Director Francis Lawrence (Constantine, I Am Legend) makes a huge genre shift with this adaptation of Sara Gruen’s best-seller. Richard LaGravenese handled the script, which merged two of the novel’s darkest characters into a singular evil entity; it’s the type of role that might lure the Christoph Waltz army to give this drama a chance. Is it rude to say that Robert Pattinson, who is more talented than Twilight and his celebrity allows him to be, might make this a tough sell as a date movie?
