The sudden rise of Robert Pattinson to teen-idol status as a result of his starring role in the hit Twilight is likely to draw big audiences to Little Ashes, an independent film originally aimed at the relatively small art-house crowd that was filmed before Pattinson's career took off, the film's director, Paul Morrison, told today's (Friday) Los Angeles Times. "I love the fact that an audience is going to be drawn to the film, partly through Rob, that wouldn't otherwise get to this kind of movie," Morrison said. In the film, Pattinson plays Spanish painter Salvador Dali, who had a homosexual affair with the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. Morrison indicated that he was astounded when Pattinson became an overnight star. "It's just extraordinary, jaw dropping," he told the Times . "And great for us. For a little film like this you need a bit of luck."
