TORONTO — Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson is returning to Toronto this summer.
The British actor will be joined by Julianne Moore and John Cusack in the city to shoot scenes for Maps to the Stars, the latest from Toronto director David Cronenberg.
Cameras are scheduled to roll in July before the production moves to Los Angeles.
The thriller is described by Variety as “a ghost story and an attack on the celebrity-obsessed society.”
Pattinson was in Toronto during the summer of 2011 to film Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, which earned only $6 million at the box office last year. The Twilight movies, which made Pattinson famous, have grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide.
The actor, who turns 27 this month, is currently shooting Mission: Blacklist.
Pattinson’s Cosmopolis co-star, Canadian actress Sarah Gadon, is also in the Maps to the Stars cast.
Moore has made a number of movies in Toronto, including Carrie, Chloe, Blindness and The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio.
