James Franco Is All In: Watch the Actor Play a Gay Porn Producer With Looks to Kill
James Franco will debut the latest entry in his rapidly expanding and diverse filmography on October 21, with the release of King Cobra, a film about gay porn star Brent Corrigan, and the murder of director Bryan Kocis (Christian Slater). Franco and Sean Paul Lockhart (whose stage name is Brent Corrigan) play two aspiring producers who want to buy Corrigan out of his contract. From its recently released trailer, it seems to be a festival of hairless bodies, pouting young boys pulling off their tank tops on the orders of leering older men, and Franco at his most gym-honed and charmingly sinister in what is being called his “most unhinged performance.”
