On the eve of the big Cannes Film Festival premiere for his new film Cosmopolis, Robert Pattinson is dropping some news about his future slate of projects.

In a recent interview with Inrocks Magazine, Rob announced that, on top of The Band, an in-the-works film about the band that played with Bob Dylan, he’s planning to have a second round with famed auteur David Cronenberg.

“I’m filming another movie with Cronenberg, but I don’t know when he wants to start filming,” the 26-year-old heartthrob says. “It’s going to be his first one in France, and he promises it’s going to be very strange.”

With all the hype surrounding Cosmopolis, it isn’t surprising that Rob would want to work with David again so quickly. But what do you think?

Are you excited that Rob is delving further into the indie world? Or do you wish he would come back to the mainstream? Let us know!

沪江娱乐快讯：由大卫·柯南伯格执导、罗伯特·帕丁森主演的影片《大都会》(Cosmopolis)入围了今年第65届法国戛纳国际电影节。电影的火热也让主演罗伯特·帕丁森的人气水涨船高。日前在戛纳参加电影首映的帕丁森表示，计划与柯南伯格导演再度合作。“这将会是一部有些怪的电影。”他说道。

显然，帕丁森正在尝试从偶像明星逐渐转型为实力派演员。看来，《暮光之城》中的那个吸血鬼“爱德华”已经成为过去时了。
