ROBERT PATTINSON IN TORONTO FOR PREMIERE OF "COSMOPOLIS"

Toronto Premiere of Cosmopolis - June 2012

Just one year after wrapping Production on David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, The Twilight Saga Megastar Robert Pattinson returns to the City where it all happened.  Premiering earlier this evening at TIFF Bell Lightbox, Co-Stars Sarah Gadon, Emily Hampshire, Kevin Durand and Paul Giamatti joined-in on the fun with Cronenberg, presenting the Film to Toronto Fans.  

Hundreds gathered in front of the Building with some Fans camping-out 30-plus hours in advance for a chance to get up-close to Pattinson today.  Although many Fans succeeded in getting Autographs and Photos with Pattinson, there were a number of complaints heard from others, especially those who lined-up overnight.  Without any particular structure and Barricades finally being set-up less than an hour before the Red Carpet began, many who waited overnight saw others by-pass them to the front of the queue.  One upset Fan tells me, "This isn't fair. I got nothing!". Another tells me, "This is really disappointing.".  Some felt the Venue wasn't particularly Fan-friendly without a sufficient area designated for Fans to wait.

Pattinson as always looked handsome in Dior Homme, arriving on the Red Carpet to screaming Fans shortly after 7:00 PM, making his way briskly though his Fans.  He spent most of the earlier part of the day doing Interviews out of his Hotel together with Giamatti, Durand, Gadon, Cronenberg and Hampshire.  Later in the day, he along with a four-SUV Fleet took an underground entrance into the CBC Building to do Interviews with George Stroumboulopoulos.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL & MÉLANIE LAURENT IN TORONTO FOR "AN ENEMY"

Jake Gyllenhaal & Mélanie Laurent in Toronto - May 2012

Exciting day in Toronto as filming for Denis Villeneuve's An Enemy took to the streets, giving some female Onlookers quite the shock when they saw Jake Gyllenhaal emerge out of a TTC Streetcar! The talented Star of Zodiac and Brokeback Mountain has made many a visit to the City in the past, his last being a Press Tour for Disney's Prince of Persia back in May 2010.  Seeing him film here however, is a rarity.

Gyllenhaal carries the weight of two roles in the Thriller, playing a History Teacher who spots his Doppelgänger on a DVD Rental and makes it a mission to locate him, flipping their lives upside-down. Also on-set today was French Actress Mélanie Laurent, whose profile was heightened significantly domestically with 2009 Quentin Tarantino Flick, Inglourious Basterds. 

Today's filming saw Gyllenhaal and Laurent on a Streetcar, him then following her to her Office in hot pursuit.  The Film Crew took several precautions to protect their Talent and Gyllenhaal was veiled by not one, but two umbrellas.  Fans watched across-the-street in awe as he ran through multiple takes, snapping Photos with their Cell Phones and Cameras.

ROBERT PATTINSON TO RETURN TO TORONTO FOR CANADIAN "COSMOPOLIS" PREMIERE

Robert Pattinson in Toronto - May 2011

Yes, indeed! Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon and David Cronenberg will be promoting Toronto-filmed Cosmopolis in the City on Monday, June 4, 2012. Although the Venue for the Red Carpet Premiere is being kept under wraps, bank on this being big!

Toronto's Gadon who already is in-town working on Denis Villeneuve's An Enemy, perhaps might be bringing along her Co-Star Jake Gyllenhaal? We'll see...

eOne Films releases Cosmopolis in Canada on Friday, June 8, 2012.

SARAH GADON, MÉLANIE LAURENT & ISABELLA ROSSELLINI ADDED TO CAST OF "AN ENEMY"

Sarah Gadon & Robert Pattinson in Toronto - May 2012

As if her "Next It Girl" status needed any additional confirmation, Toronto's Sarah Gadon has just been cast in Denis Villeneuve's upcoming Thriller, An Enemy. Starring alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Gadon will be filming in her Hometown beginning later this month, just one year after working on David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis here opposite Robert Pattinson.

In addition to Gadon, Inglourious Basterds Star Mélanie Laurent and the legendary Isabella Rossellini also have been added to the Cast as confirmed by Deadline.  Alliance Films will be distributing in Canada.

