A new review of the ‘Cosmopolis’ teaser trailer from GrizzlyBomb. Another nice commentary from a male perspective.
Teaser For Cronenberg’s New Thriller ‘Cosmopolis’
David Cronenberg is one of those directors who’s really never made a bad film, yet he’s never even been nominated for an Oscar. Why? Because the Oscars are bullshit, but what else is new? Cronenberg, much like other extremely cerebral directors like William Friedkin and Harmony Korine, has a way of tapping into the human psyche in a way that seems comfortably strange. Relatable in some ways, completely unheard of in others.
Last year, Cronenberg directed the critically acclaimed and surprisingly mainstream erotic-drama-thriller, A Dangerous Method. This year, he seems to be going back to his surrealist routes with Cosmopolis. Starring Robert Pattinson, the film follows Eric Packer, a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager whose day devolves into an odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart. Based on the novel by Don DeLillo, Cronenberg will write and direct this film, set to be released sometime in 2012.
For those of you doubting the strength of Robert Pattinson as an actor, just shut up. Seriously, just shut up already. The guy did the nearly impossible – He escaped the Twilight persona. Robert Pattinson is an extremely talented young actor with an already eclectic resume and disgustingly bright future ahead of him. And I’m not just saying this because I love Twilight, which I don’t. I’m saying it because the difference between him and Taylor Lautner is that Pattinson actually understands the meaning of emotion and facial expression.
Cosmopolis also stars Paul Giamatti, Samantha Morton, Jay Baruchel, Kevin Durand, and Juliette Binoche, AKA, the best cast I’ve seen this year thus far.
Great commentary, love the ‘because the Oscars are bullshit” line, almost as much as I love the final tag “the best cast I’ve sent this year thus far”.
Thanks Suze!
What a fantastic read, Thanks Suze. And agree Mr Grizz, the oscars are a load of B/S. I mean for example Meryl is a brilliant actor with or with out those statues. .& especially love the last paragraph says it all really. 😛
Oooh, hoo, hoo! I love this guy, so just shut up. Seriously, just shut up 😉 LOL
Oh yes…”shut up” is just right
and “Pattinson understands the meaning of emotional and facial expression”
…yes people, that’s why we love him
Um yeah what he said!! That was awesome!!!!
I think I have a new crush …
And just think – all this just from 33 seconds. I cannot wait until we get a longer trailer.
I think W/P must have ate my comment! 🙁 And it wasnt naughty either! 😛 what i did say was fantastic review thanks for posting Suze. Anr Mr GB I agree re the oscars absolute B/S I mean Meryl is brilliant actor with or without a statue, and that last paragraph says it all doesn’t it.
LOL @Cindy – no for some reason you needed approval – WP is the devil.
Oops sorry W/P my bad….
I LOVE this guy. The part you highlighted Suze made me GRIN from ear to ear while madly nodding my head in agreement. Finally someone who speaks the TRUTH & acknowledges Rob’s talent – past, present & future. LOVE it, thanks so much for posting Suze 😀
Squeeee!!! This day could not get any better. First we had the wonderful Bel Ami review praising Rob’s preformance as Georges Duroy and now this!!!!
I love the way this guy is not mincing his words. Yes all of you doubters “just shut up already”!!! Love it – love it – love it. And all this after only 34 seconds (as you rightly pointed out @maria)!!!
Yes people – Mr Pattinson is a talented actor and it’s about time you realised it…
“For those of you doubting the strength of Robert Pattinson as an actor, just shut up. Seriously, just shut up already.”
Preach it, brother.
The next 155 days need to go FASTER.
My comments keep going missing 🙁
