Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci have joined Robert Pattinson in the cast of Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's "
Bel Ami," backers said Tuesday.
The project details the story of a young man played by Pattinson in 1890s Paris who seduces his way to wealth and fame from a poor beginning. Sex and celebrity feature heavily in de Maupassant's novel and the big screen adaptation will also include turns from Holly Grainger, Philip Glenister and Colm Meaney.
