Robert Pattinson's latest film, Cosmopolis, premiered in Cannes on May 25th.  GoodReads describes the book of the same name - upon which the movie is based - as follows:

"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.

ET Canada has confirmed that Robert Pattinson will star as Eric Packer in Cosmopolis. This was first reported by Deadline Hollywood last Thursday.
