Ricci has shared screen time with Hollywood heartthrobs her entire life—Depp (on three separate occasions), Justin Timberlake, and Orlando Bloom—but the collective scream reached fever pitch earlier this year when she filmed Bel Ami, an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s story of corruption and social climbing, with Twilight superstar Robert Pattinson. Featuring a stacked deck of formidable actors, including Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas, Bel Ami tells the story of George Duroy, a scheming, power-hungry womanizer brought to life by Pattinson. Ricci plays Clotilde de Marelle, one of Duroy’s many conquests.
“I read the book when I was 13,” she says. “It was one of my tutor’s favorite stories, so there was a lot of discussion about it my entire life. Getting the part was one of those things that made me sort of believe in…” Realizing she’s stumbled dangerously close to earnest territory, she cuts herself short, and then, with a slight eye roll, says, “Well, fate. But, yeah, Rob’s fans are crazy. We filmed in London, and they were always around base camp, gathered at the barriers.”

Bel Ami Movie UK did some investigation on the Bel Ami release dates and came up with these answers:
1 – Has Bel Ami gained distributors yet for the 3 remaining areas? ~ “NOT YET”
2 – We have heard from a Swedish source that Bel Ami is likely to view
at either the Berlin or Cannes film festivals next year and if that is
the case will release be delayed until after both these events? ~ “YES”
3 – Are there any plans to release any more promotional material in
the near future? ~ “NO”
Thanks to Bel Ami Movie UK
According to studiocanal.com, the film’s French distributor, the Bel Ami release date is May 18, 2011.
(Note: The date also falls in the middle of Cannes film festival which is 11 to 22 May 2011)

Here’s a video from April when Rob was filming Bel Ami in Budapest. Not sure we posted it before, but some parts seem new to me.

“While she’s thrilled to be in Toronto promoting “Sarah’s Key” during TIFF, Kristin Scott Thomas told Rick that she has lots of other projects going on.
She says she feels lucky working with Robert Pattinson on “Bel Ami”: “Heaven!”

Was Broadway always part of your plan?
No, I had terrible stage fright, so people eventually stopped bringing it up. But when I was coming back from making Bel Ami with Robert Pattinson, my agent, who also represents Laura Linney, asked me if I wanted to read for Time Stands Still, and I completely forgot I had stage fright. Literally, walking home from the audition, I was like, Oh, shit, I just remembered I hate acting in front of people. So now I’m sort of ignoring it.
I love how casually you just namedropped R-Patz. Are you a Twilight fan?
OK, first of all, publicists train you to say your credits along with your costars. You can’t be shy about self-promotion; it’s like Kathy Griffin or something. [Laughs] I’m a very lazy pop culture fan—if it involves leaving my living room, I’m pretty clueless—so I’ve never seen a single Twilight movie, and I guess I missed it when it was on Starz. But Rob’s a lovely individual.
Do you two share a love scene in Bel Ami?
We do. But he’s like your best friend’s little brother, so we would just laugh and make fun of each other the entire time. He thought it was outrageous how comfortable I was being naked. I was like, “That’s because I’m 20 years older than you.” Seriously, I’ve never felt so old in my entire life.
