James Franco is bringing his new movie to Toronto
The Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness series usually screens scary movies, but one film on this year's roster will horrify you by chronicling the back story behind one of the worst (or best?) movies ever made.
The James Franco-directed The Disaster Artist will have its world premiere here in Toronto.
The Disaster Artist looks at how Tommy Wiseau's now cult classic movie The Room came together. It's based on a non-fiction book by Greg Sesteros, who played Mark in the original film.
Since it came out in 2003, The Room has become something of a cult classic, with screenings happening at indie theatres across North America, including here in Toronto.
The Disaster Artist, which also features Seth Rogen, Dave Franco, Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson and Sharon Stone, had its work in progress premiere earlier this year at South by Southwest.
Midnight Madness has a new programmer this year. Peter Kuplowsky secured a lineup that also includes:
