Rob, the music, the pics... everything is really really hypnotic... lol
and once again... a HUGE thanks CosmopolisFilm.com for compiling all those reactions...!
and once again, reactions are all quite ecstatic...
from HitFix:
This makes me happy on so many levels…When they announced that he was adapting Don DeLillo’s “Cosmopolis” into a film, it was exciting because the author’s voice is so distinct and strong that watching Cronenberg insert his own perspective into that material seemed like an exciting creative cocktail….The casting of Robert Pattinson in the film is one of those fiendishly clever strokes of genius from Cronenberg…Just take a look at the trailer and tell me if it makes you smile as much as it does for me.
from Indiewire:
For those who thought David Cronenberg went soft on us with his acclaimed period drama “A Dangerous Method,” prepare to be surprised.
from UltraCulture(UK):
After his brief (and admittedly delightful) foray into the world of tea and psychoanalysis with A Dangerous Method, it’s good to see David Cronenberg heading straight back to mindfuck country with Cosmopolis, his upcoming, sure-to-be-Cannes-premiering Don DeLillo adaptation starring Robert Pattinson in his first major post-Twilight role. And what a way to leave the franchise!
from IFC(IndependentFilmChannel):
Judging from the teaser trailer for “Cosmopolis,” the director’s next outing looks to be as intense, violent and sexual as anything he’s ever done.
from XavierPop:
Weird, Whacky and OG Cronenberg is Back With Cosmopolis…Definitely check out this trailer and enjoy.
from Badassdigest
Cosmopolis was already a huge question mark before the release of this first teaser. Now it’s a question mark paired with an exclamation point.
Eye stabbings, car pissings and self-inflicted gunshots to the palm pretty much invalidate any lingering Robert Pattinson hate – regardless of whether the movie is good or not. If it is as good as it looks, however, this could be the film that finally bridges the frayed relationship between you and your Twilight-obsessed stepmother. Either way, it looks like something extremely abnormal and exciting is headed our way, especially for those poor souls who thinkeXistenZ was the last good Cronenberg film.
from Filmoria
The first teaser trailer for David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis has arrived and it looks strange, very strange indeed; but in a very, very good way. Robert Pattinson stars as Eric, a 28 year old billionaire who has to make an epic journey across town to get a haircut. Yes, you read that correctly: a haircut. But don’t let that put you off, this trailer looks amazing.
from Firstshowing.net
This looks wild, and it’s only our very first tease!
from Complex.com
Of course, like in any Cronenberg film, this simple task makes a few pit stops along the way. We see quick flashes of some naked women, a strange scene where Pattinson apparently shoots himself in the hand, and what looks to be a gargantuan rat-like creature traveling through New York. We’re really not sure what’s going on here, but we’re intrigued at the very least.
Pattinson looks ready to break free from the Twilight mold and the material itself looks to perfectly compliment Cronenberg’s style. We would love to see more than what this international teaser shows off, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until the film gets released some time in 2012 to get the whole picture.
from Esquire
Likelihood You’ll Actually See It: Do you like sci-fi movies with the violence turned up a bit? Do you like David Cronenberg movies? Parables about the ruins of our modern world? Are you invested in the unpredictable career of Robert Pattinson for some inexplicable reason? If so, high.
from Vulture
… it’s coming out in Europe in May — and it’s decidedly different than your usual Pattinson movies, as the appealingly normal-bodied star has wild nude sex, fires a gun, and acts all nihilistic.
from Scott Weinberg/Movies.com:
Now here’s an upcoming film that will unite (at least) two decidedly different types of movie geeks: the old-schoolDavid Cronenberg junkies and the rabid Robert Pattinson supporters.
from MTV
“Cosmopolis’s” first teaser trailer has hit the web and let’s just say it’s a bit more extreme than we would have expected.
