So now I guess I have to watch The Room before this comes out. Thanks a lot, Franco! 

 

There is no other bad movie like it. Its reputation is totally deserved.

 

Anyway, stunned Franco actually made something that's apparently not terrible given his previous run of directing films. The book had real heart as well as laughs, so I'm glad it got its due.

I have never seen The Room but know snippets of dialogue from movie forums.

Bae-24 is distributing, releasing on December 8 after "an exclusive engagement" on December 1.

I can't wait for this.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

December 1 is still empty though. I wonder if A24 scraps the limited plans and goes outright wide then or Focus moves Shape of Water.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Hollywood will never produce something so annoying than that Franco/Rogen friendship. 

[Cmasterclay]

Dat Oscar friendly date tho.

 

This is probably top three most anticipated of the year for me. Seems delightfully weird.

That's the worst date of the year besides Super Bowl weekend. Studios tend to avoid it like the plague.

Completely agree, I can't wait. I'm just wondering if I should read the book first or not.

Krampus opened over 16M in 2015 on that weekend, so there's definitely a market if the movie isn't a dump.

Hell, maybe WB moves Bastards up to December 1. Many theaters aren't going to want that guaranteed flop taking up screens that could go to Star Wars, Pitch Perfect, or Jumanji.

[filmlover]

Yeah, the weekend after Thanksgiving is a usually poor time to open a movie. Only time I can think of a movie opening in wide release in that slot and being a hit is The Last Samurai.

Jumanji is this year? I thought it was next year

I'm currently reading the book and it's fucking great.  Can't wait for this

[Morieris]

 

I feel like i've been waiting for two years for this.

Krampus, Closer, Honey, Behind Enemy Lines.  Then again, some of this depends on how you view a "hit."

If you're a fan of the Room the book is unmissable regardless. Or even better: listen to the audiobook. Sisetero's impressions of Wiseau is constantly hilarious.

I just want Best Director Nominee James Franco to happen.
