Kevin Durand Talks Rob and 'Cosmopolis'

Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog

MTV News caught up with "Cosmopolis" co-star Kevin Durand at the premiere of "Real Steel" over the weekend, and he had nothing but rave reviews for both the film and its leading man.

"It's awesome. We're just in postproduction right now. It's incredibly exciting," Durand said. "Robert is a very gracious, kind fella, and we had a great time [filming]. We had a really great time."

When asked what new sides of Pattinson's acting abilities we'll see in the film, Durand said we'll see an edgier, more adult version of the "Twilight" star. "He's got an edge to him in this film," Durand said. "He did some really excellent work that I think he should be very proud of."

The "Real Steel" and "I Am Number Four" actor went on to say that given the subject matter and action in the plot, the film will have a more adult rating and that fans should be very excited to see it.

"[It takes place] in present day, but it's its own time and place," he explained. "Mr. Cronenberg has such an amazing voice. I myself am just as excited, probably more excited, than anyone else to see it, just to see what he's done with it."

David Cronenberg On Casting Rob: "He's a Terrific Actor"

“Cronenberg didn’t cast Rob because of his tremendous Twilight Saga fame. In fact, he explained why it made shooting a little more difficult:

“Actually the fame was a detriment,” Cronenberg told us. “I mean, it’s good for financing – but it’s not necessarily good when you’re on the street and there are a lot of Twihards around. But I think people will be really surprised, I mean, I think he’s a terrific actor and that’s why I went after him.”

Director David Cronenberg Mentions Rob in Vogue Italy Interview

'Cosmopolis' Director David Cronenberg has glowing words for Rob during a recent interview with Vogue Italy...

Cronenberg has just finished shooting “Cosmopolis”, based on a novel by Don DeLillo and produced by Paulo Branco. It’s the first time I have a film competing in a festival, not yet in theaters, and another in post production. Whatever happens, I’ll start the editing this summer and next year you’ll see me again in Venice with “Cosmopolis” and Robert Pattinson, one of the most intense actors of this generation. He’ll blow your mind”
