Trailer 2: Cosmopolis

More Pattinson, eh, more Cronenberg, yay.

Ok I really don't want to give this guy any more attention, but trailer 2 makes the movie look even a little more awesome.

I kind of hate how he's gunning for this sex symbol status in every movie. He needs to do some wacky/funny shit to gain my respect, instead of the brooding sexualized mope repeated constantly. Needs to be more like that Harry Potter guy. The movie as a whole doesn't look too awful though.

Alright, I think it's about time for the Pattinson hate to stop. After 4 movies, it's just gotten really tiring. The dude was hired to play a really dull character in some crappy movies when he was a kid. And he still can't live it down. Maybe after Breaking Dawn Part II comes out, we can finally just move on?

All I know is he was fine as Cedric Diggory. and he looks okay in Bel Ami. And this flick looks like a delicious Cronenberg buffet. Yum!

A really great concept but Paul Giamatti was the big hook for me.

Come to think of it, I've never seen a Pattison movie, maybe this'll be the first one.

I don't hate him, hell I don't even really hate anyone from the Twilight movies but I don't think he is a good actor.

What I was trying to say is that I just don't think he's had a fair shot yet. Even the best actors give bad performances in bad movies.

This looks interesting visually maybe even from a storytelling perspective but Pattinson just sucks all of that away he just looks totally blank

Not even Taylor Lautner?

Am I the only one who had no clue what that was about.

I can't believe they're making a movie out of Don DeLillo's work, but then again, I can't think of a better director to do it, except perhaps Lynch. Oh well. I look forward to seeing it.

@Funky_Pasta_Tommy: Considering the book is a postmodernist construct, don't expect the actual movie to be any clearer either. :/
