“Twilight” Premiere And Reviews
For many of “Twilight” fans, the long-awaited premiere of “Twilight” is the biggest event of the year, of course. With nearly 2,000 shows already sold out, Summit Entertainment’s teen vampire romance “Twilight” is looking more like a studio blockbuster than some of the blockbusters.
“Twilight” has whipped up such a frenzy among tween and teenage girls that advance ticket sales are the biggest for any film since “The Dark Knight.” - Variety
“Twilight,” the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel opened this Friday. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke from a script by Melissa Rosenberg, the Summit release stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Cam Cigandet, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone and Ashley Greene.
Seems most of the major outlets have published reviews, and they’re quite positive, there are also lots of disappointment.

“Little Ashes” Hi-Res Photos, Poster And More…
“Little Ashes,” romantic story about the young life and loves of artist Salvador Dali, filmmaker Luis Buñuel and writer Federico Garcia Lorca is directed by Paul Morrison from a script by Philippa Goslett.
Paul Morrison’s first feature film, “Solomon and Gaenor” was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
For me, Little Ashes is first and foremost a love story, moving and tender. This is a forbidden love between two men that moves from a silent, aching longing to one incandescent and glorious moment of promise, only to end in rejection and disillusionment. García Lorca’s love for Dalí gives the movie its shape, its dramatic spine. This is first and foremost an actor’s movie, truthful and beautiful, intimate and spare. The performances dominate.
This is also a film about integrity. Encouraged by Magdalena, García Lorca keeps faith with his beliefs, his roots, his work and, eventually, his sexuality. Dalí chooses notoriety and success and a fantastic kind of elitism over deeper values.
These are universal themes, which a wide audience can understand and identify with. This is a film about artists but not a film about art.
The film vibrates with the fun and humor and anarchic excitement of their early lives and moves with them to a deep kind of knowledge, despair, beauty and eventually death; yet a legacy that lives on. The ending should not be without hope, for we know their art lives on.
The film is not a conventional period drama. The issues these men were confronting are incontestably modern.
said Paul Morrison.
“Little Ashes” was written by Philippa Goslett with colleague Moira Campbell, with support from leading biographer Ian Gibson and Salvador’s great nephew, Slim Dalí (who can be seen singing in the film’s nightclub scenes). “Little Ashes” is Goslett’s first screenplay. She is currently writing “Mr. Microscopic” for BAFTA award-winning director Michael Baig-Clifford. Goslett is also working on “Mantrap for Gaby Dellal” (”On a Clear Day“) and “Isabella” for Claudia Solti.

Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dalí in “Little Ashes” First Look
After role of vampire Edward Cullen in Stephenie Meyer adaptation “Twilight,” British actor Robert Pattinson plays surrealist painter Salvador Dalí in drama “Little Ashes.”
Here are the first photos of Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dalí, Matthew McNulty as Luis Buñuel and Javier Beltran as Federico García Lorca.
Pattinson plays an 18-year-old Dalí who moves to Madrid where he begins experimenting with the cubist style that launched his young career. Set in 1920s Spain, the film focuses on poet Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltrán) and the intense bond he forms with Dalí (Robert Pattinson) while attending art school in Madrid. Dali swore that Lorca’s lust for him never became physical, but screenwriter Philippa Goslett’s take on the relationship is much steamier.
“The film’s Web site promises that it will come to select theaters in 2009 and that it is rated R for “sexual content, language and a brief disturbing image.” Clearly, Pattinson’s “Twilight” follow-up will be a long way from Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling young-adult novels — but his loyal fans are already eager to see if he will once again dazzle them.” [MTV]
“Little Ashes” is directed by British filmmaker Paul Morrison from a script by Philippa Goslett. The film first premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in the UK and is being distributed in the US by Regent Releasing.
No official release date has been set for “Little Ashes,” but we can expect it to see it play in limited theaters during the first-half of 2009.
