Meanwhile, Kate Upton has joined the cast of the movie titled “The Disaster Artist” starring James Franco, who shall also be directing the film.
The movie is about the making of the romantic drama “The Room,” which is regarded as the worst film of all time.
James Franco will produce, direct, and star in the film and he shall take on the role of Tommy Wiseau, the director of the 2003 film, earning for him the reputation as the Disaster Artist, which is the title of the movie.
Wiseau wore multiple hats behind the scenes of “The Room.” In addition to directing the film, he also wrote, produced, and starred in what is described as the ‘Citizen Kane’ of bad movies.
It is not clear however what the role of Kate Upton is in the movie but it would surely be interesting following her filming stint in the upcoming movie “The Layover.”
“The Disaster Artist” is based on the 2013 non-fiction book titled “The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room,” which was written by journalist Tom Bissell and Greg Sestero, one of the lead actors in the room.
In the book, Sestero recounted his life as a penniless actor and described working with Wiseau, who, bizarrely, is said to have had no experience in filmmaking prior to making “The Room.”
