What if Hollywood rebel James Dean hadn't died in a car crash at the age of 24? This is the premise of a South African-made TV commercial that has wowed the advertising industry and been lauded as an instant classic. Imagining an alternative history in which Dean is now a Hollywood elder statesman, on his family ranch, racing his own-brand sports car and receiving a lifetime achievement Oscar. The ad, shot in Cape Town, ends with the line: "Given more time, imagine the possibilities." It is for the South African investment company Allan Gray. The producers carried out a worldwide search for a suitable actor, considering entrants in James Dean lookalike competitions in the American midwest. But they settled on Des Erasmus, a mechanic from Cape Town. This commercial is available to view on YouTube, in the serach engine just type in James Dean Commercial.YOU TUBE

New Dean books out now. For ordering information check out AMAZON, just follow link at bottom of page. First up is Rebel With A Pen: The Poetry of James Dean by Carlton Hayes.

I believe this to be a work of 'fiction'. If you do purchase just be warned. Second is James Dean: A Rendezvous With Immortality by John Gilmore. Not too sure at this point what the book is about or will entail. I'll post more as I learn about it. Its set for a due date of January 2010.
