Robert Pattinson Scores Colin Farrell’s ‘Cosmopolis’ Role

While his “Twilight Saga” cast-mates are busy staging paparazzi photos (yea, I am talking to you Kellen Lutz!), Robert Pattinson is busy booking more acting jobs.

Aside from his roles in the upcoming ‘Water for Elephants’ and ‘Bel Ami,’ Pattinson is now slated to take on the lead role of Eric Packer in the film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel, ‘Cosmopolis.’

Via Deadline:

“[Pattinson]will play Eric Packer. A financial wunderkind, Packer risks his entire fortune to bet against the yen on a tumultuous day. His deed puts him in the crosshairs for assassination in a drama that is a study of capitalism in a slightly futuristic metropolis. Most of the scenes in the book take place in the limousine that transports Packer from place to place. Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are also reportedly doing the film, but those same reports had Colin Farrell poised to take the lead role.”

Unlike other young actors who seem to take any role offered to them (now I am still talking to you Kellen Lutz!), Pattinson has been quite selective with his roles, choosing to star alongside Oscar winners such as Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz, and now Marion Cotillard.

Robert Pattinson and Nicole Kidman to Make Erotic Film- UPDATE

Apparently, it’s a Nicole Kidman news day. This usually means that I down a bag of Better Made chips and a vodka martini before writing, but, when you throw in Robert Pattinson and the word ‘Erotic’, I can managed.

According to various reports, Sparklepants is taking his unicorn patch (as The Dame calls it) back to his native London in February in order to begin production of the film “Bel Ami” with Nicole Kidman.

“The story [is] about a young man’s rise to the top of Parisian high society in the 1890s, via the beds of the city’s most glamorous and influential women.”

This isn’t the first time Pattinson has made a sexually charged movie. The ‘Twilight’ star also played Salvadore Dali in ‘Little Ashes‘ last year which had him prancing around nearly nude and getting-it-on with his male co-star.

Production Weekly confirmed the news via their Twitter page pretty much confirming the news.

I am not sure how I feel about this Kittens. Though I never pass up an opportunity to see Sparklepants in films listed as “erotically charged,” the thought of him writhing around with Kidman makes me want to pop in my DVD of ‘Twilight’ and take a cold shower.

UPDATE:

According to the folks over at Gossip Cop-Kidman is already out. Or, was never really in to begin with.

Via Gossip Cop:

“What’s NOT true is that Kidman will star opposite Pattinson. While she did consider the project, the film’s timing didn’t work out. Kidman’s rep told Gossip Cop that ‘Bel Ami’ is ‘categorically not happening for her.’”

This has saved me from bringing a barf-bag to the premiere.
