  • Elloo
    Hahhaha I love Rob's try at an italian accent! I also loved when he roared ;-D
  • Sara
    It's not Italian, it's Spanish.
  • Elloo
    hahaha sorry thats what i meant!
  • VancouverVamp
    Sweet lord baby jesus give me a razor and tweezers and let me at him...still sexy but that "clocksworth from beauty and the beast" look has to go!!!!
  • agreed.
    nice comparison, by the way xD
  • rattlergrl
    Haha, I couldn't agree with you more. I still want to see this though.
  • Leanneduh
    im not loving it to be fair...
    i mean dont get me wrong i will go and see the film at the cinema and stuff but im willing to be proven wrong...rob is an incredible actor and i bet he pulls it off! x
  • mickey_lamb
    idk what this is even about what in the world was that scene in the beginning when some weirdo was like petting rob and reading to him... strange...
  • Dee<3
    its a gay love tragedy based on a true story and real people
  • jamie
    omg no not rob in a gay movie
  • jamie
    i dont hate gay pple are anything i just cant see robert doing a gay movie well i guess i am now i just hope he dose not do anymore

    oh n i have been hearing stuff that he might be gay
    plz tell me its not
  • Amanda
    I wouldn't exactly call it a tragedy. Dali found Gala who he called his true soulmate. They lived together well into their old age until she died following his death ten years later.
  • michie
    um... i won't watch it. I'm not one of those fan girls who will watch it just cause Robert's in it. It seems kind of funny to me and just by watching this little tidbit, it seems like more of a comedy than any thing. If i go watch it, me and my friends would crack up every single time we saw the mustache. so...yeah
  • u_cnt_decode_me
    i must say that i absolutly loveeeeee rob.. but i'm not so sure about this film.. and that rediculous mustache!!
  • Nataniasmom
    That looks amazing! Cannot wait to see it, I love Salvador Dali, wow, thats goin to be good :)
  • TeamRob
    Sheila!!! LOL! Please! No more plucking! Poor guy has suffered enough... at least we know it wasn't real!!!
  • Agreed!!!
  • jamie
    yes the poor guy has suffered enough
  • i dont know if i will see little ashes but i probably will lol
  • Emily
    Good lord -- he IS Dali. I mean, apart from a few lapses in the accent, that was spot on. And dang, it is SO not a comedy. I'm pretty obsessed with Lorca and his story is beyond tragic. I may be biased but Dali was a dick. Rob's got him down. I'm really excited for it.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    He did do great! I'm looking forward to seeing the entire film. I think it is really going to show his strength as an actor.
  • Heidy
    WTF!!!! Rob ur no Heath Ledger!!! U fine as hell, but not so solid in Hollywood that u can pull off a homosexual character!!!! Get a little more gray in the sideburns b4 u take on a role that must be performed by an ICON!!!!!
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    Do you even know who and what the story is about? He portrays him very well. I suggest doing some reading up on history before you start criticizing his ability to play this character.
  • Heidy
    Don't really think last comment was accurate. Sorry Rob, I'll try to familiarize myself with the stoy b4 I trip again!!! My bad!!!
  • TravisC
    Salvador Dali is an inspiration, stash and all. Rob did a good job of impersonating Dali and I'll be seieng it when it comes out.
  • individual
    wow i was skeptical at first...but now i really want to see this movie. haha
  • Cutelil
    He is playing Salvador Dali! He is in character mustache, eyebrows, hair and all!
  • scully33
    "DO YOU SEE THE BEAR?" LOL. I was laughing through half of that and I'm not sure I was supposed to be laughing at it? His facial expressions were funny though! Dali was oh so eccentric in life though so Rob appears to be spot on in his portrayal.

