Reporting on the news from the European Film Market in Berlin, Screen Daily got quite a scoop. Cosmopolis producer, Paulo Branco, confirmed that Juliette Binoche will join the cast of Cosmopolis!

He [Branco] also said that there was now a confirmed shooting date for David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis (sold by Kinology but produced by Branco) of May 24. Paul Giamatti and Juliette Binoche have also joined the cast.

KINOLOGY

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism — when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments — are poised to crash. Eric Packer (Pattinson), a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol’s funeral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors — experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners — as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future. Based on the novel by Don DeLillo. (Giamatti plays the dual role of Benno Levin/Richard Steers. / Production office opens Mid-March.)

I got clarification from Larry regarding the April 4th date. That means production is slated to start on that date but doesn’t necessarily mean filming will start on that date. Pattinson will be wrapping up filming on Breaking Dawn at that time. As of right now, Cosmopolis filming start date is May 23rd. Tink of Cosmopolis Film
