A NSFW international teaser trailer has gone online for David Cronenberg‘s Cosmopolis. The teaser provides the first look at the tone of the film, and more importantly, Robert Pattinson‘s performance in it. In Cosmopolis, Pattinson plays a newlywed billionaire who ends up losing his bride and his billions in a single day. Even when Pattinson isn’t doing Twilight, he’s hewed towards romantic dramas with Remember Me and Water for Elephants. However, as Twilight draws to a close, his upcoming films will perhaps provide him with the necessary escape velocity to get away from Edward Cullen. In Bel Ami, he plays a character who fucks his way up the social ladder of 1890s Paris, and in Cosmopolis, his character purposely shoots himself in the hand. I can take or leave Bel Ami, but Cosmopolis looks pretty great, and I’m eager to see Pattinson break free of his famous mopey vampire.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film, based on the novel by Don DeLillo, also stars Sarah Gadon, Kevin Durand, Jay Baruchel, Samantha Morton, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, and Mathieu Amalric. Cosmopolis will likely open sometime this year. [Update: We've added a new poster for the film after the jump.]

wow… what was that?
But rob is more suitable than farrel, i think.
“lol, I’m going to laugh my ass off if this tries to be serious.”
The problem is Farrell would Pattinson under the table. Although I’m not sure why you even brought up Farrell. It has no relevance to this film.
Actually Colin Farrell was originally casted to play Eric Parker. That’s why Lily mentioned him. I guess there was some schedule issue with Total Recall and Cosmopolis so Farrell backed out and they recasted Robert Pattinson to play Eric Parker. Imo I think Rob is a better fit for this movie. I mean I don’t think the movie would be half as shocking and taboo to viewers if Colin was the main star. I mean I think we can all picture Colin Farrell taking a piss in his limo and effing girls all day in real life. So not much shock going on there. However if it becomes way more shocking if you have Twilight golden boy sparkes doing it.
Looks like Cronenberg is back! Not that his Viggo trilogy wasn’t good. It’s just nice to see him doing what made him such a badass in the first place.
I wonder if Cronenberg could get Pattinson to play the lead in his new HBO series about the mad doctor…
I have absolutely no idea what I just witnessed, but count me in.
so excited, and looks like Edward pulled it off in that minisecond
Trust me, this will rock. Can anyone tell me what NSFW means?
If i’m not mistaken, NSFW means Not Suitable For Work… on the other hand… this movie looks insane!!!!
It kinda looks like Videodrome 2 haha. Looks great!
WTF!!!!
And was that a transexual pointing a gun with a laser site on his chest?
I have seen way too many of these types of hyper a$$, quick cut, convoluted plot based movies.
A dinosaur, shooting himself in the hand….
Count…me…out
Looks like its on acid. The good news is Pattinson is trying not to be Edward, and I think he just might have the acting chops to pull it off.

Trust me, this will rock. Can anyone tell me what NSFW means
