DAVID CRONENBERG, ROBERT PATTINSTON AND...THE BAND?!$&

This week has been quite eventful. And the news about amazing stuff just keeps breaking!  Robert Pattinson just revealed that he will reunite with the very the amazing, David Cronenberg.

The Twilight star is making headway with his adult career, working with the cult director on the forthcoming Cosmopolis, which has premiered at Cannes. Exciting news indeed! And now he has said that the pair already have plans to work together again. More please...

Speaking to French magazine Les InRockuptibles, Pattinson said: "I'm filming another movie with Cronenberg but I don't know when he wants to start filming. It's going to be his first one in the US [Cronenberg traditionally films in Canada] and he promises it’s going to be very strange."

He added that his favorite Cronenberg movies are "probably Videodrome or Scanners." So Pattinton isn't just a pretty face, he actually has good taste in films or, well, film directors. 
"I like Crash a lot too. It did well in France, right? In England, I remember how people went nuts because of it. They even banned it! Of course, that made everyone want to see it. When I watch it nowadays, it baffles me that it could have been banned. It's absurd."

Elsewhere in the interview, Pattinson revealed that he will star in a movie about..........
YES! The Band!

He said: "I'm going to do a movie about The Band, the one that played with Dylan: a beautiful script about the nature of songwriting."

Known for their track 'The Weight', The Band was founded by established musicians Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson. They frequently performed with Bob Dylan as well as Van Morrison. More details soon.
