Pattinson 'will attract people to Ashes'

Matthew McNulty has said that the presence of Robert Pattinson in the lead role of new Salvador Dalí biopic Little Ashes will attract people to the film.

The actor, who plays filmmaker Louis Buñuel in the movie, told DS that he was not concerned that it would be overshadowed by the Twilight star's nude and sex scenes.

McNulty said: "If people want to judge [the film] before they've actually seen it and judge it on the fact that there's a teen heartthrob playing the lead then that's more fool them.

"I think that the film has got the merit of its own through it's writing and and the cinematography, so hopefully word of mouth will dispel any of that."

He added: "A lot of people that will now see this film because of Rob Pattinson will be able to form a fresh opinion of surrealism."
