What better way to kick off the new year than with a detailed analysis of what 2012 has in store for our favorite "Twilight" lovebirds, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart?
In addition to the highly anticipated franchise finale, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," Pattinson and Stewart both have other projects on the horizon. For this week's "Twilight" Tuesday, we examine the superstars' next must-see movies.
On Pattinson's slate, there are two films of note: the saucy period piece "Bel Ami" and the David Cronenberg-directed drama "Cosmopolis." Neither film has an official release date yet, but because "Bel Ami" opens in the U.K. on March 2, we hope that means a U.S. release will soon follow. Pattinson and co-star Uma Thurman have not underplayed the fact that there is a lot of sex in the movie, which is evident in the trailer, and there's also plenty of Pattinson's "crack" — his words, not ours.
For the one or two Pattinson fans not interested in seeing their favorite actor's bare bum in "Ami," perhaps "Cosmopolis" will suit your needs. The story is based on Don DeLillo's novel of the same name and revolves around young multimillionaire Eric Packer (Pattinson) through a single day as he attempts to cross Manhattan in order to get his hair cut. According to Cronenberg, it's a role that really showcases Pattinson's acting chops.
"Really, he's fantastic. He's sensational," Cronenberg told MTV News. "Really, I'm telling you. He's a great actor. It's obvious in the movie. It's not like maybe yes, maybe no. It's obvious."
Switching gears toward Stewart's 2012 film forecast, the 21-year-old has a very busy year ahead of her, with the release of "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "On the Road."
Fans first get to see Stewart's sword-wielding skills as Snow White in Rupert Sanders' new telling of the classic fairy tale. "Snow White and the Huntsman" — or "SWATH," as it's been commonly referred to on the Internet — opens June 1 and shows us a side of Stewart we haven't yet seen. Stewart has been gushing about the project since filming began and might even be hoping for sequels.
"I've got stars in my eyes. I'm literally over the moon about what I'm doing right now," she told MTV News of her work on "Huntsman."
After that, we'll have a look at the long-awaited "On the Road," which doesn't officially have a release date but has been rumored to debut at some point during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. The film — based on Jack Kerouac's beloved semiautobiographical treatise on the Beat Generation and his road trips with a collection of colorful characters — features an eclectic cast, including Garrett Hedlund, Tom Sturridge, Kirsten Dunst, Sam Riley, Amy Adams, Viggo Mortenson and Steve Buscemi.
Who has the edge here? We have lots of naked Pattinson vs. a sword-wielding Stewart — it's very tough to call. Not to mention the fact that they'll be back onscreen together in "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" on November 16. Perhaps the 2012 winners will be fans of the "Twilight" twosome!
