Robert Pattinson walks and talks with a gal pal as they leave their Beverly Hills hotel on Sunday afternoon. The 22-year-old British actor is in town to test screen for his upcoming flick, Remember Me.
Dani's Note: Looking back at pictures from Katy Perry's birthday dinner which Rob attended. The girl in the pics looks to be actress Shannon Woodward you can see a pic of Shannon HERE. Mystery solved perhaps?
One of our fabulous followers e-mailed the writer of Rob's short film "The Summer House" Ian Beck and here is what he sent her back, with information about a DVD/Book Set as well as great news the film will be featured at Cannes Film Festival!
Please see his response below.
Dear Brittany
Thank you for your kind message and for all of your interest in my story The Summer House. The book is published by Dennis Hall Previous Parrot Press
Dennis Hall Parrot Press The Foundry Church Hall WHITNEY Oxfordshire OX29 8AB Tel: 01993 881260. Fax: 01993 883080.
The Summer House was printed as a very limited edition, and was written and illustrated by me and in some special numbered cases the illustrations were hand coloured, and these books were very expensive to buy, £128 when first issued. It is quite likely that there are now none left to buy at all, except in the second hand book trade ( see Abebooks etc) however plans are in place to issue the film and hopefully a simpler version of the book together in a DVD package.
This would not be until well after the film has been shown on thefilm festival circuit. It will be shown in Cannes next week, on the 14th May, in the Short Film Corner section I believe. So the DVD package, all being well is likely to be issued some time next year. I will keep you informed if I get a final date. In the meantime my new novel, Pastworld, will be published by Bloomsbury in the states in late October http://www.past-world.com/ which might be worth your while.
All Best Wishes
Ian Beck
Big hugs and thanks to Brittany for e-mailing me Ian's response and info.
The Little Ashes Official Site lists the OPENING DATE of a week-long theatrical run. These are not one night screenings as many posts are indicating.
Unless noted otherwise, or listed under “Events,” these are week-long theatrical runs.
Of course, it should be noted that theaters base their decision to hold a movie longer than the first week entirely on their business for Friday and Saturday, so it’s always important to support an independent film on its opening weekend. There are too many films competing for screen space and those who say “we’ll catch it next weekend” are often disappointed.
Thank you for your incredible support and belief in this movie.
New Moon heartthrob Robert Pattinson hit up the same Venice, CA studio as Emmy Rossum this afternoon. Pairing up for a new project? Rob sported a plaid shirt, jeans and Ray-Ban sunglasses as he made his way to his ride.
Critics remain way underwhelmed by Robert Pattinson's channeling of artist Salvador Dalí in Little Ashes. Call it a lack of—tee hee—sparkle. A few were impressed—the London Daily Express calls Pattinson's take "a spirited performance." But most agree with MTV's Kurt Loder, who says, "As soon as Pattinson steps forth with Dalí's famous up-twirled mustaches pasted to his face, the picture collapses." Well, meow to you, too.
That isn't necessarily bad news for Pattinson fans, however, especially if you're open to a long-term love affair...
Despite the mixed reviews, veteran casting directors are calling Pattinson's choice in films brilliant, especially if he wants a long career.
"Tween girls buy movie tickets but don't win you Oscars," says casting exec Lisa Hamil, who worked on The Notebook and Alpha Dog as well as the new film One-Eyed Monster. "Hollywood is very quick to typecast, and once that happens, an actor's career can flatline." Here's where tweenie fans may feel a bit of panic.
"All of us would still attempt to cast him in tween roles, but I'd be shocked (and a little disappointed) if he took another one," Hamil reveals. "It's the same reason Daniel Radcliffe did Equus. These guys are in it for the long haul and have learned this elemental truth: You grow up with your audience."
In other words, once the Twilight franchise wraps, kids, don't look for Pattinson in another teen-candy role. Even vampires need to grow up sometime.
