Robert Pattinson on Breaking Dawn, Unbound Captives and Bel Ami

Lots of interesting little facts came out of the New Moon press junket held Friday, November 6th in LA, and among the little tidbits was an update on the fourth film of the series, Breaking Dawn. While nothing was confirmed by Summit, and no one would address the rumors concerning the possibility of splitting Breaking Dawn into a two-part film (like Warner Bros has done with the last Harry Potter book of the franchise), Robert Pattinson offered up what he's been told: "I think the tentative [start date] for Breaking Dawn is fall of next year. I think. They may well change that."

Pattinson's 2010 schedule is filling up, but the handsome actor who plays Edward Cullen in the Twilight series will definitely make room for Breaking Dawn, no matter how full his dance card winds up being.

"Depending on how things go, I'm doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, which is an adaptation of a Guy de Maupassant novel. And, I hope I'm doing a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman, called Unbound Captives, sometime around there as well. They've got to try to work around everybody's schedules and stuff," revealed Pattinson when asked what's in store for the coming year.

Unbound Captives is a film project Pattinson seems very enthusiastic about, and fingers crossed production on actress Madeleine Stowe's directorial debut will get underway sometime in 2010. "I'm playing a kid who is kidnapped by the Comanches, when he was four years old, and he's brought up by them. His mother spends her entire life trying to find me and my sister, and when she finds us, we can't remember who she is or anything about the Western culture that we grew up in. They speak Comanche, the whole movie. You can't really be more different from Edward," said Pattinson.

Pattinson, who'll have to learn Comanche for the role, said it wasn't because of the fact his character will be so different from Edward that prompted him to sign on to Unbound Captives. "I actually signed on to that after I had done Twilight, in the summer, just a couple of months after I finished. It was really before anything had happened, so I wasn't really thinking about it. It was just a cool script and it reminded me, in a lot of ways, of Giant, which is one of my favorite movies. I think that's why I responded to it."
