The trailer for David Cronenberg's new film, Cosmopolis, hit the Web today, and by the looks of it the Twilight heartthrob has finally graduated to his first serious adult role in this sex- and violence-filled tale based on the novel by Don DeLillo.
It also, ladies, happens to show off his very naked torso, so check it out! (Word of caution: Trailer is of a graphic and sexually explicit nature.)
The flick chronicles a day and a night in the life of a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager who sets out across Manhattan to get a haircut. And in case you think Pattinson stretched out in Water for Elephants, Cosmopolis is a far cry from the veterinary medicine student he played in the former.
During the surreal Odyssey-like trek, our hero encounters his wife on several occasions, gets caught up in traffic jams caused by a presidential visit, finds himself cast as an extra in a movie, is stalked by two men and stumbles into a riot.
There are plenty of quick flashes of scenes throughout the teaser, but not enough to give us a sense of anything more than the movie's tone. In true David Cronenberg style, "Cosmopolis" will be noir, it will be dark, and it will be weird.
For you few uninitiated left out there, "Cosmopolis" is the adaptation of Don DeLilly's surrealist thriller novel of the same name. It follows Pattinson's character Eric Packer, a wealthy billionaire bored with the world, as he travels deeper and deeper into Manhattan's underworld over the course of 24 hours. He spends much of his time in a limo, and runs into a cast of colorful characters.
And, apparently, some imaginary dinosaurs along the way, as we see in the teaser. There's plenty of weirdness at play here, but we're willing to give ourselves up to it. And if you thought "Bel Ami" was going to have a ton of sex in it, just wait until you see the ways Pattinson is hooking up in "Cosmopolis."
The film doesn't yet have an American release date, but it is due in theaters in France on May 23 and in Portugal on May 31. It is largely expected that "Cosmopolis" will premiere at Cannes.
