LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Robert Pattinson is saying goodbye to the vampire world and setting his sights on the futuristic "Cosmopolis."
According to Deadline, the actor's first project after his finishes filming "The Twilight Saga" will be the big screen adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel, which David Cronenberg is writing and directing.
The story reportedly revolves around Eric Packer, a financial wiz who's caught in the midst of assassination attempt after he risks his entire fortune in the course of a day.
Most of the film's scenes reportedly take place in a limousine that Robert's character uses in the futuristic metropolis.
Marion Cotillard and Paul Giamatti are also reportedly attached to the project.
In more Robert news, the 24-year-old actor and his "Twilight Saga" co-stars were honored with Favorite Movie and Favorite Drama for "Eclipse" at the 2011 People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night.
The final chapter in vampire series, "Breaking Dawn," will be released as two separate films with the first installment hitting theaters November 18, 2011, and the second part on November 16, 2012.
In the acceptance speech for Favorite Movie Drama, Lautner spoke briefly about their current work on Breaking Dawn, "I can't wait for you guys to see. Mark my words, the best is yet to come."
Stewart also let on that the final Breaking Dawn scenes are being film when, in her acceptance speech for Favorite Movie Actress, she mentioned, "We're shooting Breaking Dawn right now. It's going really well. We're working with the coolest people. It's always surreal to be at places like this, but I was a vampire this morning in Baton Rouge, so it's really weird..."
Stewart, Pattinson, and Lautner all looked fantastic last night, and they survived the incredibly awkward (in our opinion) encounter with Queen Latifah. Not sure how many other fans watching were cringing every time she went into the audience to talk to people - but we sure were!
Congrats to Rob, Kristen, and Taylor! You guys deserve it and we can't wait to see Breaking Dawn - we're less than a year away now! We're sure this time next year, they'll be back at the People's Choice Awards accepting work for Breaking Dawn as well!
