The Daily Beast interviewed David Cronenberg. Below is an excerpt of his interview where he discusses Rob. Check it out below:

Another young actor whose acting ability has polarized critics is Twilight star Robert Pattinson, who stars as a millionaire enduring a limo-driven odyssey across Manhattan in Cronenberg’s next film—an adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel Cosmopolis.

“I think that [skeptics] are being critical of the Twilight series; they’re not being critical of him,” says Cronenberg.“He’s just a cog in that machine and they’re confusing the nature of that project with him. He’s a terrific actor, trust me. I’ve directed some of the best in the world, and he’s terrific.”
