Young love isn’t going to get any easier for “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson – at least, not in his next movie.

The 22-year-old actor has been cast in Summit Entertainment’s “Remember Me,” a romantic drama about a young couple who must overcome a succession of family tragedies that complicate their relationship.

Not much else is known about the plot, but Summit co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger has described the film as this generation’s “Love Story,” reports ScreenDaily.com. “Love Story,” of course, is the classic 1970 romance starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal that featured the famous line “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”

Pattinson’s love interest in the film, which was previously titled “Memoirs,” has yet to be cast.

Allen Coulter, an Emmy-winning director whose credits include “The Sopranos” and “Damages,” will direct, while “Rachel Getting Married” screenwriter Jenny Lumet is working on a draft of the screenplay.

“Remember Me” will shot this summer in New York between production on the “Twilight” sequels “New Moon” and “Eclipse.” The second and third installments of Stephanie Meyer’s hit series continue to follow the tumultuous relationship between the vampire Edward (Pattinson) and the human teen Bella (Kristen Stewart).

Pattinson will next appear in the Salvador Dali biopic “Little Ashes,” which was shot before “Twilight.” The movie hits theatres in May.
