‘Little Ashes’ is set to release this Friday, May 8th, and Robert Pattinson is doing the publicity rounds to promote the independent biopic of artist Salvador Dali. Pattinson gave a two part interview (part one is here and part two here,) to Moviefone and opened up about how he enjoyed portraying the iconic artist and wants to continue doing more biographical work.

And then when you realize you’re walking right and stuff, and people — Spanish people! — know who you’re playing, without the moustache, they know immediately just by looking in your eyes, it’s very satisfying. I like the idea of that; I’d quite like to do it again. And I’m always quite attracted to playing real people.

Pattinson also mentions his admiration for Taylor Lautner’s athleticism and is looking forward to seeing what he does as Jacob Black in ‘New Moon.’ 

‘Little Ashes’  is so different from ‘Twilight’ - are you planning on seeing it in the theater? Gonna pass and catch in on DVD? Check out the trailer below and let us know if you are going to see this opening weekend or not.

‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson has a busy year ahead of him. With the vampire sequel ‘New Moon’ scheduled to start filming and his latest movie ‘Little Ashes’  both happening in March 2009 and an (as yet) uncomfirmed role in ‘Ohio,’  the in demand actor may be headed to London’s West End theater district. David Pugh, the producer who brought Daniel Radcliffe to the live stage in the revival of Equus, has confirmed to Variety that he will be developing something with Pattinson for the year 2010. It is the perfect time for him to expand his acting career to theater if he wants.
