For many, Robert Pattinson will for ever be the sparkly vampire Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga,” but there are also those who are rooting for him, to forge a career in movies outside this franchise.

For these, we have the official US trailer for the period piece “Bel Ami.”

Boasting an enviable cast, the film has already played at a couple of festivals to mixed reviews. Nevertheless, chances are fans want to see it for themselves to make up their mind on it.

And here's more good news: “Bel Ami” has also gotten a US release date. It will be out on VOD on May 4 and in theaters later, starting June 8, 2012.

Directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, “Bel Ami” also stars Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci, Colm Meaney, Philip Glenister and Holliday Grainger, and sees Pattinson as the original playboy.
