Earlier this year the Huffington Post covered the revelation by prominent Hollywood screenwriter Dustin Lance Black that he was interested in making former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's story into a feature film.
"I'm always down for politics as humor. I'm also interested in great characters," Black told Variety.
This week, rumors of a Sarah Palin flick have resurfaced.
And for reasons that escape anyone's understanding, Robert Pattinson's name has been thrown into the mix.
Although no screenplay is believed to have already been written, it is thought that Sarah Palin's new bestselling memoir "Going Rogue" will provide the building blocks for a film that some say could star Robert Pattinson as Levi Johnston.
Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
With this rumor likely resulting from the hype surrounding this weekend's release of "New Moon," there's obviously a great effort underway to get Robert Pattinson's name in any headline possible. The latest talk of a Sarah Palin film is bound to prove no different.
Of course, no one is yet speculating as to who might play Sarah Palin in the big-screen version of "Going Rogue."
Stay tuned.

OMG!!!! ?Robert Pattinson? is so freakin HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!?????
He would never do that, thats too lame of a project.
sarah palin is the biggest retard in the entire world, Robert Pattinson would never stoop as low to feature in a movie about sarah palin. He is way to good for that and way to sexy.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A SARAH PALIN MOVIE! SHE IS HORRIBLE! I WON'T WATCH ANY INTERVIEWS WITH HER AND WOULD NEVER READ HER BOOK. SHE IS AWFUL. DO NOT MAKE THIS MOVIE, PLEASE! I WOULD RATHER SEE A MOVIE DONE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HER. AND DO NOT EVEN MENTION ROB PATTINSON'S NAME IN THE SAME "BREATH" AS HERS. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK.
robert pattinson would never play a douchebag
Rpazz wouldn't do such a weird movie. He's just not that into politics. The fans know his style, and it's NOT political humor.
Unless he wanted to. I wonder why his name was in there. Did he show an intrest? audition? ooo swoon. Sorry 'yall, MTV special flasback (rofl...*blush) But if his publicist wanted him to, maybe. Did you see the way she was dragging him around to different places on the red carpet of New Moon premiere? lol. Luv ya Rob, no matter what movie you go for.
Yeah, you're right. If people (if people can be a proper definition of the skunkbags we call media) find out about his name in the mix, they'll go bonkers. That's why we DON"T GIVE AWAY THIS INFORMATION. Trust me, the fans will appreciate you more if you stop posting all this Twilight crap!! We're all getting sick of it, no matter how obsessed you are.
Now they'll cover stories on it, and somebody else will catch onto the PalinPattinson trend, and NOBODY wants those two names tacked together.
See how we get into this cycle?
You don't?
Oh, you're not even reading this comment?
WELL TOO BAD.
TWILIGHTERS UNITE!! BOYCOTT TWILIGHT NEWS SO WE CAN SHOW THE MEDIA WE WON"T STOOP TO THEIR TABLOID PUBLISHING LEVEL!!
Horrah, horrah. Take everything I say with a grain of salt.
To you, I'm psychotic.
Woa there lol. It's not the end of the world. CALM DOWN
:) I love spunk ransom. I'm so happy he's made it this far. And SOO down to earth! <3 I think he got it from the Harry Potter crew. OMG i loooove Daniel Radcliff too!!
Since when does a political comedy movie team up with Robert Pattenson? Twilight is seriously stalking me. Everywhere. I. Go.
sarah palin is an awful figure. i can't beleive she wrote a book. who would want to model after her? she lost the campaign, and she has no morals.
This is Sarah Palin. I'm publicly announcing that I SUCK and that noone loves me. Please don't team me up with Robert. I dont want to tarnish his dirt ridden name.
OME New Moon is being premiered right now!! I'm so happy for the cast and crew and that they've made it this far!!
But i do have something to confess..
No, I'm going to vow (right here on the viral internet, pretty binding, huh?)
That I will not look at a single thing on eclipse until the movie comes out.
The end.
GOODBYE< MY LOVE!!
Yes she wrote a book! Oprah said today that it was already going to be a best seller! It's about all of the hardships her family went through on the campaign trail, and I think she's brilliant. The media just made her out to be an awful figure, twisted everything she said! :( poor sarah
they already know it's going to be a movie?
it's not even in stores yet.
wow..
this is all stupid.
yay, robert!
expanding his horizions a little, eh?
:) he's soooo sexy and smokin HAWT!
LOVE YOU!!!!!
twlight, twilight,
i hove twilight
it's a, love-hate,
relationship for me!
wooooooo!
how'd you like it?? :D everyone's commenting so i thought id post something. lolz
that doesn't even rhyme, you idiot.
I kind of liked it.
crystalized love in a trinket heart and wolf,
three hearts, two alive
one prize
but she is more shy and devoted.
Who will it be?
Burn me up?
Or ice my heart?
She, being the more feisty,
would rather freeze than be with a werewolf
who loves her so.
TEAM EDWARD

that was a VERY good poem!! :D
LOVE YOU ROBERT!
I will go see any movie Rob is in, even if it's with Sarah Palin. I just don't see him doing this movie.
But if his name was in the mix...
Then that's fine with me. Appreciate the hard work, Mr. Pattinson. Love your music, too.
he might actually be good in that role. Of course, I'm very biased. I'm in love with robert, you see.
And my names Kristen Stewart.
I dont know if anyone will beleive this, but haha it's your fault. :) I sound completly idiotic, but im me and i wanted to comment, so.. have a question.
why are there so many comments on this stupid post? love the fans,
Krstew
please say it isn't so!! hope Rob runs as far as he can rather than portray that loser!!
Got something to say?
