Robert Pattinson Sinks His Teeth Into 'Memoirs'

It's tough to fault any of the moves Summit Entertainment has made in the past six months since all this Twilight stuff really took hold. About the only thing I can come up with is that maybe the studio is rushing the sequels into theaters. But the DVD thing was huge and the studio's other projects, like Knowing, the new number one movie in the country, have hit the mark. And now Summit has secured the talents of Robert Pattinson for a non-Twilight film called Memoirs. It's being described as a romantic drama and Variety says that Allen Coulter (Hollywoodland) will direct and that Rachel Getting Married writer Jenny Lumet is being targeted to re-write a script by Will Fetters. Memoirs "centers on a pair of star-crossed lovers who meet and fall in love while struggling to deal with family tragedies that threaten their relationship." And one of them is a vampire! OK, maybe not. There's no production date yet, but this could be one of those projects the studio tries to slide in between the filming of New Moon and Eclipse. If not, then this would probably need to wait until the fall or early next year.
