Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber will write about The Room
For a long time, Tommy Wiseau’s so-bad-it’s-fun movie The Room has been a favourite of comedy types in the US, particularly among the crowd that includes Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. So taken is James Franco with the film that he’s planning a movie about the making of the thing and has just made a deal with The Fault In Our Stars writers Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber to craft the script.
They’ll adapt actor Greg Sestro’s book The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, which he wrote with journalist Tom Bissell. The tome chronicles the chaotic making of the movie, which really needs to be seen rather than described. You can find the trailer here.
Dave Franco is attached to star as Sestero, with his older brother directing and playing Wiseau, who thought his filmmaking dreams had come true when he got to shoot the drama, only to watch it become a cult sensation for all the wrong reasons.
Neustadter and Weber, who also wrote (500) Days Of Summer and The Spectacular Now, have several projects in the works including another book from Stars author John Green, Paper Towns and Romeo & Juliet-inspired film Rosaline.
