After witnessing all these seemingly fabricated dramas over the years simply to promote a movie or a particular actor, I can’t say I believe everything I hear about the Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson bullshit. It all seems so damn convenient, that’s all. The “Twilight” series is ending, Robert Pattinson has a really big film hitting theaters & both stars are officially going their own ways after spending the last few years attached at the hip—regardless of whether it was true love or for promotional reasons.

“Cosmopolis,” the new film by famed director David Cronenberg, is based on the novel of the same name by Don DeLillo and stars Robert Pattinson. The film opens this weekend. Here’s some juice:

Billionaire Eric Packer (Pattinson) rides slowly across Manhattan in his limousine that he uses as his office while on his way to his preferred barber, even though there are traffic jams. They are caused by a visit of the president of the United States and by the funeral of Eric’s favourite musician, whose music he plays in one of his two private elevators. He has recently married. In the car and elsewhere, he has meetings with his wife, who does not want sex with him, to save energy that she needs for her work. Instead, he has sex with other women. In his car, while having a meeting, he has his doctor carry out his daily medical checkup; Eric worries about the doctor’s finding that he has an asymmetrical prostate. After devastating currency speculation, he kills his bodyguard and follows a path of further self-destruction, including visiting his potential murderer and deliberately shooting himself in the hand.