The 30-second-long French trailer — released yesterday on the film’s French Facebook — teases a performance from Robert Pattinson that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
**In true David Cronenberg style, “Cosmopolis” will be noir, it will be dark, and it will be weird.
from Indiewire/ThompsonOnHollywood:
This teaser suggests that “Cosmopolis” marks the Canadian’s return to his darker, nastier ways in this near future-set thriller based on Don DeLillo’s novel.
from GQ (UK):
Cosmopolis is one of our most anticipated films of the year and the first teaser trailer – all mad neon text, sex (which, if it’s sticking to the book, we’ll be seeing a lot of) and Eric Packer’s bizarre penchant for self mutilation – has only affirmed that.
from Empire Magazine:
It’s a very brief little shot of pure Cronenberg weirdness, but from the looks of this, it could be Pattinson’s most interesting work in a while. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see the whole thing, but this is certainly something very different from most of the films he’s tried before.
from LivinginCinema.com
Ok, you can pretty much stow any and all worries you may have had about Robert Pattinson in David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis. This very much looks to be something of a return to an earlier tone fromCronenberg. Consider my skepticism ereased.
from ScreenRant.com
There’s a whole lot of surreal and disturbing imagery packed into that thirty seconds of Cosmopolis footage, to say the least. Cronenberg’s latest looks like a sort of darker character study mixed with elements of the “body horror” genre that’s long been his focus as a filmmaker (see: The Fly, Dead Ringers, Crash, etc.). Similarly, there’s a 1980s satirical vibe to the proceedings that recalls his work on Videodrome, while the existential aspects of Eric Packer’s single-day odyssey bear a resemblance to those explored in Cronenberg’s Spider adaptation. Color us intrigued to see how Cronenberg’s latest symphony of madness plays out in full, for those reasons.
from SlashFilm.com
Well, hello, David Cronenberg! In 2012 the director is going to unleash his second film in two years, and for those who thought A Dangerous Method was too dry, it looks like Cosmopolis might be for you. A teaser has just landed for the film, and it looks nuts.
The film stars Robert Pattinson in an adaptation of a novel by Don DeLillo, and it looks like Cronenberg’s most overtly sexual movie since Crash, and his most visually strange since eXistenZ. What we see here of Pattinson’s character Eric Packer, a young billionaire with a rather specific and dark worldview, makes him seem to fit right in the mold of a classic Cronenberg character like Videodrome‘s Max Renn. “I’m looking for more… show me something I don’t know” could have come right out of Renn’s mouth.
**There was a lot of hand-wringing when Cronenberg’s original choice for Packer, Colin Farrell, was replaced with Pattinson. But it looks like the chance might have been for the better. Seeing these hints of what Cronenberg has done with the character, and how messed-up he might be, I can’t see Farrell getting the same sense of open-mouth surprise out of an audience that Pattinson will. He’s not the guy that you expect to see doing this stuff, and that’s part of why this works.
from FusedFilm.com
When you see a trailer for a movie like David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis starring Robert Pattinson, your views on the Twilight actor should change almost immediately. Part of that reason is that Pattinson is taking on a dark and very mature but also very twisted role. The other is because Cronenberg is involved.
A teaser for Cosmopolis has just landed, and if your views on Pattinson haven’t changed by the end of the trailer, then there isn’t any hope of you becoming a fan of the actor. The trailer is visually stunning filled with sex, strobe lights, dinosaurs, guns, and even more sex. The movie will follow Pattinson’s character who spends 24 hours crossing all of Manhattan in a limo. Of course the aforementioned visual stunners will make you believe its just more than a fancy lazy day driving.
This trailer is absoulutely wacky and I like it.
from Hollywood.com
At some point while watching the first teaser trailer for David Cronenberg’s upcoming thriller Cosmopolis, you’re going to be hit with a question. That question might be, “Did Robert Pattinson just shoot himself?” It could be, “Is he urinating inside the car?” Or possibly even, “Is that a giant rat?” And the answer to any and all of these questions is invariably, “Yes.”
But one question that will probably not be answered: “What is going on?” It’s hard to say. But that only makes Cronenberg’s NSFW trailer more compelling.
