Dane DeHaan Rub Down

.
If I was Dane DeHaan I'd be so sick and tired of every stylist at every photo-shoot insisting I dress up like a half-assed reject from a Bowie concert circa 1972. Enough with the scarves and silken fabrics and stripes already! 

Aaaanyway Dane's just lined up his next project and it sounds interesting - he's making a horror movie with The Ring remake director Gore Verbinski called A Cure For Wellness, about "The Spa From Hell!!!" They're not using the phrase "The Spa From Hell!!!" that is all mine, but they can feel free to borrow it for their posters or what not. The film will co-star Nymphomaniac's Mia Goth (so many willowy blondes). 

I like about 75% of Verbinski's The Ring (I prefer the original Japanese version... and yes, you should read with in a snooty hipster voice) so having him head back to horror should be interesting... but on the other hand he's proven himself a bit of a bloated bore too reliant on gigantic budgets and excessive run-times (see: everything he's done) and if there's one thing that doesn't jibe with effective horror it's both of those things. But I like the basic premise (the cult of massage therapists creep me out - don't touch me!) and Dane's a terrific little actor, so we'll see.
