From Edward Cullen to Salvador Dali

Robert Pattinson sheds "Twilight" image in film

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Twilight" fans fell in love with Robert Pattinson as a vampire who makes girls swoon. But in "Little Ashes," which opens on Friday, the actor explores a relationship that could reshape his heartthrob image.

Pattinson, who turns 23 this month, plays surrealist painter Salvador Dali at a youthful stage in his life when he had a sexually charged relationship with poet Federico Garcia Lorca.

Pattinson took the role long before he became a sensation with legions of adoring, young female fans captivated by his portrayal of vampire Edward Cullen in last year's global box office smash, "Twilight."

Industry watchers say the success of the movie, based on a popular book series by author Stephenie Meyer, was largely due to girls imagining they -- not the film's heroine Bella Swan -- were being wooed by the fanged Cullen.(Gozde: They don't have FANGS dammit! :))

Pattinson, who has said he is straight, told Reuters he doesn't believe "Twilight" fans will think differently of him for his character's sexuality in "Little Ashes."

"I don't really mind either way," Pattinson said of his movie choices. "I'm not really trying to appeal to anyone in particular."(Gozde: And that is why we are ROBsessed :) Don't ever try...)

The British actor said the romance between Cullen and Swan somewhat resembles the attraction between Dali and Lorca in "Little Ashes."

"In a lot of ways, the storyline is similar to 'Twilight.' It's about two people who, for various different hangups and terrible insecurities, can't in any way consummate their relationship," Pattinson said.

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER?

Made with backing from companies in Britain and Spain, "Little Ashes" shows Dali forming a bond with Lorca (Javier Beltran), and evolving from a quiet student to the famously eccentric artist with his long, pencil-thin mustache.

Dali and Lorca kiss and swim in the moonlight, but the painter eventually spurns Lorca's advances.

In 1969, the painter told an interviewer that he had rebuffed Lorca's attempt at a sexual affair.

"I was extremely annoyed, because I wasn't homosexual, and I wasn't interested in giving in," Dali said at the time.

Yet the film portrays him as a willing, if emotionally conflicted, participant. Dali died in 1989 after a decades-long marriage to Gala, who served as his muse.

Cooper Lawrence, author of "The Cult of Celebrity," said Pattinson is an icon to young women because he seems like the perfect boyfriend.

"He's edgy but not too edgy, he's someone you can still bring home to mom, but he's a little down and dirty so you think he's cool. And he's so nonthreatening, and that's a big part of it," she said.

Many of his fans may not get a chance to see "Little Ashes" because initially it will screen in a limited number of theaters, mostly in big cities.

Amanda Seyfried to Star with Rob? We think NO

The above picture has nothing to do with this post but it's HQ and you can see his mipples so I thought I'd slip it in :))

Onto business:

LAiMEy Gossip claims:

Amanda Seyfried will reportedly begin work soon on Remember Me costarring Robert Pattinson with whom she presented at the Oscars a couple months ago. Cute. They looked great together, even though he seemed like he wanted to die.

Gozde: *Takes a deep breath* Well, I am calling this rumor: WRONG. But since LAiMEy always gets her rumors from....(God knows where... little birds? Her tush? ) it is not surprising that she'd be wrong.

This rumor started when screendaily.com reported this:

Summit Entertainment is presenting four new titles to buyers at Cannes this year including two new Summit productions - a romantic drama starring Twilightsensation Robert Pattinson and a generational love story set in Italy starring Amanda Seyfried.

You can read the rest of the story HERE where it talks about the 2 DIFFERENT movies that Rob and Amanda will star in.

Paul Morrison: Rob felt so much more a Dali – the combination of acute intelligence, vulnerability and self-consciousness

That was a LONG title eh? :))



Amanda Bell - The Twilight Examiner had the chance to interview Little Ashes director Paul Morrison. Here are some parts but you should read the whole article. It's very good :)

“We made it in the spirit of . . . just need[ing] to make this film, it’s crying out to be done, without expectations of what will happen to it,” says Paul Morrison, director of Little Ashes about his film. “But I’ve been around long enough to know it’s when you least expect it that good things can happen.”

