This is an interesting article whereby Colin goes some way to explain why he couldn't do David Cronenberg's adaptation of the film "Cosmopolis", for which Robert Pattinson is now taking lead role. Personally, I still can't quite believe Colin has chosen to go with "Total Recall" over this film, but I guess time will tell... if not in box office terms then certainly in terms of the pay-check! As for credibility as an actor - well that's anybody's guess?

While fans are happy about Pattinson's new project, the role initially went out to Colin Farrell. MTV News caught up with Farrell recently while he promoted his upcoming drama "The Way Back," a film set during World War II about a group of prisoners who escape the Siberian Gulag and must walk over 4,000 miles to freedom.
Farrell said he didn't end up doing "Cosmopolis" due to timing and scheduling issues "for everyone involved."
"Myself and David [Cronenberg], we had good conversations between he and I," Farrell said. "I would love to work with him at some stage, I really would. I really wanted to do that [film]."
And what does he think of Pattinson replacing him?
"It's a wonderful script. I wish him all the luck in the world with it," he said.
