Yesterday saw publication of the first section of our preview of Cosmopolis, a soon-to-shoot production that will find revered horror director David Cronenberg barking instructions at the face which shifted a trillion pieces of Twilight merchandise, Robert Pattinson. Today's part two focuses on the content of Don DeLillo's source novel, as we speculate on some of the acts R-Patz will be called upon to perform.

A bother it may be, but it would be beneficial for all concerned if you check out part one of our Cosmopolis preview ahead of proceeding any further with this concluding segment. Go on, we'll wait right here for you. Promise.

Done? Super. So now you're all to speed as to who isn't doing the movie (Colin Farrell, Marion Cotillard, Keira Knightley), as well as who is (Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, director David Cronenberg). Which means we can now delve into people, places and events of Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis, the 2003 novel upon which the new movie is based.
People including billionaire Eric Packer and his secret nemesis Benno Levin (the respective roles Pattinson and Giamatti will most likely play). Places confined – if that is quite the right word – to New York City, where the whole of the book takes place. And events including murder, infidelity, mass nudity, and a whole lot of driving around at very slow speeds.

由大卫·柯南伯格执导、罗伯特·帕丁森主演的新作《大都市》自开拍以来一直备受关注，除了超人气男主角外，其配角戏骨阵容也堪称华丽：法国女星朱丽叶·比诺什、凯撒奖影帝马修·阿马立克、保罗·吉亚玛提、萨曼莎·莫顿、莎拉·加顿。今日本片终于揭开神秘面纱，首度曝光先行版预告片，对《危险方法》表示挠头的影迷这次可以大呼过瘾了，柯南伯格的重口味又回来了。本片的上映日期也一同曝光：2012年5月23日。

本款预告只有短短33秒，但信息量之大却让人目不暇接。充满迷幻感的画面搭配酷烈的配乐极具压迫感，肉体、暴力、伤口、血浆、性爱、工业等诸多大卫·柯南伯格招牌元素均快速闪过，从之前曝光的剧情、剧照与片场照来看，你绝对想不到此片风格竟会如此凛冽。

去年大卫·柯南伯格聚焦精神分析学泰斗弗洛伊德与荣格的《危险方法》曾入围威尼斯电影界主竞赛单元，但最终颗粒无收，显然柯南伯格严谨的学术路线没有抓住评委的心。而从这款预告来看，《大都市》很有可能是柯南伯格回归招牌重口味的力作，而偶像男星罗伯特·帕丁森将被调教出何种另类演技也值得期待。《大都市》也是今年戛纳电影节预期种子选手。

《大都市》根据唐·德里罗（Don DeLillo）2003年出版的同名小说改编，唐·德里罗被誉为“20世纪的狄更斯”。小说讲述了一名年仅28岁的亿万富翁穿行于曼哈顿繁华街市的24小时冒险历程，途中他遇到了很多人和事。
