Robert Pattinson to hunt down Saddam Hussein in “Mission: Blacklist”


by Dimitris Ioannou

“The Twilight Saga” star Robert Pattinson is joining the army, but only for the movies. The young actor has signed for the leading role in the movie “Mission: Blacklist” where he'll play military interrogator Eric Maddox, the man who spearheaded the investigation to find out where former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein was hiding.

The film is based on Maddox's book “Mission: Blacklist #1”. The director of “Johnny Mad Dog” Jean-Stephane Sauvaire is leading the project, while the adaptation for the screen and the production is by Erik Jendersen, mostly known from HBO's TV mini-series “Band of Brothers” in 2001.

“Mission: Blacklist” is scheduled to be sold at the upcoming Cannes Film Market. Robert Pattinson will be at Cannes Film Festival for David Cronenberg's “Cosmopolis” which is competing for the Palme d'Or prize.
