Robert Pattinson to star with Scarlett Johansson?

Robert Pattinson is reportedly close to signing on to new flick Hate Mail with the actress. But what will Kristen Stewart think?

Robert Pattinson's certainly a busy boy. Since finishing the Twilight movies, he has hit the publicity trail for Bel Ami, been hard at work on Cosmopolis, and even signed on to star in a Saddam Hussein thriller. And now it seems he's got yet another project in the pipeline.

According to movie insiders, hardworking Robert Pattinson is close to signing on to new movie Hate Mail with none other than Hollywood beauty, Scarlett Johansson.

Rumour has it, the project has been in the works since the beginning of the year, with producer Michael Benaroya tipped to take charge.

Few details are known about the movie, although earlier this year Variety reported it 'will feature interweaving stories about several Manhattanites who encounter various iterations of hate mail and grapple with the subsequent fallout of their relationships.'

Although if we're brutally honest, we're not even so fussed about the plot line.

Robert Pattinson and Scarlett Johansson? In the same movie? Now that's a different matter.
