Robert Pattinson Not Set for Jolie Movie ‘Unforgiven’

Truth rating: 1

Reports emerged yesterday that Angelina Jolie will develop a film based on a BBC miniseries called Unforgiven. The potential project would grow from the same partnership behind Jolie’s upcoming Bosnian War movie.

Now rumors are buzzing that Robert Pattinson is also attached to Unforgiven.

“There’s speculation in the wind that Robert Pattinson has been tapped for this project,” reports Lainey Gossip. The actor met late last year with Jolie attorney Robert Offer, observes the site, “so his recent trip to see [her movie] Salt with his agent is suddenly rife with new possibility.”

While it’s always possible a high-profile actor like Pattinson could join Unforgiven — especially, as the site notes, to demonstrate his range — as of now, he is not involved.

A Pattinson insider tells Gossip Cop that rumors connecting him to the film are inaccurate.

Gossip Cop will follow all developments.

    Lainey Gossip, Showbiz Spy, Hollywoodlife equal dishrags. Deadline, Variety, The Wrap equal reliable sources. It’s that simple. I do rather enjoy seeing Lainey Gossip slammed. She is on a lower rung than D lister Perez Hilton, but she tries to act like she has juice in the business. Well done Gossipcop. One slow news week false rumor at a time.

    Next up: Someone says Joe Jonas and Justin Bieber fight to play a villain in Batman 3. I’m confident that there is an internet site writing that as we speak.

    @truthbtold No question the 12 year old girls at Hollywoodlife are already pasting ‘The Biebs’ and JoeJo’s heads onto the Riddler’s body. Isn’t Bonnie Fuller, who runs that fuschia explosion of barf, 60 years old? Even though you elevated them, you’re right it’s a “dishrag.”

  • truthbtold

    @Sam I would like to believe that Hollywoodlife is full of 12 year old but I think that is just the age of their mind, not their bodies. I think ol Fuller may be older than that. I shouldn’t have given them the Bieber-Jonas exclusive but I like to throw a bone every now and then.
    I am an Angelina fan and I hope she does not sign onto this movie. I am more excited about her behind the camera work. Still it is flattering that the writer of The Usual Suspects wants to work with her. Some people in Hollywood only act but if you really want to be successful you have to get on the writing team or behind the camera at some point. I remember Brad Pitt gave Jennifer Anniston $27 million and he got the production company. She is doing stupid movies like The Switch and he is making films. It was worth the money. Also for Robert Pattinson to be considered for any sought after typically male role he would have to show commitment. His male fans are in the less than five percent range and he does not have one good movie on his resume so far. I think all that can change with Water for Elephants but I’ve yet to see it.

  • MissZee

    You didn’t think Remember Me or Little Ashes was a good movie he was in???

  • grace_OK

    Robert and Angelina together in a movie?! WIN if it’s true…their fans will crash theatres…

  • kate

    Oh please as if Angelina Jolie would ever even consider working alongside a underrated actor like Rob. I agree with truthbtold. I say Rob must have like 5 male fans if any. As far as I can see hes a joke to men everywhere. I doubt thats going to change anytime soon.

  • truthbtold

    @MissZee I didn’t see Little Ashes. The trailer didn’t interest me. I did see Remember. I didn’t think he was good and neither was the movie. There were okay moments but most of it was overacting or just bad acting. Robert hasn’t made his mark in the eyes of Hollywood yet. He is not on the list of the guys under 30 that studios and directors go to. He really needs to play an against type role or he’ll be cast as the romantic hero in every film. It wouldn’t hurt him to ugly himself up a little and take a supporting role. He really needs to start building his male fan base or get some decent reviews for his acting. I still like him and I see potential. His part in Water for Elephants could do a lot for his career. Twilight isn’t going to do anything for it. That’s for sure.

    @Kate I wouldn’t say Rob is a joke, he’s just untested. He needs a role that draws the male audience. Men like Christoph Waltz. He is in Water for Elephants. They will see Robert too. He is only 24 so there is still time.

  • MissZee

    @kate, if you believe he is a joke, then don’t respond to any rumors that are about him…just sayin

  • klue90

    I hope this is true. Robert Pattinson is truly talented. I think this role is perfect for him to earn a male fanbase and new audience. The role is dark and action packed. Way different from something he has ever done before. I love Angelina Jolie too! She is so gorgeous, talented, exotic, and sexy. There is no sex icon like her. She captures every scene with her beauty and acting. If Rob works with her, she will make him look like Johnny Depp onscreen. She’s that good. Loved her in Salt.

  • musicadhd

    @Kate How is he a joke to men everywhere? Based on a previous comment of yours regarding Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, I’d say your opinion on his acting abilities is biased and I can’t take it seriously. It is not completely ridiculous to think that someone like Angelina Jolie would work with Robert Pattinson. Other OUTSTANDING celebrities have worked with him and have said that it was a pleasure to do so. Why would Angelina be any different? Your opinion is your opinion; however, I can’t help but to think that the reason you think he’s “a joke to men everywhere” isn’t strictly because of his acting abilities.

    And, by the way, yes, you’re right. He is UNDERrated. Hopefully, that’ll change in the future.

    Truthbtold, I agree with you about how Robert has potential. He does have a lot of work to do, but I think he’s heading in a good direction as far as his movie role choices. I think he’s trying to get out of that whole “teen heart throb” title that he’s been slapped with and so far I think his movie choices following Twilight is going to do it. I really can’t wait to see Bel Ami and Water for Elephants. I think his acting is better depending on what type of movie it is. In my opinion he did good in Remember me, but the movie itself wasn’t that great. However, in Little Ashes, I really do think he did well in that one. In the few movies he has done, to me, that’s the best one.

