Cosmopolis Delano’s must-see movie of 2012 2 comments
From Delano:
See new Cronenberg
It is not often that a film ranks so highly in our listings, but David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis” has been widely touted as the must-see movie of 2012.
With Robert Pattinson in the lead role, it also looks likely to score the Canadian master his biggest ever box office hit. Whether the fans of Pattinson who will flock to see their screen idol’s new film will be able to stomach Cronenberg’s very realistic violence and sex after all the pre-teen fluff of the Twilight films remains to be seen.
Certainly the teaser trailer shows glimpses of the sort of graphic brutality Cronenberg delivered inA History of Violence and Eastern Promises (both starring the thinking woman’s Pattinson, Viggo Mortensen).
Cosmopolis is based on Don DeLillo’s novel about the day in the life of billionaire Eric Packer (Pattinson). Most of that day is spent in his chauffeur-driven limo, but it is nevertheless a day brimful of incident, hedonism and menace–for this is a book and film that, even in its most wilfully obscure moments, speaks volumes about contemporary life and where society is headed.

Cosmopolis Review by Le Nouvel Observateur 1 comment
Le Nouvel Observateur reviewed Cosmopolis and gave it 4 out of 5 stars! The bullet points below are from the Google translation (ommmmmmmmmmm) but the links to the French articles are below.
- The film received 4 out of 5 stars noted on Allocine HERE.
- [Cosmopolis] is puzzling, annoying, surprising, exciting.
- [Cronenberg] has fun mix of violence and humor, science fiction and gives rise to sorrow, the careless and tragedy.
- [Pattinson] is perfect: annoying, arrogant, talkative and charming.
- Robert Pattinson has merit. And charm. Adding that the car is pleasant, with soft lighting and bar in digital gadgets.
- [Cronenberg’s] film is like no other, is a signature elegance, its willingness to move away from Hollywood is constant.
- Cosmopolis is the lament of the crisis.
- David Cronenberg has always loved the mix of genre cinema and philosophy.
- Two worlds collide: the smooth surfaces, brushed steel, glass, lacquer, and the disorder, old furniture, dirty shirts, peeling walls. That, ultimately, that the hero will see his sad destiny tie. The discomfort, although this is the keyword of Cronenberg film.
You can find the original articles HERE for the the Cosmopolis review and HERE for the Robert Pattinson portion of the review. There is also a summary of the review but it contains a major spoiler if you haven’t read the book. Click HERE for the French version.
FilmNation Acquires Most Of World for ‘The Rover’ + Production News Leave a comment
From Deadline
Cannes, May 21, 2012 – FilmNation Entertainment has acquired the majority of worldwide rights to The Rover from Animal Kingdom writer-director David Michôd (Hesher). Michôd has written the script based on a story he conceived with Joel Edgerton (Zero Dark Thirty, The Great Gatsby).
This deal marks FilmNation’s migration into the acquisition space after ramping up their film investments and development slate. In addition to a full-fledged international sales arm, the banner now effectively develops, finances, and produces projects in-house as well as acquiring filmmaker driven content.
The Rover is set in the Australian desert in a dangerous and dysfunctional near future. Eric has left everything and every semblance of human kindness behind him. When his last possession, his car, is stolen by a gang of dangerous criminals, Eric sets off to track them down and is forced along the way to enlist the help of Reynolds, the naïve simpleton member of the gang left behind in the bloody chaos of the gang’s most recent escape.
