At Cannes, when we meet him, Robert Pattinson is serene, sipping a Schweppes, eating a sandwich. And he listens to David Cronenberg as if he was a holy man, a father, a guru. Cronenberg is the director of his latest film, Cosmopolis. A contemporary nightmare, in which Pattinson plays a financial wizard, one of those who earn millions of dollars with one click. Crosses, uncaring, a Manhattan in flames, with the signs of a world – ours – that collapses, closed in the unbreakable casing of his limousine. After all, is a perfect Limousine also its reputation. His success , overwhelming, came after New Moon, shot also in Tuscany, from the Twilight Saga. Pattinson became immediately the “wet dream” of millions of little girls. And now, the twenty-six years guy, must work hard to prove that he is a real actor, not a vampire that has sucked the success from one film.
James Cooper discussed a few of the visual effects on Cosmopolis and shared some HQ images of the movie with The Art of VFX

Bild Newspaper, a German tabloid, shares a new pic and interview with Robert Pattinson from Berlin Press Junket.
Roughly translated with Google.
Berlin. In ‘Twilight’ – where he played a vampire teen star, Robert Pattinson (26) now plays in ‘Cosmopolis’ (starting July 5th in theaters) a sex-obsessed Yuppie.
B: Have you ever been poor?
Rob: Oh, yes. Before I filmed ‘Twilight’ I’ve been poor. If you’re young it doesn’t really matter.
B: And now?
Rob: It’s crazy, even though I now have much money, I live the same life as before. Nevertheless, it cost me a lot of coal. It’s damn expensive to be normal.
B: Why?
Rob: Before, I set off with 25€ and it was enough for the whole night in the club. Today I give loosely 12,000 in one night! And I can not just go shopping. I have to pay people for the do it for me …
It’s Thursday, May 31th in Berlin, and, after having seen ‘Cosmopolis’ at a media screening in the morning, I am meeting Robert Pattinson for an interview in the afternoon.
They have put us in a dark but cozy room on the ground floor of a fancy Berlin hotel. Robert is dressed in a casual black T-Shirt an Jeans, seated right in front of a window and sipping some coke. Or Diet Coke. I didn’t ask. He is also chewing a tooth pick the entire time, as he is trying to quit smoking.Let me just say that he was kind, relaxed and very approachable. He was laughing a lot and seemed happy to be promoting the film.
Hey Rob, it’s good to meet you. How are you?
Good, good, thanks.How do you like Berlin?
(He laughs) I love it, but it’s so annoying. Every time it’s at the beginning or the end of the tour. Every time I feel like I am only here for one single day, so I never really get to see it.
The vampire, that’s all past now. Around Christmas though, the last long-completed “Twilight” movie will hit the cinema, however, the British Robert Pattinson, 26, doesn’t play a bloodsucker anymore. In “Cosmopolis” he’s a barracuda who lets himself chauffeur in a stretched limo around Manhattan. The movie, based on the novel by Don DeLillo, is directed by the master director David Cronenberg. Therewith Pattinson has definitely arrived in the cinema of the big ones. Or not? He shows up for the interview on deck of a luxury hotel in Cannes with a pink lollipop.
Does it taste good, Mr Pattinson?
Oh I like these. Does it bother you when I suck?
