  • Cheesy? Sure, most TV movies are. Blame the writer. But still, easily the best Dean biopic so far, and Franco was brilliant. :)

  • it IS fucking cheesy and dumb.

  • too tall for james dean

  • This movie doesn't seem to be that accurate.

  • Where can I download this movie? I want it free torrent. Please reply thanks.

  • he was never as crazy a s they portray him. this is a dramatization.

  • ohh AHAHAHAHA i confused james bond with james dean!!!!!! ROFL!!!!!!!! now i get it!!!!

  • oh god its just made for tv movie of course of course its going to be cheesy on tnt

  • if u think james franco is great actor than ur idiot! this was shitty trailer with a shitty actor

    theres only one james dean

  • @peiffer11 I kind of like Franco but your right he's not half as good as Jimmy Dean was! Only one James Dean

  • Comment removed

  • The rebel without a cause :)

  • I wanna see this damn movie!!! Too bad it's damn near impossible to get a hold of a copy... wish they'd re-release it.

  • @JDBCreations It's on youtube now

  • So cliche for such a great movie!!!

  • and here comes james franco....

  • this is a terrible trailer....

    but i loved the movie haha

  • Looks hollywood as fuck. gay.

  • i really miss the days don lafontaine voice-overed almost every single movie trailer that ever came out

  • James Franco is an alright looking guy, but that Jimmy Dean he's amazing.

  • does anyone know why this movie is so dam expensive????? i cant find an answer anywhere

  • Nice!

  • @DevoidOfFeelings Franco not charismatic??Plz, have u seen the symmetry of his face?

    Semi-famous,hate 2 say it but wrong again what about Milk_127 hours_Howl_City by the sea_Pineaple express_Good time Max...

    He is not James Dean (love him so), he is James fucking Franco the guy that takes a role in daytime tv and doesnt give a f __ about what anyone thinks! how many A-list actors do this? Franco is charisma!

  • check out the call by chris gross- 9 minute short film, pretty cool!

  • Chya I saw this years ago before I acknowledges Franco and i'm super impressed cause I always thought he played him so well and looked very close. Good role for him.

  • haha i am a huge fan of james dean, he was a great actor, i have a rare frawing of him and same with a rare tie with him on it, haha i also share a birthday with the guy....

  • @legendz21 well, same here :-P

  • james dean = james franco. they look almost the same! xD

  • @magicalworl34 you said right, almost :) No one is Jimmy :-P

  • I seriously think that James Franco is like the reincarnation of James Dean.

    Ofcourse you can't compare Franco with Dean but tell you one thing he fcking rocked the screen! It's probably in the name ;)

  • "Dream like you'll live forever. Live like you'll die today". - James Dean

  • I think James Franco as James Dean is physically good / very similar i love james franco

  • @DevoidOfFeelings He received an Oscar nomination. I'm pretty sure he's fairly successful.

  • Probably not historically accurate in every aspect, but Franco personally embodies many similar characteristics both intellectually, emotionally & physically. The American acting trinity of Clift, Brando, Dean - spawned many disciples, but Franco 2 or 3 generations later may be their true heir.

  • @Evegalewitz well said unfortunaly hollywood ruined them all if you look at it. clift was witch hunted by walt disney's Mcarthurisam, Brando, Dean is he or isnt he.because of there troubles hollywood became a nicer place now for actors like franco, Jake, affleck.etc.

  • I have loved James Dean forever, since I was a little girl. I've seen every movie and documentary there was about him. He was never gay, never. He was a great actor and will be missed.

  • OMG! I want to watch this movie!!:O <3

  • I'm sorry, but this trailer is a bit too cheesy and cliche for me.

  • So cool!

  • Happy Birthday James Dean 02/08/2011 Forever Young

  • @RalphAdriane The shame say as my girlfriend's....? Oh wow.

  • @owenhunt lol. what do you mean...?? make ur statement constructive,man..

  • @RalphAdriane Uh... what? I could have sworn I typed: "The same day as my girlfriends...? Oh wow."

    What a pointless thing for me to f' up.

  • @owenhunt K

  • uhhh I''ve seen tons of james dean's pictures and movies the only actor that looks like him is james franco end of story

  • well this movie is fake.. I thought he was gay. o_O in this movie he has a girlfriend?! wtf

  • @KadeshLeMort he hid the fact he was gay by going with women

  • @KadeshLeMort he was bi...

