While we haven’t seen anything more than a few stills from David Cronenberg‘s next film A Dangerous Method, he is already on production in Toronto on his next, Cosmopolis. While the former film starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, and Keira Knightley has a rumored Venice Film Festival premiere in the works, we won’t be seeing the latter until 2012. Now, thanks to Bleeding Cool, we have the first image from the film. Taken by Cronenberg’s professional photographer daughter Caitlin via Twitter, it features Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon in a taxi and can be seen below.
Based on the 2003 novel by Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis is the story of a young multi-billionaire named Eric Parker (Robert Pattinson) who journeys across Manhattan in his luxurious, hi-tech stretch limo to get a haircut. The story covers roughly one day in Parker’s life, during which time he meets a motley cast of characters (played by Samantha Morton, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, Kevin Durand and Sarah Gadon, among others), losing his fortune along the way. While I wasn’t a fan of Water for Elephants, it is nice to see Pattinson extend his bound beyond the Twilight franchise, especially for a Cronenberg film.
What do you think of the first image from Cronenberg’s next (next) film?
