WATCH:
James Dean Hustles For Fame
By Jeremy Kinser

The pre-fame years of immortal screen star James Dean, including his liaisons with helpful gentlemen in the entertainment industry, are chronicled in an upcoming film Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean.

James Preston stars as the late icon, who was rumored to have used his relationships with well-connected gay men to advance his career. Preston strikes a number of Dean-esque poses in the stylish, mostly black-and-white trailer, while the wistful ballad "I Fall In Love Too Easily" is sung in a smoke-filled bar.

"[The film] is not a conventional biopic," writer/director Matthew Mishory says exclusively to The Advocate. "It is set very narrowly in the early years before Dean was a star, as he found his way in the world — in every sense. It is the first film to deal with the relationships that were truly important to Jimmy."

James Preston as the main face of Abercrombie & Fitch Spring 2011

Profile shot of Preston in Spring 2011

James Preston is the main model of the Abercrombie & Fitch Spring 2011 marketing campaign. So that makes it his second appearance in a campaign for A&F. Last year, Preston was featured in the Spring 2010 A&F Book. The A&F Book was a great online gallery of photography shot by Bruce Weber for the Spring 2010 season, and it was in a sense a warm up to the launch of A&F Quarterly Screen Test for Back-to-School 2010. The guy was also the main face of abercrombie for the Summer 2008 fashion season. Interestingly enough, he is an actor (if anyone didn't know) and has locked in screentime in The Gates and Blue Bloods. Check out the previous shots below:

For some strange reason, Abercrombie & Fitch has his name
as James Flook in A&F Casting. Note that Preston in noted
as an A&F store model: He was previously posted as an HCo.
model What a cover-up...

James Preston as James Dean

James Preston has been one very popular Abercrombie & Fitch model! The Sitch on Fitch posted on him in Models So Hot They Were Featured More Than Once | James Preston and it became a hit! Everyone fiinds this guy extremely attractive... On that note, I will assume you all will also find this post interesting...

James Preston,
A&F Spring-Summer 2011

Our Abercrombie boy will be starring in Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean. Yes, and he will be playing the leading role as the iconic James Dean! The film (produced by Iconoclastic Features, and written and directed by Matthew Mishory) explores the sexuality of James Dean (1931 - 1955). Dean played an influence in the image of RUEHL No.925 and it is very fitting for Abercrombie model to play his role! And get this: it was A&F photographer Bruce Weber who told Preston to drop out of college to pursue acting! Preston himself makes a great Dean. However, Preston is, too, a model and so he kinda comes across as a bit too touched up faced than the genuine Dean. Joshua Tree, 1951 is nevertheless wholly nostalgic and - pardon me - bad-ass! ...Only worthy of a complete rebel without a cause.
