Trailer radar: 'Little Ashes'
Wednesday, December 3, 2008 at 5:56PM | By Franck Tabouring 
Can't get enough of "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson? If that's a no, make sure to check out the trailer for Paul Morrison's "Little Ashes" right after the jump.
Written by Philippa Goslett, the film focuses on the decadent lifestyle of the young trio of Salvador Dali, Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunuel.
Pattinson is on board as Dali, while Javier Beltran plays Lorca. Matthew McNulty stars as Bunuel. As for Morrison, you may or may not have seen his last film, "Wondrous Oblivion."
To be honest, I don't know what exactly to think of "Little Ashes," now that I've seen the trailer. The story is certainly an interesting one, but as you can see below, the movie looks kind of cheap.
Word is the film will open in limited release in March 2009. Check out the trailer below, and feel free to share what you think.

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.
Trailer looks awesome. I could have done without the american voice over but the film itself loosk wonderful. Looking forward to seeing Pattinson in this. I've heard good things.
