It’s been a couple of years since David Cronenberg got involved in the film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel Cosmopolis and we’re happy to let you know that shooting is set to begin in Toronto on May 24. There’ve been quite a few casting switches but it looks like all is settled. Robert Pattinson gets top billing, but the cast includes Jay Baruchel, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Gadon, Juliette Binoche and Kevin Durand.
Pattinson plays the character Eric Packer, a young, multi-billionaire asset manager who sets out one day in Manhattan (there goes Toronto pretending to be NYC again) in his fabulously appointed stretch limo to get a haircut. The story/parable takes place over one day, during which Packer loses everything. The ending is apocalyptic.
Pattinson says Cosmopolis is one of his favourite novels and that the role is very hard, but he is “trying to turn it.”
One other note: the musical score will be by Canadian composer Howard Shore, a frequent collaborator with Cronenberg (they worked together on the opera version of The Fly, also Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Scanners, Eastern Promises, and others). Shore also wrote the music for The Lord of the Rings and is working on The Hobbit.

Here at ToR we’re all about sharing. Many people send us wallpapers that we post for your personal use. As you know DreamySim1 , who is part of ToR, is a great designer. She’s also the one who makes all our banners, signs, designs etc… She makes many wallpapers for the site. Such as the one below she made back in December.
As we mentioned above the wallpapers are posted for personal uses, therefore we don’t mind if you use them. What we do mind however is this:
When the wallpaper is used for commercial purposes and the artist (in this case DreamySim1) is not 1) contacted to give authorization for the use of their art 2) Not even credited.
If you use wallpapers posted on this site for commercial purposes we ask you to please contact the wallpaper maker to ask their authorization and to give them credit for the work they’ve done. It’s the least you can do when you use someone else’s work.