  • Colin Farrell would make a better James Dean.

  • james franco is not just the new james dean. he's the new johnny depp. just think about it!

  • what's essential is invisible to the eye - I think.

  • Adored this movie from start to finish...James Franco was brilliant in this, and is a fabulous actor, and hot ;) but (repition much) no-one can compare to James Dean

  • James Dean is the Reason i act

  • I wish he would've studied dean a bit more. the mannerisms just weren't there.

  • Just finished watching this movie..... was fantastic. Franco did a good job, but still came nowhere close to dean's acting at the same time lol.

  • bad music

  • james franco IS james dean!

  • if you like to see the movies history watch *BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy.

  • he sorta looks like dean but in terms of dean's mannerism, he's way off

  • @pibada5 he's pretty close IMO that guy Caspar Van Dien was WAY OFF

  • this is first time i ever heard his name...my bad~!! and what i want to say is,he's such an amazing actor,besides,he's so handsome~!!!!!!!!!

  • @munichan90 He's in Spider Man you didn't know that?

  • i LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH AND IT TOOK ME SO MANY YEARS TO FIND IT ON DVD IN LONDON FOR £8 POUNDS .. ITS AMAZING

  • @TheAbidkhan and you can watch on you tube for free

  • So disappointing

  • This trailer makes me sad

  • It's sad that people only remember James' 3 movies. He did stage & TV work too (commercials included) but that's rarely mentioned.

  • Check my channel to watch this movie!!! :D

  • he looks like Spiderman's ex-best friend.

    he really does !

  • @surferdudette19 That's because James Franco IS spiderman's ex-best friend ;) Same actor.

  • @RustenKokus..oh.. I knew that .. xp

    realised it REALLY is him right after posting

    thanks neeway :L

  • @RustenKokus lol

  • seems more like jay baruchel then james dean

  • you know I totally forgot it was james franco in like 30 seconds.. it just looks like james dean lol

  • damn, looks good. surprised wasnt in the theaters

  • This film prooves only one thing: a James Franco is no James Dean ...

  • Franco is way to goofy to play Dean, even when Franco is trying to be serious, he comes off as too goofy. Dean was so much smoother.

  • james franco is perfect for this role.

  • This movie was on tv last night and was very good and probably fairly true to life. In my youth Jimmy was not only a great actor but the only actor who brought truth to the screen.

  • @zthetha The movie had one major flaw , James Dean WAS Winston Dean s son, NO QUSTION. They were not close but not because there was a qustion who Jimmy s dad was or was not. That part is a COMPLETE LIE. . Read any bio on James Dean, any year, even the newer trash crap books, NOT ONE HINT Winston Dean was not James Dean s father/. I have read nearly ALL James Dean bio books and no hint AT ALL. . I think they did get a little nicer to each other the last 3 year not sure they got close

  • Just saw it and it was way better than I expected, even if it seems kinda rushed in the last 20 mins or so. James Franco really captured his essence for me and did a great job and Mark Rylance obviously spent a lot of time doing his research on the little details. The scene that Rylance made up between Dean and his dad towards the end actually made me cry. Wonderful tribute to a fascinating pop culture Icon.

  • I love James Dean and James Franco <333

  • James Dean was such a great actor, the only person I've seen who even comes close to the likes of Brando and Dean is Gael Garcia Bernal. So versatile. Brilliant.

  • edward from twilight shoud have been jame dean! lol no just kidding!

  • what happened to tnt they used to show awesome original movies like this one,I loved this movie and I loved James Franco as James Dean I mean he WAS James Dean in this movie...TNT sucks these days

  • omg I just knew my Best "in this time " Actor was in movie about my hero !

  • James Franco's handsome, he's okay. But he doesn't look half as appealing to me as James Dean. Sorry. No one can replace The Original Rebel. <3

  • @karaven23 I don't think he was trying to replace James Dean, James Franco is portraying James Dean, the movie is is about James Dean, just like Denzel Washing portrayed Macolm X and just like Jim Carrey portrayed Andy Kaufman.

  • @honeegrrl I didn't say he was. James Franco is his own amazing person. :) But I'm merely stating that James Dean, well... he's a kind of his own. :> He's James Dean, dude!

