James Franco Has 19 Films That Are Set To Be Released in 2017

9 of these he is directing.

What an odd career this guy seems to be having. Wasn't he supposed to become the next heartthrob star in Hollywood? I don't think he wanted that after all. He must just be having too much fun. He doesn't really care if anyone sees his films, he just loves creating art, no matter how bad it might be. No wonder one of these 19 films coming out is "The Masterpiece," which is a sort of homage/making-of recreation of Tommy Wiseau's infamously bad "The Room," in which Mr. Franco will be playing Wiseau himself. It must be his love letter to bad movies, the same way "Ed Wood" was Tim Burton's. Godspeed Mr. Franco, we salute you.