Little Ashes (which will be released this Friday, May 8, in the United States)(Gozde's note: It is released in UK and Spain as well. For the list of theaters check HERE and HERE:)) has been met with great anticipation. Starring Robert Pattinson, Javier Beltran, Matthew McNulty, and Marina Gatell, the film will present an ephemeral biopic of the life of Salvador Dali – a Spanish artist whose art, some say, is impossibly well done.

As a director, Paul Morrison is known for his work in Wondrous Oblivion, Solomon and Gaenor, and Degas and Pissarro Fall Out. With Little Ashes nearing release, however, his name has practically become house hold.

I had the pleasure of interviewing the thoughtful and intellectual Mr. Morrison, and, after doing so, I am convinced that he is right, “good things can happen” – and to the right sort of people.

About what brought Morrison to the Little Ashes picture, he says it was “[a] great screenplay.” Continues Morrison, it’s “an intimate human story of these three or four people’s relationships at an extraordinary moment in history of social and artistic ferment. Plus, it was about these three exceptional artists, at least one of whom was a hero of mine.”

skipped

For Lorca and Dali, I must have seen every up-and-coming young actor who was available in both Spain and the U.K. Originally, Rob read for Lorca, and I was going to cast Dali in Spain. But Rob felt so much more a Dali – the combination of acute intelligence and vulnerability and self-consciousness that the part demanded – that I switched, and brought him back to read for Dali. He was perfect. I never saw anyone in Spain who felt right for Dali, by the way.

skipped

Still, there were good days and bad days on set. A “perfect day,” says Morrison, “was shooting the scene where Bunuel comes upon Dali and Lorca in a clinch in Lorca’s room. Nice and contained, funny, and brilliant performances, and time enough to get all the shots I wanted, and think of some others.” Continues he, it was “also very magical to shoot in Cadaques in the little bay which was Dali’s favourite, and to know that he had stood on the same rocks with Lorca eighty years before. . .” An “awful day,” says Morrison, “was shooting the aunt’s dinner party where we had a lot of Spanish press and TV around, trying to present a front of professional calm to the, but the actors were 5 hours getting through make-up, and I was screaming with impatience as we were left with only two hours to shoot the big scene.”



skipped

With Twilight and How To Be star Robert Pattinson in the cast, and with his recent successes outside of Little Ashes, his fame is bringing a lot to the table for the release of this picture. About that, Morrison says, “I don’t follow it very closely, but mostly it has been great for us.” On the other hand, “where Rob has been misconstrued,” says Morrison, “and seemed to be putting down our movie when that wasn’t what he intended,” it can be irritating. Though, says Morrison, “I’m delighted for Rob for his success, and delighted, too, that he will draw a new audience to the movie. The fans of his who have seen it so far, who I’ve spoken to, seem very positive.”

“Timely Look”: Interview with Oliver Irving, director of How to Be

Less than 2 weeks until we unfortunate souls that couldn't see the movie in theaters get to see How To Be on DVD.Can't wait! :))

Very refreshing interview (not all questions are about his RobArtness) from popmatters.com with How To Be director Oliver Orving:

When Oliver Irving began writing How To Be in 2004, he couldn’t know that when the film finally premiered at Slamdance four years later, his timing would be so fortuitous. Irving’s first feature film follows Art, a 20something aspiring musician in the midst of a “quarter-life crisis.” Now, following the release of Twilight, the casting of Robert Pattinson as Art looks brilliant. Irving made the rounds on the festival circuit with sold-out screenings and a cache of audience awards (including an Honorable Mention at Slamdance, Best Feature at New Orleans, and Best Actor for Pattinson at the Strasbourg International Film Festival).

The film is also timely in its subject matter. In a season of too many arrested development male-bonding comedies, How to Be offers a version suffused with a wry charm. Picked up by IFC Films in February, the movie screened at the IFC Center in New York in April and premiered on IFC Festival Direct on 29 April.

