"Robert Pattinson has insisted that his new movie Cosmopolis is &amp;quot;really hopeful&amp;quot;. The actor explained that Cosmopolis&amp;#039;s tale of destruction in a billionaire&amp;#039;s life is not as dark as it first seems.   &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny, the first time I saw it, I didn&amp;#039;t even think about the greater scope of the movie. But when I first saw people&amp;#039;s reaction and they were talking about nihilism and stuff\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I think it&amp;#039;s actually a really hopeful movie,&amp;quot; Flicks and Bits quotes Pattinson as saying. He further explained: &amp;quot;Everyone&amp;#039;s asking me what&amp;#039;s the movie about and I have no idea. Someone told me it was about the end of the world. And I started thinking about that, and it kind of is in a way, I guess. But the hope in it\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 you present a world that doesn&amp;#039;t make any sense to anybody, which is why I think finance is the best metaphor for that.  &amp;quot;Finance doesn&amp;#039;t make any sense to me anyway! Finance seems to have absurd, disproportionate power. You say it&amp;#039;s ending the world, but the world doesn&amp;#039;t end, it&amp;#039;s just a rebirth. And I think in a lot of ways, when I look at the world, maybe I&amp;#039;m just a depressive, I think sometimes the world does need to be washed and cleansed. And that&amp;#039;s the hope of it.&amp;quot; Pattinson also recently admitted that he refused director David Cronenberg&amp;#039;s request to appear nude in Cosmopolis. Cosmopolis is released in the UK on June 15 and will open in the US later this year. Watch a trailer for Cosmopolis below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
