Great Cosmopolis Review from LoveFilm “What price a haircut these days?” 2 comments
From LoveFilm
Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson) is not just another Wall Street hotshot, not just another Master of the Universe or Gordon Gekko clone, he’s a cross between Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Steve Jobs – only younger and better looking.
Packer wants a haircut, and he knows where he wants to get it too. He’ll conduct his business in his limo – it’s an office on wheels, really – and get across New York City if it kills him. Which it might, because the President is in town and there have been threats and menaces. Also there’s a celebrity funeral procession – one of the high priests of rap has died, “natural causes” – so the streets are murder. Packer’s people are not happy. But what Packer wants, Packer gets, you can be sure of that.

New Robert Pattinson Interview with LoveFilm – London Press Junket Leave a comment
Robert Pattinson makes a bold turn with his latest role in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis. We sit down with the Twilight heartthrob to talk about working with David Cronenberg, not knowing what Cosmopolis is about and why this is such a huge year for him
Kevin Durand talks about working with Robert Pattinson on Cosmopolis Leave a comment
Kevin Durand’s Torval, chief of security for 28 year old billionaire Eric Packer, played by Robert Pattinson, has lost his patience. Eric and Torval have a complicated relationship in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, which escalates over the course of the film. It is set almost exclusively inside Packer’s limo as it heads across town. Torval walks alongside the car, checking Packer’s many visitors, so he’s privy to the events that occur inside. The more outrageous, the angrier he gets. And according to Durand, his personal relationship with Pattinson was somewhat difficult too. We spoke with Durand in Toronto.
Torval tolerates Eric, and he tends to see him better than anyone else does and feels disdain for him. Was that intentional or did I read that in?
From when I first read it I thought he was more than just chief of security relationship with this financial iconic kid. It was kind of father son-ish in some ways, seeing someone who over the years come sot care for this kid. He’s doing the dumbest things and constantly putting me in danger. It is layered, there is a lot happening, a lot of affection too and loathing. It’s all there.
Robert Pattinson said he had ideas for his onscreen relationship with Torval. Did you ever discuss it?
He didn’t really have to think of it. He’s used to a lot of security and so it was natural. It was important to him because especially in this film, his life is in Torval’s hands. There were times when I was reading the script I asked myself so many questions. Does he like this kid? Does he want to kill this kid? There were so many things going on. Ultimately he was just trying to keep him alive.
There are moments when you’re looking at him and there is real fire.
I can’t believe it but it’s a daily thing for him. It was hard for me to get into that too much. It was the second scene we shot and I was frustrated. I was getting angry that he wasn’t looking at me. It was either his choice or David’s choice but he never makes eye contact with me so immediately that informs you of your place. I remember I had to pull it back and make it sit. You’re feeling “What am I?” This real classist thing. There was disdain for him but he was also entertained by the ridiculous shit he talks about, like saying how perky a woman’s breasts were. It’s like, “How do you get away with this shit?” I would be in prison. It’s an interesting mix of disdain and admiration.
Cronenberg’s description of his direction seemed like he’s a little removed.
I was actually amazing. I worked on the text for so long before I sent the audition in. Once he saw the audition, he said yes, perfect. We sat down and I was going to ask all this information, where is he from, what was his childhood like. So I go “So you want to talk about it?” and he goes “No!” Wow! God bless him. It was a relief because I did that work before I showed up.