An Enemy has Gyllenhaal starring as a Man who rents a Movie, to see his Doppellgänger. After going on a mission to find him, both their lives are flipped upside-down. The Actor was just seen partying with Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Parents in New York City last night at The Top of the Standard.

"COSMOPOLIS", "ON THE ROAD", "THE PAPERBOY", "LAWLESS" & MORE TO PREMIERE IN CANNES

Sarah Gadon & Robert Pattinson filming Cosmopolis in Toronto - May 2011

The complete Line-up for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival (May 16-27, 2012) has been announced and it will be a Twilight Cannes-vention for sorts with Megastar Couple  Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart each represented with both Toronto-filmed Cosmopolis (David Cronenberg) and On the Road  (Walter Salles) respectively. Both are listed as being in-competition for the prestigious Palme d'Or.

Also going in with a lot of buzz is Lawless starring Tom Hardy, Shia LeBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce and Mia Wasikowska. The Paperboy (Lee Daniels) starring Zac Efron, John Cusack and Matthew McConaughey, also comes highly-touted.

In addition to David Cronenberg being represented this year, his Son Brandon Cronenberg makes his directorial Feature Debut with Toronto-filmed Antiviral which stars Sarah Gadon (who also stars in Cosmopolis) and Malcolm McDowell, whom we interviewed recently.

Director Wes Anderson also is represented with Moonrise Kingdom starring Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis and Tilda Swinton, which is selected as the Festival's Opening Night Film, screening out-of-competition.

Here is the complete Line-up for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival:

OFFICIAL "COSMOPOLIS" POSTER & FRENCH TEASER TRAILER

Official Artwork for Cosmopolis

Although we're still waiting on a North American release date for it, several overseas dates have been inked ranging from May to December 2012 throughout Europe and Australia.  This saddens me a bit as it means that Toronto won't be hosting its actual World Premiere at TIFF 2012, although there still is a possibility it may be presented still as a Gala here come September. Fingers crossed.

Above is the official Artwork for David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, filmed in Toronto last Summer in what appears to be a Photo from his Photographer Daughter Caitlin, who was responsible for some of the first Stills which surfaced. With a French Teaser Trailer being released last week, the Film has the Director giving us what he does best - extreme violence and tons of edge.  I already am feeling some hints of his earlier work like Videodrome and Crash. This certainly isn't the same Robert Pattinson we saw in Twilight and Water for Elephants.  Nope.  Eric Packer has arrived!

One of the biggest shocks upon perusing the Poster in-detail is that Somolian-Canadian Singer K'Naan stars in the Film too. Will there be a Musical Sequence too?  I kid.

Watch the Teaser below:

SARAH GADON AT TIFF 2011 WITH "A DANGEROUS METHOD" & "THE MOTH DIARIES"

Sarah Gadon & Mr. Will-W.

Finally, a Photo together with Sarah Gadon!  The gorgeous Toronto Actress was spotted coming out for a break during her Press Day for Thriller The Moth Diaries.  Gadon is on the verge of something huge after performances in one of the leading candidates for Best Picture at the Oscars, A Dangerous Method and also having finished her work this Summer on Cosmopolis, starring Robert Pattinson - both Films by David Cronenberg.  Stunning.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY AT TIFF FOR "A DANGEROUS METHOD"

Keira Knightley in Toronto - September 2011

The Premiere for David Cronenberg's latest work A Dangerous Method was held last night at Roy Thomson Hall, but earlier in the day the Press Conference for the Psychological Drama was held. Unfortunately though, one of its biggest stars Michael Fassbender was missing-in-action although hopefully that will change soon.  Regardless, the Film continues to garner an alarming amount of praise and I'd say at this point it's a front-runner in the race for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Keira Knightley plays Sabina, who is caught in a torrid affair with her Psychologist Carl Jung (Fassbender), and she is getting a lot of buzz for the her intense performance in the Film. When I saw Knightley leaving her Press Conference yesterday unfortunately she had been in a rush and had to tell her Fans she wouldn't be able to stop, as was the case with a normally Fan-loving Viggo Mortensen who plays Sigmund Freud in A Dangerous Method. 

Director David Cronenberg - the Pride of Toronto  - however, was more than accommodating being a bit more generous with Fans, as was fellow Torontonian Sarah Gadon, who also will be appearing in his next Film Cosmopolis alongside Robert Pattinson.  Jokingly, Gadon told Fans "I wish you'd find another Photo of me", commenting on having to sign this same Photo she often gets asked to sign.

FIRST OFFICIAL "DREAM HOUSE" POSTER

After being pushed-back due to Reshoots here in Toronto earlier this year, it appears that Dream House finally is ready for release.

This new Poster for the Jim Sheridan Horror starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts has just surfaced. They had that many big names and could only allocate that little bit of space to cram them all in?  Perhaps this Poster would be better fitted to a Film called Creeps on a Doorknob?

With over two months to go before its September 30, 2011 release, we have yet to even see a proper Trailer for the Film. This is beginning to scare me ...and not in a good way!

There is still some thought of it receiving a Premiere in September at TIFF, possibly as part of its Midnight Madness line-up? We'll soon know!

See the Poster below:

NEW TRAILER FOR "A DANGEROUS METHOD" FROM DAVID CRONENBERG

Still from A Dangerous Method

"Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable to go on living".

Just released is this new Trailer for David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method and everything about it screams Oscars.  Keira Knightley looks like she is delivering some career-best work here as submissive Seductress Sabina and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung is outright intense.  Cronenberg, who is in Toronto right now working with Sarah Gadon and Robert Pattinson on Cosmopolis, first teamed with that Actress on this Film.

No release date has been set yet, but we're looking at Fall 2011 and this one likely will do the Festival rounds at TIFF this September.

See the Trailer in full below:

ROBERT PATTINSON GREETS FANS ON TORONTO SET OF "COSMOPOLIS"

Robert Pattinson greeting Toronto Fans

Although I wasn't feeling particularly amazing at all today, I got some rest and pulled myself together by Evening for all you RPattz Fans - only because you've all been so wonderful to me!

Cosmopolis continued into its third day of Filming here in Toronto, with one of my favourite Diners in Little Portugal providing the backdrop. The Production Crew, after taking measures to Paparazzi-proof their Set yesterday on Mercer St., took similar precautions again today in keeping Megastar Robert Pattinson's Trailer out of sight. Fans waiting the entire day by the front of the Restaurant failed to get a glimpse of him all day with him being ushered in and out through the back of the establishment.

After locating Pattinson's Trailer, I found a few devout and savvy Fans who had been waiting patiently the entire day in the area.  Unfortunately they had failed to catch his attention as he went in and out of his Trailer.  One Fan after growing tired of waiting, finally approached Pattinson's Handler Dean, asking if there was any remote possibility of obtaining an Autograph even.  She however had been told by him, "Probably not - there's too many people around", shielding his attention-shy Client.  In total there were six Fans in-waiting.

Around 8:00 PM a glimmer of hope appeared as Pattinson entered his Trailer again for one final wardrobe change for the day - a change back into his Everyday Wear: a Stussy T-shirt, his Long Beach 49ers Baseball Cap and a pair of Jeans.  He officially had wrapped for the day after a long, grueling day in the Heatwave which has hit the City.  After flagging him over, we were shocked to see Pattinson actually respond to us, coming over to personalize Photos and Magazines for us one-by-one in his best possible Penmanship.   

ROBERT PATTINSON ON THE SET OF "COSMOPOLIS" IN TORONTO

Robert Pattinson on the set of Cosmopolis

It's official, Toronto is P.O.'d, or Pattinsoned-out. At least for today anyway. The British Hearththrob took over Financial District today with Filming taking place for David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis - the first official outdoor shoot for the Film in the City.

With the street transformed into New York City with an abundance of yellow Cabs and its signature Newsstands, much of today's filming centered around a Deli (click here to see). In attendance today were cast members Kevin Durand (who we spotted yesterday in Yorkville) and Sarah Gadon.

Fans who lined-up early, were kept at a distance from their hopes of meeting the Twilight Saga Hunk. Handlers told them, "We won't be bringing him over there!", managing expectations accordingly. This didn't prevent the determined from trying though as onlookers got a generously helping of Pattinson as he went in and out of his Trailer onto the Set just one block over.

An attention-shy Pattinson had his Lunch delivered to him in his deluxe Trailer from Craft Services and was seen with a bottle of Nestea Iced Green Tea in his hand walking into his Make-up Trailer for a touch-up.  Noticing Paparazzi and Fans trying to snap away, he at one point tried hiding behind his Handler, before toughening-up and braving the Cameras.  One Paparazzi got in a little too close and was warned, "You better stay back or I'm gonna make sure everyone else gets their Photos except you!".  Ouch.

Wrapping around 5:00 PM, Fans received a friendly wave from Pattinson before he headed off for the day.

Enjoy this Clip I got of Pattinson below heading to his Make-up Trailer:

DAVID CRONENBERG & CAITLIN CRONENBERG ON TORONTO SET OF "COSMOPOLIS"

David Cronenberg & Mr. Will-W.

Although everybody pretty much is excited about Robert Pattinson bring in Toronto - and rightfully so - for Cosmopolis, the real Star of it all for me is our v. own David Cronenberg.  The acclaimed and celebrated Director of Classics Videodrome, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, Crash, The Dead Zone and one of my favourites The Fly, took time to hang-out with Fans despite being busy at work and focused while filming.  An honour. Truly starstruck, I had to tell him how proud I am of him as a Canadian Film Buff and he was gracious about it, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and posing for a Photo without hassle.  Cosmopolis is his 20th Feature Film.

It appears also his Daughter Caitlin is making quite a name for herself  as a Photographer.  In fact, she is the designated Stills Photographer for Cosmopolis.  She also has been Tweeting Set Photos generously from her Twitter account and to keep up-to-speed on that, you can follow her here.

To see more Photos I got from the Set earlier today, click here and here.

ROBERT PATTINSON & SARAH GADON ON TORONTO SET OF "COSMOPOLIS"

Sarah Gadon & Robert Pattinson on set of Cosmopolis

Less talking, more gawking.  Here are some Photos I got of Toronto's Sarah Gadon and Robert Pattinson filming a Deli Scene for Cosmopolis earlier today.  The David Cronenberg Film will be filming in the City until the middle of July.

For more info and photos of Pattinson, click on this Post I did earlier today.

I will note to those of you looking to meet Gadon, she is not - I repeat - not Fan friendly at all.  At least while working from what I can see...  I received multiple messages telling me how Fans were denied Autographs and Photos with her throughout the day.  Sorry - if it makes you feel any better, she said "No" to me also.

See some more Photos below:

FIRST LOOK AT "COSMOPOLIS"

Still from Cosmopolis

Photographer Caitlin Cronenberg (yes, Daughter of Director David) just Tweeted this first look at Cosmopolis, which began filming Monday in Toronto. It is said that much of the filming takes place within a Limousine, so this is just a peek at what we can expect more of in the coming weeks.  Lookin' good!

Seen here are Robert Pattinson as Eric and our v. own Sarah Gadon as Elise.  eOne Films will be distributing in Canada.

MARION COTILLARD DELIVERS BABY BOY

Marion Cotillard & Mr. Will-W. - TIFF 2010

Congratulations, Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet! Two French Couple are the proud parents of a Baby Boy.  Le nom du bébé? Marcel est son nom ...and he was born last night. And yes I can clarify he definitely isn't mine, although you might think otherwise with all the love beaming from our eyes in the above Photo taken last September in Toronto.

Although we'll be missing Oscar-winning Cotillard in Toronto this Summer, we'll soon see her in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises alongside Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway.

Cotillard as you might recall originally was a frontrunner opposite to star Robert Pattinson in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis set to begin filming next week. The role eventually went to Toronto's Sarah Gadon.

ROBERT PATTINSON POSSIBLE IN TORONTO FOR NEW CRONENBERG FILM "COSMOPOLIS"

Robert Pattinson

It's about time Toronto got a break as our Filming Production list of late has been sparse enough to strip us of our "Hollywood North" honours! But get this, Director David Cronenberg has cast Twilight's Robert Pattinson in his next project Cosmopolis as revealed by Deadline. Colin Farrell originally was considered for the role of Eric Parker, but it is Pattinson in the end who wins the heart of the acclaimed Canadian Storyteller. And besides, Farrell will likely get a much bigger paycheque for his work on the new Total Recall Film, also shooting here later in the year with that $200 million budget. Earlier reports had Cronenberg set on Toronto as a locale for the shoot.

The character of Eric is said to be a dangerous risk-taking Businessman who gambles his fortune and potentially his life.