In the film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel, Pattinson plays a multimillionaire in a tumultuous trek throughout New York City over the course of a single day. But even a plot that loose isn’t really discernible in this strange, unbelievable engrossing trailer.
from Collider:
Cosmopolis looks pretty great, and I’m eager to see Pattinson break free of his famous mopey vampire.
from RamaScreen:
Shooting your own left hand, f*ing in a limo, all kinds of crazy sh*t is happening in this teaser trailer for David Cronenberg’s new film, COSMOPOLIS. It’s as if the teaser is saying welcome to yet another Cronenberg movie, b*tch!
from Huffington Post (Canada)
A teaser trailer for David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis has appeared online, showing its heart throb star Robert Pattinson in a dangerous new light.
from The Hollywood Reporter
Robert Pattinson will once again play dark and brooding, but his latest role proves he can do more than pine and sparkle.
The Twilight star plays a 28-year-old playboy billionaire who goes for a deadly limo ride in David Cronenberg’s upcoming Cosmopolis. Self-interested, acquisitive and nihilistic, Pattinson goes very against type from his Edward Cullen character in the vampire films, leaning more toward the manipulative philanderer of Bel Ami, which opens June 8.
from MovieLine
Move over Prometheus: David Cronenberg and Robert Pattinson are here with a 30-second foreign teaser forCosmopolis, their adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel about a young billionaire’s dark, demented and all-around catastrophic 24-hour Manhattan odyssey. And it looks amazing.from NextMovie.com
In fairness, it’s basically only 30 NSFW seconds of hyper-edited visuals, but what visuals: Times Square overrun with dinosaurs, Pattinson’s Eric Packer shooting a hole through his hand, limousine trysts and pee breaks, and all the quintessentially Cronenbergian glimpses of the perverse in the quotidian. Niftier still is the dialogue introducing the teaser, clipped in DeLillo’s own trademark staccato, hinting at a spiritual fidelity to the flawed but sui generis source material. It just looks and feels right. We’ll see how the other 100 minutes or so can compare later this spring, whenCosmopolis presumably debuts (and lands an American distributor) at Cannes.
Geez, David Cronenberg, way to corrupt our boy Robert Pattinson.
Before he was just a sparkly emo vampire, but now he’s a hyper-decadent rich dude humping and shooting everything in sight during the 30-seconds of bonkers bliss that is the “Cosmopolis” teaser trailer.
As if drawing a line in the sand to say “no more Mr. Nice Blooddrinker,” R.Pattz is taking things to a whole other level of bizarre as his billionaire character Eric Packer rides a limo across a pseudo-futuristic Manhattan where anything goes, including tons o’ sex, shooting his own hand and run ins with giant, fire-breathing dinosaur rats.
from MovieFanatic.com
If Robert Pattinson is trying to break out of his Twilight persona, hooking up with visionary director David Cronenberg is certainly one way to go. As evidenced by the teaser trailer for Cosmopolis that has debuted, their collaboration is just what the actor needs for people to forget about that Edward guy.
from CinemaBlend:
A short teaser for Cosmopolis is here, and it is fantastic.
from The Insider:
A new teaser trailer gives us a first glimpse at the film now and I am seriously impressed.
from TheFilmStage:
[David Cronenberg] is back to doing what he does best.
from RopesofSilicon:
I’m not sure what other signs we need when it comes to expecting David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis to play at the Cannes Film Festival, but with a May 23 release already set for France and now a teaser trailer with French subtitles all that’s left is the official announcement…A new Cronenberg film is always something to get excited for.
from NerdBastards:
The film, from the director of A History of Violence and Crash (the superior one with car fucking and crashing and fucking), looks insane, violent, magnificent, and in the evocative words of White Goodman, “Reaaaaal, freakah naughty”.
from Den of Geek:
Cosmopolis, adapted from the novel of the same name by Dom DeLillo, looks like a return to the kind of assaultive filmmaking we’d associate with Cronenberg, and we’ve little doubt that it’ll be quite superb.
from Flix 66:
AS much as I want to make fun of Robert Pattinson, I do think the guy has some talent and it’s evident in this lightning-quick teaser trailer (the whole thing is barely 30 seconds). It looks like it has a great mix of violence, sex and mystery to keep it going…This sounds like typical fare for director David Cronenberg and a great opportunity for Robert Pattinson.
and have a look to the first *Reactions* to Cosmopolis teaser...
