With James Franco as Dean, Michael Moriarty, Enrico Colantoni and Valentina Cervi. This production was made in 2001 for TV and got Franco his first Golden Globe, he really deserved it. Not only does Franco look like Dean, he managed to show us the inner conflicts he had with himself, the bad relationship with his father, his love to Pier Angeli and how he became the rising star in film. Although he had a short 3 movie career he was praised in all 3 films (East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant). He was an incredible actor and surely would’ve made many more powerful movies if he hadn’t passed away. So if you are a James Dean fan, you will enjoy this one, maybe even learn something new about him.
