Keira Knightley replacing Marion Cotillard in Cosmopolis
Keira Knightley is set to replace Marion Cotillard in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis. The announcement comes a week after Robert Pattinson replaced lead-actor Colin Farrell, who jumped ship for the Total Recall reboot. 

Cotillard’s rep confirmed that she has left the project due to “scheduling conflicts” - perhaps an allusion to her recently announced pregnancy. Knightley will play the wife of 28-year-old billionaire Eric Packer, now to be played by Twilight star Robert Pattinson.
