A new poster for Robert Pattinson's period drama Bel Ami has been released.
The movie sees Twilight star Pattinson play George Duroy, a penniless soldier who manipulates and beds the wealthy women of Paris in order to climb the social ladder.
Guy de Maupassant's 1885 novel provides the basis for the film, which co-stars Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci.
Pattinson previously said of the movie: "There's a lot of sex. [The film] is like the complete antithesis of what you normally think period dramas are about.
"In Paris, everybody was just going nuts. It was like the 1980s. Sex was kind of a weapon and a tool, and it's odd."
Bel Ami will open in UK cinemas on March 9.
