It seems that America is yet to wake up from the holiday weekend, as it's a veeery slow news day. One interesting story that did pop up over at Cannes involved everyone's favourite dishevelled student-type movie star, Robert Pattinson.

The actor was being linked with a role in Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, ostensibly because the film is being directed by his Water for Elephants director, Francis Lawrence. Not the case according to the British thespian, who told USA Today, "I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in 'The Hunger Games.' I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent," he said. "[My agent] was like 'no one's going to offer you that part.'"

His agent shoots from the hip, doesn’t he? Pattinson has the David Cronenberg directed Cosmopolis due in June.
