Robert Pattinson Leaves 'Twilight' Behind
6 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France -- Robert Pattinson has gone from playing a vampire to depicting another kind of bloodsucker – a billionaire financier whose world crumbles in the course of a nightmarish cross-town drive in "Cosmopolis."
The "Twilight" heartthrob stars in David Cronenberg's Cannes Film Festival entry as sleek, self-centered moneyman Eric Packer, who sees his fortune and sense of self evaporate during an eventful day in his stretch limo.
Pattinson's famously handsome face is on-screen in every scene, but "Twilight"`s young fans may be surprised and confused by a film that explores Cronenberg's fascination with physical, social and psychic violence.
The 26-year-old actor is not worried.
"If some 12-year-olds went to go and see that, or got the video for their birthday – sitting down and watching that, it's incredible," the actor said during an interview on a Cannes hotel rooftop. "I would love that to happen if I was a kid. »

Carax, Cronenberg, Reygadas: Cannes Winners – Predictions
13 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leos Carax‘s Holy Motors Michael Haneke’s Amour / Love is my prediction for the Cannes Film Festival 2012′s Palme d’Or. But there are several other possibilities, which will quite likely receive, if not the Palme d’Or itself, then at least one of the runner-up awards. At Cannes, those include the Grand Prize of the Jury (runner-up), the Jury Prize (third place), Best Director, and Best Screenplay. [See also Cannes 2012: Best Actor Predictions; Cannes 2012: Best Actress Predictions] Here are the ones that come to mind: Leos Carax’s highly unconventional Holy Motors, in which Denis Lavant plays 11 roles while riding around in his limo. Holy Motors was greeted by mixed reviews — but then again, so was nearly every film shown at Cannes this year, and probably every other year. That includes Terrence Malick’s 2011 Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life. Andrew Dominik’s violent Killing Them Softly, a scathing commentary on American sociopolitical culture set among New Orleans mobsters. »

Cosmopolis – two star review
25 May 2012 4:12 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
David Cronenberg's adaptation of Don DeLillo's novella, starring Robert Pattinson as a billionaire trader, is agonisingly self-conscious
David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, adapted by the director from the Don DeLillo novella, is stilted, self-important and dismayingly shallow, featuring an egg-laying cameo from Juliette Binoche, among others — although Paul Giamatti and Mathieu Amalric put some recognisable human life into theirs. As the star, Robert Pattinson's face is set in an immobile semi-sneer of super-cool unshockability. He plays Packer, a twentysomething multi-billionaire Wall Street trader, who we see riding across Manhattan in his stretch limo, having conceived a whimsical desire to get a haircut way over the other side of town. This may be an allusion to the slang for a fierce market correction — a "haircut" — because Packer's massive wager on Chinese currency looks like it's going to go very wrong, his recent marriage to a wealthy and beautiful young »

Cosmopolis‘ Robert Pattinson, David Cronenberg, Sarah Gadon, Paul Giamatti, and Emily Hampshire posed for photographers at the Cannes Film Festival 2012, where Cosmopolis is in the running for the Palme d’Or. The above Robert Pattinson photo was posted at Just Jared, which has several other images from the Cosmopolis photo call. Cronenberg’s chaotic comedy-drama was screened today at Cannes. Reviews were mixed for Cosmopolis, which some found too talky, but they were highly positive for Robert Pattinson, 26, best known until now for his lovestruck vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies. [Check out: Cosmopolis Mixed Reviews; Robert Pattinson 'Flawless'.] According to Just Jared, when Pattinson was asked a Twilight-related question, Cronenberg interfered, telling the journalist that Robert Pattinson is a “real person with a history and a past. The history and the past is not Twilight. It is Cosmopolis.” In addition to Robert Pattinson as the young multibillionaire New Yorker Eric Packer, the Cosmopolis cast includes the aforementioned Sarah Gadon, »

Cosmopolis Reviews: Robert Pattinson Flawless
25 May 2012 10:56 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Gucci-clad Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis I could be wrong, but expect David Cronenberg‘s Cosmopolis to win something at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Reviews haven’t been unanimously favorable for Cronenberg’s "ethical fable" about a (disastrous) day in the life of a New York City multibillionaire (Robert Pattinson) determined to get a haircut. But no matter. Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life was last year’s Palme d’Or winner despite a highly mixed reception. Robert Pattinson, in the process of shedding his Twilight image, has mostly earned extremely positive (and surprised) notices. [Check out the awesome Cosmopolis trailer.] Below are a translated snippets from a few French-language reviews. A chief complaint about Cosmopolis is that it’s too chatty. David Cronenberg reportedly wrote the screenplay in six days, keeping much of author Don DeLillo’s dialogue intact. In addition to Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis features Sarah Gadon, Juliette Binoche, Samantha Morton, Paul Giamatti, »