    Dali was manic and had some major issues personality wise. I will watch the movie because the character is so interesting and I definitely think Rob can do it justice.
  • KINALuvzWolves
    I think he'll make a wonderful Dali because Rob is kind of a weirdo himself haha. My parents are both from Spain and I have to say his accent is terrible :( I can't wait to see this, but I hope I don't cringe the entire time.
  • LOL. i'll stick with robert in twilight & anything related to that. WTF IS UP WITH THE MUSTACHE!? hahaha.
  • Robert Pattinson isn't Robert Pattinson anymore......
    GIVE ME BACK ROBERT PATTINSON......lol
  • newmoon_897
    that was interesting, to quiet, and boring to follow, he did great in twilight and Harry Potter, but i am proud of him for trying another film :D
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    He did this film BEFORE he got the job to do Twilight. This is pre-Twilight Rob! He is very talented . . . talented beyond the constraints of Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga.
  • newmoon_897
    oh really? well then congrats rob, i think if i had seen little ashes first then i would have a different prospective, thanks for the info tweater76 :D
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    he did both "little ashes" and "how to be" before he got the twilight role. they're being released now on the coat-tails of the success of twilight . . . which is really smart. i'm not sure how many people would have gone to see either without Rob's name behind them NOW rather than a year ago.
  • gottobekidding
    Rob is not going to be stuck as Edward! Salvador Dali was an eccentric, odd man. Rob seems to have him down. I'm so excited for him. I would love to know if there are any reviews of the movie yet. Does anyone know?
  • Ugh. Again with the random films I don't care about & will not be seeing because they are not about anything that would interest me or most people. As soon as it comes out he'll be plagued with 'he is gay!!!!' rumors. As if he doesn't have enough stress in his life. Poor guy. I wish he hadn't taken this roll. Also, has anyone else made a comparison to him getting naked in this to Daniel Radcliffe in Equus? I don't know why but that was the first thing to pop into my head as soon as I heard Rob was doing naked stuff in this one. Maybe being in HP got to them both? O.o' Just a thought.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    Wow . . . that's a bit harsh. And he took this roll and filmed this movie BEFORE he even auditioned for Twilight. While I respect the fact that you don't think this movie is up your alley, many people are interested in history and historical figures . . . Dali being one of them. It is a very tragic story as well.

    He's already been called gay in the media . . . and it's simply laughable. This is what I'm talking about with fans causing undo stress on actors. He is not and should not be stuck in Harry Potter/Twilight type films. He has the right, as a person and an artist to take whatever kinds of rolls he sees fit. It is not our job (the fans) to babysit him and/or try to protect him from the big, bad world.

    I personally think this could be an Oscar worthy performance. It's major and I'm very glad he took the roll. He's got real talent .. . not just a pretty face.
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    Very well said, I agree the comment above was harsh. This role was done and dusted a couple off years ago and is only getting put out there now, its the same with "how to be" which also looks like anamazing film.

    This shows how diverse he is as an actor and he's showing everyone that he's not just Edward Cullen! And I cant wait to see both films, now all we need is for them to be released in the UK Lol
  • You are right as usual Twete76. I shouldn't judge the movie just because I dislike the person it is about. I've had to do reports (back when I was in high school) about Dali & just never liked him. I'm sure Rob will do a wonderful job regardless of the subject of the film. He is a wonderful actor & if he can learn to deal with his fame I predict he will become an iconic actor who wins lots of awards like Oscars. Good luck to him.

    Also thank you for reminding me to be objective with my opinions without being rude. I really do appriciate it. That is one of the things I love most about Twilight fans is that most of us are really cool, down to earth people (even though we all have our fan girl moments, lol). ^_^
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    It's hard to see someone we love in a certain role (ie: pattinson as edward) play a character that seems so unlike him. The cool thing about Pattinson is that he seems to take parts that do challenge him and aren't "in the norm.". All I could think when I heard about him playing Dali was "WOW, this kid really has balls.". (pardon the pun). Sure he makes one hot vampire but what's so freaking cool about him is that he is obviously sooo much more!!!

