Cosmopolis on HitFix’s ‘In Contention’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of Cannes 2012’ List Leave a comment
From Hitfix:
With today’s announcement of the Directors’ Fortnight selections, this year’s Cannes lineup is effectively complete — bar some late additions that festival director Thierry Frémaux has told us to expect. As it stands, however, it’s a pretty robust get-together of arthouse VIPs and auteurs on the rise, which made whittling down a list of my 10 most anticipated titles a tough job. Needless to say, there are plenty of films not on this list that I’m eager to see. These 10, however, are the ones that have me most excited and/or curious, from Lee Daniels’s “The Paperboy” to Michael Haneke’s “Amour.
2. “Cosmopolis” (David Cronenberg)
It seems odd to be welcoming Cronenberg to Cannes mere months after he brought “A Dangerous Method” to Venice; long may this newfound productivity continue. It’s especially gratifying given that his last film, for many fans, was a minor disappointment — typically smart but surprisingly starchy given the potentially tangy subject matter. The Don DeLillo adaptation “Cosmopolis,” however, should find him on more typically wild form: an absurdist tale of one billionaire’s odyssey across New York to get a haircut, it’s Cronenberg’s first self-penned script since 1999’s “eXistenZ.” The cast, meanwhile, is irresistibly eclectic: Robert Pattinson gets to show us what he’s really made of in the lead, with Juliette Binoche, Samantha Morton, Paul Giamatti, Jay Baruchel and Mathieu Amalric all in support. Bring it on.

*VIDEO* Old footage of David Cronenberg talking Cannes & Cosmopolis, Pattinson & Gadon mention Leave a comment
The Cannes footage is from 2005 when Cronenberg’s History of Violence was selected for the film festival. The second segment, with the Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon mention, is from last year but still great to hear.
New Interviews with Robert Pattinson, David Cronenberg and DonDelillo 4 comments
ETA: Updated with the original interviews from the ‘Cosmopolis’ Production Notes – not translated anymore. Thank you, Robsteners for the link 🙂
Cronenberg and DeLillo interviews – Rob mentions are bolded and underlined. The interview is pretty spoilery so read at your own risks!
ROB’S INTERVIEW
Were you familiar with Don DeLillo’s novel?
No. But I had read some of his other novels. I first read the screenplay David Cronenberg sent me, and then the novel. One is incredibly true to the other, it is faithful in a way that seems impossible, for a novel that see med impossible to adapt. But even before reading the book, what impressed me the most about the script was the quick-paced rhythm and the unrelenting tension.
What was it about this film that appealed to you the most?
Cronenberg, obviously! I have played in only a few films, and none of them came close to what I expected working with him would be like. I wasn’t disappointed… I knew he would be very creative, and that it would be a real experience. And I was appealed by the writing of the script, like a kind of long poem. And a mysterious poem too. Usually when you read a script, you quickly know what it is about, where it is going, how it will end, even if there might be unexpected or sophisticated twists and turns in the plot. But this time it was completely different, the further I read, the less I could figure out where it was leading, and the more I wanted to be a part of it. It doesn’t fit any film genre whatsoever, it is in a league of its own.

*scan* Robert Pattinson ‘Cosmopolis’ Cannes Mention in The Times 1 comment
from the Times:
Well, we’re in the unlikely position that the world’s premiere art-film festival may be mobbed by screaming Twihards, as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are actors in the main competition. The former is a bored billionaire (pictured right, with Sarah Gadon playing his wife) in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, the latter is On The Road, Walter Salles’s adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel.The two films are part of the North American indie wave hitting the beaches of Cannes, from Wes Anderson’s opener Moonrise Kingdom to Brad Pitt in Andrew Dominik’s Killing Me Softly. Zac Efron is in Lee Daniels’s The Paperboy, along with Matthew McConaughey, who also stars in Jeff Nichols’s Mud. Meanwhile, this year’s Sundance sensation, Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, is in the funkier Un Certain Regard competition, along with Brandon “son of” Cronenberg and his Antiviral. The film is about a man “who harvests viruses from sick celebrities and then sells them”. Like father, like son…Cannes would not be Cannes without the art-house big hitters and, as in 2009, Michael Haneke and Jacques Audiard face each other for the Palme d’Or. Bets are on that Haneke’s Amour will lose out to Audiard’s Rust & Bone, which features Marion Cotillard, and killer whales. Other films are from Abbas Kiarostami, Matteo Garrone and Ulrich Seidl. But no women directors made the competition cit, much to the irritation of many on Twitter.Cannes Film Festival, May 16-27
