Fans of James Dean never tire of hearing about him, and his sexual mystique is a huge part of his allure. Now, THR reports director Guy Guido is planning a new exploration of one of Dean's most important romantic relationships, with his roommate William Bast.

Bast, who has since died, wrote books on Dean, including the one Guido optioned, Surviving James Dean. He was in love with Dean, but the two kept things under wraps to protect Dean's career. Any hope they had of happiness together perished with Dean on September 30, 1955, in the crash that claimed the budding icon's life.

Guido plans an intimate look at not only Dean's sex life, but Bast's navigation of being gay 70 years ago.

Let's hope it gets financed. Based on Guido's Madonna and the Breakfast Club docudrama, we can count on him to cast uncanny look-alikes — and to an extreme attention to period detail.

I wrote about the death of my friend James Sheldon in 2016, when he died at 95 of cancer. I spoke to him with an eye toward conducting a series of interviews to memorialize his incredible stories, but took a long time to transcribe our first — and last interview — because when he died, it really just took the joy out of it.

A year ago, I transcribed it and was re-energized by Jim's observations, wit, naughty sense of humor and gift for dish.

This year, the year he would've turned 100 (his doctor always told him he'd make it to the century mark), I decided to finally publish our talk, and The Hollywood Reporter was kind enough to offer itself as the venue.

Please read and share.
