The Summer House @ Cannes Film Fest

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

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.

Rob Leaving Venice Studio - HQ

From JustJared.com:

Robert Pattinson reaches for the car door as he leaves a studio in Venice, Calif., on Saturday afternoon (May 9).

Actress Emmy Rossum was also seen leaving the same studio this afternoon. Robert, 22, held on tight to an unmarked CD and script.

He is whistling and tapping his leg with his hand :)

An important note from Regents Releasing

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.

Little Ashes Movement - Day 33

We are on Day 35!!! :))

Rob Leaving Venice CA Studio

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.

Should Robert Pattinson Worry About Bad Reviews?

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.
