Robert Pattinson Is In ‘Every Second’ Of ‘Cosmopolis’
That is music to my eyes and ears! MTV (thanks Josh) had opportunity to talk with Paul Giammetti (I loved him in Sideways and was thrilled that he’s working with Rob) and Paul who is definitely not a fangirl had a lot to say about working with Rob:
 “If we can read into co-star Paul Giamatti’s recent comments to MTV News, it seems the film and book will retain one key similarity: It’s all about Packer.
“He’s in every second of this movie,†Giamatti said of Pattinson while promoting “The Ides of March†at the Toronto International Film Festival. “The whole thing is him.
“That’s a lot of pressure for a young actor who has shined in the “Twilight†films and taken on romantic dramas like “Remember Me†and “Water for Elephants,†yet has never worked with such dark, cerebral material — and a director so comfortable with such things. Nonetheless, Giamatti says Pattinson nailed the role.
“He seemed absolutely great. It’s a very, very tricky part, and he was really at home with it,†he told us. “I was really impressed.â€
The novel intercuts, every so often, the psychotic musings of Benno Levin, the character played by Giamatti. “I get to stalk him,†the actor told us at Sundance back in January.
That’s not all he does. We’ll leave it at that, lest we dive into spoiler territory. But the story gets dark. Really dark. And that’s right up Cronenberg’s alley, a director who made his name in the horror genre and has lately taken on brashly violent material like “Eastern Promises.†Cronenberg the man, however, is very different than Cronenberg the filmmaker, Giamatti assured us.
“[He’s an] incredibly sane man, when you think about the movies he makes,†he said. “He’s an incredibly grounded and sweet, sane guy. It was pure pleasure. I had a great time doing it. I’m a big fan of his, so that was a very exciting thing.â€

Roberta
Thanks for the article and the video… I knew it all! I knew Robert would nail the part as cool as ice. Cannot wait!!!!!!! Love Giamatti too, great actor.
Carolyn
Woo Hoo! I’ll be sure to take the toothpicks with me, you know, to keep my eyes open, (like in the cartoons) because I don’t want to even blink and miss a second! 🙂
silvie
How brilliantly exciting!!! I’ve got this image of eyes wide open not wanting to miss a beat. How wonderful for Rob to be acknowledged for his work. Apart from the fact that Rob is so gorgeous I really respect him because he does stretch himself and takes on challenging roles. It’s quite obvious that he doesn’t take on work just for the sake of it. He’s just wonderful.
Carmel
Rob is in every second. This is what I like to hear.
I can’t wait to meet Eric. Cosmpolis is a freakin’ awesome book and although I’m not a movie buff and didn’t know of Cronenberg before Rob was attached to the movie, I now know enough to be very excited about the integrity of this movie. Yesterday I got a package with a few more Dellino novels and I’m excited to get started on them. I love all these doors that Rob opens for me.
@Cindy – I think your package deserves a bit more of a squee than my books . Jacob *sigh*.
@Maria – I have no idea how you lovely ladies manage to provide us with all this happiness during your busy days but I thank you all for making it happen. You all have my awe and gratitude.
ephie
Oh yeah!! Best news of the week so far. And Giamatti was impressed with Rob too…I can’t wait to see him as Eric Packer – I know he is going to blow our minds!!!
And as Carmel said, thank you for looking after us @maria even during a very busy day!!!
Bee Kaye
Roll on Rob in all of his roles!! I love them all.
