Juliette Binoche Added to David Cronenberg’s‘Cosmopolis,’Mathieu Almaric May Also Be Cast | /Film

Here’s a very good turn of events forDavid Cronenberg‘sadaptationof theDon DeLillonovelCosmopolis, which is now scheduled to shoot in late May.

The filmstarsRobert Pattinsonas a young billionaire, who during the course of one day traveling across Manhattan in his limo, manages to cheat on his wife, deal with protesters and another antagonist or two, and encounter some financial trouble. We don’t know who’ll play his wife (Marion Cotillard wasonce set, and Keira Knightley wasrumored, thendebunked) but we do know thatPaul Giamattiwill beone of the antagonists.

And nowJuliette Binocheis in the cast, andMathieu Almaricmay be along for the ride, too.

Screen Dailymentions Ms. Bincoche without specifying what role she’ll play. When Colin Farrell was cast as the lead I couldpossiblyhave seen her playing his wife. Opposite Robert Pattinson, however, that seems less likely.

Andc7nema(viathe Playlist) mentions her as well, also saying that Mathieu Almaric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,Munich,Quantum of Solace) is signed.

The site further announces, via production company Alfama Films, thatHoward Shorewill score the film andPeter Suschitzkywill shoot it. Both of those men have worked with David Cronenberg constantly (Peter Suschitzky has shot all the director’s features sinceDead Ringers; Howard Shore has scored all his features sinceThe Brood, with the exception ofThe Dead Zone) and it would be more remarkable if they were not on board. But it’s great to know they’re back— I’d guess thatCarol Spierwill work as production designer andDenise Cronenbergwill be the costumer, too.
