Trailer for 'Little Ashes' Emerges

Regent must be loving the existence of 'Twilight'

While Robert Pattinson's recent star power at the hands of Twilight is certainly going to up the profile of Little Ashes I don't see it ultimately doing any kind of considerable business, but that shouldn't stop the new found Pattinson fans from going into orgiastic convulsions as their favorite vampire lover puts on a fancy pants mustache and gets all artistic as Salvador Dali.

The trailer for the film has just debuted over at Yahoo and it looks decent enough, but I can't say I have any interest in it. The story follows the eccentric artist Salvador Dalí and renowned poet and revolutionary Federico García Lorca as they find their artistic and sexual freedom in each other. Set prior to the Spanish Civil War and shot on location in Spain the feature is sure to include a dabble of political and moral conundrums, but I remain disinterested.

Give the trailer a peek below or click here to watch it in high-definition. I also have a gallery of 24 pictures from the film right here if you are interested. Little Ashes hits theaters on Friday, March 27, 2009.

I saw Little Ashes at Raindance. Pattinson exceeded my expectation and is very convincing as Dali and as the film progresses he grows into the Dali we think we know.Pattinson and Beltran both give very intense performances and you totally buy into the Dali/Lorca relationship. The actors had great chemistry with one another. The sexual aspects of the story are handled beautifully.

The scene between Pattinson and Beltran in the moonlit waters is so incredibly beautiful and it probably ranks as the most gorgeous looking scene I've ever seen. The cinematographer on this film needs a pat on the back as does the composer and costume designer. The scene where Dali watches Lorca make love to Magdalena sounds titilating but actually is a heartbreaking moment and Pattinson is incredible.

The growing fascination between Lorca and Dali is beautfully played out and the script has obviously been crafted with care and attention. The director deserves much praise for handling this film with such tact and sensitivity and I hope it gets picked up for a decent cinema release.I wont spoil the end for people but its particularly tragic and Pattinson really shines in this key moment.

Saw the film at a screening and Pattinson and Beltran had wonderful chemistry. Both actors really got the essence of the characters. Pattinson's role was harder as its so easy to go over the top but he pulled off a wonderful performance. A very brave interpretation. The film looks visually stunning and I found the time flew by. A totally engrossing and absorbing film. Fangirls of Pattinson will have much to enjoy. He makes a great on screen drunk and has excellent comic timing but is also just as good in the more emotional moments. I was very impressed with him. Javier Beltran was also excellent and has the larger role of the two but I'm not sure if he has that little extra something to make him a successful film actor. He does have wonderful soulful eyes though.

It could be a good film, but the mustache really, really doesn't work.

Helloooo-
He's playing Salvador Dali, who wore a mustache like that! It's about playing Salvador, not looking his best as Robert. Doink!
