Robert Pattinson is a very naughty boy in David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis."
The French trailer for the big screen adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel started steaming up Facebook on Wednesday and it's not hard to see what got Pattinson's legions of admirers so hot and bothered.
The film centers on a multi-billionaire's odyssey around Manhattan in search of a haircut — a journey that based on the trailer also includes eyeball gouging, a giant rat-like creature rampaging through Times Square, and a healthy dose of sadomasochistic sex.

This being Cronenberg ("A History of Violence") the finished project promises to be disturbing, but also represents a chance for Pattinson to break away from his signature "Twilight" role as a love-struck vampire.
Paul Giamatti, Juliette Binoche, Samantha Morton and Jay Baruchel co-star in the film.
The trailer lists the French release date as May 23, but a U.S. release date has yet to be set.
