Actor, artist, student and filmmaker James Franco wears many hats but 2010 might be the busiest year ever for the actor. He’s already appeared in “Eat Pray Love” as Julia Roberts’ love interest and in “Date Night” where he spouted one of the best one liners we’ve heard all year: “Why don’t you zip your vagina, Raymond Burr?.” He’s also starring as Allen Ginsberg in the forthcoming “Howl” and if that weren’t enough, Oscar buzz is building around his performance as Aron Ralston in Danny Boyle’s harrowing “127 Hours.”
But that’s not all the busy man has on his plate. He recently completed work on “Saturday Night,” a behind the scenes look at SNL and what it takes to get a single episode on the air. The film made festival rounds earlier this year where it received good notices and has now been picked up by Oscilloscope who are prepping the film for a February 2011 release. It should prove to be a fascinating insight in the daily rigors of the long running show.
No trailer just yet, but for now, you can check out a sample of the actor/director’s recent work on “General Hospital” where he plays Franco, a tortured artist. Kind of amazing. But we’re also sort of impressed he finds time to masturbate four to five times per day.
