Robert Pattinson cast as Saddam Hussein capturer

[n2doc]

With "The Twilight Saga" coming to an end in November when "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" is released, the career makeover for star Robert Pattinson continues. Yesterday, news broke that Pattinson has been cast to play the man who led the capture of Saddam Hussein in "Mission: Blacklist," based on the book "Mission: Black List #1" by military interrogator Eric Maddox with Davin Seay. It's the latest in a series of roles Pattinson has selected to set himself up for a legitimate post-"Twilight" acting career, including playing Salvador Dali in "Little Ashes," working with Reese Witherspoon in "Water For Elephants," and manning the lead in director David Cronenberg's buzzworthy upcoming drama, "Cosmopolis."

1. You're kidding---

Saddam is now a vampire.

Now that would be a cool movie.

2. Will he glitter and sparkle?

3. Interesting choice.

I would have expected someone older. He's around 25. I would think that someone running the show was older. Unless they're talking about the man on the ground.

I would have pictured someone beefier like Channing Tatum. However, that's what acting is all about. Casting helps, but, if you have the talent, you can pretend to be anyone.

BTW, for the Twilight fans, today is the official last day of shooting:

5. More propaganda.

I'll Pass.

7. Who will get the part of the guy who inspected Saddam's teeth?

That's the money role. I hope the werewolf guy gets it just to show him up.
