Gemini71 here,

I don't know if this news is genuine or some b*******t rumour that someone on the internet cooked up, so don't take this is actual fact - it may not be true. According to one of Robert Pattinson's websites, he and Holly Grainger(his co-star from 'The Bad Mother's Handbook') are meant to be starring together in a movie project called 'Bel Ami'. As her name isn't in the IMDB cast list, I am going to have go to some of the Pattinson fan resources and see if this news is correct. I'll keep you posted on subsequent developments.

Regards,
Gemini71.

This possible news originated from the Bel Ami IMDB board. There is a poster who sometimes drops little bits of information about the movie-- she supposedly is working on the production team in some way.
She is the one who told us that Christina Ricci would be cast in Bel Ami before any of the news sites had the story and before it was confirmed.

Z-Aminya,

I would love this to be true. However, I have to exhibit a healthy scepticism about this showbiz news story. Holly Grainger is an unknown actress in America, so the film's distributors might go for someone more well-known, to ensure the film has a very good chance of getting its money back. That having been said, it would mean a hell of a lot to me if Miss Grainger is officially chosen for the part of Suzanne.

Regards,

I hope they do go for Holly-- she looks right for the part in my opinion, and Rob must think highly of her (I imagine he must have had something to do with this), and this could be a great break for her into the big screen.

They already have Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas, along with Rob Pattinson. But I think it is hard to sell a period piece, so we can keep our fingers crossed until something is confirmed.

They should start shooting in a couple of weeks in London, then after Easter in Hungary.

I just wanted to spread the news that this site is saying the casting of Holly has been confirmed. I'm excited about the choice and happy she is getting this opportunity.
