Robert Pattinson exits Saddam Hussein thriller
Written by . Published: April 29 2014
Actor Robert Pattinson has bowed out of the upcoming Saddam Hussein-related thriller Mission: Blacklist.
The Twilight star was slated to play the lead role in the film about the hunt for fallen Iraqi dictator Hussein, but he has dropped out of the project due to scheduling issues, according to TheWrap.com.
Pattinson has been attached to the film as real-life military
interrogator Eric Maddox since May, 2012. Maddox spearheaded the
hunt for Hussein in 2003, and wrote the book that inspired the film
project.
After Pattinson's role is recast, filmmakers hope to start
production this autumn (14).
