TORONTO: Photocall and Press Conference kicked off ‘Cosmopolis’ in Canada

On June 4th, Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Gadon, Emily Hampshire, Kevin Durand with producer Martin Katz and director David Cronenberg brought ‘Cosmopolis’ home to Toronto for the Canadian premiere. The day started with a photocall and hour long press conference. Check out photos and videos from the beginning of Cosmopolis day in Canada. Watch for a post later today from Chauffeur Tink with all the red carpet and premiere goodies!

The press conference is a treasure trove. Chauffeur Tink and I watched it all today and loved hearing all the behind the scenes information. Treat yourself and make the time to watch these great HD videos.

Video one: General introduction and preliminary questions from the press conference moderator. Emily Hampshire and Kevin Durand also share their audition stories.

Video three: Questions for Sarah and Kevin. Rob is asked about his initial fear of playing Eric, preparing to film and the first days shooting with Jay Baruchel. He mentions the only thing about Eric Packer that he feels relates to his own real life. (Can you guess what it is?)

Robert Pattinson likes wide angles lenses. And cranes. #cosmopolisshoot

Video six: Benno’s towel meaning? Interesting talk about some actors being told to read the book and others not. Bonus: London whale confusion ends the press conference on a very funny note.

“The towel is in the book, the book is the bible, you follow the bible.”- Cronenberg on Giamatti’s towel.
