Robert Pattinson will star opposite fellow talented Brit Carey Mulligan (“An Education”, “Drive”) in “Hold On To Me”, a James Marsh directed drama about “a femme fatale who with her boyfriend kidnaps and ransoms the town’s richest man. They bury him in a box and things go horribly awry”, says Deadline.

Pattinson, who next appears in the final “Twilight” film, will play the supporting role of the woman’s life love, Jimmy, who isn’t involved in the crime.

The film, being shopped at AFM, was written by Brad Ingelsby.
