Lots of stuff from the press conference in this article from 570news
TORONTO - With its heady storyline, poetic literary dialogue and no room for improvisation or rehearsal, the new film "Cosmopolis" had several of its stars fretting before cameras got rolling.
Chief among them was Robert Pattinson, who admits to being in the "very obvious throes of a panic attack" before production began in Toronto in May 2011.
At a Toronto press conference on Monday, the "Twilight" heart-throb said he and co-star Jay Baruchel were "absolutely terrified" when shooting the first scene of the film that's based on the 2003 Don DeLillo novel of the same name.
Director David Cronenberg's calm demeanour put him at ease, as did a pre-shoot chat at the filmmaker's house in which he told him to "stop worrying."
"I think you were just placating me by saying to come around," Pattinson told Cronenberg with a laugh at the media event attended by the director and several of the film's stars.
"But I think you just said, when we started shooting, 'What will be will be.'"
Pattinson is earning raves for his performance in the film, (Kate: *Big Smiles*) which recently debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and opens across Canada on Friday.