  • @karaven23 you might be right, but about his performance james franco deserves an oscar outstanding my point of view ".

  • @karaven23 Pretty sure he was trying to replace James Dean. He was helping to tell James Deans story. And he did it amazingly.

  • He was a great actor, and I liked the side of him that was searching, smart, studying acting, music, poetry... What I hate are all the james dean wannabes he spawned... the guys in the 50s who are in their late 60s now... those who bought the red jackets...  If he'd lived he would've evolved... he would've outgtrown a pier angeli. Probably would've moved to Italy or France part for his life. I liked James Dean... just not his false immitators. He would've told them to get their own lives.

  • @RoseyinWonderland I think he would be amazed people stil love him, outside his family members that is. If he had lived...the mind can go anywhere on that since he was only 24 there is no way to know. I do believe more great things were in store for him. As to Pier Angeli, maybe she would still divorced Vic and she and Jimmy would have married but who knows, it is all a guseing game

  • Hmm, he hasn't a wide enough jawline to pull off James Dean, and his forehead is all wrong. But not many people look like James Dean.

  • It with french subtittles will be AWESOME!

  • I AM DEFINITELY GONNA WATCH THIS! james franco is amazing

    and i can tell ill love him in this!

  • ok thank god im not the only one!! i kept telling my buddies like " whoa james franko looks alot like james dean" and they were all like " who's james dean".

    this makes me smile :).

  • James Franco looks a lot like James Dean and he did a terrific job in this role, but he should have worn blue contacts. James Dean had blue not brown eyes.

  • he did a damn good job.. I am a longtime James Dean fan, and let me tell you... Franco is AMAZING.

  • Check out Brad Davis in Midnight Express.He should have played Dean in theearly eighties.

  • dude james franco is more of a buddy holly then a james dean, young brad pitt could of been a good jd

  • hes a wanna be james dean

  • james franco did awesome in this movie love it =)

  • fucking childish asshole

  • You can kiss my ass dude. Look who is childish? You're talking shit on YouTube. Grow the fuck up.

  • why writing like a hundred P? what does that even mean you little fucking prick?

  • In my opinion , James Dean seem to be very unhappy and he portrayed it in his acting , a torture soul , but he was so handsome and cool.James Franco looks just like him , my friend looks like James Dean too , what a talent ..R.I.P James Dean you are an icon...

  • No one looks like Jimmy but Jimmy hollywood can make anyone look so what close with make up and wardrobe JIMMY IS JIMMY

  • James Franco is just as close as it gets, but James Dean.. Nobody has that smile. Nobdy is like him.

  • @MahRiotGC agreed. he's simply a one of a kind. and he is also in my opinion, proof of god

  • james dean is the best

  • i always wanted to look like james dean! i pull my collar up at work when i smoke to make the guys laugh

  • type in "Broken Dreams Trailer 2010"

  • one miss though, they only forgot he was gay

  • @r0nna No, the gay thing is debateable. His girlfriends didnt think he was gay. Pier Angeli sure as hell didnt think he was. She always professed he was THE LOVE of her life up until she died. She had a lockette she wore untill she died, two pictures, her father and James Dean, hardly a pubility stunt after all she lived 16 years more years after he passed away

  • omG 100% like HIM O_o he is soooo HWAT!

  • man he really looks like him

  • when did this movie come out? looks cool

  • It came out in 2001. :)

  • Thanks Mate :)

  • Your welcome. :)

  • I, like all of you admire James Dean - I also agree that James Franco is a good actor and looks almost identical to Dean. However, I just didn't buy the acting..it seemed unrealistic.

    A good example of more realistic would be Kilmer playing Morrison in the Doors. Despite some obnoxious things in the movie, THAT was pretty damn spot on.

  • he's a legend cause he lived fast and died young and thats how he'l be remembered.x

  • @Davegilcross the reason he became a legand is because he died young and he was big before his death like a 1950s brad pitt if u would

  • Its true that James Dean only made three films however two of these he received Academy Awards for showing the talent he possessed, also he made several appearances on Television in very diverse tv-shows at the time.

  • @pantelin2 Yes he did. He was so amzeing from the get go. . I am not saying there are not a few good actors today, but so very few and even they do not come CLOSE.