Writing from the set of New Moon, a ridiculously happy place to be. Everyone is having a gas. Especially me. You'd expect at least one person to be snarky after working so hard for so long but I haven't heard a single sour note. Chris Weitz is the zen ringmaster doing a fantastic job.
The Volturi look amaaaazing. Michael Sheen embodies Aro so completely, elevating the role to a whole new level. Dakota as Jane knocks me out. Rob and Kristen are gorgeous of course and and and... I probably shouldn't gush so much, no one will believe that everything is perfect but it is!
Actually, it’s hard to imagine who could play this outlandish character — a man who appeared to believe that life itself was too small to contain him. In Pattinson’s attempted impersonation, we see the pampered young Dalí arriving at the Residencia in a hugely ridiculous frilly shirt and jaw-length bowl-cut hair. Tottering out of his grand car into a bustle of fellow students, he looks like a marionette with a few strings missing, or a rag doll in need of repair. He seems trapped and terrified. But since social reticence is not a quality we associate with the overbearingly outré Dalí, we soon begin to wonder if it isn’t the actor himself who feels desperately out of place in this strange film.
The picture’s focus is on the relationship between García Lorca, a closeted and tormented homosexual, and the flamboyantly odd painter, whose sexual inclinations are anybody’s guess. (He claimed to be exclusively heterosexual.) Dalí knew the poet was in love with him, but always insisted that on the two occasions when García Lorca came on to him sexually, he turned him down. The movie would have it otherwise. (After a while, we wish that we could, too.)
There are some truly shameless scenes here. We see García Lorca shooting lovelorn glances at Dalí, then scurrying off in a fit of guilt to confide to a plaster Madonna that “I have had impure thoughts.” We see the boys recumbent on a beach, Dalí with his head propped on his friend’s thigh as García Lorca reads his poetry aloud. There’s an artsy nude moonlight swim that with only the tiniest of adjustments could be converted into a cologne commercial. And there’s a spectacularly lurid interlude in which García Lorca, desperate to demonstrate an acceptable manliness, has sex with a woman on a bed while Dalí watches (possibly masturbating, not sure) from a dark corner of the room.
By now, most of you are probably familiar with “Little Ashes,” the small independent film that Robert Pattinson shot months before he embarked on his star-making “Twilight” experience. In the movie, Pattinson plays famed painter Salvador Dalí who, according to “Little Ashes,” engaged in a homosexual relationship with poet Federico García Lorca (disputed by Dalí in real life).
To his credit, Pattinson went full out on the role, even adopting the artist’s iconic mustache, which has now become as talked about as the film itself. And that brings us to Out Magazine’s screening of “Little Ashes” here in New York City this week. As you’ll see…they did a little something special to pay tribute to Pattinson.

Celeb Heat Index: Pattinson reaches the peak of hotness
By Lorena Blas, USA TODAY Robert Pattinson is hotter than Brad Pitt this week. After a steady rise, the 22-year-old Twilight star has hit No. 1 on USA TODAY's Celebrity Heat Index, which measures media exposure. Pattinson is only half of the centerpiece cover image on the current issue of OK! and made No. 1 only on PopSugar.com's list of top stories, but he makes enough appearances in other outlets (TV, online and print) to put him ahead of the pack for the first time.
THE LIST: See who else was hot this week Pattinson was No. 3 on the index for April, and USA TODAY noted that his star was on the rise as photos from the set of the Twilight sequel, New Moon, began circulating.
And if paparazzi shots weren't enough, Entertainment Tonight aired official behind-the-scenes video from the set on TV and online. Tabloids have remained fixated on Pattinson's relationships with co-stars and possible romantic interests.
Rounding out the top 10 this week: Brad Pitt, Pattinson's New Moon co-star Kristen Stewart, TLC reality stars Jon and Kate Gosselin, Kirstie Alley, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Elizabeth Edwards and Ryan and Trista Sutter (tie).
