Robert Pattinson has been forced to pull out of a new independent film Parts Per Billion to star in Twilight sequel new moon.
The British actor – who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the movie franchise and is fast becoming one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars – was scheduled to shoot the movie in early 2009, but studio executives are keen to start the cameras rolling on New Moon in a bid to ride on the success of its predecessor.
So, the 22-year-old can no longer be involved in Parts Per Billion.
His representative tells MTV news, “What you heard is correct.
“Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on ‘New Moon’ haven’t left enough time for Robert to work on Parts per Billion in the first quarter of this year.”
As much as I would’ve loved to have seen the “lustful” scenes that were talked about for this movie (and imagined myself in Olivia thirlby’s place) i’m glad he’s committed to “edward” and new moon right now. we’ll see Rob in new stuff soon enough! Now.. can someone PLEASE find him? he’s been hiding since he arrived in london on 12/22 and i don’t like it!
