Posted on 05. Jan, 2011 by Amanda31 in News
According to Deadline, Rob has lined up his first major role once Breaking Dawn is complete:
Pattinson will star in Cosmopolis, the Don DeLillo novel adaptation that David Cronenberg wrote and will direct … [Rob] will play Eric Packer. A financial wunderkind, Packer risks his entire fortune to bet against the yen on a tumultuous day. His deed puts him in the crosshairs for assassination in a drama that is a study of capitalism in a slightly futuristic metropolis. Most of the scenes in the book take place in the limousine that transports Packer from place to place. Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are also reportedly doing the film.
They also note that he took the role “because he is a big fan of Cronenberg’s work and an admirer of DeLillo’s books.” You can read the full article here.
