James Franco Reviews, Interviews & More
James Franco seems to have no qualms about attacking a project, no matter what the content—whether it’s making a high-concept meta-study of the gay footage excised from William Friedkin’s Cruising (Interior.Leather Bar), playing a spring rapper/gangster (Spring Breakers), or totally bombing at the Oscars. So it makes sense...
Warner Bros. released the final poster for this summer's Man of Steel, and it's quite different from all of the others we've seen. In the last and latest one sheet, Henry Cavill gets his closeup as his superman is seen flying fast over Metropolis. You check out the poster below. Also, the first trailer for Kristen Wiig's comedy Girl Most Likely hit the web...
If there was ever an apocalypse, who do you think would get rescued first? According to Jonah Hill, actors like George Clooney, Sandra Bullock and himself would (guess that Oscar-nomination got to his head). Sony has released a new clip for This Is The End, the movie where a whole bunch of Judd Apatow's favorite actors experience the end of the world.
James Franco, Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride are all actors who have starred in some combination with each other in a series of comic films (usually involving Judd Apatow or weed) about slackers and man-children who eventually redeem themselves and grow up. Now, though, they reunited for a rather unique...
As an April Fools' Day prank, Sony has released a faux trailer disguised as a Pineapple Express sequel. What we get is a random/silly homemade video of Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and even Jonah Hill (who wasn't in the original by the way) acting like fools and getting high together. Check it out below.
James Franco and Seth Rogen might be reuniting for another movie, titled The Interview. Once again, they'll be playing buddies who get caught up in a murder, except this one will be a lot more high profile. The film would constitute as Rogen's second directorial effort. Also, Legendary Pictures released new Pacific Rim photos. And College Humor...
Spring Breakers, despite all appearances, is mostly a fantasy film that remarks on the post pubescent generation and other serious topics like partying it up. But it's hard to cling onto anything noteworthy from this film. It's just there. It has a lot to say, and in some portions tells it brilliantly, but for the most part it doesn't work.
Sam Raimi steps outside his comfort zone for Oz: The Great and Powerful. The director alongside James Franco leads this colorful prequel to 1939's The Wizard of Oz. Based on L. Frank Baum's novels, the film is a funny, heartwarming and worthy entry into the Oz series.
James Franco has a big hat to fill as he tackles The Wizard of Oz. The actor plays Oscar Diggs in this week's Oz: The Great and Powerful. He's the man behind the myth of one of the most revered characters in film and literature. Franco joined forces with director Sam Raimi to unveil the wizard's untold story. ScreenCrave recently spoke to the actor about his Raimi...
Girls in (and likely out of) bikinis. Guns. Crime. Drugs. Sex. These are the building blocks of Harmony Korine's latest film Spring Breakers, and yeah, we kind of want to see it. Though Korine made his name with the art-exploitation film Kids, and spent some years in the art house wilderness, this is likely to be his biggest crossover hit....
Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful looks to be following in the tradition of a number of recent films that have tried to update classic fairy tales (or fairy tale movies) for a new generation. And moreso than the previous directors of these films, Raimi has become an old master at this point. Now there's a clip that shows how he brings new effects to a very...
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, despite being the sixth entry in the exhausted Planet of the Apes series (seventh if you count Tim Burton’s cross-eyed remake), and starring James Franco (who seems to be on a sub-‘Joaquin Phoenix in I’m Still Here’ journey to turn everything he does into annoying performance...
We have no idea what to expect from Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, but it looks - if nothing else - pretty memorable. The film has four young girls (Ashley Benson, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Korine) who decide to enter into a life of crime to pay for their spring break, only to get sucked in deeper by a cracker crime lord (James Franco). How do you not...
Fantasy prequels are definitely making it's rounds this year. Between the continuation of the trilogy The Hobbit and Disney's re-imagining of the world of Oz in Oz the Great and Powerful, there's plenty of make-believe movie wonder to go around. As we edge closer towards the film's release, we're treated to a couple of brand new character posters that show...
James Franco is trading in sexually charged projects for stories about famous killings in the 1960's. Last week, news dropped that busy-as-a-bee Franco had plans to direct and star in Beautiful People, a film about the life of famous hairstylist Jay Sebring, who was murdered by the Manson Family. Franco, who's currently at Sundance promoting a billion projects,...
The 2013 Sundance Film Festival is happening right now. Celebrities, film bloggers, studio executives and Hollywood hopefuls are all gathered in the snowy town of Park City, Utah. We'll be bringing you coverage all week long, of course. But to get you in the Sundance spirit, we decided to roundup all things concerning the festival. Below we have the new trailer for James Franco's...
Seeing as it is directed by man known for his blackly comic and absurdist aesthetic (Harmony Korine), and it features James Franco as a corn-rowed drug and arms dealer who seduces a couple of Disney actresses into a life of crime during Spring Break, the trailer for Spring Breakers is pretty much what you’d expect: insanity. Trashy, absolute insanity. But does...
If someone told you that Sam Raimi was directing a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, one of the most beloved films of all time, and said prequel would star James freaking Franco of all people as the Wizard, you’d balk, right? After all, Raimi is an incredible director, but Franco as the Wizard? Well, it looks like Raimi’s gambit may have paid off as—despite my...
It's strange to think about how not-so-secretly excited we are to see Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful. Here we were, sitting at our computers pondering about other things when suddenly BAM, the first trailer hits. Since then we've been anxious to see what else the House of Mouse will churn out in promotions for the upcoming fantasy...
Michael Shannon—if you need someone to play a grim, wild-eyed sociopath, you could do far worse than Shannon. Such must have been director Ariel Vromen’s thinking when casting Michael Shannon as real-life Mafia button man Richard Kuklinski (who killed 100 targets between 1964 and 1986) in the biopic The Iceman.
