In this new movie, ‘Cosmopolis’, the gorgeous ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson is an adulterer obsessed with his hair. Nice hair, though! So the odds are that we’re going to love this new movie, for which the first script leaks came today.Robert Pattinson is now confirmed in a starring role, replacing Colin Farrell who is needed for filming on ‘Total Recall’. The movie is thus set to attract a whole lot more attention. It’s very juicy, full of suspense, sex and money trouble, and Pattinson’s hair features heavily.Robert plays a multi-billionaire financial guru with the obligatory pimped up limo, in search of a haircut. Be honest now, it’s just the fact that this is Robert Pattinson we’re talking about that has you interested at this stage, isn’t it? But an awful lot happens in that movie before he can get his glorious locks shorn. Within 24 hours, his character, Eric, bankrupt his clients with dodgy financial advice, is stalked by two would-be assassins, cheats on his wife and becomes obsessed with sex, often asking his wife, played by Marion Cotillard, “When are we going to have sex again?”
If only he’s asked around, there would have been so many volunteer hair stylists! It could have saved him a lot of trouble. But we do get to see a lot of the gorgeous Robert, which is a good thing. He gets his shirt off and even drops his pants for a doctor’s exam. He gets into lots of fights too.

Let’s look at the different career paths of the two major male stars from Twilight. Taylor Lautner is doing what seems to be boilerplate action/tentpole stuff: Abduction and possibly Stretch bloody Armstrong. Robert Pattinson, meanwhile, is going a little more high-minded, co-starring with Cristoph Waltz in Water For Elephants and now taking over for Colin Farrell in David Cronenberg‘s adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel Cosmopolis. I know which actor I can respect more, without question. But what does this mean for the dedicated David Cronenberg fan?I expect a lot of Cronenberg fans just exhaled a sad or exasperated sigh, for starters. I’ll admit that my own interest in Cosmopolis just took a dive. It’s a weird situation, where I can really respect Robert Pattinson for taking the gig, but him doing so really seems to ding the movie’s potential.
But what the hell; I’ve trusted Cronenberg for years and I’ll trust him again now. In the same way that I hope John Hillcoat can do a little technical rehab on Shia LeBeouf in The Wettest County in the World, I’m hoping that Cosmopolis will be a vessel to break Mr. Pattinson out of his Twilight mode. (And, to be fair, the Twilight films are hardly a venue in which to judge an actor — they’re so specific, and so dumb, that I think they could make even Daniel Day-Lewis look terrible.)
Synopsis (Google Translate) from alfamafilms
Eric, a “golden boy” of 28 years, has made his life a microcosm of obsessive and violent world of today, this world haunted by a ghost that has “divine matter”. A frantic work and visually in a unit time and place, 24 in New York.
David Cronenberg’s visionary filmmaker of the collapse of the world, adapting the novel lines between the real and the virtual, where the hero retreats into a maze of contradictory images of the asymmetry, is a promise of light for each spectator.
