The Disaster Artist director and star James Franco says he kept up his Tommy Wiseau accent all the time he was making the movie, staying in character even when he crossed over behind the camera to direct other actors.
Franco’s The Disaster Artist tells the true and outrageous story of the making of The Room, one of the most notorious and unaccountably relevant bad movies of all-time.
Franco stars as The Room director Tommy Wiseau, a bizarre and slightly mysterious individual who has become a cult hero thanks to his weird on-screen persona as well as accounts of his maniacal off-screen behavior.
The Disaster Artist also stars Alison Brie, Bryan Cranston, Zoey Deutch, Lizzy Caplan, Zac Efron, Kristen Bell, Melanie Griffith, Seth Rogen, Adam Scott, Sharon Stone and yes, the real Tommy Wiseau himself.
