The 26-year-old actor will return to his role of billionaire Eric Packer, said the Hollywood Reporter.

Pattinson's co-star Sarah Gadon, who played Elise Shifrin in the original film, is also scheduled to make a return, along with new editions including Carrie actress Julianne Moore and The Paperboy's John Cusack.

Screenwriter Bruce Wagner has penned the Maps to the Stars script, which has been described as a dark comic look at Hollywood life, and Entertainment One will finance the independent flick.

Rachel Weisz and Viggo Mortensen were previously linked to the project, but The Mummy actress dropped out earlier this year.

Shooting is scheduled to begin in July in Los Angeles and Toronto.
