Indeed, James Franco’s The Disaster Artist has premiered at TIFF to rapturous praise from critics, after a similarly enthusiastically received work in progress screening at South by Southwest.
A UK release date for The Disaster Artist is yet to be announced.
James Franco both directs and stars as Wiseau here, throwing his everything into the man’s unplaceable accent and untraceable logic.
His brother Dave stars as Sestero; Josh Hutcherson plays Philip Haldiman (who played Denny), Ari Graynor plays Juliette Danielle (who played Lisa), and Zac Efron plays Dan Janjigian (who played Chris-R).
