The film, which is called One Hand Tied and will star Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why) as the Hollywood hearthrob, will feature Robertson as Dean's close friend and UCLA roommate Bill Bast, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
However, due to Dean's burgeoning Hollywood career, they kept their relationship private.
Dean never came out publicly during his lifetime, but addressing a question about his sexuality in a 1954 interview, he responded: "No, I'm not homosexual. But I'm also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back."
He continued in a statement: "For some, the suggestion that his sexuality may have been more complex than that challenges a fantasy they've held onto for decades. But others are genuinely excited by the possibility of seeing a more layered, vulnerable and more dimensional James Dean — someone who wasn't necessarily confined to the identity Hollywood created for him.
Actor Robertson rose to fame as the young version of Jamie Bell's Niall in Richard Gadd's toxic masculinity drama Half Man.
One Hand Tied won't be the first film made about Dean, with the 2001 James Franco-starring TV film James Dean, and 2015's Life, having previously covered the star.
