Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart rent cosy Cannes pad

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are reportedly renting a private villa for some 'quality time' together

They've been kicking up a publicity storm with a string of secret dates in London this week, but it seems Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart can't wait to get out of the limelight. The pair are both due at Cannes Film Festival this month, but have apparently rented a private villa for some 'quality time' together during their stay.

ROB AND KRISTEN TO STAR IN NEW MOVIE?

Rob and Kristen will both appear at the swanky film event to publicise their respective new movies, Kristen's Jack Kerouac adaptation On the Road, and Rob's David Cronenberg's thriller Cosmopolis.

But according to the Sun, the Twilight couple have shunned the resort's five-star hotels and glittering centre, in favour of some peace and quiet.

It's thought Rob and Kristen have rented a small private villa just outside the French town for the duration of their stay.

Sources say that, after a whirlwind year, the pair want to spend some 'quality time' together, and are planning to hole themselves up in the secluded pad during their stay.

Earlier this week it was revealed we could see the Pattinson-Stewart pairing back on-screen soon, after Kristen admitted she's 'dying' to star in another film with Rob.

When asked if she'd consider appear with Rob in a movie remake of steamy new book Fifty Shades of Grey, loosely based on Twilight characters Edward and Bella, (we're pretty sure she doesn't what it's actually about) Kristen said she'd definitely consider it.

'I haven't read the book yet, so I don't know,' she told gossip website Celebuzz.

'I'm dying to make another movie with Rob. I think that we're a good team.'

Well that makes two of us.
