Here’s the fancy new sales poster for Robert Pattinson’s new movie, Mission: Blacklist which will be doing the rounds next week when Cannes 2012 kicks off in an attempt to find funding (I’m sure it won’t take long!). It features RPatz staring at us seductively and I rather like it!

It comes from the folks over at Rope of Silicon who make the very good point that adding the colon to the title makes it appear very much in the same vein as the Mission: Impossible franchise. Who knows why the Embankment Films would go down that road but I’m sure we’ll find out in due course.

The movie is based on the true story based on the book by Eric Maddox Capturing Saddam: The Hunt for Saddam Hussein–As Told by the Unlikely Interrogator Who Spearheaded the Mission and is directed by Jean-Stephane Sauvaire.

RoS also give us a plot which goes a little like this:

Unlike other Interrogators fresh out of training, Eric Maddox (Robert Pattinson) has a brilliant and beautiful mind. He has a unique ability to decipher highly complex patterns from seemingly random events.

His mission is to trap the world’s most wanted man, Saddam Hussein — and he must defy his superiors to uncover his prey. The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the hunt becomes…
