James Franco is one busy man. He's hosting (and nominated for) the Oscars, teaching at Yale, premiering a new multimedia "Three's Company" piece at Sundance, headed to Broadway in the fall and planning to direct two and star in at least three upcoming films.
Well, make that potentially four. According to Deadline, Franco is in talks to star in the Linda Lovelace biopic "Lovelace" as the porn star's husband/pornographer, Chuck Traynor.
Before you get confused, no, this is not the same biopic Lindsay Lohan and then Malin Akerman were attached to. That one is called "Inferno" and is being directed by Matthew Wilder. This Lovelace biography has Kate Hudson in talks for the role of the titular star and will be directed by Franco's "Howl" helmers, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
You can learn some pretty neat things by way of movie news. For instance, I knew nothing about butter sculptures until reading about a new film titled "Butter," which is set in this world of dairy art, an American tradition going back at least to the 19th century.
The happy couple had impeccable fashion taste at the first big New York movie premiere of 2009:
NEW YORK -- The reason the afterparty for Monday night’s “Bride Wars” premiere was held at Tiffany’s is entirely uncomplicated: the movie is, among other things, an extended product-placement exercise on behalf of that fabled Manhattan blingery. Nothing new here, really. The company has been a pop-culture byword among bridal daydreamers ever since the 1961 film version of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” the Truman Capote novel; and it’s longingly referenced to this day in the weekly annals of “Gossip Girl.”
