Robert Pattinson Lands First Post-'Twilight' Role In 'Cosmopolis'

Posted 12 hrs ago by Terri Schwartz in Casting News, Movie News, Twilight Forever!

Here's a sure sign that the apocalypse is coming "The Twilight Saga" is coming to a close: Robert Pattinson has booked his first major role for after "Breaking Dawn" wraps filming. According to Deadline, he'll be starring in director David Cronenberg's latest, "Cosmopolis," based on the Don DeLillo novel of the same name. Let's just say the role is a bit of a departure from "Twilight" and "Water for Elephants."

Rob will play Eric Packer, a financial wunderkind who risks his entire fortune to bet against the yen on one tumultuous day. His decision puts him in threat of assassination, and much of the film is set in the limousine that transports Eric from one location to the next. The drama is a study of capitalism and is set in a somewhat futuristic metropolis.

Apparently Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are also potentially involved in the film, which will make "Cosmopolis" without a doubt the best role choice of our favorite sparkly vampire's career to date. It's obvious that Rob is making calculated decisions regarding his post-"Twilight" projects, choosing more mature parts to prove himself as a great actor instead of just a heartthrob.

We'll be seeing Rob tonight at the People's Choice Awards, and he'll also present at the Golden Globes on January 14. And though it's not confirmed or anything, we still think that Rob's continued appearances at prestigious awards shows (we'll place our bets that he'll be at the Oscars) are an effort to woo skeptics into giving him a chance as a serious, non-blood sucking actor. With "Cosmopolis" and the upcoming "Water for Elephants," we think he actually has a chance.

Are you excited to hear Rob will star in "Cosmopolis"?

Kristen Stewart Spills 'Breaking Dawn' Details: 'I Was A Vampire This Morning'

Posted 8 hrs ago by Terri Schwartz in Movies, Twilight Forever!

We spent the first hour and a half of tonight's People's Choice Awards wondering where in the world Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were, but Kristen gave us our answer when she accepted the Favorite Movie Actress award on stage. After all, the "Twilight" trinity weren't about to let a silly thing like filming "Breaking Dawn" in Baton Rouge get in the way of attending the PCAs. The three hopped a "posh" private plane this evening just to make it to L.A. in time! That's dedication!

But which scene exactly were they filming? Well, Kristen admitted she was "a vampire this morning," so that pretty much says it all. In the words of MTV News editor Katie Byrne, "Spoiler alert!"

Looks like filming has progressed pretty quickly in Baton Rouge, since less than a month ago Bella and Edward were going on their honeymoon to Isle Esme. (Though they could be filming out of sequence.) But were you a little surprised Kristen gave away "Breaking Dawn: Part 1"'s big twist on national television? Or do you think everyone who would care about the series already knows Bella becomes a vampire?
