I guess if your straight and "act" gay in a movie your Oscar worthy but no so if you are gay in a gay movie?

Franco already won a Golden Globe for 'James Dean'.

Wow that's an interesting pair.

James Franco is too pretty for Sean Penn...

He marches to his own drummer and it ain't the beat of the current studio heads. I'll pay to see it.

Me too. This sounds like it could end up being a really great film. Let us hope.

This looks really promising. I'm excited to see it.

Despite his personality, Sean Penn is an amazing actor, and I hope this movie does wonderfully.

I hope they have a kissing scene...

I don't care to see Franco kissing another man, I want to see him kissing me.

But don't people usually close their eyes when they kiss? Or do you want to see yourself kissing Franco on the silver screen?

but anyway...you can't have him. Not now, not done with him yet.. I'm holding him hostage for a few weeks at a time.
