!["Beyond the Sea" stars Kevin Spacey as '50s and '60s pop idol Bobby Darin, a casting decision that only makes sense when you take into account that "Beyond the Sea" was also co-written, directed and produced by Kevin Spacey. Darin was 37 when he died in 1973, eight years younger than Spacey is now. That's the same number of years that separated him from his wife, Sandra Dee, played here by 21-year-old Kate Bosworth. Understandably prickly and self-conscious about this, the movie kicks off with an astonishingly preemptive sequence that attempts to disarm any incoming criticism by appropriating it, ACT UP style. (He's here. He's middle-aged. Get used to it.) During what we're told is the anniversary party of his 10th year in show business, Darin interrupts himself mid-song, berates the band and film crew, and stalks off the set. In no time, he's accosted by a gangly reporter in a fedora, who gutlessly calls after him, "Isn't the truth that you're too old to play this part?" Darin's brother-in-law, Charlie (Bob Hoskins in full Fred Flintstone mode), jumps to his defense. "He was bornda play da part! Giiieeeett outta here!" Then he turns to the star with a disbelieving shrug: "How can you be too old to play yourself?" Spacey responds with an enigmatic smile, and you get the feeling he had a vocal support system as this project went forward.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-12/15495662 ""Beyond the Sea\" stars Kevin Spacey as '50s and '60s pop idol Bobby Darin, a casting decision that only makes sense when you take into account that \"Beyond the Sea\" was also co-written, directed and produced by Kevin Spacey.
