Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson is all set for an outing with none other than Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman as the duo are reportedly expected to share screen space in a new movie.

While nothing has been confirmed, the story is that the 42-year-old actress is considering the script for Bel Ami, described as an "erotic tale of ambition and seduction", Daily Telegraph reported.

Based on Guy de Maupassant's erotic novel of the same name, the plot revolves around a young man who rises to the top of Parisian society in the 1890s, via the bed-chambers of the city's most powerful women.

Pattinson has given a go ahead to act in the film while Kidman's nod to star with the British actor is still awaited.
