Some double acts just make sense. Morecambe & Wise. Cameron & Clegg. Cronenberg & Pattinson...
That's right, the 26 year-old Twilight hunk teams up with the master of cerebral cinema for this month's Cannes favourite, Cosmopolis, a gritty drama in which the actor gives a performance most people, including myself, didn't know he had in him.
"That's my biggest problem, confidence," laughs Pattinson. "I'm taking baby steps, and hoping people will keep employing me!"
Cosmopolis is the latest in Pattinson's non-Twilight career, which has seen the likes of Water For Elephants but never Generic Robot Blockbuster IV. "If there is a way to maintain a career doing small, interesting movies, I would take that option" he says. "I'm not buff enough for robot movies."
With Twilight about to bow out, he may be ready to leave R-Pattz ("My mum calls me that occasionally") behind, along with the screaming teens. "I can't see tons of people watching Cosmopolis and screaming at it," he laughs.
"It' would be amazing if they did!"
Cosmopolis is out on June 15.
When MTV News caught up with "Twilight" producer Wyck Godfrey recently to discuss Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's chances of another Best Kiss win at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 3), he revealed that he and Pattinson might be cooking up some post-"Breaking Dawn - Part 2" work plans, in the form of a big-screen adaptation of a crime thriller.
"There's a book called "The Professionals," which is a new crime thriller that Rob has read and really likes," Godfrey said of Owen Laukkanen's well-received debut novel. "We're just starting to look at a writer [to adapt it]. It's kind of a 'Bonnie and Clyde' for today, and he would be fantastic in the role. It's in the early days; we'll see."
A modern-day version of "Bonnie and Clyde" sounds gritty and violent no matter which way you look at it. We asked Godfrey if he sees this potential big-screen crime thriller as a PG-13- or R-rated film for Pattinson.
"Possibly R," he said. "[Rob's] an adult now."

All right, this is exciting: 'Cosmopolis' just premiered at Cannes, and now we've got the director and cast of David Cronenberg's latest in the studio. David himself, Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, and Toronto's rising star Sarah Gadon will all be in the red chair.
The show is airing next Thursday, June 7th, so make sure to tune in and check it out.
'Cosmopolis' goes on wide release across Canada Friday, June 8th.
