Watch James Franco Celebrate The Room in Wild Disaster Artist Trailer

Tommy Wiseau turns his Hollywood dreams into a catastrophic reality in the hilarious new trailer for James Francos The Disaster Artist. The film stars Franco as cult film legend Tommy Wiseau and chronicles the making of Wiseaus infamous movie, The Room, as well as Wiseaus friendship with the movies co-star Greg Sestero (Dave Franco).

The clip opens with Wiseau and Sestero bonding over their shared Hollywood dreams, yet floundering in their pursuit. Sestero admits hes in awe of Wiseaus fearlessness, even though it doesnt pay off, like when heattempts to impress Judd Apatow with a recitation of Hamlets To Be or Not to Be soliloquy in a crowded restaurant.

Francos Wiseau grows even more ridiculous as he and Sestero set about makingThe Room, a story about an all-American hero named Johnny (who, Tommy notes casually, is maybe also a vampire). The clip teases Wiseaus descent into madness as the love triangle in The Room plays out in real life alongside numerous on-set blunders. While filming The Rooms dramatic death scene, Wiseau pretends to blow his brains out and then rolls around in agony, prompting the script supervisor (Seth Rogen) to call cut and suggest he do that before pulling the trigger. I disagree, Wiseau snaps back.

Franco directed The Disaster Artist, which is based on Sesteros 2013 book of the same name. The movie also stars Ari Graynor, Paul Scheer, Alison Brie, Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson and Jacki Weaver and opens December 1st.
