Not right for Disaster Artist


In case you hadn't heard, James Franco bought the movie rights to the book "The Disaster Artist". It's a book about the making of one of cinema's worst movies ever...The Room.

James Franco cast his brother Dave as the lead role of Greg Sestero (you can search for him on this site if you wish). Although they make look kind of similar, Sestero is 6'2" and stands well above the rest of his cast mates in the movie "The Room". Dave Franco is 5'7". Too short for the role.

I thought James Franco would eventually play Sestero and I felt that made a little more sense. But Dave just does not have leading man potential. I'll give him this, he plays the idiot, douchey frat boy to perfection, but that's about it.
