Such has been the life of James Franco, that he can still be in school, and when he gets the lark to make a short, he can just get on the phone and called up Michael Shannon to star in it. And that’s the case with "Herbert White," a 14-minute 2010 movie Franco made while at NYU, which is probably one you’d probably otherwise pass over, were it not for the uh, promise, of Shannon having a sex with a corpse. Because he does.
The short is based on titular poem by Frank Bidart, and it’s one that clearly stuck with Franco, and she shares his approach to the oddball source material with Vice:
This is all a long way of saying that, again, Michael Shannon has sex with a corpse. Fulfill your curiosity below. And for more, Franco released a book of poems earlier this year titled "Directing Hebert White," because of course he did.
