Although Robert Pattinson is filming the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon” for Summit Entertainment, the studio has casted Rob for another project about star-crossed lovers.
Rob will play the lead role in “Remember Me,” a story of a young couple whose relationship is complicated by a succession of family tragedies that test their bond, according to ScreenDaily.com. Summit Entertainment is presenting four new titles to buyers at Cannes this year including this film . It has not yet been settled on which actress who will play Pattinson’s love interest.
Summit co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger wouldn’t go into too much detail on the plot but described the film as this generation’s Love Story. Rachel Getting Married writer Jenny Lumet has finished the latest draft of the screenplay.
After “New Moon” wraps in May, Pattinson will head to New York to shoot “Remember Me,” which will finish in time for the actor to begin filming the third “Twilight” movie, “Eclipse,” in August.
Summit is staying tight-lipped about plot specifics, but co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger likened “Remember Me” to “Love Story,” the classic 1970 romance starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal.
