Paul Dano is hardly a newbie at the whole acting-with-movie-legends thing, having shared screen time with Daniel Day-Lewis and Harrison Ford, among others.

But there are legends and then there are legends. And Robert De Niro, the 27-year-old Dano's co-star in the new flick "Being Flynn," definitely falls into the latter category.

Brooklyn resident Dano plays Nick Flynn, the son of destitute writer Jonathan (De Niro), in a movie about their troubled relationship.

The film, an adaptation of the real Nick Flynn's memoir "Another B------- Night in Suck City," was written and directed by Paul Weitz and opens in theaters on Friday.
