EW : ‘Cosmopolis’ trailer: Sex, death and Robert Pattinson in search of a haircut
What exactly is David Cronenberg’s upcoming film Cosmopolis
about? From what I can glean from the new full-length trailer, it’s a
convoluted tale of murder, money, guns, sewer rats, riots, sex, and
power in New York City, with Robert Pattinson as an ambitious Patrick
Bateman-like assets manager at the center of it all. Pattinson plays
Eric Packer, the 28-year-old millionaire protagonist who treks across
Manhattan to… get a haircut.
Of course, if you’ve read the 2003 novel of the same name by Don DeLillo (White Noise)
on which the film is based, you’ll understand the trailer and plot far
better than I do. Still, the drama—competing for the Palme d’Or prize at
this year’s Cannes Film Festival—looks exceptionally compelling, and
the little Cronenberg cinematic idiosyncrasies look downright
fascinating.
