AceShowbiz - The first clip from James Franco-starring "Zeroville" has made its way out online. Arriving via the actor's Instagram on Tuesday, January 20, the short clip is little blurry as it is taken using a phone. It shows Franco, who shaved his head for the role, in an office throwing a fit. He and Will Ferrell can be seen sending tons of paper flying in the air. "ZEROVILLE: working with the funniest man alive, will farrell," Franco captioned the video.
Based on a book by Steve Erickson, the movie is set in Hollywood in the 1960s. It follows a man who sets into the business during the time the studios are in decline and independents are rising. The man finds his dream job of being a film editor and encounters various characters from starlets, burglars to punk musicians.
In addition to directing, Franco is playing the main character while Megan Fox portrays Soledad, a starlet with troubled past who becomes his love interest and obsession. Also starring Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Dave Franco and Jacki Weaver among others, it currently has no release date.
