There are rumors floating around the world wide web today that Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson will team with his most famous leading lady yet - Australian beauty Nicole Kidman.

Although the production leak has been attributed to numerous media outlets including JustJared.com, the reports all point to one story - Robert Pattinson and Nicole Kidman will steam up the big screen in the forthcoming erotic thriller "Bel Ami," derived from a short story by Guy De Maupassant.

The film revolves around an enterprising youth (Robert Pattinson) who makes the transition from lowly French soldier in the 1890s to a powerful journalist by sleeping his way to success.

Although Pattinson's rep is saying the reports aren't true, some close to the young star say that New Moon producers simply want any movie buzz about Robert Pattinson to be directed to New Moon until the upcoming second Twilight installment runs its course in theaters.