    I love the Twilight fans for the most part as well. I just think sometimes our (mine included) judgment gets clouded by the love and passion we have for the books. Heavens knows it's easy to do!!!!
  • Nataniasmom
    I am very interested, and so is anyone interested in the artist, Salvador Dali. People, actors are allowed to do other things. Actors should stretch their acting abilities.
  • Jennifer
    I can't watch it. The little clips of this looks like he did great with the character but I dunno anything about this Dali fellow. Anyhoo the things him and this other dude do physically just turns me the wrong way. Straight men shouldn't play gay. I mean come on why won't they let gay actors play these roles. Rob is too hot, and as a woman that thinks he is hot I could think of better things for him to do than make out with another guy. ? It freaks me out, I can't watch Rob sex it up with a guy. LOL
  • Grasshopper
    "Straight men shouldn't play gay."? Really? So... Does that mean that gay men shouldn't play straight? It happens both ways all the time. I'm sure they could have found a gay actor for the role, but the director made the choice to cast Rob. Why? Probably because of why most actors are cast... The director saw him as being best for the role.
    I also believe that Rob is hot, but that doesn't mean that I won't see the movie merely for that reason. Give the guy some credit. He wanted to take a role that would be a challenge and that would help him grow as an actor.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    THANK YOU!!!!
  • emma
    hahaha he's so gay
  • CullenFan1
    hhaha..rob is so funny and adorable..but weird in a way..but still to cute!!!!
    can't wait to see this movie :)
  • punkster17
    I'm looking forward to seeing this film, Rob did a good job in twilight but I can't wait to see him portray someone else besides Eward Cullen but I don't agree with the mustache at all it doesn't look right lol
    =]
  • mrs cullen:DD
    it looks like a good movie to watch!!

    and non the less its robert pattinson
    hott!!
    even if he does play a homosexual in this movie
    *tear*

    p.s
    its a relief that in real life he doesn't have that ridiculous beard!
  • Dawn
    I won't be seeing this, I just can't. I can't watch Rob as a homosexual, it would ruin it for me. I know it is acting and I get that, but my mind can't handle it. LOL I will go see him in How To BE though.
  • Dee<3
    so u can see him play a vampire (twilight) and a semi syco person (how to be),
    but u cant watch him play a gay painter??
  • He is a really good actor It will be interesting to see
  • cam
    oohhh my! it doesnt even sound like him! he is sooo talented! ahh...i dont think i can watch this though. i mean...i would love to see him even remotely...erm...'clothingless'...but not with another guy. i respect his stamina and i love his work but there is only so much i can take. :] i love this guy.
  • LesleyAnne
    .....wow, I like watched a second of it then had to turn it off when that dude was stroking Rob. I went back to see the mustache everyone was talking about though. lol. Wierd.
  • foreverTWInerd
    Wow, this looks great! Go Rob for breaking out of the "series" shell. I will definately go see this movie! Yes, the accent is bad (but its insanely cheaply made and he is new in his craft) five years from now, Rob P is going to be unstopable. I am just happy he is taking different roles. Rob support x 100
  • Brittney
    All I can say is wow. Rob's performance is amazing in this movie! And that's something since I can say that over just a 4 minute clip. Plus he made me laugh in a few of those funny moments and the faces he made. He is amazing. I can't wait to see this movie!
  • MrsLautner
    Ehhh.. o.0 I don't think I'll be seeing this movie... :\\ It's not really my taste...
    And I agree with Dawn, if I see him as that, I will only see him as that. xD
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    Ok, I'm a bit annoyed . . . Rob did this film BEFORE he got the job on Twilight. BEFORE. And who gives a flying rats butt if he's playing someone who is gay? Other actors do it all the time . . . OH, WAIT that's what truly GOOD actors do . . . they take rolls that challenge them and make them grow as artists.

