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.
