Exactly. He was great in "...Beyond the Pines" (as was that whole film). But even though I haven't seen Chronicle I knew enough about his role in it and had seen what he'd looked like and based on that info alone I've been imagining him as Harry since before it was announced, making the announcement a really awesome and sort of surreal surprise. He's gonna nail this character. Just watch.
Not to mention the first film Dane was ever in was John Sayle's "Amigo" alongside Chris Cooper, meaning the two have pre-existing chemistry. In some interviews I've read they really seem to respect and like each other. Their father/son dynamic is one of my most anticipated parts of TASM2.
