Leonardo DiCaprio turned down the role of James Dean.
Bill Hader was a production assistant on this film before he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live (1975). He told Jimmy Kimmel his job was to bring James Franco cigarettes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and Red Bull, and that James would thank him in the character of James Dean.
James Franco became so immersed in playing James Dean that he went from being a non smoker to smoking two packs a day (he has since quit), as well as playing the guitar, the bongos, and learned to ride a motorcycle.
Gary Oldman, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt were previously considered for the role of James Dean when the film was in early development.
The movie opens with "Song" a poem written by Allen Ginsberg. James Franco would later play Ginsberg in the biopic Howl (2010).
"James Dean: I need to talk to you. Winton Dean: Ethel's waiting for me. James Dean: Well, then why don't you let her wait. Winton Dean: Now, hold on, young man. Don't take that attitude with me. James Dean: No, I need to talk to you right now! Winton Dean: But I don't have to... James Dean: No, look! Everybody thinks I'm great except you! Winton Dean: Well, fine, listen to them... James Dean: Don't you read the papers? I'm in the papers! Everybody wants to meet me except you! Why? Why is that? Winton Dean: The stupidest mistake you've ever made... James Dean: Just shut up and listen to me! Why don't you talk to me? You're my father! [grabs his father's shirt] James Dean: Please! Winton Dean: I deserve some damn respect... James Dean: Dad, I was 9 years old! 9 years old! Now open your mouth and talk to me! Winton Dean: Just calm down. James Dean: [grabbing his father] You talk to me! Dad, please! Talk to me, please!"
"Rolf Wütherich: See that piece on you in the LA Times? James Dean: No, why? I get hammered? Rolf Wütherich: [laughs] Opposite. They said you're gonna get bigger than Brando and Clift together. Can you believe it? [They both laugh]"
