HollywoodLife.com spoke exclusively to the ‘Cosmopolis’ director, who raved about working with Rob Pattinson

After Breaking Dawn‘s mega numbers in the box office, Robert Pattinson has some big shoes to fill with his next film, Cosmopolis. However, his director, David Cronenberg, told HollywoodLife.com exclusively what makes the 25-year-old actor such an amazing leading man.

“He’s very talented, everyone knows he’s got the street charisma, the tone,” Cronenberg said at the IFP Gotham Independent Films Awards sponsored by euphoria Calvin Klein. “When he’s on screen its very hard to take your eyes off of him. He’s a really wonderful actor.”

When we asked him about describing Rob as “brilliant” in previous interviews, the legendary laughed and responded with, “You’ll have to see the movie and you’ll see.”

The more Cronenberg brags about Rob, the more anxious we get to see the film when it hits theaters in 2012! Do YOU think Rob will prove himself to be an amazing actor in Cosmopolis?