The festival schedule for How to Be grew leading up to the IFC release, with more and more sold out shows.
I’ve been really touched by the strong positive response to this film. It has been amazing, the support we have had. That is why we took the bold step of booking our own cinemas, so we could tour around, screening the film and try to see as many people as possible.

You’ve watched the film with multiple festival audiences. Has the reception changed from last winter to this?
When it first screened, it did have a really good response. What has changed is the numbers of people in the audience. Some people have seen it several times as well, so members of the audience are really starting to be familiar with the characters and even coining catchphrases in some instances, which is great. I love hearing the laughter during the film, I really do; it makes it all worth it.

How to Be sold out its first screening at the DC Independent Film Festival in March. Before the session began, the director of one of the accompanying short films made the joke that he was shocked so many people wanted to see his film. What do you think about droves of Robert Pattinson fangirls turning up at an independent film festival?
Every so often, someone will love the movie and not have even really heard of Rob and that is reaffirming. But then, often people will say, “I came because of Rob, but I loved this film in its own right.” I can tell from what they say that their response is really genuine, so I am just glad that Rob’s star factor has brought in potential audiences. We have found that actually one of the groups of people who responded favorably to the film turned out to be the same as those who might be fans of Rob—so it was the right audience to start with. I’m glad the film won the Grand Jury Honorable mention at Slamdance long before Rob’s stardom flared up. That eases my neuroticism somewhat.

The DCIFF program describes the movie as “a timely look at the increasingly growing phenomena of grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity, and self-help.” Is that their take on it or yours?
It comes from our synopsis. But it is interesting to hear different people’s opinions as to what the film is really about. I love that everyone seems to take away a different particular element.

What a Load of Crap - Number 2

Well, what they report here is probably true but still the magazine is a crappy tabloid and there is NO way in hell the movie is going to be better than the book.(Sorry Rob, it's not you it's me :) The heart break on the blank pages with only the months in New Moon just can not be translated in a movie)

After deeming the 20-minute Sage & the Dills concert at Vancouver hot spot Metropole too short for his taste, an enchanted Robert Pattinson invited the band and his fellow New Moon co-stars, including Kristen Stewart, back to his hotel for an impromptu jam session on April 18.

As Robert, who plays dreamy vampire Edward Cullen, strummed his guitar, on-screen sibling Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) played harmonica while their big-screen sister Nikki Reed (Rosalie) added lyrics she had practiced onstage earlier that evening while serenading cast mate Taylor Lautner.

“We just got really creative,” lead singer Sage tells OK! of the intimate hotel-room session, which sounded like a mix of old-school rock and country as well as Van Morrison, Robert’s favorite rocker. “Everything blended together really well.” (Gozde: Sage sure likes to talk to the gossip rags doesn't she?Previously by Sage HERE)

Whether they’re making music or shooting Twilight sequels, the tight-knit cast of the vampire series works — and plays — as a true team. “It is weird that the minute we all met, it felt like family,” Kellan Lutz, who stars as Edward’s bloodsucker brother Emmett, tells OK!. “The first day we got on set, a lot of us felt like we’d always been related.”

But that hasn’t stopped Kellan, 24, from clobbering Robert when the cameras are rolling. While working on a scene in which their bodies collide, the actors learned that they have differing methods for stunt work — high school football star Kellan actually knocked the wind out of Robert.

“He didn’t think I’d actually nail him, but that’s what the script said I was supposed to do,” explains Kellan. “I didn’t go out of my way to hurt him, but there is Rob, trotting along, and bang!”

But on-set mishaps haven't changed anyone's feelings about the New Moon shoot, says Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen.

“The first one, we all had no idea what we were getting ourselves into,” she tells OK!. “We all have our bearings now, and it is more fun and less stressful."

Candid of Rob and Kristen at Sam's concert 05/02/2009

Here is another candid of Rob from Sam's Gewa Project Concert:



From people.com:

• They may have been watching covertly from a side door – but Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were definitely excited at the Sam Bradley Band show at Richard's On Richards in Vancouver. (Gozde: Umm, wrong! Taycob wasn't there.) The Twilight stars smiled throughout the 90-minute gig, and Stewart even popped out from her perch to snap some pictures. When the show was over, the stars snuck out a back door and headed to the Opus Hotel where they partied in a suite upstairs with some friends – and even got a late-night pizza delivery.

