Rob, who plays Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, could be set for another Edward role.

Fans of the original film are outraged that the film might be remade, and that Rob might bag the lead role originally played by Johnny Depp.

The rumours seem to have come from Twitter, so they may be entirely made up.

There were rumours back in 2009 that Pattinson was replacing Johnny Depp in the Pirates of theĀ CaribbeanĀ films.

Who would you like to see play Edward in a remake?