    In response to the article, I think it would be amazing to have Angelina and Robert working with one another. I honestly don’t know what to expect from the possibility, though. If the information does turn into being accurate and I hear more of what the movie is about, then I’d probably get a better picture of it in my head.

  • amam85

    Would be AWESOME if true! Huge fan of Rob’s and any movie he does. Starting to warm up to Angelina a bit.

  • Alina

    @Kate
    umm… Full of sh*t much?
    Last time i checked Rob was busy this summer shooting for Water For Elephants with two Oscar winners Christoph Waltz & Reese Witherspoon. What are you talking about?
    as for ‘male fans’ well, Leo,Johhny Depp, Brad Pitt etc They all had the same problem and look where they are now.

  • MissZee

    which is true…Leo D and Johnny Depp did have the same problem…Rob just hasn’t found his right genre of movies…it seems Leo works best when he dies in his movies (sadly it’s true) and Johnny Depp works best when he’s a pirate (LOL)

  • lala

    I have to defend Lainey she was reporting rumors and then joking about the war between the “Loons” and the Twihards that could ensue (see comments above) if the reports were true. She also noted that AJ has script approval of all of her movies and doesn’t sign on until the script is completed the actual role sounds perfect for her though . In the abstract I say why not. Robert is already working with Reese Withersppon and Christopher Waltz and they are both Oscar winners. I don’t think Robert has proved himself as an actor yet but he seems serious and we can wait and see sadly for every Johnny Depp and Leo Dicaprio there are dozens of teen sensations that have been long forgotten.

  • Satine8541

    @truthbtold, ITA with everything u stated in your first comment, except for Remember Me, I agree he definitely needs seasoning, however, I thought in RM he gave a very good and moving performance especially acting against Ruby Jerins, who portrays his sister Caroline, who is exceptional as well. He needs to draw the men in or he can forget about his career, many may disagree but it is the truth if u want a long career as an actor in the film industry. I think each performance outside of the Twilight Saga becomes progressively better and I do believe the reason why is that he is working with a better caliber of actors he admires and who can show him what he needs to progress in his career. He has great potential and I do hope that this article eventually comes to pass. I would luv to see him work w/Angelina Jolie who I admire greatly for her acting ability. I believe WFE will be the turning point (crossing fingers), however he needs to work more on his craft and he is going to have to draw in those male viewers in order to be a real success in the film industry. I wish him well and hope he does get the film role.

  • truthbtold

    @Satine I am a huge Angelina fan too. Kristen is the young equivalent of her to me. They both have that non conformist, almost masculinity that makes them somewhat androgynous. If they teamed up, I would explode.]]
    I’d rather see Rob work with Brad Pitt, particularly in a good Fincher film. It would be good for him to do a movie with a known male movie star that men respect.

    Remember Me was just not my cup of tea. I will say that a lot of critics didn’t even give it a chance once they found out RP was playing the part. That is unfair anyway you look at it. Someone above mentioned Leonard. He was Oscar nominated and had impressed several top people before he became the heartthrob. Johnny Depp’s association with both Hunter Thompson and Tim Burton set his career on fire. It helped him gain male fans that didn’t like him because they thought he was too good looking. Brad’s work in Seven and 12 Monkey’s introduced him to a male audience. I really do see potential in Rob and he has my respect because of his relationship with Kristen Stewart. It takes a strong man that is secure in himself to date a woman like her. The potential is there and now he needs the right role. There are a couple of scripts floating around Hollywood that I think he would be right for. I hope he reads his offerings carefully and doesn’t just take the next romantic lead. He could end up being a great actor.

  • klue90

    @truthbtold I agree with you about Rob choosing the right projects to become the great actor he could be but I don’t agree with you about Kristen being anything like Angelina. Quite the opposite. Angelina is not masculine at all. She is badass and fierce but very feminine and lady like at the same time. Rob and her would truly make a dreamy and deadly combo onscreen

  • truthbtold

    @klue Both Angelina and Kristen can be very girly. They like clothes and makeup like every. Kristen is badass as seen in The Runaways. She does remind me of Angie and a lot of people in Angie’s fan communities have made this association. That’s just my opinion. I use the term masculine because neither Angelina or Kristen conform to the traditional standards of the stereotypical woman. Salt was written for a man, but Angelina played the part well. The director of Wanted 2 has expressed interest in casting Kristen as an assassin. That is why Kristen is my favorite young actress and Angelina is my favorite middle aged actress.

    As for Rob, I stand by what I have said. I actually like his British accent, so I hope he does do a movie where he can use his real voice. Someone also told me he sings, and there are some music biopics coming up. As I always say, the potential is there. It’s all about it coming together. People compare Robert to Orlando Bloom but Bloom was never all that talented. He was cast for his looks. Rob may actually have talent.

  • MissZee

    @truthbtold, it’s true Robert can sing…I think his voice is soulful..like the blues….and I thought people were comparing him to James Dean

  • truthbtold

    @MissZee I may check Rob’s music out. All young male actors are compared to Brando and Dean. No one will ever be that so in my opinion it’s stupid. I remember seeing something where he was compared to Bloom and Efron so they came to mind.

    @klue Angelina is a pilot, has professional gun and knife training, and rides motorcycles. Those are all typically masculine things. Kristen plays electric guitar, golfs, and drives a big truck. That’s what I mean by their androgyny. Both of them also have a lot of straight women and men in love with them.

    I’ll catch you guys when another publication does a story about Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart. Later.
