Blonde Mamba, the next-gen production house led by Amelia Baker and Mackenzie Munro, is partnering with Kari Skogland’s Mad Rabbit banner to develop “An Innocent Fashion,” an adaptation of R.J. Hernández’s debut novel.
Skogland, who was Emmy nominated and won a BAFTA for directing “The Handmaid’s Tale” and is now directing Marvel Studios’ “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” for Disney Plus, optioned the novel, and is attached as showrunner and executive producer on the project. Baker and Munro are producing.
Billed as a younger, lighter and more intersectional “The Devil Wears Prada” meets Brett Easton Ellis’ “Glamorama,” “An Innocent Fashion” follows the coming of age of Elián San Jamar – a sexually fluid Cuban-American from a working-class background in Corpus Christi, Texas. Changing his name to Ethan St. James, Elián graduates Yale and heads to New York City – where he confronts the reality of the millennial fairytale...

Since starring in Judd Apatow's short-lived series "Freaks and Geeks" (1999), James Franco has done just about everything.
The 34-year-old renaissance man has an undergraduate degree from UCLA, among other diplomas. He's been nominated for an Academy Award, and even (sort of) hosted the awards in 2011. Professionally, Franco has acted in a long list of movies, directed several others, and even written roughly a dozen plus screenplays.
Starting today, November 27, multi-hyphenate Franco can be seen facing off against Jason Statham in the Sylvester Stallone-penned action flick "Homefront." Franco plays Gator, a small-town meth kingpin who butts heads with Statham, a former DEA agent who shows up in Franco's town to finally settle down with his family.
Do you already know more about Franco than you'd care to? Maybe. Do you know everything there is to know about the man? Unlikely. From his middle-school shoplifting days to that time he shadowed a male prostitute,...

We've been enjoying getting to know the multi-faceted-ness of actor/writer Dave Franco over the last few years via roles on TV ("Scrubs," "Privileged"), in films like "Fright Night," appearances in music videos and more. In addition to his scene-stealing performance in the upcoming "21 Jump Street" reboot, it was just announced that Franco's short film "Would You," which he wrote, will be premiering at the SXSW Film Festival next month as part of the Narrative Short Competition.
MTV News was lucky enough to get Franco on the phone recently to chat about the inspiration behind his big debut, the raunch factor and how having his mom be a part of the cast made for a very, very uncomfortable scene.
"I happen to have been in a phase in my life where I was playing 'Would You Rather,' everyone goes through those phases so I incorporated that into the short,...

HollywoodNews.com: I’ve confirmed that James Franco’s film, “The Broken Tower,” has been officially sold to Focus Features and will be shown at the Toronto Film Festival. But that’s not all for Franco, who has just now–not earlier–agreed to appear again on ”General Hospital” this fall.
But there’s more: Franco will also bring two other projects to the Toronto Film Festival next month: a 1 hour film called “Idaho” which Franco shot on 8mm and based on van Sant’s “very early” draft of “My Own Private Idaho,” which is one of Franco’s favorite films. The Oscar nominee is also bringing his “My Own Private River” project to Toronto, which he showed in Los Angeles during Oscar week. That’s also concerning “My Own Private Idaho.”
Meantime, Franco’s Sal Mineo film, called “Sal,” concerning the last day of the legendary actor’s life,...

ABC caught up with the mothers of some of the nominees and put together a segment from (among others) James Franco's mom Betsy, Mark Wahlberg's mom Alma, Jeremy Renner's mom Valerie, Matthew Libatique's ("Black Swan" cinematographer) mom Georgina Libatique-Porter, Mark Ruffalo's mom Marie Rose and Darla Anderson's ("Toy Story 3" producer) mom Annie Latta-Krach. Here is what they had to say:
Betsy Franco (pictured above with James on "General Hospital"): "He was who he was from the minute he was born. He seemed to like to explore a lot. I'd take him to the fields near our house and just let him look at every little thing he wanted to look at for hours ... I was on the edge of my seat and whenever he'd look at the camera and say, 'Mom, I'm sorry I didn't call back,' I thought he was talking to me.
