Robert Pattinson Backs Out of Film

Robert Pattinson had to bail from his film project, Parts Per Billion, an independent film by Rosario Dawson, who also has a role in the flick. Filming was set to begin this month in Los Angeles.

"Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on New Moon haven’t left enough time for Robert to work on Parts Per Billion in the first quarter of this year,"  Pattinson’s rep, Nicholas Frenkel, told MTV.

Pattinson was scheduled to shoot passionate love scenes with actress Olivia Thirlby (Juno), but fans will not get to see that.

Pattinson will also star in the films Little Ashes on March 27 and How To Be, which doesn’t yet have an opening date.
