James Dean is a rising superstar; handsome, slick, smart and mild-mannered, and yet rebellious with dreams of being a famous actor. For passionate Life Magazine photographer Dennis Stock, Dean poses the perfect subject for his latest project and he's determined to capture the star in all his glory ahead of the release of his break-out movie 'Easy Of Eden'. It takes little persuasion on Stock's part to get Dean to agree to the project and the pair set out on a journey from Hollywood, through New York, and over to Fairmont, Indiana where Dean was originally from. Stock's plan is to capture the raw emotion and energy of this iconic figure of angst and coolness, and it doesn't take long before the two start to build an extraordinary friendship, that's made all the more heart-breaking on screen when you consider it's the final months of his life.
As the world commemorates 60 years of James Dean's death on September 30th 1955, his new biopic 'Life' arrives this Autumn. Award-winning director Anton Corbijn ('Control', 'The American', 'A Most Wanted Man') is at the helm, alongside screenwriter Luke Davies ('Reclaim', 'Candy'). 'Life' hits UK theatres ahead of Dean's death anniversary on September 25th 2015.
