Watch: New U.S. Trailer for David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis'
Rob Pattinson in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis."
"Cosmopolis," which co-stars Paul Giamatti, Sarah Gadon, Juliette Binoche, Mathieu Amalric and Kevin Duran, is based on Don DeLillo novel, and centers on a Wall Street tycoon (Pattinson) whose world begins to collapse as the stock market crashes during a long limo ride across Manhattan.
Upon premiering in Cannes earlier this year, the thriller received mostly mixed reviews. Our own Eric Kohn wrote: "Pattinson holds his own without exactly broadening his range. By simply taking the part, his presence has the dissonance of a James Franco performance act, at once thoroughly underwhelming and emboldened by the meta mystery of his attraction to the project. As a journalist at the movie's Cannes press conference pointed out, while not a literal vampire, Packer is certainly a blood-sucking capitalist."

Okay Julie, get up off your knees. If RPatz actually showed some talent he would get praise for it.

Though I can see the comparison of Eric Packer with a blood sucking capitalist, I really don't understand the need to put the 'vampire' thing up,every time Robert Pattinson promotes a new movie. He played the role of a vampire as he has played other roles, why this silly behavior of intelligent critics? It's like they're more obsessed than the fans of this franchise :)
Are they going to reference to Jack Sparrow too, every time Depp promotes a new movie? Does Christian Bale get the same treatment concerning Batman?
I'd like critics to grow up and look at independently at each project of an actor/actress.
