CANNES – Having ended his vampire duties, Robert Pattinson is
working hard to establish himself as a leading man where his acting
skills eclipse his heartthrob status. His new film, COSMOPOLIS, directed
by David Cronenberg, is a bold step forward in that direction.
Pattinson’s striking features are a perfect match for the film’s eerie
plotting that owes just as much to Cronenberg’s macabre vision as it
does to the original source material, Don DeLillo’s eponymous novel.
Making its world premiere as part of the Cannes Film Festival’s official
competition, COSMOPOLIS sees Pattinson play Eric Packer, a Wall Street
billionaire whose life undergoes a strange sequence of events against
the backdrop of his rapidly collapsing Manhattan universe. Is this how
the 26-year-old Pattinson hopes to conquer new audiences?
