nonsense, then Cronenberg is the director and this is the type of film to do it. Farrell's departure caused a change in approach as Marion Cotillard left as well. The film would now skew much younger with Pattinson in the lead and Sarah Gadon(Charlie Bartlett
) signing on. Based on a 2003 novel by Don DeLillo, the story is basically a screwed up, modern day take on The Odyssey
. Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a 28 year old multi-billionaire Wall Street wiz who makes a trek across town in his souped up limo to get a haircut. Along the way he cheats on his wife, Elise; loses a bunch of clients millions of dollars in a bad investment; and gets chased down by a couple guys who may be seeking revenge. If I have any worry about Pattinson holding my interest with the entire film basically set in a car, then the supporting cast is sure to make up for it. Samantha Morton(The Messenger
), Juliette Binoche(Cache
), Paul Giamatti(American Splendor
), and Mathieu Almaric(The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
) are all set to teach Mr. Pattinson a thing or two about acting. Cronenberg's daughter has tweeted the first image from the film, showing Pattinson and Gadon as Eric and Elise. You can check that out below...
