Robert Pattinson is slick and off the rails in new David Cronenberg thriller

Robert Pattinson hasn't had that much success outside the “Twilight” franchise or, at the very least, not as much as was expected of him. “Cosmopolis” could possibly turn things around for the handsome Brit.

Above is a brand new trailer for his latest film, “Cosmopolis.”

Directed by famed director David Cronenberg, it's a tale of decadence, riches, power and corruption, with Pattinson playing the lead.

This new promo is even edgier than the material previously released, though we have to admit it's relatively safe for work as compared to the same (*please note that some discretion is still recommended when viewing it).

We don't know about you, but we're sold.

“Cosmopolis” will be out in the US on August 17.
