@Lise-Lou your worst nightmares are happening – hahaha – yep Bel Ami set photos have emerged whilst you have no computer access at Margaret River.  So everyone else – enjoy these two pics of Rob dressed as gorgeous Georges – classy Rob very very classy.  Thanks PopSugar and also to our friend the lovely Kate at our elite affiliates ROBsessed.

 

 

 

OK if you’re wondering about why the mood pic has changed from cheeky to frustrated it’s because I’m kind of over all the comments about Rob’s hair today.  Not that I’m telling you – you must love it, but more so I’m a little perplexed at how many of you don’t know that he’s filming Bel-Ami at the moment.  Perhaps it says more about my obsession to know what he’s working on than anything else, but hey it’s my job.  So here’s a post to explain Rob’s hair (as embarassing as that sounds) because  really I’m just sick of repeating myself.

Bel Ami on the left (he’s just started filming it 2 weeks ago) – BAFTAs on the right

 

Problem solved – be prepared to see this hair for a few months – shock horror.

How could I go past posting this … thanks to @peoplemag *sigh*

 

I’m so happy right now I could cry …

Oh God smoking Georges (altho I doubt they had those ciggies then Rob – hehe)

Thanks to Collider we can confirm that Bel Ami’s major casting has been completed and that principal photography will commence on 7 February 2010.  Not long now – I have so been waiting for this film to start and it’s almost getting impossible to control the “squeeing”.  Seriously if there’s one film I’ve been waiting for it’s this one – it’s one of my favourite classics.   Here’s some of what Collider had to say:

“Robert Pattinson plays Georges Duroy in this erotically charged story of ambition, power and seduction. Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill) is Madeleine, Kristin Scott Thomas (Nowhere Boy, I’ve Loved You So Long) is Virginie, Christina Ricci (Monster, The Ice Storm) is Clotilde, Holly Grainger (Scouting Book for Boys) is Suzanne, Philip Glenister (Life on Mars, Calendar Girls) is Charles, and Colm Meaney (The Damned United, The Snapper) plays Duroy’s adversary, Rousset.  The screenplay is written by Rachel Bennette from the novel by Guy de Maupassant, and the film is directed by the influential and innovative Cheek By Jowl directors Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod.

BEL AMI is produced by Uberto Pasolini (The Full Monty, Machan) with Simon Fuller as executive producer.  The director of photography is Hagen Bogdanski (The Young Victoria, The Lives of Others); Attila F. Kovacs (Sunshine, Meeting Venus) is production designer; the costumes are designed by Odile Dicks-Mireaux (An Education, The Constant Gardener); the hair and make-up designer is Jenny Shircore (The Young Victoria, Elizabeth: The Golden Age) and the editor is Masahiro Hirakubo (The Duchess, Trainspotting).”

If you want to read the full article, please click on the highlighted link above.   I hope we get a glimpse of Rob on set, but I fear that most of this will be shot in doors (not that I’m complaining and for those who have read the book I think you will agree – hehe).

I had heard talk of this,  but thanks to BelAmiMovie, we now have confirmation that Holliday (Holly) Grainger has been cast in the role of Suzanne in Bel-Ami.  We of course all know Holly from her role as Charlie in The Bad Mother’s Handbook where Rob of course played the adorable Daniel Gale.  I think Holly is so sweet & am very happy to hear she will be working alongside Rob once again.  Very very lucky girl.  I just love that pic above, it’s so adorable.   Without giving too much away for those who have not read the book (if you haven’t yet you really must), the character of Suzanne is a very important one.  Those of you who have read the book will understand exactly what I mean.   Screen Daily have also confirmed this news along with a couple of other confirmations on cast members.  So so very excited about this film & just absolutely cannot wait to see Rob as Georges.
