Amanda Bell Talks to Paul Morrision About Little Ashes
Amanda Bell from Examiner  has been fortunate enough to interview Paul Morrison, the director of Little Ashes. There have been quite a few interviews of late given that the movie is being released in the UK and US tomorrow, but I never tire of reading articles about this film. Especially Paul Morrison’s comments about Rob:
For Lorca and Dali, I must have seen every up-and-coming young actor who was available in both Spain and the U.K. Originally, Rob read for Lorca, and I was going to cast Dali in Spain. But Rob felt so much more a Dali – the combination of acute intelligence and vulnerability and self-consciousness that the part demanded – that I switched, and brought him back to read for Dali. He was perfect. I never saw anyone in Spain who felt right for Dali, by the way.
Paul mentions that Rob’s current fame is good for the film and seems to take a jab at the media by saying it is irritating when they see Rob misquoted or taken out of context (did you take notes there Amanda). You can read the full article here.

Interesting article, thanks for posting Maria.
Perhaps Owen from EW should read this, especially the part about the script’s non-attempt at being biopic and the exploration of one sentimental moment. Like I said above, he missed out.
