Well I've just finished reading Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis. It wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it wasn't a waste of time either (especially given its 200 page length). I can see Cronenberg doing some good things with it. I am still very worried about Robert Pattison being cast as the lead character (especially because the success of a film adaptation will largely hinge on him) , but if Cronenberg saw enough in him to cast him, I guess I should have a little faith. I can say I will be extremely looking forward to Paul Giamatti's performance as Benno Levin, one of the more interesting and important characters in the book. Rumor has it that the film will be released in late 2012 (I've most frequently seen December of 2012).

Re: David Cronenberg
David Cronenberg is a personal idol, so I can't wait for any of his movies to come out, no matter how subpar the trailers might be (and actually, I don't watch trailers, so I am not one to judge).
My opinion of Robert Pattinson is not high (I've seen a couple of those Twilight things, unfortunately), but if anyone can church him up, it's Cronenberg. I have high hopes.
