James Franco to star in Of Mice and Men on Broadway

Well, you know, if he treats this like other commitments (i.e. attending the creative writing program at University of Houston) it is sure not to happen. In the meantime, I'll sit back and enjoy the triumph of acting delivered by Gary Sienese and John Malkovich in the 1992 film version.

I didn't care for the Sinise/Malkovich version. My favorite filmed version starred two of the biggest psycho douchebag idiots in the business: Robert Blake and Randy Quaid.

I love Anne Hathaway. People hate her because it's en vogue to do so. It's more fun to be bitter and love them when they're the underdog and hate them when they're the front runner.

As for James Franco - he's just a no talent bum who has made everything he was in weaker simply by him touching it.

I've always found him to be a pretty limited actor. That bothers me more than his annoying personality.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I typically enjoy James Franco in his movies. He isn't anything great or special, but far from a terrible actor. His Oscar hosting stint makes me question what kind of stage presence he will have.

He'll probably never be as good as he was in 127 HOURS. Ever. He's a very limited actor, as AC said, but he delivered a pretty great turn in that (wonderful) movie.

Judging by the OZ reviews that are beginning to pour in, he is one of the main detriments of the film, as critics seem to begin to realize his limits as well. I'm sure I'll see this production, but his casting is not exciting in the least to me. I hope he proves me wrong.

Every time I hear Of Mice and Men I think of James Roday's Lennie impression from Psych.

"George, you said I could take care of those rabbits..."
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Isn't Franco supposed to be playing the man who drowned his wife and three kids in a suitcase? I forget the name of the film.
