Heartthrob Throwdown for Robert, Zac & Justin?

February 1, 2009


Twilight's Robert Pattinson has found a new character to sink his teeth into — but he's ruffling some big Hollywood feathers in the process!

Rob has been offered the starring role in the upcoming movie Ohio, based on the 1970 shooting of anti-war protesters at Kent State University, a source tells Star. Zac Efron and Justin Timberlake have been approached for smaller parts in the film, but they're unhappy that they're not top dog.

"Everyone in the industry is shocked that Rob is already getting such big roles. Zac and Justin have been working for a lot longer than he has," says the source.

But don't expect any fistfights among the actors — most of the action has been behind the scenes.

"Zac's people want him to have the lead," the source notes. "And Justin's people have asked that he get a lot of screen time."

Sounds like Ohio may not be big enough for the three of them!

No fucking way. They're putting Robert fucking Pattinson in a movie about one of the most brutal acts of the 1970's? Unbelievable. Hollywood, you make me lose faith in humanity.

you can't criticize the actors when you don't even know what parts they're playing. I think they could all do a good job at respecting the roles, you don't even know them but you judge them based on what movies they've been in.
-- jesse. Kent, Oh.

No offense to Zac and Justin cause I like them too but Robert is just a better, more intense, and concentrated actor. They may be wanting someone more serious.

Wow justin needs to stay on the music side of entertainment where he belongs, i mean i love his music but i just don't thinks he is an amazing actor. As for ZAC well i think he deserves a chance to do something other than disney. Though robert is an exellent actor! Its a coin toss between the two for me!

1. Justin needs to stick to his singing. I love his music but not his acting. 2. I think we're just all so used to seeing Zac in musicals that we can't really take him seriously. 3. Even though Robert and Zac are so close in age, Robert already seems more mature. He's a great actor and has proven himself, not only in "Twilight" but in "How to Be" as well. It's Roberts turn to shine. Besides, he's down-to-earth, humble, and a hottie. Who can blame them for wanting him as the leading man [:
