Robert Pattinson in 'Remember Me' trailer

Robert Pattinson stars in the upcoming Allen Coulter drama "Remember Me," and believe it or not, he's not playing a vampire. A trailer for the family drama has debuted online, and it follows after the jump.

The film was co-written by "Rachel Getting Married" scribe Jenny Lumet, and the trailer looks intense. It also doesn't look that bad, actually. Even Pattinson promises a warmer performance in the lead role.

He plays Tyler, a rebellious young man who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. One day, he meets Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through a twist of fate.

Robert Pattinson may star in 'Memoirs' drama

"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson is attached to star in "Memoirs," a romance drama developed by Summit Entertainment.

According to Variety, the story follows a pair of lovers "who meet and fall in love while struggling to deal with family tragedies that threaten their relationship."

Will Fetters wrote the original script, but Jenny Lumet will revise. Lumet most recently wrote the fantastic Anne Hathaway vehicle "Rachel Getting Married."

The trade also says Allen Coulter, whose credits include "Hollywoodland," "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City," is in talks to direct "Memoirs."

Pattinson certainly doesn't require an introduction, and he's set to return as Edward in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." His credits also include "Little Ashes" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
