KINOLOGY
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 (Pattinson), 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. Based on the novel by Don DeLillo. (Giamatti plays the dual role of Benno Levin/Richard Steers. / Production office opens Mid-March.)
*April 4 means production start date, not filming start date. Paulo Branco confirmed in the ScreenDaily article that shooting starts May 24

I LOVE Juliette Binoche movies! Wow, how exciting that she will be in this movie with Rob!
ReplyDeleteShe is much too old for the role.
ReplyDeletei haven't read the book...is his wife older? i assume she'd be playing the wife.
ReplyDeleteI think she may be playing the art dealer - one of the women Eric cheats on his wife with? If so, I think that's good casting. She's supposed to be about 47. Great news.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I adore Juliette Binoche's work. She was the only reason I stayed to watch The English Patient. I agree with @debbi she is playing the older art dealer, she is not playing Elise, his wife. I am really looking forward to a whole new Robert in this movie. I know this is lowbrow, but I will admit it I want to see more of Robert than we have seen before, call it pervy but man this is going to be one sexy and violent pic that I am biting my nails to see.
ReplyDeletea lot of cougar love these last few years for ROB hehe YAY!!! i say xD
ReplyDeleteCongratulation for her that she reaches that kind of position and she didn't end with viagra online.
