Robert Pattinson is going from Bella to Bel Ami.

As if the news that Breaking Dawn, the fourth installment of the Twilight series, was officially a go didn't put Pattinson fans into enough of a twitter, the burgeoning star has just guaranteed yet another opportunity to see his swoon-worthy visage on the big screen.

According to Variety, Pattinson is set to star in Bel Ami, an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's short story about a morally corrupt, power-hungry playboy journalist. Pattinson will play the rogue writer; Bel Ami is his nickname.

"It's a totally amoral character," Pattz told Variety.

Declan Donnellan directs the film, which will shoot in Paris early next year.
