Nordling here.
According to Deadline, Robert Pattinson's moved up to the big leagues, director wise (continue to hum THE JEFFERSONS theme if you like) as his next project seems to be with none other than David Cronenberg in a film called COSMOPOLIS.
The plot, which sounds vaguely science-fictiony to me and that makes this definitely one to watch for considering it's a Cronenberg film, concern's Pattinson's character in the near-future who risks his entire fortune. It's based on the Don DeLillo novel, which I've not read. Apparently Pattinson is a Cronenberg fan, but aren't we all?
Personally, I think Pattinson gets a bad rap. He's not the most chaismatic of actors, but I think he wants to do good outside the TWILIGHT franchise, and working with Cronenberg is a huge leap in quality in my opinion. Guy's never made a film that wasn't interesting. I'm curious to see how this plays out.
Nordling, out.