  • @Davegilcross Are you kidding. He was just AMZEING and actors today WISH they had half his talent. Check out his T.V. appearances, they are on DVD and they are sold thru Amazon

  • James Dean is legend!! he lives in my heart forever!! all my life growing up, i always wanted to be cool like him!! he was such an awesome actor!!

  • He's a legend !

  • James Dean is a legend! One of my fave actors :)

    Franco does sorta look like James Dean, not the acting though.

  • No one can top Jimmy, but Franco made a good attempt, in my opinion

  • was this on tv already?

  • Franco does a really good job of portraying Dean, nobody can ever match up though, James Dean was a legend in every sense of the word. What a man :)

  • How come? Tell me!

  • Umm..well he just was. He did everything, from acting to racing and aced at them all, most people know who he is, that means he is somewhat of a legend.

  • i'm actually very young and not knowledgeable. i would like to know more about james dean!!! please tell me more... "he just was" isn't enough! =(

  • Oh right, sorry, i thought you were just being rude, very sorry :) Have you seen his films? Admittidly there is only trhee, Rebel without a Cause, East of Eden & Giant, but they are well worth watching, you can buy biogrpahies and stuff aswell, of you could just google search him :)

  • @TheLucy1992 All three of his movies are on DVD. They are sold thru Amazon. He did several T.V. appearances that were very popular in thier day. Many of his T.V. work has been put on DVD also sold thru Amazon. He did race cars and was very good at it. I know for sure he won 2 ed place in one race.

  • He is motherfuckin God,even this guy looked up to him.

  • ok thats great just sayin.....i didnt know who it was

  • Comment removed

  • Big James Dean fan here, but this was weak.

  • im pretty sure if franco continues to keep up his underrated career

    one day people will remember him and who knows?

    Maybe he might get his own biopic!

  • james franco is amazing but no one will ever reach the level of an icon, as James Dean.

  • I personally think Marlon Brando's the greatest actor of all time, but James Dean was an absolute legend too - with only 3 movies.

  • @grandtheftautumn91 me too i think marlon is better...but they're both hot

  • Not just 3 movies. 3 great movies

  • @grandtheftautumn91 James Dean actually tried to mimic Marlon Brando's method of acting. They actually didn't get along at first because of it.

  • @festustigers11 Wow really? Yeah I can definitely see them clashing considering how huge they both were around the same time. Well, it certainly worked - they were both brilliant =]

  • @grandtheftautumn91 Yeah I think it was more of Brando thought Jimmy was trying to take his place but Jimmy just respected the way Brando did things. Eventually they ended up good friends.

  • @festustigers11 Not true. while James Dean admired Brando and they did met once Brando didnt like Jimmy. Refused to talk to him, return calls etc. Maybe Brando was jelious that Jimmy was the better man and actor

  • @grandtheftautumn91 Well actually he was in other movies he just wasn't a big part, such as Fixed Bayonets, in which he played Doggie. Sailor Beware as the boxing opponents second. Has Anybody Seen My Gal?, where he played the youth at the soda fountain, and Trouble Along The Way as an extra.

  • @ABoredGreaser I know that, I really meant he only starred in 3 :)

  • I personally love james dean he is one of my favorite actors and so is Franco ...He did a good job portraying him

  • james franco always reminded me of james dean. very serious until idk pineapple express lol

  • OMG me toooooo

  • @Bloomie good! I'm not the only one who saw the stunning resemblance!! R.I.P.!!

  • Dean was the pinnacle, the rest just try to be him. I think Franco really got the closest any of these new stars have.

    and as a little factoid. my mother was born the same day exactly James died

  • @TomCollinsgirl Tell your mom HI. I was 7 weeks old when James Dean died. But I am such a huge fan, I discovered him when I was 12 years old nd havenot been the same since

  • u just need ur birthday, what year were u born and what city?

  • was just on facebook and it said i have the same birthday as James Dean, February 8

  • that is so cool. ur an aquarius too. do u know ur chinese zodiac sign?

  • no but I'm taking Chinese as a language course in my school this year maybe I'll ask my teacher

  • he looks pretty similar to james dean, but i think klaas heufer-umlauf does even more. ;)

  • i like franco. if they did this movie now and it was nt just on tv maybe it would be pretty good. but this doesnt look all that great. i would much perfer just watching a james dean movie

  • crap movie dont bother
