Sneak Peak at Robert Pattinson's Next Flick: 'Little Ashes'

on Oct. 12, 2008 01:59 PM / 27 Comments

Robert Pattinson, the incredibly celebrated star of the upcoming film Twilight, has more up his sleeve than is known by the general public.

Once the Twilight craze dies down (if that's a possibility), Robert won't be leaving his fans hanging.  In 2009, Robert's flawless face will grace the silver screen as legendary artist Salvador Dali in Little Ashes.

Little Ashes is the untold story of Dali's relationship with revered poet Frederico Garcia Lorca, played by Javier Beltran.  The film documents the transition of the two young artists from close friends to intimate lovers; a claim that Dali vehemently denied up until his death.

Devoted Pattinson fans will be seeing the messy-haired heartthrob in an entirely new light, with rumored guy-on-guy sex highlights, and even a possible Pattinson masturbatory scene.

This could be Robert's chance to prove himself as the Johnny Depp-like actor fans claim him to be.  

As of yet, the film is only scheduled for distribution in the UK. Hopefully U.S. RPattz lovers will be gifted with a release date too!

Are you as excited for 'Little Ashes' as you are for 'Twilight'?

    Can't wait to see this film. I've heard great things about Rob's performance, from those who have seen it already.

    I agree, hopefully the US will get a release as well.

    Thank you for highlighting the film and supporting Rob in the right way. Fans who saw the film at Raindance said Rob is amazing. Here's a few comments from people:

    'The passion between Robert Pattinson playing Dali and Javier Beltran as Lorca is wonderful, when they are happy you can't help but smile with them and when they are tense you will be gripping the armrests of your chair. '

    'The final scene of Dali with the black paint (no I wont go into any more detail than that it would ruin it!) is cinematic genius, so powerful and moving.'

    Whilst the quality of acting is remarkable throughout this is a scene where the genius of the filming takes centre stage. It begins with a dark cloudy night with Dali and Lorca jumping out of a rowing boat into the ocean. It's so dark they can barely see each other, but then the moon comes out and the whole scene is transformed, both characters look ethereal in the moonlight. The filming follows them as the twist around in the water, it films them from below and above until you can barely tell who's who, in the same way they feel themselves becoming one they become one in the eyes of the audience too.
    Under the moonlight they share their first kiss, all pretence dropped they are entirely themselves. It is one of the most romantic scenes I have seen. When it cuts back to the scene later in the film there is a powerful feeling of longing for the simple beauty which they shared that night, one which they both know they can never return to.'

    The screen was sold out at Raindance thats how popular Rob is and how much fans want to se his other work and they had to put another showing on.

    Here a a few more snippits from the awesome Lady Bracknewll blog page on Little Ashes

    He (Rob) is really, really funny. There’s one scene, where he skives off an art lesson, qu ietly chases Lorca and his gi rlfriend down the street and nips r und them so when they see him he ca n act casual. He plays it beyond pe rfectly, with truly awesome comic t ming.

    probably should mention (b ecause I'm sure everyone will in re views and stuff) that they do in clude the scene where Lorca and Ma rgarita have sex in front of him an d he does... make his own fun. I ex pected that scene to be really of f-putting and awkward to watch, bu t the way they’ve done it – it’s t he cornerstone of the whole film, i a way, explains a lot of what hap pens later. It wasn’t at all what I expected, ended up being one of th saddest moments in the whole thin g, because Rob is awesome and kind f broke my heart in that scene.

    My favourite bit? Either Rob hiding be ind a plant, necking several gl asses of wine, and when asked what he’s doing saying ‘trying to g et really drunk’, or a scene on th e beach, where he’s lying with his head in Lorca’s lap. The c amera starts at his feet, crawls it way up his body, lingers on his face, while Javier reads poetry to him and plays with his hair. Or the one where they drunkenly shout revolutionary slogan s and then have to run from the gua d, end up ensconced in a doorw ay and have the most adorable excha ge about girls. Or a scene right at the end that I can't say anything a bout because it's the most massiv e of massive spoilers.http://lady bracknell.livejourna l.com/103621.html?page=1#comments

    I just saw on IMDB that you'd added this page and I'm so happy you did as this film needs to be seen by millions. I'll include a few comments from fans which you can read in detail on the marvelous movie fanatic site on Little Ashes:

    I was really happy - as a Rob fan - with everything in the film. He gets some wonderful light moments (for me, that was when he really shone, because he has this inherent comic timing that you just can't learn and it's onscreen magic), and then some really intense scenes, where he really delivers emotionally too. I've seen reviews of HTB saying that it's amazing how he flips between the two with such speed and skill, and I agree.

    Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dalí. Never has a b iographical portrayal been so c losely tied with its subject. By n o means has a performance ever b een so telling. Rob was able to p erfectly encapsulate the e ccentricities that was Dalí. --
    Robert Pattinson plays Da li as such a captivating mix of gu ileless charm, self-awareness and a kwardness in the early part of the f lm that it’s easy to see why Lorc a would fall for him.

    If you get the chance to see Little Ashes, plea se take it. It’s a compelling and e gaging story about truly fascin ating people, the cast don’t put a foot wrong, and even the soun dtrack is utterly spell-bi nding, with moments of Arvo Part-es ue stillness, snippets of Lorca’s poetry woven through to give a gen uinely ethereal quality and tie th e whole thing together. It’s the r arest of rare things – a film tha t is intelligent, warm, and ling ers in your mind, long after the credits have rolled.

    You bet he's the next Depp. None of the other young today have Rob's versatility. Charm and warmth are important traits for an actor and Rob and Depp have those qualities.

    Thank you very much for highlighting Rob's next film. I dont usually like gossip sits like this but at least you are highlighting his work too so hats off to you. Could you do the same with his other new film for which he received Best Actor at the Strasbourg Film Festival. Its called How To Be. You can see images and the trailer via the link.

    Thats been selling out festivals to but doesnt have a distribution deal. Fans are dying to see it.

  • redordead 1 yr 1 mo ago

    Rob phoned into a screening of How To Be and someone recorded it - its in 3 parts
