Is this filming??

I know Franco said he was shooting As I Lay Dying over the summer, and i know he wanted Loaquin and Michael Shannon, who are both busy now, so did he post pone it and do this insteed?? The only thing ive heard about this is Val Lauren said he was doing it and it was shooting over the summer, but nothing from Franco...

Also, what happend to The Night Stalker and Blood Meridian???
