Robert Pattinson To Star in Military Thriller MISSION: BLACKLIST

Robert Pattinson is set to star in a new military interrogation thriller called Mission: Blacklist from directorJean-Stéphane Sauvaire.

The movie is described as a psychological thriller that details the true, inside story of the search for Saddam Hussein and the interrogator, Eric Maddox, who spearheaded his capture. The movie is based on the novel Mission: Black List #1, which was written by military interrogator Eric Maddox with Davin Seay. The book was adapted into a screenplay by Band of Brothers writer and producer Erik Jendresen. 

As a fan of the military and movies about them, this sounds like a very intriguing movie. Producer Ross M. Dinerstein had this to say in a statement:

This movie is a gripping, edge of your seat thriller. I have been inspired by Robert and Jean-Stéphane’s dedication to tell this story in the most authentic way possible, and I’m thrilled to add Hugo and Tim to our team.

I know many of you are turned off by Robert Pattinson for the fact that he did those Twilight movies, but the guy is more talented than that; lets face it, when he did those movies he needed a job. He will next be seen in the crazy looking David Cronenberg film Cosmopolis. And this Mission: Blacklist sounds like a cool movie as well.
