the heights of 19th-century Parisian society. (If the sign above Pattinson's head doesn't look too French, well, that's probably because...

Bel Ami movie: Robert Pattinson The Bel Ami movie trailer was released a week ago. Now comes the Brazilian Bel Ami trailer (scroll down), which happens to be the (classy) English-language trailer with Portuguese subtitles. The text below is an expanded version of the article posted at the time of the original trailer's release. In the trailer, we get to watch Robert Pattinson play a radically different character from his lovestruck vampire in the Twilight movies. Instead of having sex with Breaking Dawn's virginal Kristen Stewart, in Bel Ami Pattinson keeps himself busy with the more mature Kristin Scott Thomas and a whole array of other females of varying ages, shapes, and civil and social statuses. Two veterans of the British stage, Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, directed this latest film adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's novel about Georges Duroy, an impoverished but ambitious ex-soldier who uses his drive,...

Robert Pattinson, Bel Ami The handsome Bel Ami trailer has been released. (See below.) Instead of Breaking Dawn's near-teen Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, the Twilight movies' vampire Edward Cullen, "makes love to" (i.e., has sex with) a more mature Kristin Scott Thomas and a whole array of other females. Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod directed this latest movie adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's classic novel about an impoverished but ambitious ex-soldier who uses his drive, his wit, and his penis to get ahead in life. Some will call Bel Ami's anti-hero Georges Duroy a man-whore, but that's pure envy. Men must sell their wares in every profession. Only the self-deluded will believe otherwise. But while at work, how many of those professionals get to bed, kiss, and (fore)play with the likes of Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, and Uma Thurman? And how many of them look...
