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.

Excuse me while I go smear blue paint all over my face.
fyi - blue face paint on Rob - shmexy as hell. Blue face paint on AJ - smurf from hell.
AJ--FUNNY, Miss Smurfette!
This interview just makes me that much more excited to see the movie. I have been reading reviews of the film all morning and it looks to be an amazing film. I hope it lives up to my expectations and I have a feeling it will.
I'm glad they didn't slap a lower rating on the film. When he describes the "rawness" of the intimate scenes I cannot imagine how they would have done that at a lower rating. But I am excited to see how they showcase Dali's feelings for Lorca and visa versa. As well as the budding relationship, I hear the scenes of them on the beach and riding bikes together are quite touching.
I'm so excited to see this film, I just can't stand it! Why, oh why, is March so far away?! It will be so interesting to see Rob in a more mature, demanding role where he truly has to flex his acting muscles.
Also, I love that in this interview Paul Morrison comments on how smart Rob is. Of course, we already knew that, but it is cool hearing it from people he worked so closely with. You can tell that everyone who has worked with him has the utmost respect for him... this just makes Rob even more sexy.
