tMf dissects Little Ashes

The Movie Fanatic has a 4 part closer look at Little Ashes HERE. Some parts:

Being 'very involved' involved in the filming process, what can you share with us on any 'behind the scenes' info? How did the actors work together? Any humorous anecdotes? And what everyone wants to know - How was it working with Rob Pattinson, seeing him in action as Salvador Dali?

Executive producer of Little Ashes Carlo Dusi: I have to tread a little carefully about any "behind the scenes" info, but I don't think that there's any problem in telling you that, despite the little money and very hard work involved in the shoot, the atmosphere behind the scenes was generally extremely positive, and everyone worked together very well, and have in fact all remained very friendly since then. Rob was as friendly, approachable and fun to be around in our downtime as he was a true professional while on set, and his commitment to becoming Salvador Dali' was extremely impressive - and paid off in generating a performance which I personally think is extraordinary.

We did completely confuse Javier Beltran's mother when she stumbled across our shoot and failed to recognize her own son dressed as Garcia Lorca, but other than that Barcelona proved to be a very friendly place to shoot in, and a wonderful base for us all to spend some time in. I'll save the proper gossip for when the site is well and truly up and running...

Access Hollywood-Little Ashes and more

Access Hollywood will show the trailer of Little Ashes today. Check your local listings for the time. And I'm sure we'll have it up by the end of the night on the blog :-)

Also Little Ashes director Paul Morrison was interviewed by Sam Kerby of tMf. And here are the parts with Rob.
What are your hopes for distribution? Independent cinemas? – or just as many as possible?
(laughs) As many as possible! It would be nice if it would cross over from being an art movie, because I think there is a lot in it for young people, so it could cross over – Robert will probably help with that! (laughs)

Yea the twilight thing will probably help…
Yea that would be great.

Did you know he was going to be in Twilight when you cast him?
Did I know? No, I kind of suspected he was going to be very big though.

Did you do research into the characters, or did you leave more of that up to the actors?
Well in the period I described to you, when you’re honing the script, I don’t do too much research. I like my head to be clear, to think about the drama and the writing of the story. (I do more) afterward, when I’m going to be asked loads of questions by really smart actors (laughs) - particularly Robert, who’s very very smart. Every actor is different, some just work from the page some like to do a lot of research. For me it was important that the actors weren’t mimicking the characters, particularly with Dali where there is a lot of media and footage and people have an idea about him in their heads – a caricature of Dali. These were young guys and it was very important that they act from their hearts rather than their heads.

What was the rehearsal process like?
We had two weeks for rehearsal which wasn't bad for a movie. I have a house in the South of France and I took Rob and Javier down, and my family was there, and they began to relate to their characters and the story. And then we went back to Barcelona. I don't really expect the performance to come together in rehearsal. It's time for everyone to find out what each scene is about and look inside each character so when we get on the set the groundwork has been done for them to create the characters. I don't expect them to be finished.

17 Magazine Quotes w/Rob

"It sounds lame, but I was really concentrating on this job. It was my first American thing so I was pretty focused. I went to Portland for two months before we starting shooting, and I just didn't talk to anybody for ages during the beginning of the shoot. I never went out, but I kind of broke down half way through. I was like, 'Okay, people are starting to think that I'm actually out of my mind now.'" 

"I've got a terrible memory—I end up repeating myself quite a lot. The only thing I can remember is that I'm going to repeat myself!" 

"If I go and try to watch a movie by myself I'll be completely transfixed the whole time, concentrating one hundred percent. But if I'm with another person on a date or something, within two minutes I'll be like 'This is rubbish, this is rubbish. We should leave and do something else.' I don't really know why." 

"I spent a long time trying to figure out how to play [Edward's part] without making a fool out of myself. The whole book is written from Bella's perspective and she's in love with him. I mean, the guy can be anybody — he could be an alien — and you see past everything if you're in love with someone."

"I was just taking out my trash and I had, like, 300 cans of Diet Coke. It was just like, 'How did that happen?' I don't even remember buying them. I also like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume." 

"I went to do my first big movie when I was 17. I was in South Africa for three and half months,

and I was by myself"

 

"I'm really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I'm terrified of crossing streets. I'm also very accident-prone...I think people aim for me."
