Pop impresario Simon Fuller had turned his sights on Hollywood and will be the executive producer of Twilight star Robert Pattinson's new movie.

Movie mogul: Simon Fuller is produceron a new film

The man behind Pop Idol and the Spice Girls is teaming up with the 23-year-old British actor as he looks to stretch the reach of his 19 Entertainment empire.

Fuller, 49, who lives in London and Los Angeles and is worth an estimated £300m, is working on an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's novel Bel Ami in which Pattinson will play the lead opposite Nicole Kidman. The pop guru expanded his empire elsewhere this year when he acquired Storm model agency, which has Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford on its books.
