Kevin Durand Joins Rob in Cosmopolis

Variety reports the cast of Cosmopolis is about to expand by one. Kevin Durand, who'll next be seen in Real Steel with Hugh Jackman, is in negotiations to join David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis. Cronenberg adapted Don DeLillo's book for the screen and will produce as well as direct.

In addition to Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, Samantha Morton and Juliette Binoche are attached to the project. If Durand's deal is finalized, he'll be playing Pattinson's chief of security.


From the publisher's official site: "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, 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."

Filming is expected to get underway in May.
