The 22-year-old was forced to pull out of the project because of a scheduling conflict with New Moon, the highly-anticipated second instalment in the vampire franchise.
"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," his agent Nicholas Frenkel told MTV.
Parts Per Billion, which follows three couples coping with the same life-threatening event, is due to begin filming in Los Angeles later this month.
Rosario Dawson, who is starring in and producing the film, recently expressed her excitement at working with Pattinson.
