A24 Films has released the full trailer for writer-director James Franco’s new film The Disaster Artist, which sees Franco taking on the role of The Room helmer Tommy Wiseau alongside Dave Franco, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Bryan Cranston, Alison Brie, Zoey Deutch, Lizzy Caplan, Kristen Bell, Josh Hutcherson, Sharon Stone, Adam Scott, and Zach Braff. The film received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday, where it received both a standing ovation and positive reviews from critics; take a look at the trailer below along with a new poster…
With The Disaster Artist, James Franco transforms the tragicomic true-story of aspiring filmmaker and infamous Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau—an artist whose passion was as sincere as his methods were questionable—into a celebration of friendship, artistic expression, and dreams pursued against insurmountable odds. Based on Greg Sestero’s best-selling tell-all about the making of Tommy’s cult-classic disasterpiece The Room (“The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”), The Disaster Artist is a hilarious and welcome reminder that there is more than one way to become a legend—and no limit to what you can achieve when you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing.
The Disaster Artist is set for release on December 1st.
