Zack Sharf David Cronenberg confirmed in a recent interview with World of Reel that it was Robert Pattinson who first introduced him to Kristen Stewart, one of the stars of his latest body horror shocker “Crimes of the Future.” Pattinson was a Cronenberg muse for a brief period after leading the director’s movies “Cosmopolis” and “Maps to the Stars.” The Stewart-starring “Crimes of the Future” is Cronenberg’s first feature directorial effort since the “Maps” release in 2014.“It was Robert who actually introduced me to Kristen.
They have developed beautifully, separately, as actors,” Cronenberg said. “Making arthouse movies and successfully carrying that off.
Kristen and I had a great time and Rob and I had a great time. For me, yeah, I can definitely think of a movie, or idea, that would be great to have them both together.” Cronenberg added, “I don’t want to get into it because it wouldn’t be my next movie, however, it might be problematic since fans might expect a certain kind of relationship and that would get in the way of creating new characters for them.
So, I have a strange feeling that might be problematic, so it’s only theoretical for now.”Next up for Cronenberg is “The Shrouds,” starring his “Eastern Promises” actor Vincent Cassel as an innovative businessman who builds a device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud.
