The last thing we heard from James Franco was the embarrassingly brief announcement that he would direct a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, only to discover later that same day that Franco didn't actually have the rights to the book, so that project is now scrapped.
But as you might expect from someone so prolific (if you only know him as an actor, you're missing out on a ton of work he's been doing over the past few years), Franco is already on to the next project, a sci-fi movie he came up with called Future World. Deadline reports that The Fifth Element and Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich will co-star with Franco in the movie, which is set "in a post-apocalyptic world that is plagued with heat, ravaged by disease and crippled by chronic war." Franco is co-directing alongside his frequent collaborator Bruce Thierry Cheung. Here's...

In terms of imaginative premises, Future World must surely rank among the most eye-catching, mind-boggling of all. The dystopian concept, which was originated by James Franco, is set to roll before cameras, and has now added Milla Jovovich to the cast. Franco will co-direct with Bruce Thierry Cheung, as well as serving as a cast member himself, and Jovovich will play against type as a villainous drug lord.
Future World finds a post-apocalyptic society, ravaged by disease, heat and war. A young boy, born into nobility, sets out on a journey through this devastated future world, with the aim of finding the medicine his dying mother needs. Though the medicine may prove to be a myth, the boy and his trusty bodyguard press on and confront the Warlord that serves his own agenda, with the aid of a life-like robot assassin.
Warlords, drug lords and life-like robot assassins? This sounds like an interesting,...
