Move over Kristen Stewart. Uma Thurman is gauging the interest of 'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the two will be starring opposite one another in an adaptation of Guy de Mauppassant's short story 'Bel Ami.'



The plot tells the story of a young journalist, George Duroy (Pattinson), who managed to excel as one of the most successful men in Paris after suffering from poverty. Thurman's character, the wife or Duroy's friend, is quite the socialite in Paris and helps the young journalist with his ascent. The two later become husband and wife.

Kristin Scott Thomas has also signed on. She will portray a socialite who clings to Duroy as she garners an interest in him romantically.

The film, according to The Hollywood Reporter, will begin filming in Paris next year. Fans can see Pattinson in 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' in theaters now. Thurman is next on the big screen as Medusa in 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,' scheduled for a February 2010 release.

By the way I beleive that Kristen and Robert were already discuss about film tissus and also relationship.. I m sure they are agreed each other and still love each other, Kristen know Robert's heart is hers and Robert know her heart is his, so they wont be worry about it..
