James Franco is Tommy Wiseau in new trailer for The Disaster Artist

November 2, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its release next month, a new trailer has arrived online for writer-director James Franco’s upcoming biographical comedy drama The Disaster Artist focusing on Franco’s role as Tommy Wiseau, director of The Room. Check it out here…

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 and features a cast that includes James Franco, 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.

Originally published November 2, 2017. Updated April 16, 2018.
