James Franco has directed far more movies than most people realise, and part of the reason many have gone under the radar is that that are small films with the only well-known name being behind the camera (and ended up with limited distribution).
However he’s thinking bigger with his Steinbeck adaptation In Dubious Battle, with THR reporting that Franco will star alongside Selena Gomez, Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston and Danny McBride.
Published in 1936, In Dubious Battle is considered the first major work of Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Set in a fictionalized valley in California, the story explores themes Steinbeck continued to develop: group behavior, social injustice, man’s inhumanity to man— all themes which continue to be relevant today. A labor conflict between migrant apple pickers and the local growers’ association is the backdrop against which Jim Nolan (Franco) becomes involved in the labor movement and rapidly matures as he learns what it means to do organizational fieldwork.
It doesn’t exactly sound like the most thrilling of plots, but it was always one of Steinbeck’s skills, to make seemingly dull subject – quite often labour relations and the precarious position of manual labourers in a changing world – and make them interesting. Hopefully Franco will do the same. He’s certainly got a good cast to help him.
The movie will start shooting next month.

James Franco’s plans have certainly changed in the past few days, as rather than running around promoting the release of The Interview, the cancellation of the film’s release means he’s lying relatively low instead. However just so we don’t forget about him, the trailer for True Story has arrived, a film that hopefully won’t have hackers threatening to commit terrorist atrocities.
A couple of weeks ago the very first picture from Michael arrived, and now a few more pics of Zachary Quinto, Emma Roberts and James Franco in the gay-themed movie have arrived, which you can take a look at above and below.

Michael is already shaping up to be one of the highest profile gay-themed movies of 2015. But often when LGBT movies are hoping for a bit of mainstream appeal, all the actual full-on gay content gets scrubbed out. However if
After a bit of a delay, The Interview is on its way, with Seth Rogen and James Franco teaming up once more for a new comedies where they’re recruited to kill a dictator. Now a new UK trailer has arrived, which you can watch below.
Zac Efron has many talents, his pecs being just two of them. But now he wants to let the world to know he can do something few others can – masturbate hands-free to climax while driving! He can do it 17 times in one day! And what other actor would want to help Zac show the world this unusual ability? Well it should come as no surprise that it’s James Franco.
There was always one thing missing from James Franco’s campaign to be the gayest straight man in the universe – he didn’t have any boyfriends to be straight-gay with. That’s changed those, whether it’s fake
Back in August both Zachary Quinto and James Franco released a few pics of themselves on the set of their new movie, Michael, but it’s only now that we’re getting the first proper image from the film, which accompanies a
