Rob Pattinson Takes The Lead

MTV is reporting that Rob has officially taken the lead role in “Remember Me.”

Pattinson will play the lead role in “Remember Me,” a story of a young couple whose burgeoning relationship is complicated by a succession of family tragedies that test their bond, according to ScreenDaily.com. The makers of the film, which had previously been titled “Memoirs,” have not yet settled on which actress who will play Pattinson’s love interest.

Emmy-winning director Allen Coulter (”The Sopranos,” “Damages”) will direct, and Jenny Lumet, who penned the script for last year’s critical darling “Rachel Getting Married,” is working on a draft of the screenplay.

After “New Moon” wraps in May, Pattinson will head to New York to shoot “Remember Me,” which will finish in time for the actor to begin filming the third “Twilight” movie, “Eclipse,” in August.

I'm all for more Rob DVD's for me to obsess over.
