Pattinson eyes Kill Your Friends remake

Melbourne, (ANI): Robert Pattinson wants to star in movie remake of the novel, Kill Your Friends. The actor hopes to play the role of A&R (Artist and Repertoire) man Steven Stelfox in the big-screen adaptation of John Niven"s satire on music industry.

"Rob is a huge fan of the novel. He is fascinated by the music industry and is keen to get involved in the project," the Daily Telegraph quoted a source as telling the Sun. The insider added: "He's already approached producers telling them he wants to play the leading man.

If he bags the role, Pattinson will be seen doing drugs, sleeping with prostitutes and committing murder. The source said, "If he gets the role it would be the darkest part he's ever played. It's an incredibly adult character and is bound to shock the tweens who account for such a huge part of Rob's fan base."