    Eventually the Twilight Saga will be over and each of these actors has the right to take other rolls in other movies as they see fit. The fact that some fans seem to want to control the movies he's in now makes me LMAO. If you can't handle it . . . don't go see it but don't sit around and whine because beautiful Rob is kissing on another dude. (oh yeah, TRUE Rob fans would support his works regardless)
  • Grasshopper
    Thank you! I couldn't have put it better myself. If you don't like it, don't see it! I personally think this looks amazing and can't wait to see it. He's just trying to grow and strengthen his range as an actor, something that (as mentioned above!) good actors do. I remember reading an article somewhere with Kellan talking about wanting to play a really complex character like a drug addict or something. That's similar to what Rob did with Little Ashes. Don't hate on someone for merely trying to better themsleves!
  • Isalight
    A.M.E.N! It's sad how some can't see Robert as the talented actor he is rather than the character he portraits. He plays one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century and by all accounts pulls it off! Actors like Al Pachino have shown interest to play Dali (in other movies). This could be Oscar material and some have the nerve to complain he kisses a guy in the movie? Every actor should challenge himself to play roles that are very different from other roles they played and from themselves because THAT is what acting is all about. I say BRAVO for the guts to take on this role at the age of 21, put in all the amazing hard work to get this complex character and make it work on screen.
    I'd rather see him in something like this even if it's controversial than a repetition of "pretty boy" roles.
  • Jo
    Well put!
    Looking forward to seeing him in different roles.
    I think he's amazingly talented, and needs to branch out - so I can't wait to see this, and How To Be, which looks quite funny.
  • AshLyd
    u go.I completly agree. He plays the part well.mustache and all.
  • Agreed!!! I have seen Haunted airman and The Bad Mother's Handbook and he is truly a great actor so many faces in only that beautiful one
  • Twilight-love
    Go Rob...Go Rob....i dun care if u make out with another guy... i just wanna see ur performance... It's good to see u portraying another character than Edward.. I know u did the best... keep it up Sweet Rob... i'm always by ur side!!!!! BIG FAN ROB!!!! Muahh....
  • Nataniasmom
    Well, it just goes to show that twilight has attracted a lot of younger fans. Most of the younger fans (not all) probably have no clue who Salvador Dali is.
    They only are interested in Edward and Cedric.
    I for one and happy about this, this can be for us grown ups, a Rob film just for us to watch and love :)
    And Dali had that mustache in real life, he was a VERY eccentric artist, he was probably actually bisexual as he did at one point marry a woman, but he fell in love with a male classmate when he was younger.
    He was a very interesting person and for anyone who is interested you should definitely read about him and see this movie. :)
  • Nataniasmom
    Also, if you are interested, here are a couple amazing Salvador Dali paintings:

    First is "The Persistence of Memory"
    http://www.artquotes.net/masters/salvador-dali/...

    And this is called "The Dream"
    http://allforthegreatergood.com/Salvador_Dali_-...

    This website has 1029 of Dalis paintings as well as watercolors and other works of art, I should tell u there are some nudes.

    Also, in case u are wondering if Rob got the look down, have a look at the real Dali, note the little bows on either end of the mustache :P

    Shoot, sorry to triple post but that link with the pic of Dali didnt work for some reason, hopefully one of these will :)

  • Jo
    I will have to see this one just to see the rest of Rob's performance, he seems to get right in to his characters, I couldn't even tell that was him! Great job so far!
  • Kris
    Did you see the bear?... ROAR! Hilarious!
  • ClareB
    Looks great, Rob's a real character actor, i think he really pulls it off, can't wait to see it. Roll on May.
  • heatherh
    I love Rob, I love the whole Twilight Saga, but I will not pay money to go see this. Just the trailer turns me off and completely ruins it for my "vision" of Rob as Edward Cullen. Nope. Still love ya Rob, but not in this one!
  • Adriana
    Well Rob isn't Edward Cullen is he? he plays Edward Cullen, and Rob is an actor so he will take on other roles, like Salvador Dali, Tell you the truth I'm ashamed to be associtated with some so-called "Twilight" fans who just comment in here making fun of a talented young man, obiviously you should had gotten stuck with High School Muscial, because I think the Twilight saga is too smart for you. Yes because even Edward Cullen would be disgusted by the uneducated comments here.
  • RustyHalo
    I agree Adriana, uneducated comments indeed.
  • Daniela23
    And aleluia to that! Adriana, you said everything what I think.
    I can understand that this maybe isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that some people are not interested in history or art themes. I really get that...but this is just ridiculous. He is an actor playing a role. He isn't here to satisfy our own personal fantasies.
    I am still appalled that most of them don't even know who Dali was, and they even think he was Italian...I'm refering to comments about his "italian accent".
    We must face it, most of Twi fans are under 16. I'm 23 and I must say I am ashamed sometimes that I am a fan because of thoughtless comments that apeared recently...most of them are "Is he playing a gay guy??!!!"...and that is literally all that they are interested in connection to the movie.
  • jmc
    Uhmmm, I'm under 16 and I know who Dali is AND I have gay friends. People out of there teens make statements like that too. I'm not angry or anything, but I've seen a lot of comments (not on this particular subject) on how the "fans under 13/16 etc" are making the ones making these rude assumptions.
  • beanie
    The movie looks interesting and they did a good job making Rob look the part. The accent is kind of off, but it looks like he may have Dali's eccentricity down. I'm not going to say it's an Oscar-worthy performance or that he did an amazing job b/c I haven't seen the movie. I'll save my opinion for after I see it and not just assume it's going to be great from a 4 minute clip or because I'm a fan of Rob's hotness.
  • bampire
    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  • Brandi
    He was so funny. He can't pull off a Italian accient well, but he still looked good!!
    I can't wait to see this movie and future movies, by Robert Pattinson, to come!!!
  • Nataniasmom
    Spanish....
  • Twilight-love
    Rob is "ROB" ..he isn't EDWARD CULLEN...it's his own right to act every different role as a versatile actor... I know he did a great job , too.... He's really TALENTED and a BIG THREAT to Hollywood ... He can ACT, SING, DANCE, and Play guitar and Piano well.... Who wouldnt want tht kinda MAN as her Dream guy???? ANd he's so down-to-earth and humble .... i wish he were MINE !! haha :) Keep it up ROB! WE ALL LUV U and ALWAYS SUPPORT U frm everyway we can...just don't give up on ur career...
  • Adriana
    Thank you, bet you anything even Edward Cullen knew who Salvador Dali was because Edward loved paintings and classical music, now again how come some airheads got their hands on Twilight again? oh another thing Twilight also teaches us to accept those who are different. but I guess the airheads who to me are no Twilight fans because airheads can't read

