James Franco is Remaking MOTHER, MAY I SLEEP WITH DANGER For Lifetime
James Franco is an interesting individual who loves to try all kinds of things in his career, which is awesome! He’s always doing something new and interesting. It looks like one of his upcoming projects could be a remake of the classic 1996 TV movie-of-the-week, Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? for the Lifetime channel.
The original movie, which I’ve never seen, or ever cared to see, stars Tori Spelling as an innocent college coed whose seemingly wholesome boyfriend, played by Ivan Sergei, may actually be…are you ready for it?...a murderer!
Next year is the 20th anniversary of the movie, and the remake will be a celebration of it. The news comes from Vulture, who says that Spelling will appear in the movie, and she will most likely be playing the mother this time around. The movie will be co-directed and written by Amber Coney and Melanie Aitkenhead, who both worked with Franco on the upcoming feature adaptation of his novel, Actors Anonymous.
It’ll be interesting to see what Franco’s plans are for this thing. I wonder if he will play it serious or give it a comedic parody undertone. Playing it completely serious actually might make it more funny. What do you think of Franco’s latest project?
