Cronenberg and Cosmopolis

David Cronenberg will write and direct Cosmopolis, an adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel about a 28-year-old millionaire’s day-long travels through Manhattan in pursuit of a haircut.

The novel is about much more than that, of course, but it still represents an unusual project for Cronenberg, who recently has entered a creative renaissance with movies very different from the ones that made him famous, namely Eastern Promises and A History of Violence. He plans to shoot Cosmopolis next year.
