Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, Lawless) is set to star in the first film from the newly relaunched marketing and distribution company Picturehouse. Metallica: Through The Never, written and directed by Nimrod Antal (Predators), will feature the rock band and focus on DeHaan as a member of their crew. He is sent on an urgent mission while they play to a sold-out crowd and unexpectedly finds his world getting turned upside down.
Picturehouse’s boss Bob Berney said in a statement: “Nim and the band have made a film that really captures the spirit of Metallica and their millions of loyal fans. It‘s an entertaining genre film with a concert inside it, a fun ride featuring an exciting young actor, Dane DeHaan. It‘s a very cool project to reboot Picturehouse with.“
Metallica: Through The Never will be released on August 9th. DeHaan has just completed Kill Your Darlings with Daniel Radcliffe and Devil’s Knot with Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth. He has also joined the cast of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as Harry Osborn.
