Robert Pattinson has reportedly signed on to star in David Cronenberg‘s upcoming adaptation of Cosmopolis.

It’s not a done deal quite yet.

A source in Pattinson’s camp tells Gossip Cop they’re in “negotiations.”

Barring a hitch in the talks, Cosmopolis will be Pattinson’s next major role.

The movie, based on a novel by Don DeLillo, follows a young financial whiz named Eric Packer as he journeys across a major city by limo during one tumultuous day.

Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are reportedly attached to the project.

Gossip Cop will update when the ink is dry.
