Twilight star Robert Pattinson will reportedly play a villain opposite actress Angelina Jolie in a new movie. 

Pattinson might play one of the sons of the two policemen murdered by Jolie's character in a new Clint Eastwood movie Unforgiven. The movie is based on the television mini series by BBC.

His character will be involved in a revenge campaign against the woman, played by Mrs. Brad Pitt, who was eventually released after fifteen years of imprisonment for the crime. The woman murdered two policemen after they attempted to evict her and her family from the farmhouse where they live. 

The project is being developed with Jolie in mind; but she has not committed to it yet. 

Lainey Gossip reports that "there's speculation in the wind that Robert Pattinson has been tapped for this project." The actor met late last year with Angelina Jolie's  attorney Robert Offer, "so his recent trip to see [her movie] Salt with his agent is suddenly rife with new possibility."
