First Trailer for James Franco's Hollywood-Set Film ZEROVILLE with Seth Rogen, Megan Fox, Danny McBride, and More
"Love. Cinema. And punk rock!"
The first trailer has been dropped for James Franco’s next film project called Zeroville. Franco directed the film, wrote it, and stars in it. The movie is an adaptation of the author Steve Erickson’s 2007 novel of the same name, and it looks like it’s going to make for a weird, wild, and crazy flick.
The film is set in 1969 Hollywood, and it follows an actor named Vikar who loves movies and is taking any kind of job he can in the industry to be a part of it. Franco is joined by a solid supporting cast that includes Seth Rogen, Megan Fox, James Franco, Joey King, Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Dave Franco, Jacki Weaver, Craig Robinson, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Cynthia Murell, and Horatio Sanz as Francis Ford Coppola.
Here’s the synopsis:
Vikar (Franco) is a lost soul journeying through Hollywood 1969, a land of myths, beauty and monsters. The studio system is in decay, and a new generation of brash filmmakers are on the rise. With his shaved head marked by a tattoo from his favorite film, 1951’s A Place in the Sun, Vikar is a bizarre presence even amid the dreamers and players. He at first finds work in town building sets, then as an apprentice editor obsessed with wielding the power of moving images. As his involvement in the creative process deepens, so does his fascination with a tragic screen goddess named Soledad. Together they discover just how hard it is to live in the blurred boundary between reality and illusion.
Zeroville will be released in select theaters on September 16th. Check out the trailer and let us know if this looks like something you might enjoy watching.
