Robert Pattinson Surfaces! (In Pics From Upcoming David Cronenberg Film, Cosmopolis)
Judging from the staying power of the Kristen Stewart-Rupert Sanders scandale, Robert Pattinson probably feels like he's on a Dante-esque limo ride through Hollywood hell right this very minute. Which means it's a perfect time to look at photos from his upcoming movie, Cosmopolis!
Joblo.com has posted exclusive pictures from the David Cronenberg-directed adaptation of Don DeLillo's, um, extreme 2003 novel about a billionaire asset manager whose chauffeured ride across Midtown Manhattan to get a haircut turns into a sex-and-death-punctuated journey of self-destruction.
Pattinson and his hypnotically vacant stare play Eric Parker, the 28-year-old rich dude who takes that ride. Reviews of the film were mixed after it screened at the Cannes Film Festival, but Pattinson got some really good notices for his performance. For instance, Robbie Collin of London's The Telegraph wroted that, at the movie's heart is a "sensational central performance from Robert Pattinson — yes, that Robert Pattinson."
It will be interesting to see whether Twi-hards will check out R-Patz in what, if we know our Cronenberg, will be a much deeper and darker story. One thing is for sure: the press junket will be well attended.
Head to Joblo for more images.

hmmm, twihards probably won't understand it. i've seen it, and it's good movie. not everyone will like it, but i enjoyed it.
I'm a huge Cronenberg fan. "The Fly" is a brilliant horror film. "Dead Ringers" is so wonderfully creepy, and "Rabid" starred my favorite porn star, the late, great Marilyn Chambers.
hmmm, so why wouldn't twihards understand it?
*yawn* yet another ignorant dismissal of a fanbase you really know nothing about. His fans are much older and more educated than the teens and tweens you all assume form hiis core base. Most of my friends have read the book a few times, I think it's imperative before seeing the movie.
He just looks like a vampire to me now...
i don't see a vampire, and i didn't see one when i watched the film. but whatever floats your boat.
He'll always look hot to me....hmmmmmm................yummy!
Didn't this movie already get bad reviews?
It got mixed reviews. I have yet to see the movie, but the review that I found most interesting was in London's Telegraph. Robbie Collin called "Cosmopolis" a "smart inversion of Cronenberg’s 1999 film eXistenZ: rather than being umbilically connected to a virtual world, Packer is hermetically sealed off from the real one." That's a movie I want to see.
I thought Catherine Bray's for Film4 was brilliant. Her interview with Rob at Cannes my favorite as well. She tapped into the theme of time that really got Rob excited because no one else had mentioned it before.
Robert Pattinson gets even on Kristen Stewart with another woman. http://hollywoodandswine.com/robert-pattinson-gets-revenge-on-kristen-stewart-for-affair-with-older-director-by-seducing-nancy-meyers/
