Yesterday saw publication of the first section of our preview of Cosmopolis, a soon-to-shoot production that will find revered horror director David Cronenberg barking instructions at the face which shifted a trillion pieces of Twilight merchandise, Robert Pattinson. Today's part two focuses on the content of Don DeLillo's source novel, as we speculate on some of the acts R-Patz will be called upon to perform.

A bother it may be, but it would be beneficial for all concerned if you check out part one of our Cosmopolis preview ahead of proceeding any further with this concluding segment. Go on, we'll wait right here for you. Promise.

Done? Super. So now you're all to speed as to who isn't doing the movie (Colin Farrell, Marion Cotillard, Keira Knightley), as well as who is (Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, director David Cronenberg). Which means we can now delve into people, places and events of Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis, the 2003 novel upon which the new movie is based.
People including billionaire Eric Packer and his secret nemesis Benno Levin (the respective roles Pattinson and Giamatti will most likely play). Places confined – if that is quite the right word – to New York City, where the whole of the book takes place. And events including murder, infidelity, mass nudity, and a whole lot of driving around at very slow speeds.

由大衛(wèi)·柯南伯格執(zhí)導(dǎo)、羅伯特·帕丁森主演的新作《大都市》自開拍以來一直備受關(guān)注，除了超人氣男主角外，其配角戲骨陣容也堪稱華麗：法國女星朱麗葉·比諾什、凱撒獎(jiǎng)影帝馬修·阿馬立克、保羅·吉亞瑪提、薩曼莎·莫頓、莎拉·加頓。今日本片終于揭開神秘面紗，首度曝光先行版預(yù)告片，對(duì)《危險(xiǎn)方法》表示撓頭的影迷這次可以大呼過癮了，柯南伯格的重口味又回來了。本片的上映日期也一同曝光：2012年5月23日。

本款預(yù)告只有短短33秒，但信息量之大卻讓人目不暇接。充滿迷幻感的畫面搭配酷烈的配樂極具壓迫感，肉體、暴力、傷口、血漿、性愛、工業(yè)等諸多大衛(wèi)·柯南伯格招牌元素均快速閃過，從之前曝光的劇情、劇照與片場(chǎng)照來看，你絕對(duì)想不到此片風(fēng)格竟會(huì)如此凜冽。

去年大衛(wèi)·柯南伯格聚焦精神分析學(xué)泰斗弗洛伊德與榮格的《危險(xiǎn)方法》曾入圍威尼斯電影界主競(jìng)賽單元，但最終顆粒無收，顯然柯南伯格嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)膶W(xué)術(shù)路線沒有抓住評(píng)委的心。而從這款預(yù)告來看，《大都市》很有可能是柯南伯格回歸招牌重口味的力作，而偶像男星羅伯特·帕丁森將被調(diào)教出何種另類演技也值得期待?！洞蠖际小芬彩墙衲觋┘{電影節(jié)預(yù)期種子選手。

《大都市》根據(jù)唐·德里羅（Don DeLillo）2003年出版的同名小說改編，唐·德里羅被譽(yù)為“20世紀(jì)的狄更斯”。小說講述了一名年僅28歲的億萬富翁穿行于曼哈頓繁華街市的24小時(shí)冒險(xiǎn)歷程，途中他遇到了很多人和事。
