Thierry Frémaux (Director General of the Cannes Film Festival) talks about Rob in M Magazine Leave a comment
There are very positive quotes from the Cannes Director. There are a few mistakes in the article tho like the Tom Sturridge picture that they used isn’t one of Tom’s or them saying that Rob wanted the part of Jeff Buckley in the biopic. But those are mistakes from he writer of the article. The quotes are legit.
They ask Thierry if they “have the first draft of the new generation of young actors” and he replies “it’s hard to say, the competition is tough. You have to make the right choices & meet the right people. Pattinson & Stewart had the chance of rising from Twilight unlike other young actors that are as talented as they are. There are in Hollywood, young actors waiting in the shadow. The market is ruthless. But as for Pattinson& Stewart, they’re showing a remarkable maturity when it comes to their careers. And they’re wonderful in both movies.“
The article talks about Leo Dicaprio then: He managed to (almost) make people forget about Jake from Titanic. going from teenager’s walls to movie-goers shelves. Will the Twilight actors be able to finance movies that are both challenging and expensive due to their names? “It’s going on to depend on the success of their first steps in the ‘grown up’ cinema and on the power they will exerce on the screenwriter producers.” continues Thierry Frémaux. “Cannes 2012 is going to show that there is a movement to go back to the “big” American Auteur cinema. They can take advantage of it, or not. All of this is so fragile.

Cosmopolis and David Cronenberg interview in Studio Ciné Live magazine – France
ETA: Cosmopolis review added (Translation via RP Life)
A Cronenberg as brilliant as he is firm.
Each in their own genre, David Cronenberg and Don DeLillo are silversmiths of fantastic, unhealthy and sometimes dark atmospheres. As well as of the science of language and characters in shambles and – let’s not forget – of controversy.
It’s then pretty obvious that one would end up adaptating the other’s work. Cosmopolis is the ghostly and hypnotic story of a day in the life of a golden boy who is about to lose his empire because of the crisis, indifferent to the world that surrounds him. He’s hypochondriac and schizophrenic. His long journey across a chaotic New York, rythmed by meetings with his wife, his mistresses and his employees, will lead him to a point of no return. In a perfect balanced cinematic movement, David Cronenberg decided to adapt to the letter the extremely rich prose of Don DeLillo. He filmed with an incredible ingenuity this stifling and unsetlling closed-door.
This preconception to stay faithful to the text of the author is amazing but not without any danger. Especially in the last part of the film, where one could definitely get lost in a verbal flood that becomes complex for the viewer and for Robert Pattinson – who was perfect until then – but seems, all of the sudden, not to be able to manage anything anymore.
As always with Cronenberg, there’s no in between, no second place, no way out. Cosmopolis gets appreciated at full or not at all. Take it or leave it.
3/5 stars

NEW: Robert Pattinson on the cover of Premiere Magazine (France) 8 comments
It looks GREAT!! Robert Pattinson on the cover of Premiere Magazine – Cannes Special. Out this Saturday.
ETA: We took down the interview and scans of the photoshoot, at Premiere’s request.
From Premiere FR:
Star of Cosmopolis, the new movie by David Cronenberg, in competition at Cannes, RP was a willing participant to a crazy photoshoot that lasted 13 hours! Find out more in the May issue.
In general, when you organize a photoshoot with an actor, whose movies made more than 2.7 billion of dollars all over the world, you except someone cold and shy, someone with a controlled image and with a safeguard. Everything is timed to the last minute, especially if the actor arrives late, everything has to be started over again. I say ‘in general’ because all of this doesn’t apply to Robert Pattinson!
It’s at the end of our interview that the actor comes up with the idea of a photoshoot dedicated to David Cronenberg’s movies. [ToR note: Check out stills for Cronenberg’s movies The Dead Ringers, Videodrome and Scanners to compare.] Like a homage to his respect for the filmmaker, who by casting him in Cosmopolis, offered him not only a passport for after Twilight but aslo the opportunity to come and celebrate his entry to the adult age, on the steps of Cannes on May 25th.
To say that he got involved n the making of the photoshoot is an euphemism. The first images of Scanners and Videdrome we prepared for him as an inspiration for the future snapshots came back to us with an unexpected commentary: Rob was sorry that they weren’t more daring, wanting to push all the limits with this shoot – the complete opposite of what someone in his position would have asked Two days later, the photograph Eliot Lee Hazel and his crew – sort of strange for this kind of shoot (a special effect makeup artist, a pregnant lady …) – met in a glummy hotel in downtown L.A. to give the go-ahead of this shoot that lasted for exactly 13 hours.
After seeing the results of this shoot, we’re ready to bet that you won’t look at Robert Pattinson the same way again. That the last pretense who might still weigh on the actor will fly away as fast as they appeared.

Cosmopolis in Glamour Magazine – France 1 comment
Translation (thnx to rpattzrobertpattinson.com):
Steamy Cosmopolis, by David Cronenberg
It’s an event for different reasons: Robert Pattinson , who has eventually put an end to his Twilight duties, displays his talent as a cranky megastar and plays a young billionaire who will have a nightmarish mental oddysey in the back of his limo (adapted from Don DeLillo’s novel). Above all, the fisrst images allows us to see and feel something we tought had disappeared: David Cronenberg’s cinema, the one he used to do: gore , biologic, clinic, disturbing. We’ll meet you on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival.
