Social Butterflies

Robert Pattinson will co-star with Javier Beltran in an intimate story called Little Ashes that will soon gain great attention. While both men are great actors and great looking, the movie is a story that will detail the intimate relationship between Spanish artist Salvador Dalí and poet Federico Garcia Lorca. Robert has been signed up to play Dalí and Javier Beltran signed up to play Lorca.

 The Guardian wrote: “Described by its producers as ‘racy’ and ’sexy’, the film will show Dalí and Lorca’s feelings deepen into a love affair which the sexually repressed artist tries and fails to consummate. As a substitute, Lorca sleeps with a female friend, with Dalí present as a voyeur. The interpretation, by British screenwriter Philippa Goslett, is likely to cause controversy among biographers and historians. Although a physically intimate relationship between the men has long been rumoured, Dali told interviewers more than once that he rejected the homosexual Lorca’s attempts to seduce him.”

I personally think that this movie sounds brilliant, and although some might tie Little Ashes as another Brokeback Mountain, this portrayal should hold its own ground. I can’t wait until it comes out in theatres, I’ll update when more information on the movie surfaces.
