Breaking Baz @ Cannes: James Franco Says He’s Living “A Positive Life” And Has First Studio Movie Role In A Decade; Fest Opener Hit By Tech Snafu

EXCLUSIVE: James Franco reveals that he has a role in a “big studio movie,” the first blockbuster, he tells Deadline, he’s appeared in for close to a decade.

Franco says that the film’s already shot but “it won’t be ready for this summer, but my guess is it will be end of this year or spring-summer 2027.”

The actor wasn’t able to reveal more but he was excited to discuss it because by his reckoning The Disaster Artist, released in 2017, was the last production that he would class as a studio picture. “That was New Line and then they let us sell it to A24,” Franco explains.
