David Cronenberg Inks Deal to Adapt Don DeLillo Novel

The novel is about much more than that, of course, but it still represents an unusual project for Cronenberg, who recently has entered a creative renaissance with movies very different from the ones that made him famous, namely Eastern Promises and A History of Violence. He plans to shoot Cosmopolis next year.

Cronenberg committed last year to direct Denzel Washington in the Cold War spy thriller The Matarese Circle, from a book by Bourne Identity author Robert Ludlum.
