'This is the End' Featurette: James Franco Plays a Character Named James Franco

Damon Houx — Tue, 14 May 2013 02:57:33 +0000

One of the gimmicks behind Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's 'This is the End' is that the cast is loaded with celebrities playing themselves. But that gets interesting when you have a performer like James Franco, whose life has become an art project. In this new featurette, you can see how the actors approached playing themselves.

Between Two Ferns: James Franco, Ed Norton and The Lonely Island Head to Spring Break

Mike Sampson — Wed, 08 May 2013 13:50:35 +0000

Two of our favorite things on the internet are the Zach Galifianakis 'Between Two Ferns' and The Lonely Island web shorts. They are equal parts hilarious. But what if we told you that 'Between Two Ferns' and The Lonely Island teamed up for one massive video about music, spring break and gay marriage starring James Franco and Ed Norton? It's hard to describe but you're just going to have to watch for yourself because it's hilarious.

James Franco in Everything Is So Wrong It's Right

Kim-Thao Nguyen — Mon, 06 May 2013 17:58:25 +0000

We get it. James Franco is the ultimate self-declared Renaissance Man who is down to take Hollywood and well, the world, by storm. Well Franco, we’ll see your Harry Osborn and raise you a Bueller. Check out the roles that we’d love to see Franco take on. ‘Avatar’ ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ ‘Game of Thrones’ [...]

'This Is The End' has become one of this summer's most anticipated films, thanks to a couple of hilarious red-band trailers (check out the most recent one here, if you are the only person on the internet who hasn't seen it yet).

'This Is the End' Red-Band NSFW Trailer: Emma Watson Steals Seth Rogen and James Franco's Supplies

Damon Houx — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:27:23 +0000

'This is the End' got an early jump on April Fool's Day by releasing a fake trailer for 'Pinapple Express 2,' but that was all a build-up to the latest trailer for the movie, which is NSFW, filthy and filled with violence. It's also pretty great.

'Spring Breakers' Review

Matt Singer — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:59:28 +0000

James Franco might not be the best actor working in movies today, but he's almost certainly the most fearless. His choices are as unpredictable as they are gutsy. He'll try just about anything: television dramas ('Freaks & Geeks'), soap operas ('General Hospital'), comedies ('Pineapple Express'), and big blockbusters ('Spider-Man,' 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'). His latest role, in Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers,' might be his craziest and most daring to date. He plays Alien -- pronounced "A-Leen" in Franco's South Florida drawl -- a drug dealer and aspiring rapper who likes to boast that he's from another planet. Franco's performance is suitably extraterrestrial: hilarious, disturbing, deranged, poignant and endlessly quotable. In an instant classic scene, Alien shows off all his prized possessions -- machine guns and money and nunchucks and 'Scarface' DVDs on constant repeat -- while screaming "Look at my s---!" Alien's orders are superfluous; any time Franco's onscreen, you can't take your eyes off him.

James Franco Admits He's Playing a Character Named 'James Franco'

Emerald Catron — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:21:50 +0000

Okay, then. It’s settled. James Franco is a fraud. Sure, he was joking when he admitted it on ‘The Colbert Report,’ but … was he? Also, Stephen Colbert is probably unbeatable in a challenge of Tolkein trivia. Bonus: game of “Marry, Hit That, Throw a Pail of Water on Her.” Another brilliant interview from Stephen [...]

'Oz the Great and Powerful' Review

Matt Singer — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:45:00 +0000

"I don't want to be a good man; I want to be a great one." So says Oscar, a humble (read: crummy) magician in a traveling circus circa 1905, just before a magical tornado sweeps him and his hot air balloon away to a land that just so happens to share his nickname: Oz. In 'Oz the Great and Powerful,' Oscar (James Franco) finds exactly what his heart desires; the chance to be a great man, wealthy and powerful, the ruler of a beautiful kingdom. And the kingdom does look damn good, and most of Oz's adventures in it are pretty entertaining as well.

'Spring Breakers' Trailer: Watch Even More Uncensored Footage

Nick Romano — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:54:38 +0000

If we can learn anything from the new international 'Spring Breakers' trailer, it's that life is all about big booties until the cops come to break up the party. Unlike the first one that hit a while back, this new trailer hails from France, and is more uncensored and NSFW, so be warned -- there's naughty language.

'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Is One Movie James Franco Probably Won't Be In

Britt Hayes — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:08:20 +0000

Seems like James Franco is everywhere these days, but we know one movie he won’t be appearing in: ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,’ the sequel to ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes.’ In a recent interview with MTV, James Franco intimated that he was originally scheduled to make a small appearance in [...]

'Freaks and Geeks' Then and Now: The All-Star Cast Reunites After 12 Years

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:30:17 +0000

Many classic but cancelled series hold the distinction of featuring a number of A-list stars before making their big breaks, but few hold such a distinguished roster as Judd Apatow's cancelled 2000 NBC series 'Freaks and Geeks.' The retro series featured the likes of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Lizzy Caplan, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and even Thomas Wilson (Biff of 'Back to the Future'), despite only running 18 episodes. Twelve years later, are you ready to see the entire cast reunite?
