The revolving door that is David Cronenberg’s adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel Cosmopolis may once again be in motion. C7enma [via The Playlist] seems to think that both Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient) and Mathieu Amalric (Quantum of Solace) have joined a cast that currently features Robert Pattinson and Paul Giamatti. Although details on their prospective roles are non-existant at this time, the report does confirm that Cosmopolis is set to commence its nine-week shoot in Toronto on May 24th of this year.
For those just tuning in, Cosmopolis tells the story of a newlywed billionaire (Pattinson) who loses his entire fortune (not to mention his blushing new bride) over the course of one really bad day. Prior to Pattinson’s involvement, Colin Farrell was set to star alongside the now happily pregnant Marion Cotillard in the film. As it stands, the role of Pattinson’s wife has yet to be filled (given her age, I would be surprised to see Binoche here) although previous rumors have placed Keira Knightley in that spot. Of course, we’ll keep you up to date with the latest Cosmopolis news as it becomes available.

Its a pity Juliette Binoche is not in many American movies.
I have most of her French and foreign films. I find it odd that this beautiful woman and accomplished actress is not so often seen in American movies. Pity…
Can’t wait to see her performance in this one.
I really think Cronenberg should have sucked it up this time and shot the movie in NYC. This is a New York story, and the setting is important; it needs to be convincing.

Book was great, can’t see Rob as taking lead in this at all. Collin would have nailed it!!
guess will have to take a leap of fate.