Cannes Critics’ Panel Day 10: David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis
25 May 2012 10:15 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
His fourth feature film at Cannes since Crash was awarded the Special Jury Prize (1996), the novel to screen adaptation of Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis sees Robert Pattinson deliver, perhaps his best performance to date as Eric Packer – the ego-centric billionaire whose financial tsunami is played out into one long limo ride. With a flurry of short and sweet appearances from the likes of Sarah Gadon, Juliette Binoche, Mathieu Amalric, Samatha Morton and Paul Giamatti, several critics at the fest are comparing this to On the Road, as both are difficult to adapt projects. So the critical consensus among our panelists and the festival journos is that this is either a film to be loved or hate — which may have to do with David Cronenberg’s chosen form. Not all our panelists have provided their grades, but I’m thinking that the final tally should improve. Click to see the latest grid results. »

Cannes: David Cronenberg Talks The "Strange Mutant Hybrid" Of 'Cosmopolis'; Robert Pattinson Says There's No Link Between His Own Life & Eric Packer
25 May 2012 10:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Over the past decade, notorious and beloved director David Cronenberg took a curious turn in his filmmaking career: he became normal. (Though anyone who tries to label his lot of ‘00s films like “A History of Violence,” “Eastern Promises,” or even “A Dangerous Method” as "normal" is most certainly speaking in relative terms.) While he may not be exploding heads “Scanners”-style, or exploring the depraved life of a smarmy TV executive with a lust for violent programming in “Videodrome,” Cronenberg has still managed to put his own twisted spin on all three of those ‘00s films, from the family drama in 'History' to the biopic-like nature of 'Method.' With his adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel “Cosmopolis,” which follows a 28-year-old billionaire’s stretch limo ride across Manhattan that soon turns into a warped odyssey that tears apart his own world, it looks as if Cronenberg is returning »

Cannes: Robert Pattinson plays a lethal finance bad boy in David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis.' Plus, a Palme d'Or conspiracy theory
25 May 2012 9:59 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
David Cronenberg is often the kind of director who makes art when he thinks he’s going mainstream (A Dangerous Method, The Fly) and winds up with a crock when he thinks he’s making art (the inexplicable 1996 Cannes Special Jury Prize winner Crash). Cosmopolis, which premiered this morning, may star the Most Coveted Sexy Franchise Heartthrob in the Universe, Robert Pattinson, but it is nevertheless in the icy, stultifying tradition of such hermetically sealed Cronenberg duds as M. Butterfly and Videodrome. For most of this one, we’re sealed in a white stretch limousine, the interiors of which Cronenberg shoots from symmetrical low angles, »

[First Look] Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth Romance In ‘Romeo and Juliet’
25 May 2012 9:52 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
“This is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ for the Twilight Generation.”
So says a member of the team on Romeo and Juliet, an upcoming, Carlo Carlei-directed interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic led — one led by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Douglas Booth (Lol) that expressly hopes to bring this tale to modern teenagers. Please, please, please let this be “for the Twilight Generation” because “the Twilight Generation” is simply seeing the movie in the first place.
Little new details can be gleaned from our first look — the costumes look very nice! — and the only other solid detail in 24Frames‘ report is that the dialogue of Romeo and Juliet will be spoken in “understandable iambic pentameter.” So this won’t be Luhrmann‘s Romeo Plus Juliet Equals “Lovefool,“ but there’s still a decent amount of fidelity going on ehre. For that alone, this could come out on the other side looking okay. »

Critics are split on whether the 'Twilight' actor was the right casting choice.

After supporting his girlfriend Kristen Stewart as she debuted "On the Road," Robert Pattinson hit the Cannes Film Festival on Friday (May 25) to premiere his film "Cosmopolis." Directed by David Cronenberg, the film follows Eric Packer (Pattinson) in the not-too-distant future as he's chauffeured through Manhattan on his way to get a haircut. His entire world is falling apart — his marriage is failing, his financial status is slipping and even his very life is being threatened.
As reviews of the film pour in, it's apparent that critics agree the film has its odd moments, but they're split on whether Pattinson is the perfect choice for the lead role. Here's what the critics had to say about "Cosmopolis."
