Much adieu has been made about whether The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Little Ashes, and How To Be star Robert Pattinson should take on the lead role in 2011's Memoirs, a love story.
Memoirs, which is being written to screenplay by Will Fetters, according to Hollywood Reporter has been on the Robert Pattinson fans' watch-list for quite some time as his status on the project continues to be unknown and the production company Underground Films and Management has returned no comment on that point.
However, recently, Robert Pattinson's status on the project might have changed - he is no longer "rumor"-ed on IMDb's listing for the film. Not long ago, we saw that Summit Entertainment (the company responsible for distribution of the Twilight series films in the U.S.) was named as the distributor for Memoirs as well. Furthermore, Hollywood Reporter also broke the news that Summit Entertainment executive Brandy Rivers, who "previously served an exec on the production side at Summit, where she worked on projects such as Twilight," was "brought on as a production exec by emerging shingle Underground Films & Management."
UPDATE: One theory being thrown around that I toyed with, but which PB and Pattinson Anonymous have solidified is the idea that the so-called Remember Me project which Rob has been attached to, apparently, is just a renaming of the film Memoirs. What do you think of that? (See here for more on this.)
So, do you think this means it's going to be official any day now? Comment below and let us know!

I can never quite figure out why they don't just make official announcements on this stuff instead of letting everyone try to figure it out and then getting some "leaked" news. By the time the official word is given it's kind of anti-climatic.
I don't understand why Summit takes so long to announce these things, but I'm sure it will be around the corner . I mean they didn't announce the start of production on New Moon until mid April and we all know it began at the end of March. They told us over a month ago that they were in talks with Rob for Memoirs. Maybe they're waiting until they cast the female part. Otherwise it's not a big secret or surprise that Rob will be in this movie. I'm excited about it. It will be nice to see him in something different. And he definitely has the talent.
Uh to be honest I enjoy twilight, but I'm not sure I'll enjoy another nicholas sparks movie. they tend to be overly tearjerking, but i'll watch it anyway if he happens to take up the role, just to see how he does as an actor.
Memoirs is not an adaptation of a Sparks novel. Will Fetters, the screenwriter, just so happens to be adapting one of his novels for another movie. That novel is "The Lucky One"....there is no connection to the Memoirs movie.
If Rob plays in that film it would be kind of cool just to see wnat he is loke to play in apriper seriors film i would love to see it lol:)
*i meant a proper serious film lol
Another cheap Romeo role after all those cheesy teen movies? I expect much more from him but it seems clear now that Pattinson will be just another flavour of the month. He´s just another Hollywood whore like hundreds out there. What a waste of time...
Got something to say?