Los 40 Principales (Spain) Mag Scans and Interview Translation

This below from Twilight Poison the source of the scans and translation.

Los 40 Principales Spain interviewed Rob and Kristen back in December for the release of the movie in their country. We finally got a copy of the magazine. Eventhough the interview is old-ish it’s still really good. It features some new stuff about each actor that we didn’t know like how Rob used to make 60 euros for gig in London. It also feautres a quiz on how compatible Rob and Kristen are, as well as on how well they know each other. It’s really cute :).

Here’s the translation:

“The Beauty and the Vampire”
To give life to a vampire, one must live at night. Robert Pattinson (22 years old, London) does it: “I never leave my house during the day; I only socialize at night”. In Twilight he plays Edward, a vampire for which all the girls in the world have fallen in love with. Robert, Harry Potter’s Cedric Diggory is shy, pale and skinny.

You have two songs in the movie’s soundtrack. Are you a musician?

I used to have a band. I wrote one of the songs, and the other one was written by a friend. Catherine heard the songs and she decided to put them in the movie, Only one of them is in the sountrack “Never Think”.

Do you have any plans to release an album?

Look at the Disney kids…No, I hate that. I won’t consider it until I quit acting. I’ve only played in pubs. I had never recorded anything or made money with music. Maybe just 60 euros for playing here and there. I don’t want to become a franchise like the Disney kids.

You lived in Spain while filming your movie Little Ashes.

It was interesting. We filmed on the countryside and nobody spoke English, so I spent months without talking and reading about Dali.

Are you a loner?

When I work, if I don’t have enough information, I have to create the character by myself. I don’t have much of a life outside of acting, I don’t have a group to hang out with. I have two friends that I grew up with and that’s it. I could wake up one day and disappear without leaving anything behind.

How are you dealing with the fans and being chased by them?

It’s like having two jobs; acting and mantaining your fans interested so you can keep working.
What to you like to do in your free time?I don’ go out much. I like to spend the day by myself doing my things and then socialize at night. I get bored talking to people. I ask someone out for dinner and 15 minutes later I’m tired of them.

And for the quiz...a lil of how much do Rob and Kristen really know each other...so very cute.

Favorite Movie

Rob: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

What movie did Kristen say? Hers is The Jungle Book. She just said it”.

Kristen: “Rob loves Breathless. He gave me the movie. Me… I don’t know. I love American Beauty.”

Favorite Song

Rob: “I used to be really into Morrison, now I like hip-hop. Her? Yeah, I guess I only play my music when I’m with people, that’s terrible, isn’t it?

Kristen: “I like Cul de Sac by Van Morrison. Rob’s a huge fan of him. If he says he’s not, he’s just saying it to contradict me”.

A recipe

Rob: “I’m really good with the microwave. She makes noodles and meatballs” (he did say noodles, not spaguetti).

Kristen: “I make canned meatballs and noodles. The best thing he knows how to do is opening a bottle of beer”.

What would you do if you couldn’t sleep?

Rob: “I’d read. I only sleep like three hours a day. I don’t like it. I never dream anything, it’s so boring”.

Kristen: “I’d write. I’d go crazy. Rob is going to say something just to tease you. He’s going to say something very dark and dramatic”.

If you could bite anyone, you’d bite…

Rob: “She’d probably say she’d bite me (laughs). I would bite anybody”.

Kristen: “Nikki Reed. Just kidding. He would bite me. They say we’re dating but we’re not. I have a boyfriend.”(Note from Vale: I really don’t know if she meant she would bite Nikki or if Rob would bite Nikki. It’s not clear).

Thanks so much to Vale and Twilight Poison for the scans and Interview translation.

Who would you rather date? Edward or Jacob...?

Cheestastic analysis of the Twilight guys but still kinda fun nonetheless.

Thanks to Spunk-Ransom for the vid linkage.

