For you Robert Pattinson fans out there clamoring for something to tide you over until BREAKING DAWN PART 2 comes out (seeing as how he doesn’t have a Movie Hotties page), never fear – you’ll be able to see him soon enough on the just-anounced release date of June 8th for BEL AMI, in which he uses and leaves behind beautiful woman after beautiful woman in his climb to reach the top of Paris’ social ladder.
Plot recap: In this sexy retelling of Guy de Maupassant’s classic tale of blackmail, manipulation, and social-climbing, set against 19th century Paris, Pattinson stars as the young and very ambitious George Duroy, who discovers that his unadulterated passion and seduction skills with influential Parisian ladies (Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, and Kristin Scott Thomas), above-all, is the fastest and most effective way to the upper echelons of the society he so desperately wants to control.
In other news, that official synopsis is one sentence with eight commas. Eight.
BEL AMI had its World Premiere as an Official Selection of last month’s 62nd Berlin International Film Festival, though not necessarily to a great deal of acclaim.
