VMAN editors keep things interesting in the newest issue of VMAN (issue #21): “The Thrill of the Game Issue,” where Hollywood’s top directors (Sofia Coppola, Gregg Araki, Sam Taylor-Wood, Tony Goldwyn, Neil Burger) get behind the lens to photograph their prized leading men. In this spread, VMAN offers a peek into the newest films of 2011 and the minds of male stars like Aaron Johnson, Bradley Cooper, Stephen Dorff, Sam Rockwell, and Thomas Dekker.

VMAN: “Fearless: Both Sides of the Lens”

A sexualized sci-fi world savior; a drug-addict genius; a Hollywood mold-breaker; a wrongfully convicted felon; one of the world’s greatest icons – these characters are no small feat, and directors take great risks with the actor s/he faithfully advocates. We celebrate the Spring’s most daring films by having these intrepid actors photographed by their epic directors.

VMAN issue #20 Fall/Winter 2010: Stephen Dorff

STEPHEN DORFF, the 37-year-old rebel actor and star of the forthcoming, much-hyped movie directed by Sofia Coppola called “Somewhere.” VMAN’s cover and inside spread features Dorff with a body rivaling a teenage athlete.  Dorff says he owes Coppola for the opportunity to renew his interest in the (acting) craft and continue to discover his art.  His mother died of brain cancer one year and one day before Sofia offered him the coveted role.
