Robert Pattinson - Cosmopolis (heyuguys.co.uk)The next instalment in Robert Pattinson’s distancing from the saga that is Twilight see the Brit tackle David Cronenberg’s ‘Cosmopolis’ and we have the first image from the flick for your personal enjoyment (this may or may not be true).

R-Patz plays Eric Packer, a multi-millionaire on a “24 hour odyssey” across Manhattan; as his driver has to take a lengthy diversion to get the rich man a haircut, as presidential visits, attacks by anarchists and a rapper’s funeral all get in the way.  Sounds suitably odd for Cronenberg we think you’ll agree!

Check out the snap below as dear Robert looks charismatically rich, as he charms the pants off Sarah Gadon in what is clearly not a stretch limo…bloody cheapskate millionaires.

Cosmopolis won’t reach out cinema shores until an yet to be announced date in 2012, but has a rather superb supporting cast in Paul Giamatti, Juliette Binoche and Kevin Durand.
