James Franco’s Tommy Wiseau movie hires Fault In Our Stars writers
James Franco has directed his share of bizarre, art-damaged vanity projects: a pseudo-documentary about a reimagining of the deleted scenes from Cruising; a hicksploitation take on an early Cormac McCarthy novel; a split-screen, video-installation-like adaptation of As I Lay Dying. However, none of these is as intriguing as Franco’s ongoing project to adapt The Disaster Artist, Greg Sestero’s memoir about the making of The Room and his friendship with its writer-director-star, Tommy Wiseau.