Megan Fox Disses Robert Pattinson (and we all die from laughing)

Gozde: Excuse me while I laugh my ass off. (I thought LMAO was not enough, I had to spell it out :)) Megan Fox talking about holding a conversation....Hahahaha :))) Sweetie, Megan, you are so pretty. Just hush....and stand around....

From OMG!:

Megan Fox might be remaining mum on the state of her relationship to Brian, but she's quick to shoot down rumors that she rebounded with "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson.

"I just randomly asked someone for a light and it was him. That was the extent of our 'relationship,'" she said of the brooding vampire star. "But I'm sure there's going to be a different guy every week now."

And Megan would like the world to know that Pattison is not her type anyway - the same goes for Zac Efron.

"He and Zac-- they're just too pretty with the big hair and the suits. And Rob is, what, 22? Zac is 21? That's a joke," Megan said. "Boys in their twenties are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they're immature. I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his thirties."

Interview with Matthew McNulty

Digitalspy.co.uk has an interview with Matthew McNulty who plays Luis Buñuel in Little Ashes. I am posting the parts that are related to Dali and Rob, you can read the whole interview HERE at the source.

Matthew McNulty is no stranger to taking on the lives of real people. He starred as Debbie Curtis's boyfriend Nick Jackson in Anton Corbijn's Joy Division movie Control in 2007 before playing iconic director Luis Buñuel in the new Salvador Dalí biopic Little Ashes. DS caught up with Matthew to talk about surrealism, teen heartthrob co-star Robert Pattinson, and his hatred of all things Manchester United.(Gozde: Only a couple of hours till Man. United vs Arsenal and after a thorough research (HERE) I am all for ARSENAL :) Sorry Matt)

Do you think Dalí and surrealism in general needs rescuing from its "zany" student poster reputation?
"I think so, and this film will definitely do that. A lot of people who will see this film because of Rob Pattinson will be able to form their own opinions of surrealism. It'll be a fresh opinion and not one that's been developed through the elements that have been ridiculed in the surrealist movement. The course of surrealism did possibly last a bit too long and the central ideals were kind of watered down, so hopefully from this film people will research into it and know more about those ideals."

Do you think there's a risk that the merit of the film will be overshadowed by Pattinson's nude and love scenes?
"Possibly to people that haven't seen the film, but I'm not really bothered about that. If people want to judge it before they've actually seen it and judge it on the fact that there's a teen heartthrob playing the lead then that's more fool them. I think that the film has got merit of its own through its writing and the cinematography. Hopefully word of mouth will dispel any of that."

There's a pretty visceral scene in the film where your character assaults a gay man in a park. What was your reading into Buñuel's motivation for those actions?
"I think he lost control. He's quite an aggressive person anyway and he lost his friendship, the closeness he had - with [poet Federico] Lorca initially and then Lorca and Dalí. The only way he could react to that was through physical force. Just to lash out and react to a gay relationship in that way, rather than fight them and hurt them. To hurt someone that was completely unattached to it."

Do you think the relationship between those three characters is the key love triangle at the centre of the film?
"Possibly. I don't think Buñuel was homosexual. I think what he struggled with was the fact that he couldn't try it. Despite being somebody so liberal and so adventurous in his attitudes and politics, one part of his persona that he could never explore was sexuality. He wanted to be a world revolutionary and if he couldn't get past this homophobic problem then he wouldn't be that revolutionary."

Do you think that the relationship between Dalí and Lorca in the film is portrayed accurately?
"From what I've read, there's enough there just in what Buñuel said for there to be a relationship. There were also interviews with Dalí on his deathbed and some years before that where he would talk about Lorca and their relationship. There are letters and various accounts from people who knew them. Obviously the film has to have a certain level of artistic licence, but generally that love story and that relationship did happen."

Little Ashes receives a limited UK release from May 8.

New Little Ashes Clip

Not Safe for work and Rated R :))
Okay some more warning : The scene is Dali and Lorca getting all hot and heavy. It is very tasteful, romantic and beautiful but that's MY opinion.
