the stare based on a real writer?


this is interesting. i just read that the stare was based on a real writer. maybe this partially explains why james franco has been acting so crazy lately.

well, duh, obviously she's crazy, but that doesn't mean that he's NOT crazy. it's possible that she drove him crazy. there's gotta be some explanation for why he's been acting esp weird. until 2010 he was pretty much a normal actor doing mainstream movies. he had gone back to college before then, but he wasn't going around the globe having gallery openings, crashing grad schools or writing books.

for example, what if she had scripted 'james franco', the person (not the fictional actor), meaning all this weird stuff that he's been doing had been written by her for him to act out in real life to see if anyone would notice that he was acting?

...During the recording the *** asked Martine/Winona to give the actors notes & direction as if she were in a regular workshop rehearsal. Later M/W commented "It's like taking a PICture-you're trying to act natural, but you are not."...

...actors/thespians change with strangers in the room. It's hard to fight the instinct to perform(that eXplains it), even though we know the audience is interested in the proce$$...

Can you please explain to me what you are talking about? I don't see anything about a real writer in the article you posted a link to.
