Jamie Bell and Annette Bening light up the screen in Gloria Grahame biopic

Jamie Bell recalls driving to the Hollywood home of producer Barbara Broccoli to meet Annette Bening, to see if he and the four-time Oscar nominated actress shared that elusive thing: chemistry.
Bening was already signed to portray Gloria Grahame, a one-time Silver Screen femme fatale. And Bell was being summoned, to see what he could do with the part of Peter Turner: a young actor from Merseyside who had a romance with the much older Grahame.

Jamie Bell prefers playing the "funny sidekick" on screen rather than be the leading man.

The 31-year-old actor is currently starring as real life actor Peter Turner alongside Hollywood legend Annette Bening as actress Gloria Grahame in 'Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool'.

Rave review for Jamie in "Film Stars Dont Die In Liverpool" here.
Had the film simply been The Annette Bening Show, we’d certainly have coped. But she’s matched every step of the way by Bell, in a flat-out career-best performance achieved so naturally it’s a marvel. He’s not just sweet, doting, and sprightly, with that boyish charm turned up to 11, but profoundly vulnerable, in a year when male vulnerability at the cinema (consider God’s Own Country, Dunkirk, The Big Sick, to name but a few) has been so often a merciful respite from the real-world horrors men have inflicted.

Bell’s close-ups, his slightly wobbling chin and ability to go from jaunty to crestfallen in a beat, are the film’s secret weapons, triggers for more emotional release than you ever thought possible from just this ordinary Liverpudlian boy-toy.
Jamie also gets a great write up in a review in The Times today, but that content is subscription only so there's little point in me giving a link.

Wow, sounds great! I'm embarrassed to admit, my undying support for Jamie has dimmed a bit over the years. I love him every bit as I did then, but have fallen way behind now with his films. I promise (at least to myself) to catch up soon, and will make every effort to see this new movie as soon as possible!

I am really looking forward to this movie! But according to Entertainment Weekly, it doesn't get released in the US until after Christmas.

It's on my list. 8-)

I will definitely watch this one! It all started with Jamie Bell after all and it's exciting to follow his career.
This movie probably is a candidate for arthouse cinemas...thankfully we have one in the city I live!
