First Look at David Cronenberg’s COSMOPOLIS with Robert Pattinson & Sarah Gadon

David Cronenberg's daughter Caitlin Cronenberg tweeted out our first look at the directors new film Cosmopolis which stars Robert Pattinson and Sarah Gadon

The story follows "a multimillionaire on a 24-hour odyssey across Manhattan as he attempts to get a haircut, betting his wealth against the declining Japanese Yen." Pattinson will play the millionaire, the rest of the cast includes Juliet Binoce, Paul Giamatti and Samantha Morton.

Here is a full description of the book by Don DeLillo's that the movie is based on:

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end -- those booming times of market optimism when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments.

Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. On this day he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town.

His journey to the barbershop is a contemporary odyssey, funny and fast-moving. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol's funeral and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors -- his experts on security, technology, currency, finance and theory. Sometimes he leaves the car for sexual encounters and sometimes he doesn't have to.

This should turn out to be a very interesting movie.
