Whether or not Cosmopolis will join the iconic likes of Scanners, Videodrome and Dead Ringers will be known after Dave Deprave’s latest plays at Cannes. The current UK release date for the film is 15th June and recently Robert Pattinson took part in a photo shoot for Premiere magazine where he pretends he’s in other Cronenberg films – the body horror classics.

The images are rather well imagined hence we’ve grabbed shots here for you to see. This could prove a pivotal movie for R. Pattz, an actor who wants to stop being a pin up for screaming twihards and be considered a real performer with proper thespian chops. Will Cosmopolis convince us?

New York City, not-too-distant-future: Eric Packer, a 28 year-old finance golden boy dreaming of living in a civilization ahead of this one, watches a dark shadow cast over the firmament of the Wall Street galaxy, of which he is the uncontested king. As he is chauffeured across midtown Manhattan to get a haircut at his father’s old barber, his anxious eyes are glued to the yuan’s exchange rate: it is mounting against all expectations, destroying Eric’s bet against it. Eric Packer is losing his empire with every tick of the clock. Meanwhile, an eruption of wild activity unfolds in the city’s streets. Petrified as the threats of the real world infringe upon his cloud of virtual convictions, his paranoia intensifies during the course of his 24-hour cross-town odyssey. Packer starts to piece together clues that lead him to a most terrifying secret: his imminent assassination.

UK Release Date: 15th June
