Lycee white trash rocker. Son of the Super villain. Super bad itself. Problem solving crime stoner. Gay activist rights, based on real life figure Scott Smith. More recently, an avid thrills of real life Aron Ralston and soon another life real figure, Beat Poet (and Member NAMBLA carrying map, I wish to add in relation to keep exact history thanks much) Allen Ginsberg. James Franco has indeed proven to be a fine actor, rather than another pretty face of Hollywood. The dude is top and I like it a lot. Franco is assembling an adaptation of Faulkner, As I Lay Dying, which he hopes to follow up with a screen adaptation of the novel classic and uber-Cormac McCarthy of the Old West, brutal blood Meridian. Apparently Mr. Franco recently shot a scene of pitch, with actors Mark Pelligrino, Scott Glenn, Luke Perry and Dave Franco (yep, brother of James') in order to let the rightholder Scott Rudin know just exactly how serious it is to bring the tale of the screen.Hell, he worked for Josh Brolin and another adaptation of McCarthy, no. Country For Old Men, which he filmed a scene "hire me good!" filming of planet terror.
Perhaps dedication and tenacity of Franco develops will be and Rudin will submit the project to him. Franco made it clear that it is willing to finance the film itself, which one would think is a hell of a sweetener agreement. Tommy Lee Jones and Ridley Scott have been attached to the project in the past, personally, I would like to see Franco ahold of the property. He is talented, hungry and seems to understand the source material.
Those who have not yet read blood Meridian, it is the story of "the Kid", a young man without name derives through Western and running against some of the legends and the events of the time. Dispel both myths Amerindians, as well as the white man, it is far more realistic and brutally wild "Western" I read. It is located in my top 10 novels of all time. Very highly recommended.
