Paul Giamatti has confirmed that he will be staring alongside Robert Pattinson in Cosmopolis.

Hollywoodlife.com reports that Paul Giamatti and Marion Cotillard were the two major actors set to appear with Twilight actor Robert when he stepped into the starring role, formerly held by Colin Farrell.

Despite Marion dropping out due to her pregnancy, Paul is still on-board.

“I get to stalk him” Paul told MTV’s Josh Horowitz.

43-year-old Paul is referring to his character, who is one of two men stalking Rob’s character Eric Packer after Eric loses a lot of his clients’ money by betting against the yen.

Paul didn’t seem to know when production on Cosmopolis would begin, because according to HL many of the delays have put the May start date in question.

Keira Knightley is apparently set to star as Rob’s wife in the film, although these reports have not been confirmed.
