'Twilight' actor Robert Pattinson is dropping out of an upcoming film project.

Pattinson was set to star in the indie film 'Parts per Billion' but the movie was conflicting with the production schedule of the 'Twilight' sequel 'New Moon,' MTV News reports.

"Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on 'New Moon' haven't left enough time for Robert to work on 'Parts per Billion' in the first quarter of this year," his agent explained.

'Seven Pounds' star Rosario Dawson is the producer and costar of 'Parts per Billion.' The film tells the story of several different lives being impacted by the same catastrophic event.
