James Franco delivers the most brilliantly bad performance of his life after 60-plus takes in the hilarious first trailer for The Disaster Artist. The film stars Franco as cult film legend Tommy Wiseau and chronicles the making of Wiseaus infamous movie, The Room.
The new clip captures the making of one of The Rooms many preposterous scenes, in which Wiseaus character, Johnny, storms onto a roof denying accusations that he hit his girlfriend, sees his friend and offers a casual, Oh hi, Mark.
Ostensibly a simple moment to film,The Disaster Artistdetails a painstaking shoot. Francos Wiseau continually forgets his line and misses his cue, much to the chagrin of the crew, which includes Seth Rogen as the script supervisor and Dave Franco as Greg Sestero, the actor who played Mark. At one point, the entire crew shouts Wiseaus line back at him and when the auteur finally nails a flat, but accurate, reading, everyone cheers.
Wiseau wrote, directed and produced The Room, which opened in 2003. Despite horrendous reviews, word about the movies awfulness spread around Los Angeles and the film quickly became a cult classic, complete with Rocky Horror-esque traditions at midnight screenings. The Disaster Artist is based on Sesteros 2013 book of the same name, which details his friendship with Wiseau and the making of The Room.
Franco directed The Disaster Artist, which will also star Ari Graynor, Alison Brie, Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson, Jacki Weaver and more. The film opens December 1st.
