Robert Pattinson, it has just been announced, will be joined by none other than Cold Mountain and Australia beauty Nicole Kidman for his upcoming film Bel Ami.

Pattinson, you know, will be taking the lead in the book-to-film translation of Guy de Maupassant’s novel by the same name. Ditching the Edward Cullen swagger and charm from The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse for a more bedding provocateur role in Bel Ami, Pattinson will begin filming the movie in February, 2010.

Presumably this will take place once his Allen Coulter film Remember Me debuts in theaters (February 12, 2010).

Pattinson hails from the United Kingdom, while Kidman is happily from the land down under (Australia). This will make Pattinson’s on-screen time with the Aussies in 2010 double-fold as he will also work with Kidman’s Australia co-star Hugh Jackman in Unbound Captives – also expected to film in late 2009 to early 2010.
