Celebritology 2.0: James Franco

Never thought these three would work on a project together, but okay.

The trailer for Sam Raimi’s film has been unveiled.

In his Huffington Post blog, the actor declares, among other things, that Lena Dunham’s character should get a job waiting tables.

It was back in 1999 when we first met a young James Franco. And by "met" I mean, of course, first saw him and fell head over heels for his "Freaks and Geeks" character, Daniel Desario -- the rebel with a heart of gold. He was the thinking woman's Jordan Catalano. A Dylan Walsh, hold the cheese. In a word, he was perfect.
