STATUS: February 2013 Maria: I think this is a type and should be 2014] LOCATION: Canada PRODUCER: Iain Canning – Emile Sherman – Christina Piovesan DIRECTOR: Anton Corbijn WRITER: Luke Davies CAST: Robert Pattinson – Dane DeHaan FIRST GENERATION FILMS 416-371-6802 christina@firstgenerationfilms.com FILMNATION ENTERTAINMENT 345 N Maple Dr., Ste 202, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 310-859-0088 Fax: 310-859-0089 A true story about the friendship between James Dean (DeHaan) and Life Magazine photographer Dennis Stock (Pattinson).

The gig became a personal journey for both as they traveled from L.A. to New York to Indiana. It led Stock to capture iconic images before Dean’s launch to stardom with East of Eden (1955).”
Thanks @didi__fey
mmm They both sound a bit interesting. I might go see those films when they come out.
HaHaHa – Just joking. I though I might mix it around a bit from my usual SQUEEEEEEEEEEE
LOL Carmel!! I’ll add an extra big SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Exciting 😀
I can’t wait for “Life”. Honestly if you saw Place Beyond the Pines then you will know who Dane DeHaan is – Dane and Rob on a road trip together. We may never survive. I cannot wait to see the chemistry between the two of them.
Really hope he stays involved with Life.
@Carmel & @Michelle sometimes a SQUEEEEE is the only coherent thing to say lol.
LOL, Carmel. Well, Rob’s name is still attached to QOTD, so… we’ll see, shall we? As for ‘Life’ – OMG should be awesome. Wonder if they’ll film it it black and white? Will suit Corbijn’s style and also the era. And Rob looks stunning in the b & w Dior ad. Three damn good reasons to keep it monochrome. BTW, did anyone check out Dane De Haan’s new film (with Daniel Radcliff) called ‘Kill Your Darlings’? The trailer is on Youtube and there’s a scene with Dane that just screams James Dean. I think the kid is a great choice to portray him. This film has got me as excited as I was about ‘Cosmopolis’. It’s going to be fantastic for Rob, I can feel it!
Love this gif, the look on Robs face in these scenes and the fun – priceless and beautiful………DiorRob exceptional. Rob’s new projects – so looking forward to these. Thanks Maria for update on films and the gif, of course – makes my day!
Took me 15 minutes to actually READ the print…… my eyes kept wandering back to that gorgeous gif!
LOL @Carmel.
@Maria. So I just went and watched the trailer for Place Beyond The Pines. Sometimes I think I really DO live under a rock ……
@Sue it’s one film I made sure to see at the cinema. Dane is extraordinary in it. Funnily enough my sister just told me she watched it last night. I told her about Life – she said and I quote “he is great casting as Dean”
@Trish see my comment to @Sue re Place Beyond the Pines. Kill Your Darlings is a film on my radar since everyone raved about it at Sundance this year. Dane is good real good and he’s perfect as Dean
Lol @carmel
@Maria. Just downloaded Place Beyond The Pines & the new epi of SOA, so I’m set for a good weekend! Looking forward to both!
Oh @Sue thx for reminder re SOA
Can’t wait to hear your response re Pines – it’s got Ben Mendelssohn in it as well which is also a bonus
Oh wow, great catching up in here!! First off that gif, that gif *happy sigh* Great seeing more info on these projects. Bring it on!!!! 🙂 Life just sounds fantastic, I have the Pines film on my rental list! Look forward to catching that and Kill your darlings too.
I’m looking forward to Rob working with Herzog too. 🙂
Thanks Maria for all the info 🙂
