Robert Pattinson Will Lock Lips With Sarah Gadon in ‘Cosmopolis’

According to Entertainment one, the Canadian film actress, Sarah Gadon, has been cast along side Robert Pattinson in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis. Looks like Kristen Stewart has some competition. As Pattinson wraps up filming for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, he and Gadon will start filming for Cosmopolis, which is based on the book by the same name, written by Don DeLillo .

Keira Knightley was originally up for the role, but she turned it down, and now Gadon is the lucky lady. Gadon’s previous film credits include The Moth Diaries and Charlie Bartlett. She’s also worked with Cronenberg before in A Dangerous Mind as Emma Jung.

Cronenberg has wrapped up casting, but other than that nothing much is known about the film. Here’s a synopsis of the book: (B&N)

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism — when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments — are poised to crash. Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol’s funeral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors — experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners — as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future.

The cast of Cosmopolis includes:

• Robert Pattinson
• Sarah Gadon
• Paul Giamatti
• Juliette Binoche
• Samantha Morton
• Mathieu Amalric