    And Brandi

    It's a Spanish Accent not Italian.

  • eyesonfire209
    I have to piggyback on your comment.....Many moons ago, I wrote a paper on Salvador Dali and his works, focusing mainly on his painting, the dream. I completed this as a final paper, and as dreaded as it was for me in the beginning, I actually took an interest in his artwork and enjoyed learning a great deal about him. My appreciation is that art was his passion. He tried to portray this to the world not only through his paintings but with they way he lived his life, regardless of circumstances.
  • Amanda
    I'm a die hard Salvador Dali fan and I must say, Rob really does portray Dali pretty well. The accent was spot on and Rob was able to emulate Dali's pretentious swagger quite well. At first I was afraid this film would put a damper on my image of Rob as an actor because Salvador Dali is so close to my heart, but this clip has exceeded my expectations! Major kudos to Rob for being both the sexiest man ever and an amazing actor!
  • Hahaha. I laughed whenever he raises his eyebrows. So cute ^^;
  • XxEdwardCullenxX
    ok hes not gay for 1 thing he jus plys a gay guy doesnt mean he is!plus hes had girlfriends so hes defo not gay! i want 2 see this film but i also dont want to see it cuz it creeps me out to think of him as gay (not that i have anytin agenst guy people) its jus weird to think of him as guy! cuz lyk i luv him! nd also den it wud make me think of edward as gay nd thats also realy read cuz i luv him 2! bu i do wanna c it cuz rob is in it nd he'll be deadli in it cuz hes a great actor nd i luv him bu i dnt wanna c it cuz it scares me!
  • Nataniasmom
    Calm down XxEdwardCullenxX, lol, I can say with alot of confidence that this movie will be rated R and that you, based on the way you write, will not be old enough to see it, at least not legally.
    So, breath, relax, Edward is not gay, he is a fictional character.
    You do not have to see Rob portray a great artist who was a real and a amazing person who happened to be gay, if you do not want to.
    lol
  • xxMsCullenxx
    LOL hE pLAYS so Cute But Better IN tWILIGHT
  • Sydney
    Okay i can honestly say, i have no idea what this movie is about, but Rob isnt the same. He was so much better in Twilight.
    To Me its looks like he is playing a gay guy.
    I love Rob, but seriously what the.
  • bob
    GAYYYYY
  • pink
    Stragiht men shoudn't play gay?!! Now I've hard that too..
    Thats the POINt with acting, to play someone other than yourself! To ACT!
    And its awful that so many seems to have problem with homosexuality. It's normal people, just as worthy as you are. And if Rob wan't to play gay, thats good, it shows that he don't care what people think, and is an good actor. And when people say he shoudn't take the role because of rumors.. Well, If the world is so that you can't play gay in a movie without getting a lot of rumors about being gay, then it shows how important it is that someone dare to do it.

    Go Rob! And I hope the world will be more open for homosexuality in the future.
