Life stars Robert Pattinson as Dennis Stock, a photographer for Life Magazine, who is assigned to shoot pictures of James Dean (Dane DeHaan – Chronicle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2).
Watching this trailer, DeHaan looks to be damn good in this role and a dead ringer for Dean. I’d only quibble that, despite the link to the name of the magazine, the title is rather generic and weak and should’ve been changed to something that stands out more. Maybe in the US it’s well-known, but in the UK, not so much.
Then again, if it gets a bucketload of publicity, will that really matter?
Also starring Joel Edgerton, Kristen Hager and Ben Kingsley, and directed by Anton Corbijn (A Most Wanted Man), Life is released in the UK on September 25th and I am certainly looking forward to it.
