Harris Does Dallas: Dickinson Gets into the Ring with Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw”

Date:

For those who might have noticed on the Triangle of Sadness press day in Cannes this past May, one of the players in Ruben Ostlund’s Palme d’Or winner was sporting a distinctive coiffe. We believe that Harris Dickinson might have already been in hair follicle prep mode for his next outing. Deadline reports that the next wrestler to join Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw will be the British actor. Dickinson, has been stringing together some roles in indie projects such as Eliza Hittman’s Beach Rats and Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir: Part II, will play David Von Erich, who was a younger brother (not by much) to Kevin Von Erich – Zac Efron. The A24 project is currently in pre production mode.

The film follows the rise and fall of the Von Erich family, a dynasty of wrestlers who made a huge impact on the sport from the 1960s to the present day.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
