James Franco to continue interpreting Faulkner through the prism of Franco with The Sound And The Fury
Living new-edition foreword James Franco has announced plans for the next work of literature he’d like to reintroduce with a personal interpretation—this time William Faulkner’s classic The Sound And The Fury. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Franco says he hopes to follow his recent adaptation of As I Lay Dying by crafting yet another movie from of one of the author’s ostensibly unfilmable texts, the prose’s scattered focus, stream-of-consciousness expression, and tendency toward uncomfortable sexual themes speaking to Franco, for obvious reasons. (“HEY THERE, JAMES FRANCO. COME SHIELD YOURSELF FROM CRITICISM IN OUR NOBLE AMBITION,” it says.)
