Robert Pattinson in Surreal New Romance

by Tippi Blevins December 2, 2008 1:03 PM

For Robert Pattinson's next movie, he'll be embroiled in a surreal romance. More surreal than a 100-year-old vampire dating a teenaged girl? Yes, because he's playing surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, possibly best known to many as that guy who painted all those melty clocks. Filmed before Twilight, Little Ashes won't be out until sometime next year, but promotional clips, trailers, and pics have been coming out fast and furious in recent days, clearly benefitting from Pattinson's newfound fame. How lucky were they to cast him in this before his fee took a sharper upward turn than Dalí's moustache?

In Little Ashes, audiences will see the love lives of Dalí, as well as poet Federico García Lorca and filmmaker Luis Buñuel, although the focus is on the first two. It's a passionate friendship that develops into something more.

In 1969's Conversations With Dalí, the artist spoke as if he humored García Lorca's romantic feelings (while speaking very highly of his own booty, as well) and that, while flattered, he did not really return them. The most recent clips certainly make things seem a bit more mutual than that, though.

Of course, with a tagline like "Love. Art. Betrayal.", things can't end well for the pair. But depending on how this promotional blitz plays out, things could end very well for the movie.
