The Dish Rag has a new interview with Little Ashes director Paul Morrison, and he gives his perspective on Robert Pattinson’s pivotal role playing Salvador Dali in the film.
Dish Rag: Playing Salvador Dali is a daunting role for a young actor.
PM: Yeah, I don’t think Rob realized what he was getting into when he agreed to do it, but he really worked hard at it, he really grappled with it, and I think he’s done something very extraordinary. It’s so difficult to do, because you have to tread light all the time between playing Dali as a young lovable young man, which he was, and suggesting the kind of pastiche of himself that he became in later life, that he presented to the public in later life, and that’s a very tall order, eand I think Rob pulled it off.
Check out the rest of the interview at The Dish Rag.

New Moon author Stephenie Meyer has a new biography coming out soon, which gives an inside look at her quick rise to the bestseller lists after being a typical Arizona housewife. The press release for the biography, Stephenie Meyer: Author of the Twilight Saga says–
This biography goes beyond a basic examination of the life and success of Stephenie Meyer. Author Lisa Rondinelli Albert’s research led her to fans who provided early e-mail correspondence with Meyer as well as never-been-seen-before photographs, including one of particular interest—Stephenie’s high school prom photo. Meyer herself had not even seen this photo until it was uncovered by Albert, who was able to put the two prom dates back in touch.
You can pre-order the book now over at Amazon!

Are you wondering where the stars of New Moon will go to after they finish their work in Vancouver and Italy for the Twilight sequel? Jaunted has roundup of what some of the stars will be up to after they’ve finished their New Moon duties–
- New York City. Robert Pattinson, who plays the 104-year-old virgin Edward Cullen, will be shooting the romance “Remember Me” directed by Allen Coulter (“Hollywoodland”) and cowritten by “Rachel Getting Married”‘s Jenny Lumet. What to tell your folks: You just really want to get into art, and where better to experience the art world than the galleries of Chelsea? Alone?
- Chicago and the ‘burbs. Kellan Lutz (Emmett) will be shooting the new “Nightmare on Elm Street” in the sleepy suburb of Barrington, Illinois — and they could need some extra scared teenagers! What to tell your folks: You’ve landed a sweet part-time job at the Taste of Chicago. Even if they think you’re faking it, how will they ever find you at the city’s biggest food fair?
- Vietnam. Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) will be shooting “The Last Airbender” for M. Night Shyamalan, in which he plays a stubborn teenage warrior opposite “Slumdog Millionaire”‘s Dev Patel. What to tell your folks: Ooh. This is a hard sell! But there’s always the ol’ volunteering-to-boost-your-college-application excuse. Just make sure you actually volunteer somewhere so you have something else to talk about.

Robert Pattinson has a new interview for the Little Ashes film he is starring in, and he covers some of the craziness surrounding New Moon as well–particuarly, what he thinks of the constant press surrounding his every move:
12. How’s the energy on ‘New Moon’ compared to ‘Twilight,’ because for ‘Twilight’ no one was sure if it was going to do well and now, obviously …
Yeah, it’s scary. It’s a very, very different experience. Last time we were just kind of … it was so easy to get the entire cast together. We’d all have dinner almost every day and be able to talk about it freely and stuff. Now it’s quite difficult to even leave the hotel. And all these random little stories become someway, somehow newsworthy, so you have to be very secretive about everything. Even if you want to just clarify something in the script or something. It’s just strange. It’s just very different … It’s very strange when you’re aware of being observed, I guess.
13. Is that similar to how it was when you were filming ‘Potter’?
Oh, no, not at all. The thing about ‘Potter,’ because everyone was so young, there weren’t really any [gossip] stories. Plus, the way we were shooting it was so impossible to get any pictures or anything. It was so, so private. And by the time I was working on it, everyone working there had worked there for about five or six years anyway, so they all knew each other. So nothing was really newsworthy. There wasn’t a lot happening. It seems that on [the 'Twilight' movies], maybe because they’re a little bit older, it seems like every single day there’s a new story coming out. I also think that’s it’s because all of these sort of blog sites have become way more popular in the last few years than they were then. And I guess that’s where most of the gossipy things go to.
Aww, Robert Pattinson hates me! It’s only because we love you, though! Read the rest over at Moviefone.

Here’s an awesome New Moon movie poster for Bella Swan. NMM.org reader James was kind enough to send me this fan art he made. The garnet/burgundy/purple shades match very well with the official golden New Moon logo, don’t they?
He promises a wallpaper on the way, in the meantime download the full-resolution poster here.
Kellan Lutz has arrived back from his Twilight publicity tour of Australia to Los Angeles. Just Jared has several pics of the hunky New Moon vamp back in the states.
