Even though New Moon won’t be on the books for several months, you can still get another Robert Pattinson fix now.

Later this spring, the 22-year-old heartthrob will set aside the blood sucking and pick up a brush for his role as Salvador Dali. Pattinson will play an 18-year-old version of the famous surrealist painter.

The film, set in 1922, will focus on the relationship between the eccentric artist and his two friends, poet/dramatist Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltran) and filmmaker Luis Buñel (Matthew McNulty). It will also explore the attraction between Lorca and Dali.

Little Ashes is scheduled to open on March 27.
